U.S. Marine Barracks Tour| Camp Lejeune, NC| Marine Life

[@septiawoman2911]

My father was a Marine. He was strict on us (he and my mother had five girls) but gave us life lessons that we all keep to this day. I have MUCH respect for the Marine corps.

[@jacobtaylor161]

Mine too! I’m so thankful for him. I always thought he was an asshole until I’ve gotten older and I’m so thankful. I was born at Camp Legeune and lived there for a while so it’s cool to see it again. I haven’t been up there in years and years lol

[@jrfan912]

He wasn't a Marine...he IS a Marine. Once a Marine, Always a Marine! I was stationed here back in '98-''02 in the French Creek area...barracks FC560. It's absolutely amazing how things have changed in 22 years! Oohrahh!

[@EarsBeEazy]

A good portion of us were moved into those newer barracks but a lot of us including myself remained in the old black mold barracks due to limited spacing. Those of you who got the 4 star hotel experience were extremely blessed

[@AFRO_KEEN]

It used to go by rank.

[@scottkaczor2065]

Black mold builds character.

[@MrBrentg3]

What area had barracks with black mold? Something has me guessing French Creek area. I lived in the 8th Comm barracks in 95-97.

[@0369DevilDawg]

Wow! I was stationed at Camp Lejeune back in 1967 - '68. Then from 1969 (returned from Nam) to 1972. While writing this I heard you call a rack a bed and the head a bathroom 😂 I am happy the barracks we had back in the 60's in the 2nd Marines and 8th Marines area are now BEQs. As a former Company Gunny I was thinking of a Field Days and the Skippers Friday Inspection. Oh, you said closet. I yelled closet! I would have called it a locker. Did you say dumpster instead of shit can 😂 All jokes aside, I am very happy our Marines are living good. Good job Marine. Semper Fi

[@Snuffy03]

Semoer Fi brother. Dude in the video can't be a Marine. Doesn't know the terminology. Sissy hair. Sissy earring. Sissy little mustache. I never saw a Marine like that. Not even at LeJeune. I got sent to Le Jeune from Okinawa. Immediately volunteered for a Med cruise. When we got back, I applied for transfer back to 3rd Division. Which was easy to get as no one wanted to go to The Rock. Damn, I hated LeJeune.

[@ShayBabez22]

This was my old barracks when I was stationed on Lejeune. We were actually the first ones to move into it back in 2016 when it was finished being furnished. Exceptionally better compared to our old barracks in French Creek.

[@usmarine2100]

I lived on c street on lejuene we got a upgrade to our barracks while away on deployment so was nice to go back to no black mold

[@mofo7689]

I was at FC in the 1980s. The open squad bays had transitioned to rooms. The FC fitness center was a house full of gym equipment. Now it is a fully blown facility where you can walk everywhere as a POV is a luxury. Your home is not a barracks, it is now a college dorm.

[@mikeydiggs4797]

Why do marines have long hair and look like pussies now?

[@drobichaud1000]

I was at FC in '77 they hadn't been working on it long. 8th engineers. All there was was 2 chow halls, amory, a small enlisted club, px. The barracks were rooms, but the old style. The ac never worked.

[@sgtjarhead99]

Amazed at how nice the enlisted barracks are now. About time.

[@karlar8648]

No kidding. No cold air coming through the door. No concrete walls. And a fridge that can hold more than you. No more waiting to take a crap. Pool tables that CAN be used. Best part is that they smile more.

At Camp Pendleton my barracks were built pre-WWII, two story wooden structures with open squad bays.

After all my son is just a 0311 designated marks man who takes out high valued targets. Sorry if I sound salty but the first time I visited I was stunned. I thought your building was a hotel!!! He's in the barracks across from the the chicken shack (chow hall) he's on his first MEU but I guess he will be back in the crap room when he comes back. He does not complain and he love living with his brothers. One thing I have noticed is grunts have a strong sense of brotherhood. And have each other's back 100%

Years ago, my fellow Marine said grunts were on the go 24/7, day and night. I kind of doubt they hardly use the barracks. We made the best memories out of those old barracks especially waiting for a washing machine; only 3 for each floor.😫 We never ever had breakfast. That was unheard of until the 1990's in Courthouse Bay, Camp Lejeune, NC when Marines complained and were heard.

Part of the barracks experience is hanging out on the cat walks. Your son is lucky. These new Marines will never know the experience. I lived in the old ones with the catwalks. Many great times hanging out on them.

[@theunknown4570]

The catwalks were where all of the action were when off duty or weekends. It was the scuttlebutt, the horse play, the music, the grilling, the hanging your clothes off of the side to dry or boots out by the door the walking back and forth in between others rooms. The Clutter of furniture left out during field day And just letting off steam in general

[@mumbulog]

I was with 8th and 6th Marines at Camp Geiger. We still had open squad bays. I worked in the comm center, half the time at night (as it never closes), only to come back in the morning to a noisy barracks where you could barely get any sleep. The heads outside the comm center were so old. There was like 20 toilets and urinal tubs out in the open with no privacy at all. They started to upgrade everything just as I was getting out.

[@mofo7689]

I was stuck on Geiger for about 2 years. The school cadre often tried to pull crap until our MGySgt told the school to leave the personnel of other units ALONE. We were in the back street of Geiger as it headed toward New River Air Station.

Jesus! What a great barracks. Was stationed at Camp Lejeune in 1965 with 6th Marines 3/6. Our living accommodations consisted of squad bays with bunk beds with a double wall lockers in between. No privacy at all. Communal bath rooms,eight “shitters” side by side with. Nothing like trying to take a dump with someone doing the same thing less that two feet from you with no partition between you. One big shower with maybe a dozen shower heads. Maybe 60 Jarheads per squad bay. Only E-6 and above had a small room. On payday nites we would take the “vomit comet”, the last bus back from JVille back to Lejuene and wake up the whole squad bay turning on the lites and and raising hell. What great freaking memories.

It’s good to see these great improvements being provided for our Marines. They are well deserved and should be the normal standard on every USMC base. I would hate to tell you how bad the living conditions were for enlisted Marines back when I served in 1968 thru 1974. Old Wooden squad bays, crowded with lines of metal bunk beds, flat soiled mattresses, no pillows, rusted & broken metal lockers, cold in the winter, hot in the summer, highlighted by gang toilets and showers that were WW2 vintage and difficult to keep clean…….how in the hell do you clean & polish a turd. Good old Corps.

[@hudsondonnell444]

When I was in you might get one or two wall lockers. The beds were metal bunkbeds. You would have anywhere from two to four marines to a barracks room, and desks were not provided.

I like those racks, though, back in the day the Navy would have had those while we had the metal frame racks with lumpy mattresses. Looks like things have gotten better.

Did you know a kid named Dacey from Flemington NJ?

@@dorothyburry42 No I did not. Sorry.

[@dorothyburry42]

Did you know a corporal named Grimes?

[@Leatherneck1057]

@@dorothyburry42 That name seems familiar but he wasn’t in my platoon and I didn’t know him. Second battalion shared a mess hall and their barracks were in close proximity so that may be why it seems familiar.

The U.S. Military and the Corps as part of it have changed a lot. Man! Those barracks would be BOQs when I was in. I slept in a lot of open squad bays. Then BBQs on and off. Lots of room, creature comforts personality, and individuality. That's not a bad thing to a point. I think it's a good thing more than anything. Marines have to grow up and be adults in their personal lives also.

[@grizUSMC0331]

Definitely not what I had when I was on lejuene we had two racks alittle ass fridge two wall lockers and a shared head with two rooms air never worked in summer and no heat in the winter LMAO ... Semper Fl brother

[@charlesmarshall3908]

Had to come back to this video since I'm going to Lejune at the end of this month

[@georgethompson5459]

I joined in 1976 in my 17 years I never had or seen barracks like that before, we open squad bays and than we had 3 man rooms, even the common area was that great.

[@davidwagenblast5717]

other than the roommate part this actually looks nicer than air force dorms, that common area is crazy nice

[@AFRO_KEEN]

When I was in the Marine Corps, it was 75 guys in wooden barracks, and you had fire watch duty. My take-home pay was $114 everything two weeks.

[@WarKing77]

LeJeune looked nothing like that back in the ‘90s 😅😂🤣

[@49ersmahsf1]

Back in 2009 it didnt still

[@johnwilkins2960]

BLT 1/2 Bravo Company was my last unit. Left in 94. Yep...barracks were no where near that good.

[@terristarnes7742]

TRELL I really like this video really cool. Thanks for sharing your Marine life.

[@normanhill535]

[@sleepy1967]

Bro honestly with what I’m going through in life, this is perfect , and to share with your best friend? Cmon now I’m not one to be picky, seems like the military is the thing I wanna do

[@usmc-veteran73-77]

Trell, do all ranks (E1-E5) live in the same type of room? I figure E6 and above have private rooms?

[@TrelltheGreat]

My Gentle Pitt Bull , E1-E5 live in the barracks, except if married and E-6 and above live out in town

[@scottjackson1332]

Here I thought we had it made in the Air Force back in the 80's. These are nice.

[@JaredAF]

[@carlatrezza7561]

Hoorah to all my brothers out there

[@waynefletcher9884]

Hey brother, your hair cut is looking better! I see you’re more in line with a dark green Marine! Semper Fi

[@jamestaylor7539]

Man! If only I had stayed in 30+ to see barracks like this!!! I was at Johnson, rack and a wall locker, that was it!!! All kidding aside, I'm jealous but glad to see they finally give up some money to make the barracks decent! Field day must suck though, more space, more games.........

[@ghostmost2614]

My barracks was rectangular with concrete walls...floors...ceiling. The head was shared by 2 sections. Each side had 4 shitters (no doors) 4 urinals, 4 sinks and 4 showers. You shared a bunk and used your wall lockers to form a cubical. It was a challenge to fart and see how many cubes you could affect. Good times.

[@ismaelpenaloza7148]

WOW the barracks look like hotels now. It has improved 100% I was there in 1999 and it look nothing like that and we had 3 to a room and one sink and a half fridge thats all you got LoL

[@Shadow_677]

You should look into making a video about the things you're allowed to take to boot camp and be sent.

[@TrelltheGreat]

Shadow The Cat , Yeah I can do that

[@RandySharp-k3b]

Thanks for the video . Great barracks . Can you do a video on PX ?
