U.S Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon - Behind the Scenes

[@BestAuntieEver]

I think a lot of people don't understand what this really is. This is the epitome of discipline and it's freakin awesome as hell!

[@TGOIIHome]

Perfection at this level is earned only through unyeilding dedication

[@laurdessvalentino5849]

and this folks is what badass looks like

[@TheByrd8992]

I love how the rifles clasp to every step i love the marines and what they do their performances are always awesome...even out of uniform

[@Locutus494]

Enjoy watching them and the Commandant's Own practice when they're here every spring, but hate that they take the chow hall parking lot to practice in, LOL!

[@gmoney9068]

I love how the use of the metronome helps them keep time and stay in step. Semper Fi, Marines.

[@alangarrison1143]

thanks for posting this. I find it interesting that they recite the counts when learning their routine

[@Juliet1106Tango]

It helps drive home the movements when they do it publicly

[@sorryoutlandish]

I do artistic colorguard, which was actually derived from this and military colorguards. The count reciting is just to drill down the actions. Reciting them helps get down tempo and accurate counts

[@longiusaescius2537]

@Kennedy Russell huh

[@kholstein64]

Never realized just how much went into yalls performance!! Very cool video

[@andyzwz]

[@SgtRock57]

Hats off to these warriors. Totally AWESOMETACULAR!!

[@johnxaviere]

Damn these guys are awesome.

[@islander790]

Are those issued Converse!?

[@stevefowler1787]

Yepper...issued due to being very close to the same feel as flat leather issued marching/dress shoes...a U.S. Marine vet....That would make a great Converse commercial.

[@mikedickerson7535]

steve Fowler wow, thats awesome

[@lafayettetyger8467]

Our Converse are not issued, we have to buy them. I wish though it would've saved me a few dollars

[@gundisassemblykid6506]

Why converse though, whats special about them?

[@michaelz7683]

GunDisassemblyKid the style is very similar to the marine corps Oxfords they wear in dress blues

[@elainemiller145]

Check out the videos of the American military and police force use of Belgium Malanois! Incredible!

[@elimumm1973]

I love the shirts

[@andrewskokna9760]

As a former Marine I may be prejudiced in saying this but we are definitely the best real team in the world nice try army Air Force and navy but damn we're good

[@NathanielDumas]

[@Ilaya593]

Amazing! Notice metronome velcored on ankle (?) and missing bayonet on hand-polished 10.5 pounds (4.8 kg) M1 Garand rifle in 0.27. Semper Fi! Hooah!

[@lafayettetyger8467]

16 hours, 7 days a week while we are in Yuma AZ

[@smellmyclock]

[e-mail] you have to be a certain height, good looking, and pass the first month of ITB. They are like advertisement marines lol, so Ye they have standards. That said they might be "infantry" but they're pog and af lol

[@benjaminharrison3079]

Why chuck Taylors?

[@moserr11]

What are they doing this for? Good Question. It is a necessary function for all inspecting officers to determine the battle readiness of their troops. As it evolved the soldier/marine would show that officer that he had a clean weapon. Now the really good part is when the inspecting officer gets the weapon and shows what HE/SHE can do with that weapon. All the movements in this drill are combat deployments. So, no, this isn't just a show.

[@eliyahuohiyon7461]

It is just a show. None of these drill movements are applicable to combat. It isn't the eighteenth century anymore. This unit is a non combat arms unit. It's literally specifically only for show. Not everyone in the military sees combat, like at least 80% of the military does not see combat.

[@christinekooistra5015]

Any drill movement made is used on the battlefield.​@@eliyahuohiyon7461

[@Thinpizzacrust]

Why do they all have converse I would have everyone in some Jordan's 😂

[@Mo-LoveInDaWorld]

joshua dodson the reason they are all wearing converse is because there flat like a USMC dress shoes it helps them get used to wearing more flat shoes

[@Tubefactory1]

I guess they prove, skills is never about the shoes, but the hard work and dedication the individual put into it.

[@joshuarios941]
