A Marine is at Parris Island for 15 Months! Then cries about it on camera. I admire his determination but come on and suck it up Marine! People get hurt! I remember when they smoked you for smiling in your pics! I still to this day have a hard time smiling in pics. But crying in an official Marine Corps video? Did anyone give him some extra special PT attention for this? Are we that desperate for recruits that we don't just send this cup cake home? It's obvious that he's soft and breaks easily? Imagine this guy getting some spall from a close round and falling to the ground screaming he's gonna die and he wants his momma? Maybe I'm to tough, but I came through when they were tough on us! And I've always been tough on my subordinates. What do you guys think?

It’s very common for new Marines to cry when they receive their Eagle, Globe and Anchor. It’s a transformative moment and it is happening after 54 hours of being in the Crucible. To say you are mentally and physically drained is an understatement. Plus you aren’t fully there mentally. You are moving on will power at that point and your tail is dragging.
I agree the kid seems a little soft but honestly we don’t know his MOS path. Not all servicemembers are stone cold killers. We need supply folks and admin too and those cats aren’t generally snake eaters.
The video isn’t a good look though.
