I am a 68 year old daughter of a now deceased marine DI who did his duty at Paris Island. If my dad were still alive I know that he would be disgusted and sickened by these so called “marines.” Dad believed in honor, commitment, loyalty, integrity, and character. The people of today have no idea what those words mean – very sad state of affairs.

I joined the CORPS in 1962 on my birtday 12/27/62. I was 17 yrs old. I went to boot 4/1/63 camp MCRD SAN DIEGO. The morning I stepped of that bus I knew I was in another world. It was the world of the MARINES!!!!! I Was scared but proud. I served my time in Okinawa,Nam and Cuba. I will always be a UNITED STATES MARINE!!!!!

A sad time for the Corps. But the Corps will survive and grow. Remember the time in 1950’s when some careless DI drowned some recruits in the PI swamps. The Corps survives.

Our beloved USMC will prosecute and boot-out these bad apples and survive this unfortunate incident. Recruiting standards must be maintained and cannot continue to be lowered in order to bring in and retain quality people our Corps. SEMPER FI, MARINES!!! USMC 1958- 1962 MOS 0849

Enlisted in ’65, Nam in ’66-’67, 0331 – Echo 2/4! I am embarrassed beyond words. The Corps has changed thoughout the years due mostly to political intervention. I am 74 now and tried to reenlist right after 911. I felt pretty good when the recruiter didn’t laugh, he told me I was a bit too far past 35. Remember – change is inevitable, never stops. I’m very happy I won’t have to deal with this crap too much longer. Semper Fi until I die!!

72 year old Marine Sgt, Parris Island to FMFPAC Force Recon, Pearl Harbor. Full Metal Jacket filemd today would prob’ly look more like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

Served from 66-70 with 30 months at DMZ with 2/4 and An Hoa with 5th Marines. I feel our standards have slipped for those entering, plus with time outs and less stress in boot camp moral character is becoming slack.

Those 16 “jerks” were not ever worthy of being called Marines.

There was a time you could leave your wallet, keys or other valuables on your rack, and not worry about them being there when you returned.. Now you’d better place an armed person on guard duty to keep a dirty sock 🧦 safe. At 83, enlisted at 17, and still proud of my service, I was appalled to hear about this bunch of “STUPID” numb skulls. Not only that but I was in B Company, 1st Battalion, 5th Marines.
If convicted, how about 20 years hard labor in Portsmouth. If it’s still in operation. If not Leavenworth might be an option.
