ps - there was a movie called “The DI” - made to watch it. Jack Webb and Rip Torn, basic training at Parris Island, SC ...
The DI is a great film - one of my faves.
BTW, another one you might like -”Ears Open, Eyeballs Clicked.” It’s a documentary about Marine boot camp (I think San Diego, not sure).
Here’s the trailer (some profanity):

And here’s the Senior Drill Instructor (at least, I think he’s the Senior) chewing out a recruit who failed to complete an obstacle course (LOTS of profanity)
