[@MrDickedy]

I used to work out with a few Marines at Sheppard AFB. Those guys couldn't move weight or flip a tire to save their lives....but they could run ALL day. Ran 3 miles with them and they just taunted me the whole time 😂 I suppose I deserved it, though. Oh, and for those in other branches who think the Marines are dumb, they're not. Some sharp individuals those Marines are. Takes a special person to do what they do. AF life is good, but I often regret missing out on the challenge and brotherhood of the USMC

[@blyatman7244]

@@MrDickedy "they could run ALL day" Yeah, they're abused pitbull on the leash so of course when they would love to run all day long when they were freed Sorry If i offend anybody but isn't that how USMC treats their Marines?

[@hagimeokoyashi7886]

67% Jesus christ. When I was in I passed no problem and I was 200lbs the first time I took it. The half mile sprint sucks especially in boots and utes, as did the MUF but the ammo cans was easy to pass and max

[@TheBeeseik]

@@hagimeokoyashi7886 This is because most POGs have time in their schedule and not as much slay in their morning PT so they hit the gym like bosses. Strength training is much more common on the outside.

lol I was wondering the same thing.

[@camperben]

Not many or they would have said something.....I'm sure some of their more fit gym guys might have done alright but most of the people I saw wouldn't Qual. It's a bit different too in full 782 gear Rifle, Ammo, MRE's Water, batteries etc etc.....these Airmen might as well have been wearing PT shorts. You can't say you passed a Combat Readiness test if you weren't carrying anything you would be in actual Combat....not even a Pot on their heads? Weak Sauce......

[@joeydohrmann5224]

***** The Combat Fitness Test is not done in full gear. It is done only in the utility uniform.

[@mariostacy5867]

CFTs suck. I rather run a PFT. I just ran both for screening and now i have to run it again at Corporals course. Exhausting.

[@U5MCcrwchf]

Mario Stacy Lol I'm the complete opposite. I'd rather put up with the two minutes of suck three times for a CFT than run 3 miles... but then again I despise running, even though I'm pretty fast.

[@guster489]

When I saw that man drop the ammo can, i felt a little twitch of "Done boi" cause you drop it you are done.

[@robertbecerra6684]

i hated doing this one in boot camp -.- it was hot as balls outside the day we did it! i did well if i remember correctly, and you knew you put out if u were literaly throwing up at the end (half of our company was after we finished). it sucked, but after i felt like anything left in my way was easy.... then came the crucible. semper fi

[@jvo0311]

Now they'd think they rate.

[@codyLIKESbaseball]

This is a great event. I think each branch should have their own version of this,

[@RedSon275]

Two things that come to mind when I see videos like this. 1. Branches need to stop bashing on each other. We’re all brothers in arms. We all stepped up and took our own unique route in the military field. To push and motivate ourselves to seek better. 2. Marines are the best though.

[@jakesmart6139]

The "bashing" that goes on between the various branches is just for kicks. When the u-no-what hits the fan there is a single unit.... we're called "AMERICANS"!

[@nicholaslobaido2143]

I'm 16 years old in Utah when I was able to the Marines that come to my school let me do the CFT and it was fun as hell

[@joshuahamby2199]

The shade 😎 “Whether running across under enemy fire, or running TOWARDS enemy fire as a MARINE”

[@scottyknows17]

respect to those airmen.. now they have a little taste of what it takes to be a marine

[@jakesmart6139]

Remember, the "size" of the training is important, BUT the useful application of that training is what really matters.

[@BushyX]

To some degree, yes they are done by other branches, but they are not done as well as the Air Force. For instance there is no branch that can strike anywhere in the world as quickly and with greater magnitude than the Air Force.

[@ApplesWhoDance]

Air Force has the machinery and the brains, the Marines have the muscle and leadership. If the two of them just stopped arguing for a second they'd realize that they could rain some hell upon our enemies together

[@famafamilyadventures2584]

They both have brains, they wont be in the military if they dont have brains. They all took the test...

[@supmofo7538]

Airforce has the brains? What do you base that assertion on? Inquiring jarheads want to know...

[@theairman6867]

I like to think of it like sibling rivalry. Just know you have to be part of the family to crack jokes. Because I wouldn't let anyone make fun of my brother or sister, the same goes for my fellow service men and women. Don't think you can be a civi and crack on any of the branches. We earned to right to lovingly make fun of each other because of our shared sacrifice.

[@billyquinn175]

[@DirtyShinjo]

If you think its a waste of mental capacity to lead Marines in a firefight, you deserve to stay where you are. There is nothing more challenging than to obtain fire superiority, kill the enemy, and bring all your Marines home safe. Keep your excuses to yourself.

the air force doesn't have the youngest guys and it's 3rd largest branch out of the five, not the smallest. You're right though, they're probably a little more selective on who gets in then say the army or navy. But with the military possibly downsizing soon it might be tough to get in any of them.

[@Drumzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]

Yo are we gonna have some marines trying to pass air force exams next

[@Tyrannosaurus_STFU_III]

You make it sound difficult... Sure.... You take and pass the CDI/QAR test for "I" level engine maintenance for J-52's/F-404's and get back to me.

[@Brewski_3-2]

Every week for me right now. Those ammo can lifts are fun.

[@sydneyACE]

I agree 100%. I was in the Air Force, and some of the guys I worked with were complete idiots. Unfortunately, in my experiences in the military, there was WAY too much of this stupid disputing between sister branches. I've met smart Airmen and I've met smart Marines. I've also met a lot of both who were stupid. The most frustrating was when we used to go party in Myrtle Beach, and constantly run-into young, drunk Marines (and sometimes other Airmen) trying to pick fights. Very sad.

[@USMC1984]

I am a firm believer that there should be one boot camp for all services then after boot camp they go on to their individual service training! I am a Marine who crossed over to AirForce Reserve as a Flight Medic. I can attest that the physical difference between these two services is huge!

[@Ps3COD4Fan]

I really hate all this Military branch hate... It's the military, every branch should be different, and have different prerequisites, if not what would be the purpose of different branches? People who say Marines > Army, Army < Marines, Airforce < Navy etc are wrong. Like it or not, every branch in the military relies on the other branches in order to succeed.

[@flyer97blink]

they all give eachother a hard time. That is just what they do. They aren't being serious most of the time.

[@camperben]

flyer97blink Every guy who joined the Air force out of High School (when we were joining the Marines) said the same thing...." they were afraid of the discipline, harsh treatment, etc". Most came right out and said I want a short, easy boot camp with no scary DI. So, while we acknowledge the wonderful contribution they make to the team (especially you A-10 Warthog guys....love you, and the PJs...and anyone who does close air support...much love)....but we are still gonna bust balls....and lets face it...they did join the Air Force so thats kinda asking for it.

Air Force basic traiing is the easiest in the military. They wouldn't last a week in Marine Corp Boot Camp.

[@markishbasedgod5251]

@@JeffSpehar-ov1cn I beg to differ, I know airmen that became marines and marines that became airmen. Also the attrition rate in marine boot camp is only 14%, still double the air force bmt attrition rate of 7%, but very low nonetheless. 14% attrition means only the biggest, goofiest fuck-ups drop out of boot camp. If you compare that to spec ops attrition rates, they are between 60-80% including air force para-rescue or combat control.

Right sere0321. CAS with the Marine Corps is something we have perfected since the 1930's. The Army Air Corps didn't start working with it until the outset of WWII. The biggest blow to CAS within the Marines came during the Korean War when Gen. Ridgeway took away Marine air assets and spread them for the other services (namely the Army). Air Force Sabres were mainly used for aerial combat and the bombing and strafing of railyards and factories in the North and China.

From my experience and viewpoint as an ex 0331 w the 5th Marines.
