- Pfc. Justin Oates and Cpl. David Knight, assigned to Lima Co., 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, explain the endurance course, a grueling culminating event that builds upon the skills the learned at the Jungle Warfare Training Center, Okinawa, Japan. The Hawaii-based battalion is attached to 4th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, III Marine expeditionary Force as part of the unit deployment program. Oates is a St. Louis, Mo., native and Knight is a Rocklin, Calif., native.
My son was a Marine. I say was because he passed away in a motorcycle accident. I'm so proud of each and every Marine as if they were my own sons and daughters. Semper Fi.
God bless you
As long as there is the Marine Corps your Son will always be a Marine.

Ruth Dey Sorry for your loss. You have a big family with The Marines here. 🙏
Ruth Dey I’m sorry for your loss, and thank you for the sacrifices your son made to serve in the marines and fight for our freedom God Bless✨
I found this video strangely relaxing.
I know right I could listen to this when I can't fall asleep
Yea I expected to here the Welcome to the Jungle song by Guns n Roses
Its the music
Me too
It's the piano. If they had played Hendrix's 'All Along the Watchtower', you wouldn't have been so relaxed.

+steve USMC NO TOLERANCE Vietnam Vet? I was with 1st Battalion 3rd Marines. You Nam Marines are legends in my unit. I've spent a lot of time in the jungle. Can't imagine how it was for you all during your time. Thank you all. For your sacrifice and giving us a shot to live up to your legend. Semper Fi and Happy Birthday Marine.

Jose Medina my grandfather was in Vietnam, he survived but got something in his liver from the gases
Jose Medina my grandpa did fight in Vietnam and he said he killed the same guy 3 times
Jose Medina my dad served he was fine after but dudes years later due to agent orange

To get this training, get assigned to any 3rd Marine Regiment they are stationed in Hawaii, 1/3 2/3, 3/3. My unit in Viet Nam was 2/3, in the field with Echo 2/3. This was an everyday thing during the Monsoon season. Patrolled neck deep in rivers, jumped out of helicopters under fire in rivers. Brings back plenty of memories.
Once a Marine, Always a Marine, Semper Fi
What was your MOS?
Hello Kapn Ketchup, it was 2511, I did that for the first 3 mo, then went out into the field as a Radio Op for 81 motors
I personally hope to be 1371 someday, but I don't know if I will be able to do it.
Stay positive, in the Corps the word can't is removed from our vocabulary, you WILL do it!!!
Is the 3rd Marine Regiment considered Special Forces?

My uncle retired a Sergeant Major and did 3 tours in Vietnam. Such a boss! And possibly the kindest man you're likely to ever meet. Let's hope some of his ability is in my blood somewhere!
Your best friend. Your worst enemy.
“Idk how they did that for months, I was there for eight days and I was destroyed” .... heroin
You would know
Heroin would literally ruin you physically beyond a few days if you were trekking through the jungle. Of course only a tiny minority of guys were doing drugs at all, but heroin would be pointless.
I went into the Corps in 1957, and after Boot came ITR which included all of those things you are showing here. Glad to see you guys getting back to Marine Corps basics.
Nobody today even knows what ITR even stands for...Semper Fi (ITR at Geiger in '74)
As old is this video is I’m sure no one will see this but I feel compelled to mention this. I was at NTA sometime in 1981 when I was assigned to Echo Co. 2/5. We were stationed at Camp Hanson for a six month deployment during that time. During our training at NTA, one of the instructors SGT Banks was killed while being an aggressor during our 24 hour patrol. Apparently he fell off of some embankment or cliff during the op. Anyway, he was a good dude and I still remember him. May God protect and watch over you active duty Devil Dogs.
Respect and Thanks from Ireland.
I am from india..and i always dreamed of becoming a marine...from childhood.
I love their sacrifice to save people.
They are the real heroes who stay away from there family..just to save everyone.
A big salute to all these heroes.
Armies are everythinh.
Always respect them.
You can join it is a great way to earn citizenship
I remember what my friend told me "In the jungle you will start appreciating the days you are not sick"
kegannff .. true.. unless . You hve medicines or local shaman.. its hell.. when you get sick.
thank you for making these. brings me back. semper fi.
Enlisting in June can't wait...
Anxiety / Helixify did you?
I'm am just now going to meps Wednesday man, I couldn't go earlier because they "enlisted the max amount of graduates" but I'll hopefully be able to enlist upon returning Thursday afternoon!
well good luck dude. im enlisting this upcoming summer when i turn 17. what field did u pick?
Nice man! And I'm finally 18. And 0311 rifleman hopefully 🙏🏼
Anxiety / Helixify thats awesome. yea i was thinking of 0311 or 0331 but tell me how it goes bro.
When I grow up I want to be a marine!
William Elias well shit after 3 years in after school military curriculum and going through senior specialist course getting my staff sergeant rank i love/hate wearing boots and face camo... but meh without the training and shit i went through i wouldnt be the guy that i am today... frog jump up a hill whilst putting my rifle on my neck and carry 50 pounds of gear. to make things worst i just had PT and 2.4km run and i was 15 doing that...
After High School, I am going to enlist. Semper Fi.
+William Elias Maybe don't say a career is worth it when you haven't done it. That said, it's always good to see people with a desire to serve their countries. Remember, though, you don't have to be a Devil Dog to serve. The entire military needs soldiers (Navy, Air Force, Army, Marines, Coast Guard) as well as the defense agencies (which I dream of doing one day because these are the guys that protect us on a daily basis and keep the US competitive - E.g. NSA, CIA, DIA etc.)
Go to college and become an officer. Enlisted is a waste of life. My father was an officer and I can tell you one thing, you'll be going places. A lot of places.
Caden White me too
Time spent digging into Pacific Marines, Vietnam Marines as well as Marines to this very day might open your eyes completely.
The United States Marines and Corpsman that fought in the Pacific are the greatest men that have ever walked the face of this earth.
Went through five months of jungle warfare training in Okinawa in 76. Oh the memories.
If you get a chance to go through this, it is pretty awesome. There's a ton of fun to be had.
Don't expect to do ANYTHING in the jungle without being wet......it's just part of life.......you are either getting rained on..... sweating, or crossing rivers......
be careful and don't get too much weight on the island. one of our esteemed congressman was very concerned that if there was too much weight on the island, IT MIGHT TURN OVER HA, HA HA HO HO HO! this was for Real! keep up your awesomeness and thank you for all you give daily!
That was Guam not Okinawa. Hes also my representative too, got reelected
@@713Tankbuster
Check out the video John Ward did about representative Hank Johnson.
This guy is an absolute idiot which doesn't say much for his constituents if he was re-elected again.
Lucky for us I think he died recently. Unfortunately for us, idiots are still being elected. AOC, Tlaib, Schiff and Pelosi. I notice all the stupid ones are Democrats, surely they can't be the only stupid people in Congress?
I wish I could've done this course. I was thankful that I got to complete my top 3 favorite courses while serving. Infantry squad leaders course, mcmap instructor course, and HRST, but if I had gotten 2 more pics I would've asked to do this course and SERE. To this day I often ask Vietnam vets how they endured that type of environment. They usually respond back with a similar question of how we carried all of gear and weight that we did day in and day out in Iraq and afghan. Two different worlds that sucked the same though. Thank you for your service Vietnam vets. 1/1B & 2/5G 0311 til I die and hike to heaven.
So who wants to bet that old PFC Oates there was NJP'd lmao!
I was wondering the same thing lol!! Way to confident to be a pfc🤣
Or reenlisted to the corps through another branch losing one rank by doing so
@@richardbelden1590 They do that now? When I was in it didnt matter if you were a SSGt in the Airforce, you went to boot camp and came out, at most, a lcpl.
@mtlman90 no you still go through our boot but when you get out youll be one rank lower than youre proir service . so gunny to ssgt or cpl to lcpl so on ive never seen it personally but i know its possible
The mustache says it all...
Wow!!! Don't disturb the Plexiglas...

Expected Guns ‘n’ Roses, wasn’t disappointed
I received my training in NTA in 1979 while with 3rd RECON B Co. 2nd plt. Great training.
I remember the NTA on Okinawa. Back in Aug74 to Sep75, we had a lot of Marines to attend Jungle Training at NTA. What was funny about it, I was from H&S Bn, 3rd Force Service Regiment. I was a 3531 Truck Driver/ 0151 Admin - Personnel... a POG. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant...love to be 19 yrs old again.
Thanks Sherwood Shackelfordii for sharing this awesome video of what our Marine son Ty goes through. I truly appreciate you. Your amazing.Thanks Shari
I did it in '92. The rumor was that the course was designed by Col. Oliver North. Don't know if that is true or not. We carried our issue rifles. We had blanks and did ambush immediate actions drills. My rifle got so full of mud the bolt carrier got stuck which made the rod in the blank firing device blow out the front!
One year behind you, did it twice, '93 and '95 with 1/3.
If I ever showed up to formation with a mustache as a PFC, my platoon Sgt would have ripped it off of my face.
We weren't allowed to grow facial hair until we were at least Corporals. Even then we were taking a risk.
Semper Fi! Be safe and God bless!
I have so much appreciation and respect for any troop that fought in a jungle.
NTA!! LOVED IT, HELPED ME WHEN WE WENT PANAMA TO FT. "S" ( SHERMAN OR SHERIDAN). THEN WENT TO FT.DRUM BEFORE GOING TO NORTHER NORWAY.
I'M 64 NOW, BUT LORD WHEN I WAS YOUNGER!! SEMPER FI!!
Nothing like going to the jungle and getting ball rash from your belly to your knees.
Vietnam 68-69, Semper Fi Marines!
Those are some super sweet mustaches 3/3, you boys make me proud, NTA was gnarly, especially being used to the desert like we were.
My great Grandpa was a Marine during ww2, He was on Guadalcanal and in Leyte, where he met my great grandma
He was NJP'd lol
LiberalsArePigs lmao for what?
That moustache??
"Not too wet."
As they're in a pool.
Not just the humidity and rain, but the animals in the jungle. My dad always tells me about his cousin who served in Nam. Apparently there was this man eating tiger who was stalking there unit. One day he was patrolling and heard something behind him, and he ended up dropping the tiger with his M16.
Those brave men who fought and died in the jungle were willing to do anything to win no matter what.
Me: * PoP* nOiCe
Also me: * Has Vietnam flashback*
Okinawa huh...trust me, it's way way way hotter down South....go to Taiwan, Philippine, Vietnam or other South East Asia countries while wearing kevlar, and you will have heatstroke in no time....
You're right about that. Philippines is a hell of a lot more humid.
I was in the Philippines in January.
So damn hot and humid that when it rained you just put your arms up so you could get cooled off a little.
I was deployed with VMA-332 to NAS cubi Point in Subic Bay. They contracted local Nationals Filipinos to wash the aircraft. They were wearing the normal gear boots coveralls goggles and big black rubber gloves., out in the sun on a flight line that must have been about 135 degrees.
Pretty sure they were the only ones fit for this environment. Beastly!
@@desertodavid I was at cubi pt. At upper mef camp for 3 weeks,u r right,ghastly humidity.
As a new Marine Staff Sergeant I used to run the Hills alone while deployed to Cubi Point, Republic of the Philippines. I remember the upper MEF well.
I'd only been there about a week when a lone monkey sitting on top of a fence was watching me run by.
He jumped down and disappeared into the jungle. I was skeptical.
Sure enough he returned down the way with about a dozen of his cousins, homies, friends and fellow thugs. I was scared I was about to get mugged.
The only thing I could think was just keep running ( a little faster), don't look at them and definitely don't smile! To a monkey that's a sign of aggression.
This was 1983. I had heard that the grunts were called in to thin out the monkeys because they were overpopulated and really creating Havoc on the bay. The survivors held a grudge and never forgot.maybe they thought I was too tough for them!😆🤷🏻♂️
Semper Fi!
@@desertodavid semper fi brother,and happy birthday.
amazing, what a privilege to participate in this course
some of the best training I've received was from jungle warfare training center, one of the few I enjoyed completely.
People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.”
George Orwell
Orwell didn't quite say it like that, but yeah, that's basically what he wanted to say.
wait so you didn't even play the Guns N' Roses song in the background?
The pond really reminds me of a field trip in 5th grade where we would trek through a mile of waist-high mud. I’m beginning to think it was to prepare us for this if we ever decide to join the Marines.
IT WAS CALLED NORTHERN TRAINING AREA IN1965.
ARRIVED OKINAWA IN JAN. 65, 4 MONTHS LATER CHU LAI, VIETNAM.
DIDN'T GET SHOT AT IN OKINAWA, LOVED THE GIRLS THERE.
OOH-RAH
If you live there, it wouldn't be the problem at all. The main issue in Vietnam war is nobody ask the local for help.
what about the South Vietnamese Marines and army? I thought they played a big role and helping the Americans move around South Vietnam
Wanna elaborate my fellow tree?
I am lorax, I speak for the trees
The trees say something in vietnamese
You are the best soldiers, Thank you for your effort, dedication, sacrifice and commitment. God bless you🙏🙏❤️❤️
There is not a Marine in thus world that likes to be called a soldier. It's like calling a puerto rican mexican or vise versa.
Went through JWTC back in 2002 one of the most beneficial training I’ve ever went through while in the Corps. Wet and miserable while at TC-4, good-times.
It's funny to hear it called JWTC. In '93, we called the place NTA.
In my days with 4th Marines in Camp Schwab our units would go there for 28 days. After 28 days you couldnt tell if it was you tha smelled so bad or the guy next to you. I understand they have now given this area back to Okinawa so the Marine Corps will have to find a jungle training area.
Frank Tulumello we still train there don't worry lol
Is there still Jungle warfare school on Guam?
Pretty salty PFC Oates. mustache and all LOL
seriously...I was like pfc?
retread PFC
I like KFC
I suspect maybe he got busted. I remember a Marine PFC (with a mustache) in 1979 that was a real rebel. I liked his tenacity. But as a SGT I couldn't endorse his actions. He was generally viewed as a shitbird.
I say, long live the shitbirds‼️ Come to think of it, I was one until I made SGT. But I was still a rebel.
While in Japan in 1983 I had a Gunny tell me when I asked why a fellow Staff Sergeant had not been promoted, that in Vietnam said Marine was a shit bird. But when the shit hit the fan, it was Tom, the shit bird and other shit birds that you could rely on and trust over everyone else.😳
Watching while working my Nightshift at a nursing home. We have a Vietnam veteran. Makes me feel emotional that he went through that at such a young age 🥲
I expected a military training video with Welcome to the Jungle. I still wasn’t disappointed
Tough times don't last tough people do, P.S. wet BDU's weigh about 30lb.S then add gear
Cant wait to do this. I'll put my homelessness to use lol jk
Did this course back in January '08. Very wet, and very cold. At the end of the E Course we were all so dirty the instructors/staff took a firehose to us. Following week we went to Korea. Man, I knew I could never complain about the cold again after that!
My dad was a first day lander on Tarawa, 2nd Marines Red 2……wounded twice on the third day…..after his hospital stay he was attached to CV11, the USS Intrepid as a gunner….seriously wounded on 25 November 1944 when Kamakazis hit the deck of the Intrepid….he was filled with shrapnel….very dangerous day for the Navy and Marine Corps.
R.I.P Everyone Who Died In Vietnam (1968-1974)🇺🇸💜
All due respect, the Marine Corps lost 2 Embassy Marines killed in April 1975, during a firefight at Tan Son Nhut AFB, during the Evacuation of Saigon. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant.
because back then men handle business
I'm 12 and plan on being a marine corp, people tell me I'm just young and that's what I think but the corp generally gives me motivation to be stronger and better thank you all for serving, Semper Fi.
I was with 4th Marine regiment 3rd marine division from 2006 to 2008.
I honestly miss this place.
5 miles? 30 obstacles? Sounds fun
The E-course looks heavily inspired by the royal marines' endurance course which is the first of 4 commando tests - looks like great training
It is. I did this course in '93.
Being born in a tropical country would make that course easier to get through the hardships.
I went through it when the training area was called the Northern Training Area (NTA) back in 1990. We didn't have safety lines on the two and three rope bridges, didn't have one on the commando craw either. You either held on or you fell.
Yup! I did it in 84 and it sucked! Good times!
This is sooooooo inspiring
When you're a vietcong soldier and the m16s start speaking fortunate son
Great editing
Me: *watches video*
American soldier: Are those trees speaks Vietnamese?
Too bad the US Military don't use Ft.Sherman in Panama anymore.My unit lived in the jungle mostly because the barracks were next to it.The weather in Panama is hot humid and the jungle there is terrible that's why the US Army loved the place.Units of all branches of the US Military trained there.Majority of the units that go through were Marine Infantry,Army Airborne,Air Assault,Special Operations and Light Infantry.The 3rd Special Forces were the cadre who taught jungle survival classes there.Units would spend a month training there.My unit would be the aggressor force there.We would insert into the school either by parachute or air assault in.
reddevilparatrooper the best jungle training! Panama.
And JWS on Guam
reddevilparatrooper I trained at ft sherman and shaggers river was used as a joke on marines by army trainers. Telling us sharks were in the river,when they were clearly dolphins.....
Did it decommissioned under the Panama Canal Treaty?
My respects, I currently live in Panama, here is the so-called green hell
1:42 and Pause. Is the fourth guy using an AK?
Lol
Yup Its Ak Brow !
There rubber guns m8

The pacific theater is the definition of hell
0: 36 That one water fountain that no one is allowed to drink out of during boot camp.
echo 2/4 Vietnam 68/69
2:04 US MARINE HOLD AN AK47 INSTEAD OF A M16?
looks like an m16 with a stock cover
jos it actually IS an AK
In that climate, id rather have the AK, i have read histories about the 5.56 getting deflected by the thick folliage, and well.
And well, field-stripping an AK is far easier than an AR, so thats something i would consider too, there is mud everywhere
I did JWTC last year in June. Not a bad course, parts of it were pretty fun, although it rained on us the whole week.
wow thats really heartfelt and emotional the training must be really tough on them.
I cannot wait till I'm 18 as soon as I get out of highschool I'm going straight to the marines and I also can't weight till next year I'm in 9th so I can join ROTC 😁😁
what branch is it?
NavatheBeast anyone?
SupaSpartan Gaming Me, Nava is so inspiring. I saw his video of him in the Jungle Warfare Training Center.
? ?? heck yeah! I was just browsing when I found this, and immediately remembered Nava's video!

They aren't real.
Did you not hear him say "carrying around a rubber rifle" one second earlier?
@@Jupltus yeah no, thats metal, no way thats a rubber gun, i have handled those and theyre almost solid
@@A-G-F- They're nicknamed Rubber rifles, or rubber ducks. They're not functioning weapons, but have true weight. We used those rubber rifles during training courses such as this at the NTC, so that we didn't ruin our service weapons.

I remember training at NTC! What a nasty snake spider infested jungle with so much fun out there. So much fun!
I Love the marines, but compare to the jungle training the French foreign legion has its nothing to compare to this. This looks like a camp to have fun for the weekend.
Lol that's cool
+Fernando Descailleaux Have you seen the Foreign Legion in combat in Mali? Jesus. It's like getting thrown in Satan's bowling pot of soup and and leaning back like it's a damned hot tub. Those mother fuckers are frightening.
+Fernando Descailleaux Cool, no one cares.
Cool, so dont comment on it.
FFL is where Paras go when they grow up.
They do all this training and have a chance of dying...
Shy Guy what is your point? They do this training for a lower chance i dying
This is my favorite war..
Jungle and mountain.
Our fathers didnt COMPLAIN. My father never told me not to catch the snake. My father told me which snakes have VENOM. As a Woman raised Military I never wimpered, complained or whined. I was taught COMMUNITY is EVERYTHING. And in a wild wonderful way, love your Brothers. Your Mothers. Your Sisters. AND PUSH!! GO USA!
*Laugh in s.east asian*
Bring back memories!
To be honest, I loved this when I did it a few years ago.
Thank you for fighting for my freedom
