Drill instructor: Louder, louder! You're not screaming at me! I can't hear you, [unintelligible]. Recruit: Aye, aye, sir! Aye, aye, sir! Aye, aye, sir! Aye, aye, sir! Narrator: This is Marine Corps boot camp in Parris Island, South Carolina. Before they become United States Marines, all recruits have to graduate from the Marine Corps' 13-week basic training program, which tests them physically and psychologically. Drill instructor: No one feels sorry for you! Ty Kopke: It's a pressure cooker for 12 weeks under the pressure of an intimidating drill instructor, someone that's putting you under the scrutiny of attention to detail every single day. And, to a certain degree, everything you do is never gonna be good enough. Recruit: Everything at boot camp sucks. It's gonna hurt. It's gonna be painful, but it's only gonna hurt more if you look at it that way. Drill instructor: Around, around, around! Kopke: It's boot camp, and it's supposed to prepare you for the challenges that lie beyond. [cadence] Narrator: We spent five days at Parris Island, where we saw different companies at various stages of training. Drill instructor: You will not run. You will walk. Get on the yellow footprints right now. Recruits: Aye, sir. Drill instructor: You will do what you're told to do, when you're told to do it, and without question. Do you understand? Recruits: Yes, sir. Narrator: On day one of boot camp, new recruits arrive at the receiving barracks, where they take their first steps toward becoming Marines by walking through these silver hatches, symbolizing the threshold between the outside world and Parris Island. Drill instructor: You will walk through these silver hatches once and never again. Do you understand? Recruits: Aye, sir! Narrator: Once inside, recruits are processed and assigned to their platoons. Drill instructor: Put it up! Recruit: Yes, ma'am. Drill instructor: I know you were told not to come with your hair down. Put it up in a bun. In a bun, bun, bun, bun, move faster. Recruit: Aye, ma'am. Aye, ma'am. Narrator: After graduation, Marines commit to a minimum of four years of service. Upon entering the Corps, an entry-level private will earn around $20,000 a year. Drill instructor: Sit down. Recruit: Yes, sir. Narrator: Recruits are required to make a phone call to a family member or their recruiter to let them know they've arrived. Recruit: This is recruit Hatcher. I have arrived safely at Parris Island. Please do not send any food or bulky items to me in the mail. Narrator: They're only allowed to read the script printed for them inside the phone bank. Recruit: I will contact you in seven to nine days by letter with my new address. Thank you for your support. Goodbye for now. Drill instructor: Get in the classroom. Recruits: Aye, sir. Narrator: Recruits are given three chances to get someone on the line. Recruit: Sir, my recruiter's not answering, sir. Drill instructor: Call him again. Narrator: Not every recruit is able to make a connection....
