There's nothing like revisiting old memories. This was exactly what this DVD did for me.I can still hear my DI's telling me to "Never quit and to never give up". I still remember the first time I met my DI's in our SquadBay. Not the mention the fear I felt once I got off the bus at MCRD-SD. You can't go into Boot Camp all over again, but this is the closest you'll ever get to it. God Bless the creators of this film, for letting a Devil Dog revisit his old memories.

I'm giving the DVD itself 5 stars. Its a great look at what goes on during those first 24 hours off the bus. I'm giving the seller 5 stars for shipping, delivery and refund of damaged product.The DVD was unfortunately returned due to the last half of the whole DVD being so digitized and crackly, it was just unwatchable.I would buy from this seller again as my purchase was received and credited with exceptional speed.

The movie is excellent, it gives the viewer insight on the first 4 or so days of Marine recruits lives at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego. These aren't actors they are real recruits and the drill instructors are definitely not actors. A must have for any Marine past or present and anyone who wants to catch a glimpse of Marine Corps Boot Camp.

Awesome!

I would have like more video coverage of the different stages of training, perhaps a longer movie. I wished they had followed the same recruits from begining to end of training, but it was still very good for my son (interested in joining the Marines) to see. It was great there was no voice-over, just the sounds of what was going on around the camera. I liked the fact the cameras kept rolling even when the recruits weren't doing or saying anything amazing, very realistic!

This movie is great for those who are enlisting in the Marines. It gives a taste on bootcamp life but leaves enough out so when you go to MCRD your still surprised.

I bought this for my fiance who was a Marine and neither he nor I was impressed with this movie. He recalls boot camp much differently then what is portrayed here. Sometimes he would see something that reminded him of what happened there but for the most part he was correcting the movie. It was boring and slow and less behind the scenes than a purposefully made movie with every event planned. I am unhappy with this purchase especially because I looked for this darn movie for almost a year so that he could see it.

I preferred making a Marine.
