[@MrR0py]

Holy shit they're playing saving private ryan audio in the background xD

[@alvinberleezysbadchoicekil3037]

KA MRR yeah they had it when i went through..its even better at night!

[@RyanIZReaper]

Haha I remember doing this and was like is that saving private ryan? Haha

[@mikenewell8961]

I want to take a couple of lines and thank all U.S. Armed service men and women for your dedication and many sacrifices. Here's to all past, present, and future. GOD BLESS AMERICA and GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU. THANK YOU.

[@kingcobra7183]

I want to take a couple of lines

[@nickdunne153]

I love it how in the noises in the back ground were in the ones used in Saving Private Ryan.

[@steagle33]

The pieces of paper are the different fireteam positions they are currently in for example: Automatic Rifleman, Fire Team leader, etc. Different fireteam formations require them to be in different positions.

[@Bruh-il7ju]

Also fck yeah Tom hanks trains marines

[@russellmitchem5465]

unforgettable time,many years ago for me!!!

[@dreyshunbush9387]

I remember doing all of this lol it was good looking back on it but at that time I hated it

[@Callsign_Sam41]

It's the opening scene in the movie. It's played to create stress and confusion while the actual explosions and bullet fire go on around you. It's really quite different to be there in person. I just graduated last week and gotta say that I loved that course.

[@omgzitsmilk]

Thank you so much sir. I am so thankful for people who actually give respect to people like this, the people who I will join. Once again, thank you

[@mehmet101]

i am happy to see them going through intense training .These trainings that will keep them alive. I have been through the same. After certain time you turn to a warrior and kill not to be killed.

[@TJkiwiOWEG]

because it's supposed to simulate what you would hear in combat. Tom hanks got me through that course.

[@TwoWheelinInc]

Its used to distinguish what position in the fire team you are. For example Fire Team Leader, Automatic Rifleman, Asst. Automatic Rifleman or Rifleman. It helps recruits learn the basics of fire team positions and their locations in different types of fire team formations, like Column, Wedge, Echelon, Skirmishers.

[@MrMusicMan95]

I'm going in as an MP and from a small town called Menomonie, wisconsin. my dad was in for 20 years, and he's basically the reason I chose the Marines

[@antontrann612]

omg i love these videos? why? cuz these were shot when i was there....im from platoon 2149...

[@wilhard45]

Nice to see Edson Range again. I did a re-qual there a long time ago. When I went through boot camp we fired at Camp Matthews. One of the last platoons to train and qualify before it was closed and the land transferred to UCSD. Recruit training has really changed over the years.

[@RavenBlaze]

Amazing how far they have come in the "real life" scenario training (I mean from studying the old video's of training).

[@shadowgun22]

This is why any marine at any time no matter if he is a cook, administration, or even a muscian. At anytime anyplace a marine male/female can pick up a rifle and join in the fight.

[@DesertWolf94]

Awesome! I can't wait!!

[@sarakambouris9668]

Excellent training

[@45Manley]

@omgitsmilk Compliments of being raised in a military family. My Grandfather served in the Marine Corps during vietnam. My other Grandfather was a master sergeant in the Army during Korea. All 3 of my uncles went through Ranger Training together, with my one remaining uncle joining the Navy. People need to thank these guys, not critique them.

[@rufmarine]

I like how they have the Saving Private Ryan beach assault playing in the background, adds a bit of realism to the course. I wish they had that when I was in boot camp.

[@xfuturemarine096x]

hahahah yes!i love that series!i was just watching it like 5 minutes ago

[@JacobVera115]

I like how their using the saving private ryan d-day scene to show what it's like to be in real combat experience

[@garygarland7031]

everyone in the room was wonder what the hell I was watching on my phone. lol

[@SlaytanicPOWER]

Operational Terms and Graphics representing elements of a fire team

[@XxKO3xX]

the sound in 2:00 is from saving private ryan, great movie

[@MTorres021]

I can't wait for the challange. I'll be in parris around may for the female recruits.

[@gtarules1]

Where's week 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12?

[@MrKirkCaptain]

You don't do shit in 3rd phase lol

[@anthonycaballero4457]

+Captaín Kirk Dude! The crucible...

[@AdonaiZedek]

@@MrKirkCaptain drill

[@repthehuskers]

It's their posistion when they are in "fire teams". A fire team is a four person unit, with only a leader, SAW gunner, assistant gunner, and rifleman.. Each Marine has a designated spot when conducting various Fire Team movements. i.e. column, wedge, skirmishes ect.

[@DatTrueTruth]

it's they're position in their fire team. you have the team leader, ready man, gunner, and assistant gunner.

[@Soarian117]

I went to the island for my boot camp and I did this assualt course in knee high mud...not a fun time.

[@couldntthinkofagoodnamesoi8357]

country captain chicken mre's are what nightmares are made of

[@jsyn1230]

8:20 the recruit is doing it wrong, you always take the buffer spring out first, just so that it wont hit you in the face

[@xghostx669]

Wheres week 8? I love the hell out of these videos.

[@million5.984]

I remeber this like it was yesterday, FUCK THAT SHIT!!!

[@IJackZo]

There's a scene exactly like that in the film Jarhead and that was set in 1989 based off of the memoirs of an ex-marine, so my guess would be that it was used a lot later on than the 40s

[@vla567]

I can't remember what each one exactly means but I remember that one indicates that your a saw gunner, squad leader, heavy weapon, and I want to say point. That's when you start learning tactical formations like wedges. It's there so the recruits can visually see where they need to be so not to cause more unneeded confusion.

[@lordmasterization]

Tom Hanks visits Marine training?

[@Blackopsmaster68]

He's a DI! Didn't you hear?

[@rugbymike8057]

haha I thought I was the only one that heard tom hanks xD

[@patkinder6632]

Way back in the ancient days on the Island we had the infiltration course and crawled under the wire in mud if you didn't leave a trail with your steel helmet you had to crawl backwards and start over again

[@Callsign_Sam41]

Each symbol stands for something different. Like it shows their position in either their platoon, squad, or fire team.

[@ovandolah14]

Great movie

[@D2Styx]

I love the Saving Private Ryan DDay scene in the background for clutter noise.

[@7xjerryx7]

its called a Hooch not a tent. and in the MCRD West we only set them up for display purposes only. when it comes time to hit the rack we take them down and sleep under the stars.

[@xxmacbethxx]

Dont remember off the top of my head what each one represents specifically but they are the persons position in the fire team IE: fire team leader, riflemen, machine gunner, and assistant machine gunner.

[@Marine5484]

Lol we had one unlucky kid in our platoon low crawl through a fire ant pile, two weeks later attacked buy yellow jackets, and during the crucible get bit by a spider. Drill instructors nicknamed him lord of the flies.

[@rapmann]

Cool. Thanks.

[@Nicole5311]

@luvemibear Nice, I can't wait to enlist!

[@shadowgun22]

@Th3UnrealProductions Yes at MCT

[@MrJbuddrow]

i train em every other day with pyramids and circuit training and have had strength gaining routines designed for pull ups and nothing. tried diets and all sorts of supps and got really strong but no more then 1 and a 1/2 to 2 pull ups. i was told by my old recruiter whos a master sgt now to go navy and do corpsman or seabees but we will see about that

[@DoctorSwellman]

They don't show weeks 8-13. It has to do with their standards on OPSEC in accordance with what they teach the recruits during that time frame. Some things, they really can't just put out there.

[@shadowgun22]

At Parris Island they have real effects in the mud to make it seem like your taking fire.

[@michaelburnetter4954]

This was a blast and a half haha

[@abukissjackson]

Men, I am Captain A. Walker. This is EXACTLY what you will be going through. Semper fi

[@Zaneboettcher]

Yea, its saving private ryan sound. There not allowed to use live ammunition during the drill. So the movie sounds simulate fire.

[@gtarules1]

9:29 "Make sure the weapon's on safe!" (Weapon on semi lol)

[@chrism.1033]

gtarules1 Yeah, I noticed that as well. Haha

[@GoldenAura32]

+gtarules1 When the hammer is up the weapon cannot be on safe. The hammer holds the trigger down and that blocks the selector lever from moving into the safe position. Once the hammer is pushed back down the selector lever is free to move to the safe position.

[@poolee77]

+DrE38 he was going over the steps in a function check while they were cleaning, that is all. As Golden Aura said, the weapon cannot be placed on safe while the hammer is up.

[@derrkalerrka]

@Josh3B different fireteam positions, rifleman, team leader, gunner, and assistant gunner

[@MrJbuddrow]

shit brings a tear to my eye for not making it over god damn pull ups. seriously got to t57 and got dropped to pcp and then to mrp 1 then to rsp and then home. 8/24/2009-12/17/2009 was my corps time. fucked thing is i would have been a good marine but you cant be a marine without pull ups. i still cant do more than 2. i want to come back so bad but damn pull ups are not a strong point. can do push ups and and crunches all day but cant do more then 2 pull ups. guess it just aint in the cards.

[@MaxBlight]

Lead series gets there highlight, but its all about fallow series. 2154. Seriously though, it wasent this epic when your actually doing it. The editor did a nice work on making this videos epic, thats for sure.

[@lilmarine]

1:40 we used the same audio at Ft Benning haha

[@andrewgala6670]

+lilmarine is that a recording from saving private ryan?

[@lilmarine]

+Andrew Gala yes it is

[@yl1782]

Dam its crazy how it's all green now

[@GhostWolf472]

I guess throwing your weapon down and yelling "I Surrender!" could count as a "strong training".

[@TJkiwiOWEG]

its to signify their role within their fire team.

[@TaxWrite-Off]

The only time I used live fire was at SOI. Not in boot camp.

[@fio2fiter]

thanks

[@FalconAlpaca]

lol Saving Private Ryan at 2:10

[@anthonycaballero4457]

Boomers course. Same thing but at night. By far the funnest thing in boot camp.

[@raptorjesus3019]

Anthony Caballero It's funny now lol all we were thinking at the time was WTF??? LOL

[@ASimpleJay]

Not all companys did it, mine didnt. but they are positions in a fire team such as R - Rifleman. O with the x inside was team leader then A Gunner and Saw Gunner.

[@TJkiwiOWEG]

@luvemibear I was referring to the "looks fun" .

[@89bhs]

@Josh3B They're to identify who's who like fire-team leader, rifle-man, automatic rifle-man, and assistant automatic rifle-man...

[@KillerRenob]

1:37 they are playing "Saving Private Ryan" in the background :). you can hear Tom Hanks screaming

[@Arduous087]

There's Corpsmen, it's Navy but they're assigned with Marines.

[@ThePapaDukez]

@LAXdart depends on you and the MRE

[@mattyjames81]

Oh cool sounds like they are using the sounds from Saving Private Ryan to guide the manuevers drill, that is just about the perfect movie to learn maneuvers from

[@antesignani]

this is almost the exact same thing we did in field medicine school in 22 area

[@Kepachodude]

@mackietac they teach that it is a weapon of killing, not a gun Idk why but live with it

[@ec354]

This brings back memories from about 6 weeks ago. mmmm.... mud...

[@STINKYxFROMAGE]

you realize that the marine corps is heavily based on the french military... All of the roads at parris island are named after french roads or battles. It has a lot of french roots.

[@jaygarciaiii23]

how i miss waiting in line for hours so the other terds could finish the course.

[@xMR.420x]

That would be what role they are in their squad.

[@ovandolah14]

haha The battle sounds during combat training are from the movie saving private rian haha

[@goofoffproductions]

@halonerd69971 You'd think they would use something from "The Pacific", since they're Marines and all.

[@hassanbigboss]

@LastXdeth Saving Private Ran!!!!!!! Cause back in the 90s they used real rounds until some one got killed!!!!!!!

[@Cheat2Win6]

at 1:40 did they have an audio excerpt from Saving Private Ryan playing? Am I the only one who hears Tom Hanks?

[@Metr0Gambler]

AHHH! Gotcha!

[@myle6749]

Omg watching them eat quickly, sleeping in those tents, drilling through those obstacles 😢😢😢

[@kipsanchez3353]

Yes they did have Saving Private Ryan audio playing. Running that course was fun, except the part where my earplugs fell out...every time. haha

[@jreedfive]

I think it's the billets within their fireteams.

[@Cinnabun]

Back in the 40's they used to lay wire over a huge mud pit and they'd fire a mg.42 over the top of the wire and make the marines crawl under it, can remember a story from an old history teacher who knew a guy who stuck his head up and it took his head off in training, don't do that anymore lol

[@r080d]

7:40 is the best part.

[@Josh3B]

The pieces of marked paper on the front of some helmets- what do those signify?

[@Frakman92]

lol at 1:30 the DI was like wat da fuq?! You gonna get my uniform dirty.

[@SpecOpslisac]

They use it because it has realistic war sounds. I'm not sure why they didn't take out the dialogue.

[@jmedi189]

Where is your night vision video camera?

[@Soarian117]

Night land nav...we all did the same thing.

[@lightemup]

They stopped doing live fire? I wasn't in the Corps but was in the infantry in the Army and had to crawl through simulated explosions and live .50 cal machine gun fire. But that was 10 years ago. I guess all services stopped?

[@thehantavirus]

yup

[@TheGililgi]

Were they playing the d-day scene to saving private ryan

[@DougTater]

@jonade123 its still in process haha

[@25DEVILpup]

@jr7rockets im gonna be there 03-12-2012

[@Vikingbloodguts]

nice, they get tents
