Yeah . Mhm .
Oh , really ?
Maybe more moving . Mm hmm .
Yeah .
Thank you .
Mhm . Yeah . Mm .
Metal . Since the Bronze Age , it has
been a foundation of society , the
building block of nations , the fabric
of modern industrialization . But in
order to create a material strong
enough to stand the test of time ,
there is a process . It starts with a
plan fine tuning every detail to ensure
success , creating a mold perfecting it .
A perfect mould leaves no room for
failure . Mhm .
All right . Mhm . Yeah .
Uh huh . Yeah . The
second ingredient is as old as humanity
itself . Fire used by ancient
civilizations to purify gold in an
effort to increase its value . Today's
middle working is no different . The
final preparation is to begin heating
the crucible to pour the more
what you do .
It's been 10 weeks since recruits stood
on the yellow footprints aboard Marine
Corps Recruit Depot , Parris Island .
Their drill instructors have spent the
last 70 days breaking them down to fit
the mold of the United States Marines
Combat mindset team on set . Everybody
suggesting one at a time we'll get
there . It's a struggle right now .
English ? Mm hmm .
Today is the first day of the Crucible ,
a grueling 54 hour long test of
everything they have learned . Up to
this point , the mold has been made .
It's time for the trial by fire . The
unknown distance range the first of
eight main events during the Crucible .
The recruits have learned how to use
their rifle in a controlled environment .
But now they must apply their knowledge
in this simulated movement to contact
the rounds . And the rifle may not be
real , but they are beginning to
realize the heat of the Crucible is
Yeah . Bye .
Oh , yeah ,
Yeah . The next event
is the confidence course . The
recruits have been through a confidence
course before . But this one , this one
is different . Oh ! Oh !
Uh huh . 64
2019 , 18 , 17 .
God ! Throw !
Bye ! Yeah !
Mhm ! Let's go , sir !
Mhm ! Hello ?
My God !
Good boy .
Yeah , right . No ! Mhm !
Oh , the recruits are
confident coming into the Crucible .
But that confidence is being tested .
They are starting to realize the true
meaning of exhaustion . Yeah ,
Mhm ! Mhm . Get those doors . Doors ?
Yeah . 36 25 . 20 . Board that 3
to 21 . 30 29 28 27
20 . The Battle
of Fallujah is the next event of the
day . Mhm .
Yeah .
Oh , no . Girl throughout Fallujah as
well as the rest of the Crucible ,
there is a continual presence of the
men and women who make the crucible
possible . Black shirts ,
The Marines of Weapons and Field
Training Battalion , commonly referred
to as black shirts are the personnel
who make sure the crucible is being
conducted safely and properly .
Mhm
because you don't Yeah .
Oh , yeah . Get on over and then you
better you know , once your body leaves
it . Okay , I know . So that's all you
got is your body right here at the
moment it does get today you're dead .
So get over , get Don't get
role . They'll be getting naked on a
roll All over
the
the sun sets and the day comes to
an end . The recruits are exhausted and
ready for some well needed rest .
Unfortunately , at the Crucible , rest
is few and far between . Hopefully I'm
gonna go to sleep for as long as I can ,
and then wake up in the morning , one
more day left and then EJ ceremony
Saturday morning and then put all this
behind me . Move as a fleet day by day .
You gotta take it in while you're in it .
Like , strangely enough , I don't think
I've ever loved my mom so much . Except
being here . It's just weird . Very
humbling . Yeah , the whole experience
is very I don't know . I guess
humbling is the best way to put it .
This is only the first night event ,
and it only gets harder from here .
Something trying to what ?
I want that big .
Yes , Yes .
75 Hurry up . Pass
it off . Get up there now and then he's
right there . And then Joe . Yeah ?
Come out . Mm .
Special .
Mhm . Mhm . Okay . Okay .
Just remind them , um , what they came
here for and remind them of the goal
that they want . They all want to get
that . You've got an acre . So the they
if they stop now something , especially
the Crucible , then they're just
letting everything go when this is
literally the company . That mhm .
Yeah . The metal is
now completely melted . The crucible
has been heated . And it's time to pour
the molds .
Yeah . The
foundry workers transfer the molten
steel into the crucible and use a crane
to position it over the molds .
Yeah . Mhm .
Mm .
The molds are poured . All that's left
is to wait for the metal to take shape
and cool to its final form
at Dash five . Strike , Strike !
Strike ! Now , don't get a new Oh ,
what what ? Right .
Put into the deck the obstacle courses
and event the recruits have seen many
times throughout recruit training . But
this time , it proves to be a new
challenge .
Running low on food and sleep . The
recruits need to find a different
source of motivation . That motivation
is usually found in their fellow
recruits ,
Relying on teamwork to navigate . The
obstacle course is the only way the
recruits will get through it .
Sorry . How are you ?
The day movement course is one of the
most intense . No ,
at this point of the Crucible , the
intensity of the drill instructors is
rice , as they demand more from their
soon to be marines . Whoa .
Good . No .
Yeah . Yeah . Well ,
well , Yeah . 20 people .
Oh , no . About
As the pressure from the drill
instructors rises , so does the
frustration of the recruits .
Yeah . Mm . Get
that . Well , where ?
Wow , Grow now .
Mhm . Right . I
gotta do it now . Yeah ,
the hotheads and rising tempers of
recruits need to be extinguished
properly because working as a team is
the only way to get through this
dreaded event . Pupil
sticks and body sparring offer a chance
to squash any feuds between the
recruits . So with Cuba , sticks are
gonna start off the first thing . You
gotta take care of that safety screen
myself . Are you Say mouthpiece ? All
you say grew up , throw all you say
Flat jacket . All you say hockey blows
all you say head throw . That's all the
trash you're going to have on your body
doing People stick , scream myself . So
for people sticks , we're gonna start
by coming in to ask to That's pretty
So the strikes are going through the
head and the body . Got it . That's
what I get .
Yeah . Finally . Yeah .
Keep going . Oh , I love it now . Yeah ,
keep your hand on .
So after the fight is over , I'm gonna
people winner and a loser And the
winner is gonna run out of the Marine
Corps . Happened here , move into the
walls of the building by the other .
Yeah , go . What ?
They're dying there the final night .
event is very similar to the battle of
Fallujah , with the exception that it's
done in reverse and in pitch black
darkness . Deal with it .
Okay . Okay .
Don't . Whatever you do . Don't guess
what . Yeah ,
yeah ,
yeah .
The molten metal is cooled . It's now a
perfect replica of what the metal
worker intended , but it still doesn't
have the strength it needs . There is
one final step . The metal is heated
one final time . The glowing red parts
are then moved to a pool of water and
dropped in this final quenching shot
cools the metal . Mhm .
Mm .
Well , you know ? Mm hmm . Mm .
Mhm for years . Mhm .
Thank you . In the movie .
Mm .
Mhm . Finally ,
it is finished .
Mhm .
Rise and shine . The recruits are up
well before the sun getting ready for
the final and longest hike of the
crucible
height . Probably the worst part . No ,
no . I was talking with my Beanie .
Has a little cold . I think I got face
paint increases . I didn't even know I
could have it in saying everywhere .
Yeah , Yeah ,
yeah .
All right .
Mhm . Yeah .
Hovers around are like ,
right on .
You're Jesse .
Everybody . Fire
spirits begin to rise as they pass
under the We Make Marine sign and the
parade deck comes into view .
Emotions run deep as their drill
instructors hand them the coveted eagle ,
globe and anchor on the parade deck .
Everything they have worked for over
the last three months has come down to
this moment . They are United
States Marines . The chill you felt as
the colors were race this morning was
the fusion of our core values into your
souls forever . You are now
the guardians entrusted to ensure oh ,
glory forever . But yeah ,
may God keep each one of you in the
palm of his hands . Separate Fidel's
Yeah .
