The Few and The Proud - Red Band Marine Recruiting Video

[@UserNotFound-mw4hp]

If this was how my re-enlistment sit down went, id re-up

[@mommysquad9924]

basically how mine went hahahaa

[@byg803]

facts!

[@willycancel9494]

I love how the Staff Sergeant called the Sergeant sir lol.

[@sullivanlaramie2901]

I was (only) Public Affairs, but there was a lot of downward "yes sir" and "yes ma'am" around the office for simplicity. Started off as a lot of officers coming through and we didn't necessarily know the rank of someone who started talking to us from behind. Eventually it was just something we did even when we knew who was talking. The officers didn't seem to mind and our master sergeant started it, so it was just one of those things.

Makes sense. But that still sounds like some POG ass shit. And I was a fucking POG (1391 Bulk fueler).

[@crumply5959]

Marine corps recruiter senority are based off of time and service. I had a staff sargent in my marine corps recruiting station that was in charge despite there being a gunny recruiter.

Yeah what the fuck

This was actually a video made by Army Soldiers making fun of Marines.

+Andrew Serrano Really?

[@Snake_holiday]

I asked my recruiter about this video and he said they all watched this when they finished recruiter training. This is official recruiting material.

[@Generichjm]

At least that time 😂

[@humanvegetable]

The most realistic USMC recruiting video I have ever seen!

[@RobertMc0811]

I remember watching this 11 years ago and to this day I will randomly say, "MennnLowww" when people are around.

[@dylan-hv1vu]

Dude I do the exact same thing

[@dylan-hv1vu]

Bro. I do the same thing. That and the "don't mother fucking ask, don't mothering fucking tell"

I've really got to stop watching stuff like this at work. The maniacal laughter is scaring my co-workers. And to my fellow Marines who are watching this and feeling the urge to knife hand an idiot: Calm down, killers. It's humor.

This is an honest video though...Still enlisting...

[@commutingwithcato]

How it turn out?

[@brianthao102]

@commutingwithcato6619 funny enough, I ended up joining the Army once I heard the Marine Corps was getting rid of Tanks. I don't blame the Marines, I just wanted to be a tanker and the Army had the MOS open.

[@commutingwithcato]

@@brianthao102 thank you for the service. Yeah unfortunately the decision was made to cut Tanks from the Corps. That's a rabbit hole in itself. It was stated that we had to refocus into going back to amphibious roots. Which is valid, but I think it was just an excuse to cut funds where they want to. Meanwhile jet programs cost billions and lil ole Marine Corps can't have it's tanks. It's ok, one team one fight. Thank you again for your service.

[@Maxwell1379]

Happy Thanksgiving too man. Hope you find a good recruiter. Something you could always do as well, is a friend of mine was getting denied into the Navy so he just kept asking to talk to the next boss up, and the next boss up and finally had lunch with the Commanding Officer of the entire region, who subsequently put him in the Navy, just because of his dedication. Good luck brother.

[@gto745]

I showed my recruiter this video and he couldn't stop laughing lol he said he showed his whole family

[@shallowcoder1]

Sounds like the Hodgetwins

[@hunteraldridge5278]

[@Snipe4261]

What he said about danger is actually true. It's more dangerous to be anyone living in Washington DC than to be a US Marine in Afghanistan.

[@Masterchief117]

I wish my recruiters were like them :[ I would have signed up in a heartbeat!

[@easternWA12]

Lmao stfu no you wouldn't have

[@JakeDoesDaMcPe]

My recruiter posted this in a group chat on messenger😂 Im done.

[@hfbhbsxs]

I was told these guys where actually Army recruiters sharing the same building. They both ended up getting a court martial so I was told.

[@Money_Shot-j8u]

They were protesters with the political think tank, the Harding Group. They were against the BS wars and taking satirical approach at real recruiting tactics.

I can't stop laughing can you make it stop please omg

[@AGearHead4Life]

Would have been a LOT more funnier to Marines had they followed our regulations. I would list them, but i see others already have started a list. If you're not a Marine I don't expect you to understand the importance of these things. Spider Fi brothers.

[@HighMarshalBiggusDickus]

AGearHead4Life i do believe they made those mistakes on purpose, the E-6 being fucked up calling the E-5 sir made me laugh my ass off

Funny as a joke. But the day the Marines issue a recruiting video like this is the day John Basilone, Dan Daly, "Chesty" Puller, John Ripley, Evans Carlson, John Bolt and A. D. Olmos (to just name a few) all come back and set things straight.

[@valuecalc]

These two servicemen are super funny. I bet they have to put up with so much crap when they go to work. Making this wild video must have been a great way to ease the stress.

[@Saboguin]

[@indoorin]

@TheRockof90s Everyone is protected by SEALs and SF. But they are also protected by pilots and EOD techs. The pilots provide a lot of close air support (not as much as air force but still a bit) and the EOD techs do their thing with explosives.

[@Jackie_Sins]

I try doing about five more pull-ups to bring it up to 9 or 10 pull-ups, I got to about 8. I've been trying to run 3 miles in at least 20 minutes. Boot Camp also gets you in shape but it is more intense and more stressful than at home. I always try to simulate for my self what Boot Camp would be like, I've been getting up at 04:00 hours or 03:30 hours, and imagining a DI screaming in my face, but that is just dreaming, and it does not count if it's not the real deal.

[@rickysmithist]

Hey guys Im one of the actors in this short .I served my country proudly like most of you did 25 years ago..I can't remember every regulations ,phrase ,Salute and placement of medals.Some of you are too caught up on the details..I can recall my comrades in arms always having a great sense of humor.Hell you had to have some sort of sense of humor being around a bunch of men for weeks at a time or else you would go insane.I realize a lot of you are still active duty.,you aren't allowing yourselves to have fun.Its just satire ,so take the sticks outta your asses and enjoy the video in the spirit it was meant.AGAIN this comment isn't directed at everyone just those who don't wanna be silly and have a good time.I respect the uniform flag country and I wouldn't take knee at a football game.Ok I went too far.You guys can let me have it on the football comment.Make America great again

[@jarheadsemperfi1782]

It's a parody children for those of you who have never been in a real Marine Corps recruitment office,Notice how the one "Marine" has more Chevrons then we'll say the main guy yet he calls him sir.. "Sirs" are officers ones a Staff Sergeant the other is a Sergeant.

[@Raiderherm]

Love it! It's obviously not Marine certified but funny as hell!!! Good job!!!!

[@PartyPopperXD]

@IrishCoffee24 that has nothing to do with why he was calling him "Sir." it's aa billet and the sergeant probably had a higher billet than the staff sergeant. i was say the exact same thing while i was going through boot camp. my drill hat was a sergeant and my j-hat, and kill-hat were both staff sergeants and they both call him sir.

[@Jackie_Sins]

initial requirement for male recruits, I believe) I can do about four pull-ups. There are a lot of things I should work on though, and I know that the Marine Corp is aggressive and intense (DIs screaming in our faces and our ears, 30 second to do this, 40 seconds to do that, 20 seconds, "Do it now!" We have to match the senior DI's speed.) I know that I can be a Marine and I would just like a chance to do so.

[@ejg44]

1:35 best part😂😂

[@Sharkformer]

I'm 17 and just got my PC for my recruiter. I just waiting to go down to the New Orleans MEPS facility

[@d73freeman]

If they were on guard duty. You ever see a recruiter sitting at his desk with his hat on?

[@Jackie_Sins]

I might need to find a partner to hold my feet down or try to place them underneath my crouch to keep me from lifting them up. When 2 minutes pass, I'm done and I record my reps, the first one on the first day I started was about 45 crunches, the second rep in the same day was about 48(waiting 5 mins between each rep) The second day on the first rep, I finaly got to 51 crunches, the second rep was 59. Keep trying to do them as fast as I could and i'm now doing 66 crunches in 2 mins-->>

[@MisfitMafiaPB]

You like guns? (Damn straight you do) Big boats (Ships) Big guns (Cannons) that shit was funny as hell

[@faithofjudas]

@Exmarinechick84 The "staff sergeant" also calls the "sergeant" sir.

[@Jackie_Sins]

If you gained U.S. citizenship then yes. From what I heard people can join at 17 years old with their parents permission, but when they are 18 they can join with their own concent. However if you are older than 18 or something like that, then you can just join. There are a lot other background checks you have to go through, but if they ask you question that are too personal well, don't ask, don't tell.

[@AcypressRN]

Baby when I tell you this was the reason I took my ass to parris island on 21 September, 2009 I mean that!!! SN: I’m still looking for that SGT in 2022!!!

[@byg803]

The video that sold me 😂😂😂 in high school

[@oO1c3mAnOo]

you can tell this is not real because the staff sergeant calls the sergeant "sir". (lower rank and only officers are called sir.)

[@TheRockof90s]

@indoorin Protected and helped are different. and SEALs and SF Dont protect anyone, in fact, if a small SEAL team needs help its an infantry unit they call not the other way around, no Marines are gonna say "get the SEALs here we need help" SEALs are utilized for special missions not ground combat. Also, Marines have MARSOC which in 10 years could be better than SEALs *started under a decade ago. Marine Recon as well is Special operations

[@dubiehouser]

Menlo!!! Anyone in the service knows this isnt accurate. Jus enjoy the damn video! Its HILARIOUS!!

[@kristianthomas8314]

This is what the fuck I signed up for damnit!!

[@JarheadxPride]

You understand that act of valor is based on true events. and marines and midshipmen alike can get recommended to become seals. you dont just join the seals. so it doesnt matter if their training is longer that a marines training because you already had to of been in the Corps or been in the Navy to become one

@Exmarinechick84 yea the crtiticism go forever, its "semper FI" (short for fidelis) not "semer FY" its oorah not hooah, nameplates are suppose on their right chest pocket tab, covers (or hats) are to be taken off when indoors, profanity is considered unprofessional to civilians, hair was too long etc etc etc. but this was an intentional spoof if you didn't know. way to have a sense of humor. on top of all the bs they made up, the appearances and such were part of the "joke" in this spoof.
