Marine D.I. vs. West Point Drill Team

If the cadet can follow orders and remain calm under the pressure of a Marine Corps Drill Instructor...well, you know that the cadet is destined for greatness. There is no scarier, more stressful creature in the U.S. military than a Marine DI

"As you were sir..." LOL. oh man thats a gem.

I love that "No excuse, Sir." is included in their acceptable responses.

1. The cadet isn't being disrespectful, he's following orders. West Point cadets can use only one of four responses to a question: Yes, sir, No, sir, No excuse, sir and Sir, I do not understand. For him to say "Aye Aye Sir" would not be allowed. 2. The DIs evaluating him understand this and the whole "broke session" is a test to see if he will back track and second guess himself, however he passes their test.

I don't care what branch you're in, as a marine and a has been Army Cadet, this is freaking hilarious.

man i gotta give respect to the commander of the drill team for standing his ground lol

I stood in his shoes at a similar event with a USMC DI in 1998. Afterwards, he bought me a beer and explained to me why what he put us through mattered. It stuck with me. He was an E-7 close to retirement. I hope this ended the same for them.

Good job on the Cadet for sticking to what he is supposed to do.

I have to give him credit for having the balls to stick to what he was taught "This cadet has 4 responses, that is not included in them" fuck... He was able to keep bearing and be very professional at the same time. It makes me wonder what I would do if I was put in a situation like that

Yes. Unless you come into contact with a Marine officer. By then, you will ALWAYS, no matter what branch, address a commissioned officer with "sir" or "ma'am".

It's amazing to me how people misunderstand the exercise portrayed in this video. Do they really think that 2 USMC D.I.s just happened to wander into the presence of these West Point cadets and just start fucking with them? This is an exercise intended to test the self-control and deportment of the cadets under pressure and the Marine Corps Drill Instructors were given this role because they do have the reputation of being able to get under your skin and break you.  

Which is exactly the case, those cadets are specifically instructed that they have only four responses. aye aye, sir is not one of them. Had he said aye aye, sir he would have failed because he did not follow the orders of his CO to follow a directive of the DI that is outside his CoC that countermanded orders. Notice in the beginning of the video the person filming or nearby said "he's not going to say it". He knew what was going on.

lol i like the part at the end where the marine DI had on the paper "aye aye sir" and asked the cadet to read it. seems to be that the DI's had respect for the cadet's guts. good to see real men interacting there.

They aren't trying to "break" the cadet, they are performing a routine inspection. If you want to see them "break" people take a little trip down to either MCRD Parris Island or MCRD San Diego.

Actually, the DI just wrote"Aye aye sir" on their evaluation sheet. The Army cadet was correct when stating that it was not one of their four responses

"As you were, sir" ... dead....

I guess Army and Marines don't mix.

0:17 well that escalated quickly.....very quickly.

All JROTC & ROTC get triggered when he said “you are not in the military” lmao

Watching this I am reminded of this... Private Joker: Sir, NEGATIVE, sir! Sir, the private belives any answer he gives will be wrong and the Senior Drill Instructor will only beat him harder if he reverses himself, SIR! Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Who's your squad leader, scumbag? Private Joker: Sir, the squad leader is Private Snowball, sir! Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Private Snowball! Private Snowball: Sir, Private Snowball reporting as ordered, sir! Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Private Snowball, you're fired. Private Joker's promoted to squad leader. Private Snowball: Sir, aye-aye, sir! Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Disappear, scumbag! Private Snowball: Sir, aye-aye, sir!
