Why are you guys hating on the u.s marine corps? The u.s marines work hard and hard every single day. The marines help you become a real man,they show you how to use self defense, to never give up,to gain and show respect, being proud to sacrifice your self to your country. Don't hate, be proud.while we are sitting down In bed and feeling lazy,the u.s marines are working hard stressing out and getting badly injured. but guess what their proud. When they come out the u.s marine corps, they can look back and say,wow! I was a u.s marine, I worked my self to my limit, but I became a real man!

[@Sonni8089]

Thank you to all the Soldiers who serve the U.S. God Bless You!!

[@dominictilsen5726]

Im going to enlist in the finest branch the marine corps to follow my grandpas footsteps

[@XXTOBAD4HELLXX]

Osman Six they're their own branch I suggest you look it up instead of thinking you know everything. They're a department of the navy but they're their own separate branch it was that way since 1789

[@dominictilsen5726]

intetesting

[@XXTOBAD4HELLXX]

Osman Six oh I guess you finally understand now.

[@dominictilsen5726]

true

[@zonnieharper7645]

Graham Holloway The Marine Corps and The Navy are two separate branches, under the Department of the Navy. You don't go to the Navy and say hey I would like to join the Marine Corps can you give me information.

[@bluemon30]

Im 15 and ever since i was little ive wanted to join the United States Marine. My uncle served in Iraq for 6 years and hes inspired me to become a part of the few and the proud. In two years im goin to DEP in. I want to attempt Recon training after boot. Thank you to all the men and women who serve in our armed forces, i love you all God bless.

[@mikejones-ve5kr]

only the bravest and strongest can become a U.S MARINE !!!

[@Primer9]

more like the stupidest and the most brainwashed xD

[@Mik3yDatBoi]

Im a Sergeant in the Corps. And to be honest I love it. When your a low rank beware because your salary is going to be dog shit. My salary is $25,200. Not much. Oo-Rah!

[@Primer9]

you accentuate the problem right away, this isnt even about the money sergeant slaughter, this goes much more deeper than the money.... war is the evilness in this world, why are oblivious americans like yourself contributing to this horrible illusion, i dont get it..... terrorism is a joke so they can keep propelling fear upon citizens and keep everyone in the matrix, if you are proud to be on the evil side then i feel sorry for you

[@bensdadfrank]

Usdiuadn Njsknadk enjoy the freedom to say that. courtesy of the armed forces of the free world. epecially the United States Marine Corps.

[@Mik3yDatBoi]

Us Evil? Everybody is evil, humanity is evil.

[@abajee28]

BIG RESPECT to the Marines and all the Forces out there! You're doing a great job!

[@hnnjo5]

My grand son reported to mcrd san diego this am for boot camp--- i am so very proud of him--- his dad was in the corps and fought in golf war 1 -- it changed him a lot

[@xmarine521]

the DI's begin to treat the recruit better the further along in training, by the time you graduate, you are one of them.

[@davidpersons5129]

hey i remember when i was your age thinking the same thing, keep coming at life with this perspective, you cant go anywhere in life without trying. keep it real, Oorah

[@commander675]

You know what I like about the Marine Corps? The fact that they don't need to be a part of an organization like the airborne, rangers, or whatever to be tough. Marines are already made to be tough.

[@NJHpro]

I have been to Paris Island and i had the honor to watch this happen i didn't think how hard they work to be in the Corps then, but i slowly started to realize how hard this course really is.

[@CrimsonUltrafox]

People would be surprised how many foreign people we had when I went to boot camp. We had guys from Brazil, Germany, Philippines, South Korea, Russia, and all sorts of other countries. Say what you want about the U.S. but we have a damn good military. It's hard to describe the feeling of what it means to be so close to people you barely know. The kinship is one of the best things you can find in any kind of organization.

[@Wolfe1661]

Basic training is a conditioning phase, it is not brainwashing. It is meant to prepare a recuit for the environment in which he/she is expected to serve: fast, loud, reactive, stressful and anxious. "Every Marine is a Rifleman" means whatever occupational specialty a Marine holds, he/she can still be employed as a security/defense element in a hostile situation. Physicality is crucial because it conditions thinking under extreme circumstances.

[@13r4m]

i keep watching these over and over....

[@GRAVESHERO]

im 13 and i am making my decision to hopefully become one of these admirable and honorable men if i do make it through training when i get to sign up i will be so proud because i get to serve with these men OORAH

[@chavezlaw78]

i wanna be a SEAL but i truly respect these guys

[@Wolfe1661]

There is an academic evaluation in the form of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery to determine the enlistment qualifications for service men and women into the Armed Forces. Each specific field within the USMC (as well as USAF, USN, USA, USCG, etc.) requires a certain level of competency in various fields in order to be considered. The ASVAB generates a brief view of the recruits ability in all fields. The USMC has standards, and you must meet them if you wish to become a Marine.

[@bigredmatt13]

I plan on it and already am training and lifting weights. I forced my self to join football and track and this is my 3rd year playing these sports and while all my friends quit playing sports with me I still train by myself prepping for Corps.

[@OzIsOnCloudNine]

I'm enlisting soon, just graduated high school. I want to follow in the footsteps of my grandfather who fought in WW2 and the Korean War.

[@7051marine]

Wow, they are being so nice to the recruts on these films.

[@RECONxxxMARINE]

Hopefully bootcamp won't be as much as a problem for me. I am 15 and I work hard physically and academically. My father was a sailor in the U.S Navy, so I know my fair share of verbal abuse. I've won a perseverance award for showing outstanding commitment and determination whilst overcoming an obstacle in an obstacle course. I'm a quick and adaptive learner. I've taken Martial Arts. I also plan on participating in the Young Marines program. I hope to join the Corps after College, as an enlisted.

[@wolf363]

They may all give you a hard time every now and then, but it is important to remember that the DIs actually do want you to succeed.

[@slicknsharp]

let the haters hate.....they only do it because they can't do what we do....I am a former Marine and I loved every minute of the years I was in.....Semper Fi!!!!

[@Keadil]

@MrMichaelnoel That hat is worn by shooting coaches. They are not PMI's (primary marksmanship instructors). PMI's are the guys in the green jackets and are experts in marksmanship that give initial and extra help when needed on marksmanship. The coaches are able to qualify as rifle experts and very skilled marksmen, but nowhere near the skill of a PMI. These coaches help you to improve your marksmanship and also verify that you have no live rounds left after the firing session ends.

[@BOBMARLYRULZdontwory]

i was a born marine! i live, breath, eat and sleep the marines! i have been training since 8 years old, i will one day be a Marine and serve my country in whatever way i am assigned. when i am old enough i will become a United States Marine! no matter the cost! I am am MARINE!!!

[@Easyystride]

I'm a Poolee and already on my toes with impatience to go. I'm ready to earn the title of a U.S. Marine

[@Tim102024]

can not wait to join. been committed for many years now and can't for my dreams to come true. OORAH!

[@BWIENS789]

U.S. Marines do recieve about 13 weeks of basic but there is also specialized training like desert combat for example. You are right though, the Royal Dutch Marines do have the longest basic.

[@JMARTIN1947]

I graduated from one of the best universities in America, then completed two law degrees. I practiced law for over thirty years and made millions of dollars. I own a beautiful house and a stable of cars. My success will never be complete, however, because I was never a Marine. God Bless the Corps.

[@pipenasty85]

i take my asvab tomorrow and this motivates me so much i cant explain!!

[@michaeltierney5928]

Just got done MEPS yesterday I signed 6 years active duty... Cant wait...

[@brthevio]

The Marine Corps trains from three different ranges on the rifle range. 200 yards, 300 yards and 500 yards. Mind you all of this is with open sights, no scopes.

[@Jelvferr]

i hope you realize that this is just a sneak-peek of what really happens during training, when you're actually there going through the marine corp training its far different than anything you could witness.

[@jwaffles011]

thank you marines for your service i cant wait till i join

[@cody1902guy]

these marine instructors seam nicer than most marine instructors.

[@1kanyeeast]

@TheSparkyG they learn many skills as Rangerleadtheway44 stated but most importantly Marines and other service members learn intangible skills that will help them throughout life. They learn a level of discipline that many people in the civillian sector will never be able to achieve, they learn the ability to work as a team, and many more intangible skills. With the traits they learned in the Service they can do anything they set their minds too.

[@Wolfe1661]

Furthermore, USMC Basic Training halts counter-productive reactions from a future-Marine: reluctance, hesitation, panic, anxiety, mutiny, and improvisation (up to a certain point). Also, the USMC PREFERS a high school diploma over a GED because it denotes that the recruit has attended a public institution, garnering previous social interaction and must have retained forms of "common sense". Each recruit is systematically "interviewed" by all personnel for signs of distress and negligence.

[@wingspan20]

i think these men are outstanding!!!! amazing stuff

[@agsmallticket]

I respect the US Military so much especially the US marine corps im planning to join soon

[@TheGreekPianist]

@Ring2tapout Ohh. You know how I found out I wanted to be a Marine? I'll never forget it: when I was about 12 I was at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quanico, VA, and as I looked around at the history and the life of what these men had, I realized I then wanted to be one of them and it was my calling. Ever since then, it's always been in my heart. Some people who I told this to said I may change my mind about it by the time I am elligible, but I know that will never happen :)

[@elementaladmin123]

Thumbs up if you got seriously motivated when that DI came in and said "This is a physical training event!"

[@Defund_HOA.]

I love how you compare a 5 minute video to a 13 week training period.

[@IMaHappYQuab]

@MrChach1ng The Marines use classic pieces of engineering, like the fine M16A2 and M60 MMG. Old dosen't always equal bad. But yes, they usually have older guns. M4 is basically a lighter M16 anyway.

[@RipFlm]

No Military Service is better than the other, they are both fighting for the same purpose, our freedom, none should be looked down upon.

[@Krug4720]

Thats what makes our military the best, every branch specializes in generaly one spot.. if all our mility branch was in the airforce, marines, or the navy we wouldnt be as good as we are..

[@25DEVILpup]

@96wr the smartest thing you can do is talk to a recruiter first off...tell him your situation... you wont leave for bootcamp for at least 4 moths... i enlisted in sept. and dont leave till march you can get in shape in that time period...the mental thing is all up to you though

[@DGKALLDAY84]

I'm excited, in 4 year I'm joining, I'm almost 14 now and I've decided I'm joining after I get out of High School

[@guesswhatiedit]

ever since i was small ive always wanted to be a marine im sixteen now i know training is going to suck but im going to do it.

[@TheBritsRULEok]

difference between british and USA training, USA have way more recruits per intake, everything is faster and well oiled in order to get all the recruits through each stage in training, the british army has less so it can be done in more detail, which most will say makes for better training.

[@pjcat2001]

@VolcastPerfection be all of the above; scared, andry, and proud. Make sure, though, that you only ever tell about the being proud. They never need to know about the others. They have enough to deal with.

[@amrmohamed84]

that's the boot camp guys , lets give them a chance , it's a nice life style , i was in the army myself the Egyptian armed forces , i had days were i stood still for 18 hours no food no drink , i never underestimate a marine or seal for that matter fact

[@spartanruler1]

@1995VATO yes, theyre the most elite baranch of military, they combine infantry, navy, and air force

[@AmberMillayMetz]

Confidence course is the favorite, but this video doesn't do it justice.

[@Ascenscion123]

@TheFederalHack You are taught to shoot up to 500 yrds with Iron Sights in Boot.In Infantry School you will get issued an RCO(ACOG which is the corps main rifle optic)and you are taught to shoot with that along with many ranges of optics.You are taught to use all wisely.An ACOG is a great optic it is tritium and dosent run on batteries and will last for years,it's great for a clear hd looking field of view great target identification and reticles(chevron)

[@Wolfe1661]

USMC Basic Training IS the EASIEST training you will receive in the Marine Corps. When you start : you will miss what you had, hate what you have, and wish for the end to come. When you finish : you will hate what you had, love what you have, and wish for more to come.

[@James2011Marine117]

I leave on the 8th for Boot Camp. Hopefully by watching this I would learn my "Dos and Donts".

[@Zerofire77]

@vonVince Yelling helps the recruits deal with the stress that combat brings. A firefight is loud, dangerous and messy. Drill instructors want to instill that in their recruits.

[@Hag3upaTeJIb]

Understand. In the conditions of scale war with participation for example 10 тыс the person from both parties all technological devices are useless. All solves: the excellent commander, the reliable weapon, psychological preparation and accuracy of shooting. And electronic features only prevent to be at war in fierce fight.

[@tomgaita9176]

Those obstacle courses look fun

[@THE3NEGOTIATOR]

u have the greatest name in all of youtube

[@runhorun]

@AGummyCat They were apart of the navy in wwII. They later branched off but were still apart of the Navy. Marines use navy terminology. I should know, I am a veteran. The captain of the ship is over the all apointed sailors and marines when going out to sea. The pilots always follows the captains orders. Being on the USS NASSAU I saw marines on deployment along witht he sailors.

[@mrgamerbro1]

i'm 12 years old and i'm positive i am joining the u.s marines straight out of high school.

[@arewhyayeenn]

i love how when they start using live rounds suddenly everybody speaks as calmly as possible.. and then the next week it's back to screaming again lol.

[@232ultra]

They are M16 A-2 rifles but they still use m-4 carbines in Afghanistan, naturally ak-47's with their 7.62mm ammo will be more accurate at long range than the m16/4's 5.56mm nato rounds more mass = more down range accuracy.

[@sjomada]

it seems even though marine bootcamp is more intense and longer...... the D.I.'s are nice with the recruits.

[@francoavila33]

I am almost sure that you have to provide as soon as you try to enlist, I have never heard of them helping out to get a GED. They are very strict now a days and I know for a fact that the GED has to be College approved. I was enlisted from 2000-2004, Good luck with everything!

[@KermitDaGrung]

I'm 13 and I have always had a feeling to join the marines. I will join when I come to age of 18

[@t74nk]

From the east to the west marines is the best

[@DUBSTEBnumber2]

i started to think about the marines when i was 13 to im only 15 now but i cant wait to become of age and join the corps

[@728harsh]

dude just go for it my family doesn't support me going to the military except for my mom and she really doesnt care what i do with my life. she only cares if im happy then she is. and really i have no idea what i want to do join the navy and do nothing or join the marines and go out into the front lines and fight. but you know what to do and you should go for it

[@SEbeastmode]

Just make sure you do your research on everything before even going to talk to a recruiter, a recruiter will tell you anything and everything to get you to join or take a position he needs field.

[@crazyazn171]

im only a army regular rifleman watching the yanks train is awsome

[@Sara-L]

I don't care what anyone says: If you weren't the one getting yelled at by a DI, if you weren't the one baking in 120 degree weather while hiking through endless sand dunes, watching your friends get blown away by landmines, and waking up each morning to the sound of mortar rounds, you have no grounds talking smack about any branch of service in any country.

[@ameripenguin]

The USMC definitely has the best recruit training but what happens afterward? Marines shoot alot more than POG soldiers, but infantry marines shoot a fraction of what infantry soldiers shoot. The Army sends its soldiers to three times the amount of collective training before a deployment. Same with aviation marines, they fly the oldest planes for the least amount of time compared to the Air Force and Navy. But ends up happening is they get always be number 2 where ever they are.

[@ryox720]

Can't wait for Boot Camp!

[@Muhlriahn]

07 Apr - 03 Jul 2008. 3rd Battalion, Quebec Company, Platoons 3048, 49, 50, 52, 53, 54. Oorah, Marines!

[@oakmeal53]

these are not drill instructors. they are PMI's - basically marksmanship instructors.

[@rabsmiff]

A good soldier is one who simply obeys orders, whether the actions are morally sound or depraved atrocites: end of story.

[@cyberdaemon]

Dude at 3:07 has the voice of Maximus Aurelius Decimus! Irony is also in fact, that Roman Legion was elite unit of a Roman army, much like Marine core is to US army. Another irony is, that ANY Roman citizen could join the Legion, regardless of its skin color. You had to be citizen and fit for the service. Lots of similarities between the two.

[@Poake]

Women do not have the same training as men in the USMC Basic Training. In the Receiving Period, to pass the IST, women must do a 1.5mile run in 15 minutes, perform a flex-arm hang of 12 seconds, and do 44 crunches in 2 minutes. While Men must run a 1.5mile in 13.5minutes, do 2 dead-hang pull ups, but must also do 44 crunches in 2 minutes to pass the IST. The yelling and all that is equivalent, but in a more female-oriented sense. Please don't take this offensively, just stating facts.

[@1DirtbikeBoy]

i love how at 4:11 The marine shouted Marine Corp wen he dropped

[@SoundOfDnB]

@MrChach1ng the m16 has been updated and updated, the USMC now uses the M16A4 variant, designed for modern combat :)

[@CLTivruski]

@CommandoQB4 I salute you! Good luck with basic and I pray you make it. I also plan on joining the USMC right out of high school so yeah I'm pretty pysched. Hoorah

[@Ironmaidenwantu4ded]

I met someone today who actually thought he had what it takes to be a marine because he went 75-14 inCoD. Sadly he fails to understand that you won't ever get 14 deaths.

[@rio_mn]

To me, the most prestigious title would be USMC Sniper. I'm thinking of enlisting too. Be a damn good way to pay for my college.

[@bigredmatt13]

In football they make us play a second sport and sophomore year I joined track to get faster cause in my position I needed to get faster and well I started to notice my friends that took power lifting got a lot stronger than me and now I want to gain more muscle and I already run sort off fast and dont you need to carry weights around when you run in the marines.

[@TheUSMarine5]

Your badly mistaken. They show the fun things of boot camp in this video series. They don't show daily PT or the Cruciable.

[@imanoob4]

san deigo was harder because theres more things you got to do during the crucible like hiking 60 miles in a couple days but atleast its warmer in san deigo.

[@ProSprintR]

@ebtricks you are quaint and coy at the same time but your logic definitely inveigled me. You have a point

[@socialNrocker]

Buddy, I've served as a Ranger, and not to diss the marines at all, I respect them, got some friends who are marines, but you must have served with some terrible Rangers, because the unit I was in was pretty elite.

[@vanhalenman60]

i swear most marines must be from city areas, i live in the mountains and these obsticle courses are things i would love to do for fun

[@S3raph02]

I'm Marine Corps Infantry. I have been for four years now. Don't get me wrong, we're tough. But, we're not tougher than the SEAL's. We are however way tougher than anything the Army has. Well, not Delta. Delta are better than SEAL's. But, I've served with Rangers, and believe me, they are terrible. Marines are hardcore though. I guarantee you'd be more afraid of a ton of Marines than a ton of soldiers.

[@ZAC2994]

@Nemesis5215 most arent because not every army soldier is a qualified expert rifleman but every US marine is.

[@RECONxxxMARINE]

@IMaHappYQuab No I haven't read the book, but will look for it at my library. I plan on attenting a college in VA, and earn a bachealors degree, then enlist. Once in enlistment I will devote myself into earning as high as I can in rank, until I can send a referal to be approved into officer ranks. I want to enlist to experience first-hand what field Marines go through, and gain real knowledge, then move into officer ranks and command troops properly and effectively. Fight smarter, not harder.

[@1NTERN3TA55H0l3]

without competiveness in the military we'd have nothing to make them try to out do the other branch it makes for a better army but if it comes down to it they are all in a war together

[@pepsidude185]

I seem to remember being screamed at a lot more than they show. Also, I remember never being able to talk to DI's in normal volume voices like they show here. We ALWAYS had to scream (even when i had my wisdom teeth removed... they made me scream until the stitches ripped out)

[@asdfyoh1]

So this is how it looks like in US Marine Basic Course. Actually if you guys know how the Philippine Marines train it will make hell out of yah.Coz i noticed in this video that the USM have all the equipments(gloves to mouth piece,kevlar and socks) PM dont have that,and d USM have good barracks.PM just sleep outside all the time with no blanket,if you sleep in the barracks its makes no difference coz the bunks are damaged and have many holes,you can actually feel the cold breeze at night

[@lionsonlyboxing8093]

It all make sense now. Bravo nation..

[@lolwut237]

haha dude, i start training for the Royal marines on the 8th of feb! Both going marines, just different countries - luckily we're both allies. Good luck dude
