00:00.591 --> 00:03.258
(thunder rolls)

00:04.363 --> 00:06.136
- Sit up straight and look at me right now.

00:06.136 --> 00:07.533
- [Recruits] Aye, aye, sir!

00:07.533 --> 00:09.399
- My name is Staff Sergeant Dvorak

00:09.399 --> 00:11.681
and I am your Senior Drill Instructor.

00:11.681 --> 00:14.374
I am assisted in my duties by Drill Instructor

00:14.374 --> 00:18.291
Sergeant Ross, Drill Instructor Sergeant Garcia,

00:18.291 --> 00:21.052
and Drill Instructor Sergeant Bernhardt.

00:21.052 --> 00:24.289
Our mission is to train each and every one of you

00:24.289 --> 00:27.039
to become a United States Marine.

00:29.781 --> 00:31.235
^- Fourth Phase is the final two weeks

00:31.235 --> 00:33.510
^of recruit training after the Crucible.

00:33.510 --> 00:36.866
It's designed to give the Drill Instructors

00:36.866 --> 00:39.834
more time to demonstrate Marine-to-Marine mentorship

00:39.834 --> 00:41.873
and provide the recruits the opportunity

00:41.873 --> 00:45.540
to transition to their new roles as Marines.

00:48.587 --> 00:50.873
^- The new Marines during Fourth Phase

00:50.873 --> 00:53.139
^will learn how to act like Marines and take charge,

00:53.139 --> 00:56.451
take responsibility, and treat others as Marines.

00:56.451 --> 00:58.780
Fourth Phase they're given more responsibility,

00:58.780 --> 01:01.002
less supervision, and that gives them the time

01:01.002 --> 01:02.448
to adapt to that situation and

01:02.448 --> 01:06.448
start acting like a Marine instead of a recruit.

01:08.099 --> 01:10.829
- Recruit training will remain 13 weeks long.

01:10.829 --> 01:13.247
However some of the events have been reorganized

01:13.247 --> 01:15.733
to better suit a four-phase model.

01:15.733 --> 01:18.116
It's important to remember that none of the graduation

01:18.116 --> 01:21.227
requirements have been changed, lowered, or diminished.

01:21.227 --> 01:23.575
We will still be producing high-quality,

01:23.575 --> 01:27.742
basically-trained Marines in the four-phase model.

01:30.510 --> 01:32.458
The six Fs are the six functional areas

01:32.458 --> 01:33.938
of leadership development.

01:33.938 --> 01:36.885
They stand for fidelity, fighter, fitness,

01:36.885 --> 01:39.438
family, finance, and the future.

01:39.438 --> 01:41.816
They make up the framework of Marine leadership development.

01:41.816 --> 01:43.887
By addressing each of these individual areas

01:43.887 --> 01:45.949
in Fourth Phase, Marine leadership development

01:45.949 --> 01:48.417
seeks to ensure development of Marines

01:48.417 --> 01:50.693
and thus a Corps that is cohesive,

01:50.693 --> 01:52.455
tactically and technically proficient,

01:52.455 --> 01:54.075
and guided by moral purpose

01:54.075 --> 01:57.742
and able to execute the toughest challenges.

01:58.252 --> 02:00.812
