What Is Deployment Like? | Deployment Experience

What Is Deployment Like? A question asked by many. Well in this video I share my complete Deployment Experience about My First Deployment. My Deployment Experience was one never to be forgotten. Deploying and traveling is one of the best things about being an, United States Marine. I can't wait to here about your deployment story. I hope you enjoyed the video and as always, thanks for watching.

I like your channel. I am 74 and never served. But I so admire people like you who are putting in the work. I am so happy to be an American!

I am 26 with a 4 year old daughter who stays with her mom full time and I want to join the marines so I can move forward with a good future that offers opportunities...I just went to a marine corps office today and passed a practice ASVAB

[@yungtwigger3498]

I’m sure you’ll be a fine marine to serve with one day

[@westleyclayton5872]

You all prolly dont care but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot the account password. I love any tips you can offer me.

[@RogueAK47]

i would try for a more technical job like aviation or intel, infantry offers you zero rollover in the civilian sector

[@Chris-rt7ph]

@@RogueAK47 I know man my dumbass scored 31 on the asvab & I’m going in for infantry.

[@ultragogeta7569]

@@RogueAK47 wrong. aside from military police, i’ve heard infantry jobs can translate to law enforcement. so you’re looking to be a cop, sheriff, or state trooper infantry could help with that 🤷🏾‍♂️

I'm in the works on doing that.

[@princesspecan8114]

I have friend who deployed like year ago I really didn't ask them what it like for them so this video is very informative

[@TrelltheGreat]

Thank you

[@javiersalazar713]

I was on ship during the whole pandemic last year. Most boring time ever we stopped once in Guam for like 2 days but we couldn’t get off lol. We did nothing all day but stay in the berthing. It was a nightmare I was on there for 6 weeks. We were so bored started playing hide and seek throughout the ship.

[@kaleidoscope4688]

My boyfriend is getting deployed in a week.This was really helpful to understand what it's like for him.

[@gregroberge8873]

Go over your experience after SOI and hitting the fleet. Especially as an infantryman, was there hazing, etc.?

[@spasplash156]

No hazing

[@TrelltheGreat]

Ok will do

Im slick mad that I JUST found your KZbin but I am soo proud of you! I knew you would be a great marine

[@meyer5563]

Maybe at the end of your next video or so could u just go over the process of picking your job in the marines? For some reason theres lots of conflicting info on it I just wanna know the process

[@MrDW-ei1fe]

Every Marine Corps applicant is technically open contract after swearing in at MEPS.After that you sit down with your recruiter and pick 3 jobs you're interested in. A lot of them are going to be job fields and not specific mos'. You can sign an infantry contract but that doesn't guarantee you 0311, 0331, 0341 etc. unless you're a reservist. Oh and God forbid you go open contract. Don't go open contract regardless of what they tell you...

[@meyer5563]

@@MrDW-ei1fe right, I would like to go combat engineer as my first pick. I'm just wondering can I specifically get the combat engineer position or is it a pool. Like I could EITHER get combat engineer, regular engineer, electrician , etc. And I know most questions people get on youtube you could easily ask your recruiter and not he annoying to youtube but this question I feel like my recruiter would tell me what I want to hear versus the truth

[@MrDW-ei1fe]

Meyer556 I think you can specifically get combat engineer. I had a couple of friends in boot camp and now in the fleet that were contract combat engineers and not reservists. If I’m not mistaken there’s a couple of contracts that have combat engineer as an option. If you want combat engineer then push for it.

[@meyer5563]

[@lolanbrewster]

Thank you for your service, I am very grateful. My Devil Dog is presently deployed on a MEU. Semper Fi 🇺🇸

[@Lisatighe81194]

Wow - I was in the Navy - spent 5 years on ships - this represents absolutely nothing of my deployments, however, our Marines were just riders and did very little except clog the chow lines and the gym. The Sailors run and maintain the ship. I am very grateful for the work that the Marines do, but on ships, they're riders and the Navy just moves them around to do their job (which they do exceptionally well).

[@mattyicicles1608]

And also, i had a question about the marines in general, deployment or at home. is there a place to constantly train martial arts similar to MCMAP ? I want to get into MMA after I leave the Marines but I’m a little worried they don’t actually focus on hand to hand combat much outside of boot camp/SOI. a response would be extremely appreciated, love your videos.

[@TrelltheGreat]

Yeah you definitely can keep doing MCMAP after bootcamp and stuff. I'm a black belt and you can practice as much as you want. And there are places off base if you want to specifically practice MMA.

[@mattyicicles1608]

[@calypsohandjack9278]

No deployments are alike. My deployment we rarely had any contact, easy deployment according to the more experienced NCOs who had been in longer, and the contact we did have I wasn't there until the end of it anyway, was 5 minutes short of getting a CMB. Then you have stuff like that movie Restrepo. THAT is a tough deployment

[@TrelltheGreat]

👍

[@RogueAK47]

deployments supporting or involved in actual operations are a lot more intense, on my deployments we worked 12 hour shifts minimum, 7 days a week for over 7 months a piece

[@noahherrera8308]

Do marine infantry men get to fight first if there was a war? Or do they send like army rangers ? New to this stuff but interested

[@firacingast]

Not in the service, but Marines are typically America's first response branch. They are an offensive branch that's goal is entirely in invasion. In recent years, they led pushes into places like Fallujah and many other parts of Iraq.

[@marquez4497]

Depends on the mission. They’ll most likely send special forces first & then regular infantry.

[@seansimms8503]

In the old days the Seals went in first to clear any invasion area of whatever or to recon...I wasn't in the 0300 field but I was in 0400, good thing about being 0400 you are the first to know whats going on because its the 0400s providing support and moving what ever unit where, 0431, went through Amphibious Assault School on Coronado Island in 1992, we ain't there for the Assault part, we go there to learn how to properly load and disembark the various ships, Aircraft, etc whatever, I always preferred Navy bases marine, food was better.

[@michaelmatthias9495]

@@firacingast false. Marines haven’t really been first to fight anywhere other than the pacific. Look it up. Rangers definitely have a higher chance of deploying and will usually deploy sooner. If a meu is in the area I can see them being sent first if needed though

When you say classes what do you mean

[@devildog1534]

Why do some Marines get deployed on ships? And others on land?

[@tanisj2470]

They’re amphibious lol. Marines are historically meant to take the beaches so the navy takes them across water onto a beach and then the marines attack the land. But also marines can be used to just take land.

[@matthewmartinez2717]

How long is post deployment leave?

[@TrelltheGreat]

Usually ranges anywhere from 1-2 weeks

[@texasred3335]

Does everyone get assigned to a MEU?

[@TrelltheGreat]

No just depends on what your unit is doing next

[@seansimms8503]

Used to be you either went on a float or you went to Okinawa for a year, one of the two...not everyone but dam near everyone, I didn't go on either, I did go to DD92 in 1992, NATO Amphibious Exercise with new member Turkey back then.
