Thomas Webster ,, I will be a marine like my father before me as his father was before him and one day my son will be a marine like his fathers before him.
I marched on that same parade ground Aug 73, my baby brother’s son, my nephew did it also Aug 2017. Definitely brings back memories. “Once a Marine, always a Marine!!” There are no truer words. Semper Fi
Randolph Scott ,he could play any part and make you believe that he was the real deal ,marine ,cowboy ,lawman,pilot, he was one of the best from old Hollywood!!!!!
He was a young commander of a US Army mortar section or platoon in the trenches of the nastiest, ugliest war...WWI. So he had some clue how to play such a role. Love me some Randolph...always. Ten yrs older than John Wayne, he was John Wayne before John Wayne.
I love this part of the movie - it is the best footage of a military band playing - you won't see this any more - the size of the band, also marching with the drum and bugle corps - all history.
I was, and still am, grateful that the service and dress uniforms of the United States Marines has changed very little in over 75 years now! It appears that the designers of those uniforms got it right the 1st time.
So they did. They found a classic look and were wise enough to stick with it. A Marine in his Dress Blues or Winter Service Alpha Greens from 2022 would have no trouble recognizing Marines dressed the same from 1942.
I have been blessed to have a wonderful life. One of the proudest events....to be commissioned and to serve as an Officer of Marines! Semper Fi Brothers and Sisters, LORD bless and keep you all!
My SON E1 WE ALL MISSED HIS GRADUATION HURRICANE ALL THE RECURITOR HAD TO LEAVE PARRIS ISLAND TO LOCATE Albany Ga we where all sad but everybody made it safe and that's what matter
not to nitpick, but your comment reminds me of the title to the late E. B. Sledge's (WWII USMC) book, "The Old Breed." Sledge tells you in that book that the old breed he had in mind were the marines who had been in the corps for a long time BEFORE WWII, and not guys his age (18-20) who were pouring into the Corps in 1942-43. You and I, of course, would think of any WWII Marine as part of The Old Breed" but that isn't what Sledge had in mind. Great book, btw.
"DISCIPLINE OF THE OLD BREED MARINES?" I'M PART OF THE OLD BREED THESE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN MARINE STOOD ON THOSE YELLW FOOT PRINT LIKE WE ALL HAVE. I'M PROUD OF THEM! THE CORPS IS IN GOOD HANDS. THE CORPS IS THE CORPS AND THE CORPS WILL ALWAYS BE THE CORPS. SEMPER FI
You mean these guys from early '42 shown above? Which men and WOMEN did you mean, as there were no women at boot camp in 1942 (thank God). The Corps, and the country, is fighting for its life. The standards are being shattered across the board to fully integrate these women, despite the official line from phony political generals and their masters, the social engineering pols. They just keep on and on and are too powerful politically (and too stupid to stop wrecking everything) to stop, especially when men have been cowed for decades in the face of this militant feminism. Female infantry leaders? Nonsense and a waste of time and money regardless of whether it's army or marine uniform (and it's now both). Trump and Mattis don't seem to be able or willing to stop what Obama and Ash Carter set in motion. Gotta want it and the old ways just don't seem to have the fire any more. Sad. But at least I have old books and these old videos.

1960 Platoon 3004 boot camp, MCRD San Diego. Been there, done that. Brings back memories. Would do it all over again. I was "volunteered" to be company runner a few times so I got to see a lot more than the rest of the men in my platoon as we were under control 24/7.
I served in the Marines and my last duty station was MCRD San Diego in 1996. I was the Facilities Maintenance officer. The base was constructed in 1920. General Butler, awarded the MOH, TWICE, was its first Commandant and had a lot of input into its construction.. I was in charge of all Facilities maintenence on the 450+-/- acre base. 19.5 acres was that grinder that is so crucial to building up unit cohesion. When the base was expanded we made every effort to conform to the 1920 vision of General Butler.. It is a wonderful place to visit, every friday they have a graduation ceremony, and has a great MC museum. When we had a question about base history we would refer to this movie because all outside scenes were shot at MCRD San Diego. I went to boot camp Parris Island, South Carolina.
Yes... you can always tell immediately who the actor is, in this case, John Payne, as all the Marines are marching with arms at the Right Shoulder in perfect precision except for Payne; he's carrying his weapon like a lumberjack carrying an axe on his shoulder, the only one whose weapon is swinging back and forth.
Lots of the guys in this clip are headed off In Harm's Way, for sure. This was released in spring '42. (Still can't figure out how they have M-1 Garands here.)
So true Jack . between John Wayne and a few other actors during WW11 nobody , should have died as they won every battle then , and the Texan Ranger won every battle against all the crooks in Texas, also he still has not gone grey yet , i cannae remember his name but i am sure you folks out there know his name, he does advertise the flogging of exercise machines on TV
It's mostly the parking on the parade deck that miniturized the grinder. The new squad bays are where the old Quonset huts were. BUT-----the airport cut the bay off from the depot. Used to use the mud flats to on. That was good training for all the muck/swampy islands the Marines then landed on. Wish the Marines would still drill at this speed----for the most part they don't.
this is probably the most energy and most liveliness you'll ever seen in an American military parade you'd never see the military today marching with that level of cohesion, pomp, and circumstance, and especially at a quicker tempo, like that, since the current marching style is at a much slower tempo and looks quite robotic in comparison to this

Graduated from Paris Island June '63 and was selected for Sea Duty. Went through Sea School, MCRD San DIego and was assigned to the Marine Detachment aboard the USS Columbus (CG-12). Guided missile cruiser. Ships complement was some 1,500 sailors and 48 Marines. Served 2 years aboard the ship.
1942 TWO YEARS BEFORE I WAS BORN. SEVENTEEN YEARS AFTER I WAS BORN I MARCHED ON THE SAME BLACK TOP. WEARING THE SAME UNIFORM CARRYING THE SANE RIFLE. AND IT GOES ON. THE CORPS IS THE CORPS AND THE CORPS WILL ALWAYS BE THE CORPS. SEMPER FI TO ALL MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
not quite the same rifle I wouldn't think, right? This movie was released in spring '42 and those rifles are either bolt actions are M-1. Either way, you would have had either M-14 or M-16 at basic in '69, right? No disrespect intended, sir.
OK WELL I WENT INTO THE MARINES 1961 I WAS ISSUED A M-1 AND A K-BAR THAT CARRIED FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS. THE TWO TRIPS TO VIETMAN I CARRIED M=16. I STILL HAVE MY K-BAR THAT WILL BE BURUID WITH.
For those that don't know, this scene was from a movie released in 1942 called "To the Shores of Tripoli." I recently discovered that this was the first movie that my friend's grandfather, Harry Morgan, was in. Harry Morgan also played Colonel Potter in MASH during the 70's and 80's. One of the family members told me that they had just finished filming this movie a few months before the bombing of Pearl Harbor occurred.
@TaCtIcSfTw1 Many of the marching commands used in the past are no longer used. If you watch the movie you would see they use the comand "Marching Manual" and the troops execute several consecutive manual of arms movements. Many things may change but the Corps LIVES FOREVER!
Yes, they would. Look at pictures of Marines from the 1920- to the 1940's and you'll see that many of them tilted there covers. Look at pictures of Franklin Sousley who raised the flag on Iwo, or some Medal of Honor winners and you'll see this was common at the time.
Those guys are real '42 USMC. You can bet they are headed in harm's way, probably to "The 'Canal." That high grade (for that era) color film almost makes it look like it was filmed a year or two ago.
I think the film came out in '42, so likely '41 Marines. Films can take a year to put together. The film was to have a different ending, then Pearl Harbor occurred, and the ending was changed so the Payne stayed in.
Some Marine units were furnished with the '03 Springfield or the '03-A3 at the outset of WW2. I have an '03 dated 1914 and an '03-A3 dated 1942. I also have an M1 Garand which is dated 1951. I've been collecting and shooting military firearms for 25 years now and have a pretty good representation of them from WW1, WW2 and Korea. The U. S. Marines.......your best friend and your worst enemy.
As the current Commandant of the Marine Corps stated: I sat the policy two weeks ago....a Marine is a Marine no matter what uniform he is now wearing......if a Marine graduated the grinder at P. Island, San Diego or the hills of Quantico they will always be a Marine....enough said.....CMC has published it in an ALMAR
@DeathStroke13 Actually it is an old marching movement that was used when troops were marching on a wide frontage. Its the same thing as the way the troops today execute the comand parade rest and the comand at ease . many many years ago there was even a comand called squads right which is also obsolete today.
@alex1071959 The 1942 movie "To The Shores of Tripoli" Staring John Payne and Randolf Scott. You will never see a Marine Band that big and that splendid again.
I marched on that "Grinder" in Aug. 1974...kid brother in June 1980. They still had "Sea Going Bell Hop" school there. But you didn't go straight there from Boot Camp. You went and were trained for your MOS, then you applied for Sea School. Most were in the Infantry Field of 0300. Having watched this movie a gabillion times, I just caught a foo-pah. The first company of Boots were not given the "Eyes Right" to salute the officers reviewing them, who would have returned the salute. Not a big deal to a lot, but a Gyrene would know. SFMF
Everyone does a fine job. How can a movie-goes not be impressed, especially in 1942. BTW - Randolph Scott appears to be natural leader here. His US Army service is clear.
The band isn't "The President's Own - United States Marine Corps Band," which is stationed at Marine Barracks, Washington, DC; but most likely the MCRD San Diego Band, or the Camp Pendleton Band and/or 1st Marine Division Band, or a combination of the three. The Marines in dress blues, led by Randolph Scott, are series honor graduates headed to Sea School; the others are Sea School students. Blue Battle Color replaced by red, but transition not complete by time movie made.
San Diego band, since the 1st Marine division and Camp Pendleton didn't exist in 1941 when this was filmed at San Diego. Could have been big because the reserves had been already called up, and bands were bigger then.
Did anyone notice that the whole formation was flipped/moved? In the beginning they are marching and facing where the barracks/ kwanzaa huts are with the main buildings in the background then when the Staff Sergeant reports they are all of a sudden facing the flag pole? Towards the buildings. 😅
@GuyPennebaker thats because back in the day a gentlemens tilt was the in thing to do and was authorized in uniform. A gentlemens tilt of 5 degrees for the cover is still authorized to this day according to MARADMIN
Leopard A2A6 is the most sophisticated tank in the World and has some of the Best Armor and Weapons System compared and Engine and Transmission. .. only thing is that it is not battle tested but has had its presence felt on the eastern front when russian aggression re-appeared in 2000's
It looks like San Diego USMC Recuit Depot which I did my boot training in 1969. I miss it believe it or not. I didn't become a lifer,but also did Sea School training across the giant parade field. Spent training on both sides of the parade grounds. I must of stepped on the same places famous Marines & Hollywood actors performed. Brings back good memories especially with my buddy from home town when the Marines had the Buddy System during the Vietnam War.
always wanted to see that Catholic church that John Basilone (MoH, NC) and his wife were married at (Oceanside, St Mary's by the Sea). I bet some Gyrenes got married there before shipping out - and never made it back, like Basilone. Serious place for reflection.
This is so cool. Both the American and British military have natural and un exaggerated physical presence. The movements are fluid, not jerky and stiff with authoritarianism.

Best version of the Hymn I have ever heard! There's real solid strength in that sound.
I passed in review with Honor Platoon 156 on 21 May, 1968. Before the new squad bays cut the grinder in half. It was a BIG grinder in those days.
It's mostly the parking on the parade deck that miniturized the grinder. The new squad bays are where the old Quonset huts were. BUT-----the airport cut the bay off from the depot. Used to use the mud flats to on. That was good training for all the muck/swampy islands the Marines then landed on. Wish the Marines would still drill at this speed----for the most part they don't.

The Marine Corps does not give those awards lightly. To be honored so highly means that he truly went above and beyond. I got discharged in 1968.
@@theroadrunnerjarhead4109 my father was not the recipient of the Navy Cross. It was his Gunnery Sergeant Ernie Wallace for his service in Vietnam. My father told me he should have received the CMH.
To all the marines your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks job well done you should be proud love and respect you guys thanks ! Joe
My late eldest brother graduated from Parris Island in 1962. He returned home after being wounded in Vietnam in 1966.
Chills straight to the bone watching this
God Bless The UNITED STATES of AMERICA
Gotta admit you yanks have a certain style to you, I myself love it. Right and proper smart looking you lot are with them uniforms. Anyway cheers and all the best lads from the United Kingdom, hope europe gets it's head out of it's ass before we end up having to ask you lot to help us clear house. But hopefully that won't happen cause we'd probably never hear the bloody end of it like with the last two wars over here. Eitherway thanks and all the best to you lads once again.
Napalmsticks Tochildren that comment just sounded English.
No..... Really?
U.S. Marine Corps can trace it's existence from the British Royal Marines! (USMC Ret. '73-95)
@@richardepoulinjr The Continental Marines do not trace a lineage to the Royal Marines. Though they did kick their asses from Banks Island to Nassau.

Graduated from Paris Island June '63 and was selected for Sea Duty. Went through Sea School, MCRD San DIego and was assigned to the Marine Detachment aboard the USS Columbus (CG-12). Guided missile cruiser. Ships complement was some 1,500 sailors and 48 Marines. Served 2 years aboard the ship.
My dad was a marine. Semper Fi
Went through boot camp in 1961. I remember the grinder very well. Spent countless hours on it in COD. Plt 101.
America! God bless our amazing nation!!
awesome video - such precision marching
1942 TWO YEARS BEFORE I WAS BORN. SEVENTEEN YEARS AFTER I WAS BORN I MARCHED ON THE SAME BLACK TOP. WEARING THE SAME UNIFORM CARRYING THE SANE RIFLE. AND IT GOES ON. THE CORPS IS THE CORPS AND THE CORPS WILL ALWAYS BE THE CORPS. SEMPER FI TO ALL MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
not quite the same rifle I wouldn't think, right? This movie was released in spring '42 and those rifles are either bolt actions are M-1. Either way, you would have had either M-14 or M-16 at basic in '69, right? No disrespect intended, sir.
OK WELL I WENT INTO THE MARINES 1961 I WAS ISSUED A M-1 AND A K-BAR THAT CARRIED FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS. THE TWO TRIPS TO VIETMAN I CARRIED M=16. I STILL HAVE MY K-BAR THAT WILL BE BURUID WITH.
Please subscribe to my channel hacksaw8214 , i have subed you btw.
@@teller1290 Marines always carry m1a1s when they march.
@@nashbraymen9564 M1A1 is not a military issue weapon, right? I have an M1A and bought it from Springfield Arms in 1999; a semi-auto weapon.
For those that don't know, this scene was from a movie released in 1942 called "To the Shores of Tripoli." I recently discovered that this was the first movie that my friend's grandfather, Harry Morgan, was in. Harry Morgan also played Colonel Potter in MASH during the 70's and 80's. One of the family members told me that they had just finished filming this movie a few months before the bombing of Pearl Harbor occurred.
@TaCtIcSfTw1 Many of the marching commands used in the past are no longer used. If you watch the movie you would see they use the comand "Marching Manual" and the troops execute several consecutive manual of arms movements. Many things may change but the Corps LIVES FOREVER!
Marines have some of the most handsome guy's! Almost feel it's a requirement😂 God bless the marine corps 🙏🙏
Yes, they would. Look at pictures of Marines from the 1920- to the 1940's and you'll see that many of them tilted there covers. Look at pictures of Franklin Sousley who raised the flag on Iwo, or some Medal of Honor winners and you'll see this was common at the time.
salty ...
God bless USMC
They should bring back the winter dress blues with the Dark Blue cover, have my father's out standing.
MCRD San Diego. Looked exactly the same in '72. I marched many a mile back and forth on that grinder.
Those guys are real '42 USMC. You can bet they are headed in harm's way, probably to "The 'Canal." That high grade (for that era) color film almost makes it look like it was filmed a year or two ago.
I think the film came out in '42, so likely '41 Marines. Films can take a year to put together. The film was to have a different ending, then Pearl Harbor occurred, and the ending was changed so the Payne stayed in.
I just read a news article about the USMC’s new training initiative “Triumph, Trident, Tripoli. It was a pretty interesting read.
Fabulous slice of America, long time ago.
Some Marine units were furnished with the '03 Springfield or the '03-A3 at the outset of WW2. I have an '03 dated 1914 and an '03-A3 dated 1942. I also have an M1 Garand which is dated 1951. I've been collecting and shooting military firearms for 25 years now and have a pretty good representation of them from WW1, WW2 and Korea. The U. S. Marines.......your best friend and your worst enemy.
Been 3 years since I stood on them yellow foot prints. Damn that MCRD has always looked great.
respect and admiration for the u.s.m.c. from a pro u.s.a. englishman.
As the current Commandant of the Marine Corps stated: I sat the policy two weeks ago....a Marine is a Marine no matter what uniform he is now wearing......if a Marine graduated the grinder at P. Island, San Diego or the hills of Quantico they will always be a Marine....enough said.....CMC has published it in an ALMAR
@DeathStroke13 Actually it is an old marching movement that was used when troops were marching on a wide frontage. Its the same thing as the way the troops today execute the comand parade rest and the comand at ease . many many years ago there was even a comand called squads right which is also obsolete today.
If the army or the navy ever look on heavens scenes, they will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines
Hell, this almost looks modern. Good quality, the uniforms haven't changed, San Diego still pretty much looks like that,
@alex1071959 The 1942 movie "To The Shores of Tripoli" Staring John Payne and Randolf Scott. You will never see a Marine Band that big and that splendid again.
Why does the Marine Corp hymn always calms me down?🤔😆🤣😄😎
I marched there for graduation in 78. Semper Fi
The design is much older than I thought, and it still holds very well as it was first designed
I marched on that "Grinder" in Aug. 1974...kid brother in June 1980. They still had "Sea Going Bell Hop" school there. But you didn't go straight there from Boot Camp. You went and were trained for your MOS, then you applied for Sea School. Most were in the Infantry Field of 0300. Having watched this movie a gabillion times, I just caught a foo-pah. The first company of Boots were not given the "Eyes Right" to salute the officers reviewing them, who would have returned the salute. Not a big deal to a lot, but a Gyrene would know. SFMF
Everyone does a fine job. How can a movie-goes not be impressed, especially in 1942. BTW - Randolph Scott appears to be natural leader here. His US Army service is clear.
The band isn't "The President's Own - United States Marine Corps Band," which is stationed at Marine Barracks, Washington, DC; but most likely the MCRD San Diego Band, or the Camp Pendleton Band and/or 1st Marine Division Band, or a combination of the three. The Marines in dress blues, led by Randolph Scott, are series honor graduates headed to Sea School; the others are Sea School students. Blue Battle Color replaced by red, but transition not complete by time movie made.
San Diego band, since the 1st Marine division and Camp Pendleton didn't exist in 1941 when this was filmed at San Diego. Could have been big because the reserves had been already called up, and bands were bigger then.
My two brothers were Marines. 70-74 , 79-82. Ooooh Rah.

he was a cook in Okinawa Japan in the 1960s
💂is is one thing,the company said in
gotta have that chow!
Im so proud to be a U.S. Marine.
fucking tipped hats are awsome
Did anyone notice that the whole formation was flipped/moved? In the beginning they are marching and facing where the barracks/ kwanzaa huts are with the main buildings in the background then when the Staff Sergeant reports they are all of a sudden facing the flag pole? Towards the buildings. 😅
This is what I want in life
US Marines? More like US Machines! That drill was exemplary.
1942 before Guadicanal tarawa etc. many of the real marines fought after this movie was made. Many did not make back.
very very impressive!!!
The strong, the sexy, the Marines🇺🇸🤗❤️
Major General Smedley Butler (holder of two medals of honor) died June 21, 1940 at Philadelphia PA. This movie was made in 1942.
The movie came out around May of '42, so was filmed in '41.
Back then it was all Real Men sadly today no longer..
I love this

Leopard A2A6 is the most sophisticated tank in the World and has some of the Best Armor and Weapons System compared and Engine and Transmission. .. only thing is that it is not battle tested but has had its presence felt on the eastern front when russian aggression re-appeared in 2000's
USA！USA！
Filmed in 1942. The best Marine Band
It looks like San Diego USMC Recuit Depot which I did my boot training in 1969. I miss it believe it or not. I didn't become a lifer,but also did Sea School training across the giant parade field. Spent training on both sides of the parade grounds. I must of stepped on the same places famous Marines & Hollywood actors performed. Brings back good memories especially with my buddy from home town when the Marines had the Buddy System during the Vietnam War.
always wanted to see that Catholic church that John Basilone (MoH, NC) and his wife were married at (Oceanside, St Mary's by the Sea). I bet some Gyrenes got married there before shipping out - and never made it back, like Basilone. Serious place for reflection.
This is so cool. Both the American and British military have natural and un exaggerated physical presence. The movements are fluid, not jerky and stiff with authoritarianism.
watch the French Foreign Legion if you want swagger.
The Marine Corps should bring back the winter service Dark Blue cap for the Dress Blues. They retired them in 1957, they look sharp.
where can I see a photo of that cap?
You mean cover? Marines don't wear caps.
I've marched on that grinder and passed in review.
I took my daughter there in 2015 , mostly a pking lot , no "boot's" marching or rifle drill . B-king and starbucks predominant . Very disappointed . I called the USMC commedant in D C , got a E-e millennial , "always been that way ". SAD!
Got out in '74 , took my daughter to MCRD in 2015 . Grinder is 2/3 rds parkinglot . No one out there !. Med bldng and temp barracks are now a starbucks and b/king !. I called the comm USMC , got some millennial e-5 . Waist of time .
Awesome!
Damn fine marching skills. Great turnout.
Semper Fi. Happy 244th birthday brothers and sisters.
