It’s been sixty years since I’ve done this. I haven’t forgotten how to handle an M1 Garand rifle and in my mind’s-eye I can still spin and do a rolling toss to my platoon members. Eventually, I became platoon Commander and I truly missed the M1. As CO, I wore a Sam-Black with a saber and there’s not much showing off one can do with it alone.
About 20 years ago I was visiting a friend who happened to own an M1 and I told him how I used to handle one. He placed it in my lap and said, go for it. So we went outside and it was like riding a bike, you never forget how to do it. I was a bit slower than before and I certainly didn’t have the “snap“ that I used to have, but it was good enough that his family applauded my meager performance. Most importantly, I didn’t drop it!
Mick Bradford awesome sir! 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🏾👍🏾
love peace brother and welcome home.
Wow that really cool, thanks for your service sir
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Thank You for your service, Sir🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
mick Bradford .Semper Fi and thank you for your service to our country ,I would love to sit down and watch you do a silent drill.IVe seen more than my share on here but ive never had the honor to see one in person
You can’t beat crisp ,precision Drill .Respect from a British RAF veteran.Semper Fi,Per Ardua Ad Astra 🇺🇸🇬🇧
This is not a halftime show. This is *"the"* halftime show.
You had me angry in the first half, not gonna lie
@Berserker von Sudetenland...nah..they were Googling how to get one of those for themselves!
@Berserker von Sudetenland probably watching this event live in her phone.
What awards are the marine wearing on their uniforms.
This is a real halftime show. People who understand sacrifice and hard work. Not some unimportant celebrity making speeches about how awful and unfair the country that made them rich is.
Mc Cc they put there life on the line to protect your FREEDOMS! You must be a liberal democrat to stay such uneducated statement!
It's as lame as they are.... an absolute waste of soldiers dressed as peacocks and performing some weird dance with a rifle. Wtf is the purpose of soldiers practicing to March silently and twist and spin on a field....its just entertainment. They should of done ballet to make it worth their while at least j can see true commitment
@camelo are you kidding? Are you an AMERICAN? Easily put entertainment and pride in the United States of AMERICA. Let me guess you voted for clinton?
@@camelo1495 They're not soldier's. They're Marines and try to show a little respect. At least they had the balls to join while you just sit behind your phone, computer and gaming console. Go and try and do what they do and go what they been through to EARN that uniform like them and they're fellow brothers and sisters in the other branches did. Each earned their titles and ranks. Especially since they left home and sacrificed their individual times to defend the country they swore to serve and protect. They may be called to battle at any given day or night and may not ever be able to come back home in one piece. They knew what they signed up for and still moving forward with their promise. How many cam say the same? You Sure can't. Try to more appreciative about what our men and women in uniform do. You go to sleep soundly at night while other people in other countries have to stay up with their families, friends, neighbors and relatives listening to repeated gun fire and bombings. Be more appreciative instead of being disrespectful.
@@christopherj.bernard5054 I have served.... I just didnt dance....idiot!
Those Marines are so proud I can feel it from here. And, I'm proud of them!
In a age when every blessed thing is drowned in noise this actually takes a lot of concentration and mindfulness to follow. I watched and I don’t think I saw one mistake.
Silent is difficult to show! No music ritme, just count your steps! It's amazing the discipline!
Ugh. I have to do a 1 minute one with my cadet force regularly to check our drill skills. And i always mess up. But the timing is fine. You know how large of a step you have to take. However. No one giving you instructions is really hard. I forget what to do.
This is a thing of beauty. And you managed to insult two groups of people in one ignorant statement. Children who know how to read and play music and devoted Marines who show skill and excellence in action. You sir are what?
anthony rubio you sound mad at life buddy no one cares about your opinion they are disciplined and clearly you are the opposite
The ONLY thing missing on turf, is the clicks from their shoes/soles. But, that also might further display how difficult counting steps are in this maneuver!
@anthony rubio - - Every, single ONE of those men have demonstrated on multiple levels what it means to be a Marine. So yes they're trained, they damned well can- & will defend when called to do so. What about you, what the hell do you stand for?
OK, I'm an ex Army Sergeant, and I have to say that this was absolutely incredible to watch. For those that are not military, it's hard to understand how difficult it is to do something like this without cadence calling. These Marines have my respect. Semper Fi.
Beats the hell out of a Beyoncé halftime show. Semper Fidelis!
Erix7810 I agree with u I like seeing military performances
She has all the electronics to make your voice sound better but still manages to sound like shit what these men are doing is 100% training and giving it their all as a response to your question you are damn right these men are better
Which Beyoncé are you talking about?? She does not use auto tune and I believe 90% of the population enjoy her music compared to the niche group of people who want to sit in silence for 30 minutes watching dude rub all over guns. It’s completely fine to like both thing, but comparing them is idiotic. Also, it’s different if you said Maroon 5 because everyone hates them, but Beyoncé spends months on her performances and dances and is in charge of her entire production unlike other artists.
I know I sound kind like a crazed fan, but truly I’m not. But she’s a talented artist that prides herself in her performances. The silent platoon is great for certain performances, heck I’d love to see it, but it is not something I would use to entertain millions.
damn why call Beyonce out like that specifically?
They are incredible!! The strength in their forearms and hands is amazing !!Semper Fi!
I'm NOT American but the Silent Drill Platoon is not only the most impressive choreography of military precision but the most impressive choreography of ANYTHING in the world. I can't believe Jet kickers came onto the field during the event! How disrespectful.
@Eskimos I was born in England & it's not even close.
@Eskimos "British left a legacy around the world" Historically, GBR left disease, rape, pillage, pestilence, multi-continental slavery, & racism. In this case, the Marines use SILENT cadences and toss bayonetted weapons for inspection in Class "A" unis ...the Brits aren't tightly coordinated or silent. No contest!
@Eskimos Legacy? Are you a fucking idiot?
@Eskimos LoL, someone seems to have a few things backwards. But, to each their own.
I think someone is jealous.
@Eskimos Ya, the Brits are fantastic. Just look at the aboriginals in Australia. The Africans in Africa and the the native Americans in the US. Well thought out. To list a few...
You might want to take into consideration the US has never colonized another country.
The Brits are a wicked empire that lost it's power. Just like every other super power throughout history. Countries that the Brits colonized only got better after they didn't fully control them.
I love how the Captain leads his men out onto the field then gets the heck out of the way while his platoon does their job and then leads back when they are done. Way to go, skipper. Tell us what to do and then let us get to it. Semper Fi to all my brothers and welcome home.
Smart man. Put the right guys out there to do the job, and let 'em do it without interference ;)
That's the way in the army to.
As a second generation Marine...my dad, 38-46...me, 68-70...seeing this just makes me so proud of them and the Corps.
Phil Brown thank you
This is awesome to witness in person. The dedication these guys have is incredible. Marines aren't only badass in the field, they are badass on the field too.
I’ve honestly never even heard of this until now, and I’m impressed by what I’m seeing. Completely silent, not a word or a cadence to help keep the time.
Incredible eye-hand coordination ... Virtually FLAWLESS! 🇺🇲👍. Semper Fi, my Brother Marines!
The Few, the Proud, The Marines! Oorah!!!
what is that oorah or something? i'm european so i have no idea. :D
Proud on what?
Loosing Vietnam war
@@m.k.2685Should have nuked Vietnam.
HELL YEAH
@panda44r than you
I was on a precision drill team when I went to military school as a teenager. We were never as good as the Marines, but we were one of the best high school teams in the country. It takes a lot of practice and body language, but one thing they are doing is communicating with their eyes when standing face-to-face. If you blink twice it denotes a certain move.
Another flawless performance. Well done Marines
As an ex british squaddie, I have most resect and admiration for a flawless exhibition of drill. This Marines are just so young and to master this drill absolutely brilliant. Most respect to all of you. 🎖
One of the best halftime shows I’ve seen in a long time. I come from a long line of military family members. I am an Air Force brat myself and this is so awesome! My daddy is a Vietnam Veteran and I know how hurt he was when he came home to an ungrateful nation. I have made it my mission to always make sure those in the military know how much I thank them and love them for the sacrifices they have made for out freedoms. No soldier should ever come home to the hateful mess my dad came home to.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Heather, your family (you and your mom, etc) served too. Thank you, your family, and your daddy for his service. Give him a hug from a grateful American, will ya?
Very cool. Well done USMC.From the British Guards.(Scots Guards) Always brothers in arms to us.
Always.
Beyond forever... 2/5 fox co. 06 - 12
From britian part of the acf respect from our brothers overseas 🇬🇧x🇺🇸
@Honeysuckle Blossom I know some great Englishmen!
Honeysuckle Blossom my great grandpa was in WW2 he survived. My uncle was a marine as well as my cousin. My great grandpa died in 2008 when I was 1.
The discipline the strength as a team the comraderie the spirit as one their attitude to what they do is second to none all over the world drill teams differ but they all show one thing a allegiance to their country and a fitting tribute to the team and their unit they represente
Wow! Isn't that great? Love it and appreciate it so much. Thank you one and all for serving our country.
That ripple line was on point. Not that I expected anything less that perfect for these people
That they can stay together on time without an audible reference (band, drum, etc.) is pretty impressive.
rredhawk it’s like there reading each other’s mind lol
This is discipline,hard work and precision at the extreme...Americas Few and Proud at their best...this should be performed on every halftime show!! semper Fi!!!
Yes, and not allow the self-centered, disrespectful players running back onto the field until the Marines have FINISHED with their performance! 🇺🇲
These fellas sure seem flawless, I certainly do appreciate their service. Don't knock the other branches of our armed forces. We are all on the same side. I respect every man and women that wears a US military uniform.
I served in the Air Force, but these Marines bring tears to my eyes. I love their military precision and bearing and they are America's best. It takes a lot of practice and sacrifice to perform faultlessly. Sempre Fi, my comrades.
UUUUUUHHHHH FUCKING RAAAAHHHHHH! The best part about the video is the fact that the WHOLE stadium was QUITE for the entire presentation (an impossible thing to do), now that is respect for our service members.
Easily one of the most impressive displays of discipline and teamwork I have seen. Well done brothers
Wow. Amazing. No verbal commands or cadence? Are you kidding me? Total respect.
A single tear rolled down my daughters cheek. I asked her why she was crying. She said it was because it was beautiful daddy. She thanked me for my service. A tear rolled down my cheek. Hooah thank you for this beautiful performance marines.
Yeah... r/thathappened
This never gets old
Again, it DOES get old, because it IS old.
this is absolutely beautiful. Go Marines
As a current member of the US Air Force JROTC, watching these guys drill is a wonder and all the precise movements and discipline shown is a testament to true skill. I hope that I can get there one day, and proudly serve my country in the Air Force or Marines.
You'll get there! 👍🇺🇲 and my Best Wishes for you whenever you DO!
Having been in the military, I feel enormous pride in this presentation and all our military. It was a wonderful time of my life. 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
I've seen this performance a hundred times. NEVER gets old.
it DOES get old. Because it is old. You just do not grow up.
@@Collateralcoffee your not grown up either. You have no respect for these men if you think it gets old.
watch marching bands is cool, but watching this is fucking impressive and just awesome. this is a true performance to watch.
Thank you for your service Marines!
This is what should be the halftime show at the Superbowl
Agreed no libtard performance
MrFloppy19 agreed
MrFloppy19 ...EVERY halftime show!
O ra !
this is the amazing talent and discipline of the United States Marine Corps
Finally a good halftime break. Semper Fi.
My grandfather was a tank marine commander...not many peeps know what those dance drills represent but...it's a blessing seeing young marines dedicate themselves to perfection it's what started our country marines on ships...minute men in feild....Murica...keep our guns respect our kids in blue black and green...get off your high horses
You can instantly tell when you are watching the best of the best of the best. Razor sharp perfection. Amazing. After seeing that I could not find a way to care any less about the game.
Ooorah devil dogs! Silence is golden. Our drill team is the best. Semper fi. Usmc for life.
I'm so glad we've got so much support for our Army soldiers. God Bless'!!
Uh, don't call a Marine an army soldier. Especially not to their face. Marines are Marines.
@@2HRTS1LOVE We are pretty use to it. lol
@@atomicwedgie8176 My dad was a Marine, he taught me better! 😁
@@2HRTS1LOVE the Marines is a department of the Army.
@@nathanbell8356 No, it's actually a division of the Navy.
My full respect for The Marines Drill Platoon - amazing job …… and I like the silence - make it all some special, right ?!!
Love my Marines! I am honored to be part of that Corps even for the four short years I was active. A priceless experience I have treasured all my life.
You just SAID IT ALL! Wonderful experiences ... Met wonderful people at wonderful places, here and abroad!
Not sure why this brought tears to my eyes so fast...wow this was amazing
Discipline, long hours of "practice-makes-perfect! Semper Fi, my brother Marines ... Well Done! 🇺🇲👍
God bless our men and women in uniform this Memorial Day weekend.
Fuck the women in uniform!....God bless the MEN!...the ones who have died by millions in all the wars in history!....How fucking many woman have died in the fights?, almost NONE!
@@andygonzalez6325
Why would you say that? Are the women lesser, and to blame, and to be looked down upon because they were not allowed to enter military service up until very recently? Why are you blaming women and looking down on them for the fact they were not permitted to go and fight for their country? Nobody is putting the men who fought and died down. Nobody should put women who fought and died down. How dare you disrespect the sacrifice of great patriots? What makes you think we're not allowed to thank them? What makes you think we can only thank the men?
@@pseudonymousbeing987, Only an effeminate feminist like you can come up with such lying dishonest bullshit!..women never have had a gram of courage and stamina to fight and die in fights and battlefield butcheries like the millions of men have throughout the whole human history!...women have no balls ,no guts, no strength to do what men have done in all the battlefields in this planet!...Imagine women in place of men in the battle of Borodino, Stalingrad, Kursk, Berlin, Bulge, Gettysburg, ect, Imagine women wielding 10 pound swords and 20 to 30 pound maces slashing and crushing bones during whole hours in a medieval fight, imagine women carrying 80 to 100 pounds of ammunition and pushing dragging machine guns, anti-tank guns, imagine women seeing their fellows getting torn apart with legs and arms and heads flying all over and blood splattering everything and everyone around, women cannot handle such shit and you are a fucking piece of feminist shit!...Go fuck yourself!...I only honor and respect the MEN like myself who have fought!... I do not fucking respect women for doing office bullshit work in wartime or being away from the real bath blood. Fuck you!
O M G !! not enough words to Describe.. Absolutely Stunning. Gosh darn am so very very proud of those boys. Beautiful.. God bless our military. Am in my 70s & when I see a soldier up close I shake their hand so proudly...
The work these men put into the performance is insane!! Semper Fi Marines!!!
I'm glad they showed closeups of the Marines. I swear I recognize each one of those men as they were all in my Parris Island boot camp platoon in July 1961. Oohrah and Semper Fi,
I'm a Scotsman, hugely proud of our Pipe and Drum bands.
But! Nobody does this stuff better! Incredible precision and timing. Wonderful to watch.
I’m a Scotswoman, and I love this too. There has been an American precision armed marching team in the tattoo but I am not sure it was this team.

Aye, Laddie! 🏴 👍 🇺🇸
My generation is more worried about retweets and hashtags rather then serving, so sad.
Well said!

Not true our generation didn’t need a draft we chose to serve. Current navy

Wow. That's discipline + talent.
God Bless Our Marines.
Why can’t my life be this Perfect!!! Job well done 🙏🏽
Skill level 100. Thats a American hero boy
Wow this is incredible, never seen a thing like it
BADASS Marines Oohrah !
i like how the routine is amazing and it also tells a story of an inspection for recruits.
i mean i’m only a devil pup but inspections sure do look intense in a suspense aspect
Excellent work, men. Salute from a retired Navy Chief.
Thanks for everything, including the rides Chief. They were splendid despite some of us yakking all over your boat, and I'd like to take this time to apologize for licking the windows.
That is absolutely unbelievably awesome! God Bless our US Armed Services!
They give my heart goose bumps.
I Love this! I've never seen the silent drill before!
Brilliant as an ex soldier who couldn't tell left foot from right i admire their skill
Real hero's don't wear their last names on their backs . Salute
Compare it to what you will, this remains an excellent display of precision and discipline.
Only add that officers's show of trust in the end, when they thrust the bayonets near his head. It's such a statement of unity, loyalty and trust. And also of the readiness to sacrifice oneself for his boys from the officer's part.
Love how he brushed his shoulder off at the end 👍
God Bless our Marines
Gotta love the marines. Semper Fi Bros!
As much is it was an honor to be at 8th and I, it's the best and worse place a Marine can be stationed. 110% perfection takes hours of work, sometimes 16 hours straight a day, and the fear of messing up just one small time in the slightest fashion is the highest stress in all to endure. If you think you have a general idea if what it takes to be on this team, multiply it by 10. In this platoon, 100% perfection is slacking.
So imagine your average mortarman etc. The smallest screw up is the difference between killing your enemy and killing your friends.
Given a choice, I would've taken 8th & I any day, it beats dodging bullets & eating sand while inside the sandbox....Semper Fi
@@cowboyjoe5402 True that, but think about this, in order to do 8th and I or any type of embassy duty you must have a main MOS of 03 soooo, it's a double wammy of BS......but a very honorable position indeed!! SF bro
Only thing lower than a Marine is a Submarine.
@@kristyniederkorn1105 Hmm.........clarify as that sounded pretty rude.
This should be every day on America..somewhere.
I don't care how many times I watch these guys do performances it's always amazing. If you've never had to do any type of drill with a weapon you have no idea how difficult what they are doing really is. The dedication, time and talent it takes to be that controlled is very impressive. Wearing cloth gloves doesn't make it any easier, you lose that sense of touch against the weapon.
im australian & i loved watching these strong & proud soldiers. i marched when i was younger so this really got to me. thanks for sharing
We as Texans Salute all military and would love to thank you for your services
Wow amazing perfectly drilled hats off to them respect
Great display of discipline and team work.
Thank you to all our sery men and women.i am so thankful I was not able to serve bc of health issues but my dad served in both the army and the Marines
And not a single Marine over an E4 among them - 'cept the Captain. Shows everyone that every Marine is Exceptional! Semper Fidelis.
Umm....apparently you know USMC rank. But apparently you don't know that MARINES ARE NOT SOLDIERS.
@@VL1975 umm apparently I did not - thank you for pointing out my error.
For the land and of the free 🎖
People have to remember... nothing was free!
Well done men 👏✌
Very smooth marines! Love from your cousins across the ocean 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸
Let's go Marines and Texans!!!
SEMPER FI Brothers, well done as always!
This is dedication, discipline and commitment to perfection.
This is amazing I watched this over and over again
I;;ve seen this live at least a dozen times, each time was just incredible!! SEMPER FI!!!
Always a great job Marines!! Semper Fi!!!
man Robert Harvey love Lara
God Bless America 🌠🌟🌠🇺🇸🌠🌟🌠 Thank You for your service to our United States of America 💫🇺🇸💫we saulte you !!
Breath Taking
There is nothing in the world as beautiful an amazing as a wonderfully arranged, perfectly performed, skilled Drill Team with Arms.
I so miss my sea cadet drill team days.
Was it hard , did you ever mess up?
NYCADVENTUREs TV no where near as hard as this.
WHAT!!!!! Nobody took a knee in protest?????? Outstanding performance.
@Zerras I see. You are not an American.
@Zerras I retired after 23-years. Reverent kneeling is one thing. Protesting our National Anthem in the manner he and the others do is similar to disrespecting the flag.
No one is protesting the troops by kneeling
Ready. Aim. Fire.
If a Marine takes a Knee today he is a Civilian tomorrow...
God bless our sons and daughters that service in the arm forces.
Great demonstation
juste perfection
Bravo gentlemen 👍
Simply incredible!
It's awesome to watch this drill squad doing drills remains me of my drill team years in lanier high school in san Antonio my last year i became drill team commander n we won a lot of trophys for our school i even became commander of the year for 1974 i sure miss those years i serve 6 years in us navy
Holly shit, this is awesome. well done Marines!
Gives me chills. 👍💕
Awesome everytime I see it
MAKES ME CRY AND PROUD!😍
