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 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 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
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, 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.
After literally 4 years and 11 months of active duty, I was separated from the Marine Corps for misconduct. “1st contract” My SgtMaj told be on my final week in the Corps. “Remember, you’re always going to be a Marine. Take the pride you have earned and continue your journey. No matter if you were honorably discharged or separated.” I took it to the heart. Semper Fidelis Marines
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

@@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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
@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!
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.
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
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.
I'm a Marine and the place they are marching is at San Diego California. Its one of two places that have Marine Boot Camp and when dignitaries from other countries visit Parris Island or San Diego flags are flown in there honor. The movie was made during War Time and American allies were probably on deck partner I don't need to click the link.
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.
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.
@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.
Is it just me or has the only marine uniform to change in 70+ years been the combat uniform? Because I'd swear I've seen current marines wear everything that is in this movie besides the combat uniforms and gear (for obvious reasons, times change).
@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.
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
All the (REAL) Marines are marching like the Drill Instructors taught them; no one is out of step... except for John Payne... all the Marines are carrying their '03 Springfields at Right Shoulder Arms with mechanical precision. John Payne is carrying his like a club-footed lumberjack slinging an axe over his shoulder.
If any of you have ever seen pictures of WWII soldiers/sailors/marines you'll notice a lot of their hats tipped to one side. Just kinda how they did things
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!

My father is a Marine and he served with 2nd Battalion 9th Marines. Semper Fi and ooh-rah!
Vicky Rocamontes I served in 2/9 in Vietnam. 1967.
@@theroadrunnerjarhead4109 when did you discharge out? My father may know you. Ernie Wallace was his Gunnery Sergeant. He was the recipient of the Navy Cross.
@@theroadrunnerjarhead4109 Thank you for your service. My grandfather is also a Korean and Vietnam War Veteran. My father was too young to serve in Vietnam.
Vicky Rocamontes Thank you. It was an honor to serve our country. I thank your father and grandfather for their service. Congratulations to your dad for the Navy Cross. ^ I salute him. 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.
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.

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.
I noticed that too! MCRD Plt 3318, Sept 1966 VN India 3/26 67/68.
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.)
Payne served in the Army. I'm sure 90% in this movie were either in the service or would soon be.
Jack Wise instead of Penny Wise.
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
I graduated on that very same parade deck in 1989. Crazy.
Happy 245th Birthday Brothers & Sisters

Chills straight to the bone watching this
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 dad was a marine. Semper Fi
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.
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.
Marines have some of the most handsome guy's! Almost feel it's a requirement😂 God bless the marine corps 🙏🙏
America! God bless our amazing nation!!
respect and admiration for the u.s.m.c. from a pro u.s.a. englishman.
Went through boot camp in 1961. I remember the grinder very well. Spent countless hours on it in COD. Plt 101.
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.
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
They should bring back the winter dress blues with the Dark Blue cover, have my father's out standing.
Why does the Marine Corp hymn always calms me down?🤔😆🤣😄😎
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.
246 years of being an absolute terror to our enemies, and being a pain in the ass to the US Navy...OOOOFRIGGINRAH !
awesome video - such precision marching
@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!
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
God bless USMC
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.
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.
If you look up the word SHARP in the dictionary,you will see a picture of a Marine!
Hell, this almost looks modern. Good quality, the uniforms haven't changed, San Diego still pretty much looks like that,
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
If the army or the navy ever look on heavens scenes, they will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines
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.
US Marines? More like US Machines! That drill was exemplary.
I marched there for graduation in 78. Semper Fi
1942 before Guadicanal tarawa etc. many of the real marines fought after this movie was made. Many did not make back.
The design is much older than I thought, and it still holds very well as it was first designed
I just read a news article about the USMC’s new training initiative “Triumph, Trident, Tripoli. It was a pretty interesting read.
MCRD San Diego. Looked exactly the same in '72. I marched many a mile back and forth on that grinder.
I'm a Marine and the place they are marching is at San Diego California. Its one of two places that have Marine Boot Camp and when dignitaries from other countries visit Parris Island or San Diego flags are flown in there honor. The movie was made during War Time and American allies were probably on deck partner I don't need to click the link.
Movie was filmed before the War started, but released in 1942, not long after Pearl Harbor.
Been 3 years since I stood on them yellow foot prints. Damn that MCRD has always looked great.
My two brothers were Marines. 70-74 , 79-82. Ooooh Rah.
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.
Interesting that in a Hollywood movie mad in 1942 that these guys are using BRAND NEW M1 garand rifles.
actually in one scene they are marching away with 1903 springfields only to return with m 1 garand rifles.
Im so proud to be a U.S. Marine.
This is what I want in life
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 strong, the sexy, the Marines🇺🇸🤗❤️
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.
@ALBANO2684 The majority of the men in this scene are not actors, but real Marines.
@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.
Is it just me or has the only marine uniform to change in 70+ years been the combat uniform? Because I'd swear I've seen current marines wear everything that is in this movie besides the combat uniforms and gear (for obvious reasons, times change).
Damn fine marching skills. Great turnout.
Shortly after this Payne joined the USAAF Overage at 30! He became a flight instructor
@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.
When men were men….we all owe a debt to that generation men and women that sacrificed for all of us.
Because they thought a cover at a jaunty angle looked good; I think it looks good too.
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

My father 1997
Me 2021
Filmed in 1942. The best Marine Band
All the (REAL) Marines are marching like the Drill Instructors taught them; no one is out of step... except for John Payne... all the Marines are carrying their '03 Springfields at Right Shoulder Arms with mechanical precision. John Payne is carrying his like a club-footed lumberjack slinging an axe over his shoulder.
Full respec for this uniform and flag...
If any of you have ever seen pictures of WWII soldiers/sailors/marines you'll notice a lot of their hats tipped to one side. Just kinda how they did things
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 .

Semper Fi. Happy 244th birthday brothers and sisters.
MCRD San Diego... and the dress uniforms have not changed much since then :)
The movie was filmed at MCRD San Diego & most of those men were/are MARINES. And back when this movie was made most actors were in one of the Armed Services in one form or another. Some even saw combat too.
