I showed my son videos of Receiving Week, and he asks why the DIs mistreat the boys so badly? He’s seven, mind you and he looked appalled. I says ”Son Marines need to go through this type of training because they cannot read or write this is the only way they can live now.” lol he and I laughed it off but I later explained that these DI’s need to break these young men and women down in order to build them up into the most deadly US Marine that they can be they demand the best. My son had a glean in his eye and said I “I love our military.” God bless you guys.
