The Call of Duty...

After the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, the recruiting stations were overwhelmed by the amount of people enlisting. Like my Grandpa said to me, "After Pearl Harbor, you didn't wait for the draft, you enlisted." What he said to me always got me thinking of why people did want to enlist. Mike Stank enlisted way before WWII even started. More people were enlisting into the Marines because "the Marines are the best, and don't you want to be the best?!" But to earn the right of being a Marine, every one of them had to go through bootcamp.

Aaah bootcamp, the place where grown men cry like babies lol. Not really, but it is extremely hard! The directing instructors job was to break you down and rebuild you into a "Marine." The recruits would go through hours and hours of brutal training and humiliation. I dont know if i could take it, i would try my hardest to succeed though


This picture shows how much the directing instructors yelled and criticized new recruits. You couldn't even cough without permission. They are superior, they are your master until you leave boot camp, and you either give them respect or get yelled at like this guy in the picture.
Here is a video that shows what boot camp for Marines are like:
