12 Weeks of Marine Corps BootCamp seen like never Before!
Get physically prepared for Boot Camp with SDI Nichols' Back to the Basics Boot Camp Fitness Program. NOW AVAILABLE!***If you are joining any branch of service, this is a MUST SEE FILM!*** My name is SSgt. Nichols, Senior Drill Instructor from the award winning Marine Corps Boot Camp documentary called "Ears, Open. Eyeballs, Click." This documentary was filmed on my platoon 1141, and has been viewed in many film festivals around the world. "The Movie" shows you 95 minutes of all twelve weeks of Boot Camp. The NEW CHAPTERS being released will show you 40-45 minutes of each week of Boot Camp you did not get to see in "The Movie." I am proud to introduce my website dedicated to the past, present, and future service men and women in the U.S. Marine Corps, Army, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard, as well as all agencies that support our freedom.If you thought the drill instructors from THE BOYS IN COMPANY C and FULL METAL JACKET were pure fiction, this vivid documentary chronicling 12 weeks of basic training shows how true-to-life those loud-mouthed portrayals can be. From the first moment the bus arrives at a San Diego Marine base, the screaming begins. Drill Instructors shout at the top of their lungs "Open your mouth!" and "Hurry the freak up!" as frazzled, fresh-faced recruits tackle any number of tasks: from putting their beds together to cleaning their barracks to enduring the "Boot Camp Death March" - an excruciating endurance test that causes more than one recruit to collapse in agony, only to face the wrath and humiliation of their superiors. Without judgment or bias, "EARS, OPEN. EYEBALLS, CLICK." presents an unfiltered, fly-on-the-wall glimpse into the chaos and pain of boot camp. Are the young men of Platoon 1141 being trained as models of discipline and respect or dehumanized killing machines? The film remains defiantly objective, intent on allowing viewers to enter this secret world and form their own opinion. CARRY ON! |
