“I Wanna Be a Drill Instructor” March & Exercise with Marine DI’s

He said, “I wanna be a Drill Instructor – I wanna shave off all of my hair.”

Just after this year’s Fleet Week BootCamp Challenge, The United States Marine Corps allowed Coronado’s Surf’s Up Studios access to a Drill Instructor cadence march and a series of DI exercises including Marine Corps push-ups.

Tony Perri and Surf’s Up – Coronado would like to thank Major Neil A. Ruggiero and SSgt Leonard Langston for the warm welcome we received and for making this video possible. And of course, a big Thank You to the Marine Corps Recruit Depot DI’s for allowing me to march alongside them – camera in hand – without running me over – and the once-in-a-lifetime chance to “get in THEIR face” a bit during exercises.
