Joining the marines in 2000-2009 was a crazy time to join the marines. You just know your getting sent to a combat zone. RIP to the fallen soldiers that served during those years.
@@TrelltheGreat i look at it like yeah it’s an overall good thing that we aren’t in any pointless wars, but i totally understand where you guys are coming from. I graduate in may and I wanted to go infantry but idk bc if we don’t go to war, then what’s the point 😬
I prayed for war in 97. I do not feel disgusted that I got it. I do feel disgusted that are people died. I tried my best. Shooting the enemy didn't feel as good as I thought it would. Long shots that took felt good and satisfying but it was never enough. Im 43 and have three children fighting age. Two girls and its uncanny to me that they could become infantry like their father. I do not pray for war these days. I'm terrified for them. I'll die today for my country regardless if its mission was not for freedom. I loved Iraq until I didn't. My children are not like me and I will send them to Canada before I let a politician send them to war. I love my strong American men and women. I'm truly proud when I see a small family tribe succeed. I love are American kids and I would die for any of them. Even comfortable warm wealth permanently and totally disabled in mind but not body. I want us so very badly to succeed. I killed for it I volunteered to do that. My kids didn't. I'm sorry I went off on a rant. Lost my point. I love my country and its eccentric. I feel the eyes upon me. Though you needed me to clear 50 fuc%ing houses a day in Ramadi and I have conflict. It was a privilege and I would of done it for free. Whats funny as I age the beautiful memories hurt the most. I miss the situations when were human. Young idealistic aggressive obedient men falling down a hill on Pendleton was the best. It was a privilege to have such men in my life. At times I did not give my all but most times I gave more then I had. That was not rare among even the lackadaisical infantry Marines. Semper Fi
Looking back at my time as a grunt, I only remember the good events. I know there were many bad, grueling and miserable times, but you get a tighter bond with your brothers. That’s why they call it “The Suck”. You have to embrace it, get through it, and look back on it fondly. When my son joined the Corps, I told him not to be infantry, but this was only because I wanted him to have a career when he got out. Grunts limit your career path, and I’m proof of that. I wouldn’t change a thing. I love the Marine Corps, all my brethren who have served, and are still serving. Semper Fi-Rah!!!
@@diegoreyes3201 - Once you’ve been in for a bit, maybe get a deployment under your belt, yes. At first, you’ll be doing the longest hours, all the dirty work, PT’s and field ops all the time, classes, and so on. Depending on your unit, you can get off from lets say 1100-1700 and even that can change. You won’t be able to get much done college wise but you still see some people with second jobs. Pick up rank, seniority/experience, and deployments and you’ll have more time for that.
As an 0369 Platoon Sergeant retired can say that Infantry Marines are unique. Our work tempo is overwhelm combined with training. You have to be strong physically and mentally, because we spend a lot of time training (In the field away from home). Again is not easy, but worth it. Semper Fi
your not at war until you are. War could be a week away and you would never know it. Infantry training is a reflection of that idea at any moment war could break out and Marines are expected to be the best so you push harder every day in training. Infantry every day "what can I do to improve myself" and my fellow Marines and we owe it to each other to be the best
So if I join the marine corps there’s more of a chance that I won’t be sent off to combat? By the way your vids are great bro! Thank you for your service 💪
Some guy you’ve probably seen before , Yeah especially because it’s not war time. But your more likely to see combat if you were to join the Army or something. And thank you I just try to help as much as I can.
Manny CWL , They see more combat because they get more missions. And if there ever was a major war again, the Marines as always will be the first ones in the fight💪🏽
If you're deployed to a combat zone that simply means you are going to be where fighting is. Doesn't mean you will see combat, it simply means you're going to an area where combat has/is occurring.
Jeremiah Baker do you know anything about the marsoc? Like how hard it is and do you have to see combat before being able to join and how long you have to serve before going and how do you join?
Wyatt Prinz I wasn’t criticizing you or anything I was asking the Jeremiah how hard it was to get into marsoc I could see how it came off as like “you don’t know anything”
I get what you mean. You go through all that training and put your body through a shit ton of stress as an infantryman for nothing. You’re in peace time, so it sounds like it feels like you’re putting yourself through hell for no real purpose and that there’s really no reason for you to be doing that to yourself when you’re never gonna be used anyways
Great job with the videos, keep it up man. Do you think joining the USMC reserves as infantry would've been a better fit? Wouldn't you have gotten the training opportunities you wanted without the life you're describing in the video. And if we ever went from peace time to war time, i'm pretty your you'd have the opportunity to get deployed, right?
I don't know why people are thinking about going to the military while not having the mindset to endure everything physically and mentally. it's the military ofc you will be treated as a number unless you distinguish yourself from others.
ASMR society’s outcasts , I’m surprised no one has asked this yet. So it was kind of around still when I first hit the fleet in 2017, but it is absolutely not tolerated at all anymore. Of course there’s no way you can stop everyone from hazing someone but the Marine Corps has started implementing some ways to ensure everyone knows exactly what it is. And not only that but how to stop and prevent it. But to answer your question, no not anymore, so u don’t have to worry about that. Hope that helped.
I enlisted in 2010 and was able to deploy to Afghanistan and even a MEU so I got to do both type of deployments. You don’t get to choose your deployments peacetime Marine or wartime. I know some Marines who have been in their whole career and never had a combat deployment. It sucks I know especially when you hear stories about it and want to put the training into real life action. But you deal with what cards are given. Hell I give it to you Peacetime Marines having to do a lot more in the rear and everything. Your still a grunt no matter where you deployed and still when through the suffrage of field ops and humps. 2/2 Warlords & 3/4 Marines were my units.
Does marine infantry see much if any combat nowadays? I’ve read they do get deployed but act as more security for the base and don’t leave as most missions are carried out almost exclusively by special operations guys. Love your videos btw, they offer great insight to marine life and I’m considering joining
I did four years as a pog and got out as a Cpl, however it’s been sitting on my mind that I should’ve done infantry instead. But I wouldn’t go back and go through soi and be treated like shit again unless war breaks out and shit hits the fan. Do you think it’s ideal to lat move to infantry during time of war, even though I’m Cpl already. I would not know how to look at myself if the ones out there doing the fighting and I’m in the side lines. I want to be there this time, when the time is necessary and they need people.
Thanks for the video! I’ve been trying to find a 2019 infantrymen video and see what the infantry is up to. I was planning on joining and trying out for scout snipers, do you know if they are getting any more action? And, if infantry isn’t worth it, is there any MOS that you’ve seen that looks promising rn?
they drank the kool-aid , Honestly they are not. No one is we are all just sitting here waiting. Waiting for the call to war that may never happen. Most of the other jobs outside the infantry are pretty good. But of course every job has its down falls. Maybe try to check out, Admin, PMO, or Supply. But whatever you do decide good luck and make sure to give it your all.
Trell the Great Thank you, I’ll be proud to be a marine whatever job I choose. And I appreciate infantry even if y’all aren’t deployed, I might see you out there!
they drank the kool-aid, Yeah bro no problem, just let me know where you get stationed at. I’ll help make sure you get whatever you’re trying to achieve in the Marine Corps.
Michael Diaz , So I’m a Mortarman and we use FOs to get on our tgt. And I’ve done it before and it’s a pretty cool job. So you’ll basically be attached to an infantry unit. Same with the other to but you won’t really be doing anything. Personal I hate dealing with radios and stuff so😂. But Mortor T sure I guess would be cool if you just want to drive big trucks but I think FO is definitely the best out of the three. Hopefully that was some help.
Damn I see everyone complaining in the military. I’ve been on the civilian side my whole life. You think this shits any better? Every day sucks out here too lol. Be honored to be apart of some thing meaningful. Life just sucks in general lol.
@@TrelltheGreati think i wanna do infantry jus cuz i wanna learn how to be a warrior. and as much as infantry marines go thru it they become men that are rarely found.
I was trying to decide between active 03xx infantry or reserve 0861 forward observer, I think this video helped me make my decision. I'm gonna go the reserve route. I'm curious though, what do infantrymen think of ANGLICO forward observers? I would do reserve infantry if I could but there's no reserve infantry unit near me for the Marines but there is an ANGLICO unit and being an FO seems pretty badass too.
John Black , Yeah man I’m actually a Mortarman, 0341, and we use FO’s to get on target. So being a Air Naval Gun FO would be bad ass. I say go for it man and I think that’s a great plan.
Yeah it kinda sucks, it is a little bit miserable....You got it! Welcome to the Infantry be it Marine or Army. It is The Life of that MOS. Welcome to the Hardcore, welcome to the JOB. Infantry is extreme physical effort all the time. The Military will teach you how to kill, and in many ways. You up for it, good to go. Great MOS. There are so many other jobs in the Military for those of you interested in joining whatever branch. Look into it. You want to be a welder/pipefitter? yeah they got those jobs too. Not all military enlistments mean combat. Most jobs (MOS...military occupational specialty) are far removed from combat.
How can you be a welder in the usmc? I have an infantry contact but i have knee bursitis and tendonitis which i need to recover from before bootcamp. Which is in 3 months.
@@TrelltheGreat I'm the opposite of you haha. I'm an admin Marine wishing I was in infantry! I wanna do something adventurous while in the Marines instead of working a 9-5 job. I feel like when I get out of the Marines I'm gonna have the most uninteresting military career ever. I am still considering trying to switch to infantry after my two year mark but idk, people and fellow Marines have been trying to talk me out of it saying that it's "not what it seems".
I joined the marine corps, I signed... graduated booty camp, and am going to itb Jan 14, I’m on ra right now, I heard my life is gonna sick in the corps, I’m glad to be a marine but heard it’s gonna suck ass, how’s itb? Is the fleet gonna suck for me, I want to go 0341 bit will most likely go 0311
Justin Shrug , I’m not going to say it necessarily sucks but it’s definitely going to be hard at times. It’s also going to suck at times but overall it’s not just the end of the world. I wouldn’t stress about it.
I’m just going in as of 2024 infantry. I’m pretty sure at the time we are at now and the rate we are going I’ll be a war time marine. We not at war right now but world war 3 is around the corner in my opinion
Were you ever regretful that you might die if you ever saw combat. Like cool you finally went to war but you'll never come back home. Would you regret not coming back home
Honestly I’m losing weight and getting ready to join soon I want to do infantry for the experience I don’t mind not going to war if anything I’m grateful for that. Im okay with work and operations they do. Im also going infantry because ik its gonna build me better mentally. I can always change my mos after 2 years of infantry right?
But why you said that you don’t do nothing like you don’t get deployed and being in combat in patrol it’s a question🤨 can anybody tell me that a question 😂
Trell the Great nice vid and congrats I’m 23 thinking about goin in.. not sure tho but heard army you can rank up faster but I love Marines uniforms way better it’s a lot to think on also are you on a ship mainly or land
Ghostx141x Gaming , So the only time you’ll be on a ship is on a deployment so u don’t really have to worry about that. And yeah it is true you will rank up faster in the Army probably. But like you said we look better doing it.
Mike r , It's cool being a black belt in all but some people don't actually earn it. Some people just buy it so they can wear it to look cool. I'm a black belt and the process to get it kinda sucks, that's why so many people just buy it instead. And another thing if you don't do anything to keep up with the things you learn, then you'll forget or loose some of it.
Good question. I've read that infantry can't do college because of their training but then there's infantry people that say they don't do much all day. Can we please get an inside perspective? A more recent one that is.
@@Texas_Armed210 that’s funny bcuz ur mum requested me to build her a toy to use for fun, kinda odd tho, would be painful to use, but I guess that’s what she’s into!
Man, I'm having a tough time, I can't. Akers up my mind on weather or not I want to enlist in infantry or the marines at all, how did you decide and what would you do to help decide
Honestly you just said the same thing about the infantry for 5 minutes that you could have said in 30 seconds... that's a marine for you... lack of promise and no substance
Trell the Great Lol, Ok. Maybe a couple of videos would change your mind: ruclips.net/video/M64DsjYF_ms/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/zjdGDestx3Y/видео.html. Watch them and tell me what do you think. 😄😂🤣 Think that they’re hilarious and it would be funny if you tried to start that trend with your marines mates? But if not, then I’ll respect your wish. 😇 See you later! 😎
i'd make a good infantry marine , i'm use to so much stress from my very younger days and now a days i can hike for miles and i can make a fire with flint and steal , i'm very good at shooting rifles , i can only do 4 pull ups tho ( my goal is scout sniper btw ) what else should i do to prepare ( also i'm not old enough yet to join)
Prepare your mind for situations that suck, start challenging your mind to do things you hate example runing 2 to 3 miles in the snow or rain also prepare your mind to be yelled at prepare your mind to confort people who are better
Same. I'd rather die than lose my limbs. When I watch combat headcams in like Afghanistan I get anxiety when they walk around and there's like piles of duty everywhere.
Joining the marines in 2000-2009 was a crazy time to join the marines. You just know your getting sent to a combat zone. RIP to the fallen soldiers that served during those years.

Justin Shrug , I’m not going to say it necessarily sucks but it’s definitely going to be hard at times. It’s also going to suck at times but overall it’s not just the end of the world. I wouldn’t stress about it.
When i went to ITB in 2005, you didnt get a choice. You went with which ever specialty they gave you.
Don't do it. USMC infantry sucks
Are the days the same even on deployment?
I’m just going in as of 2024 infantry. I’m pretty sure at the time we are at now and the rate we are going I’ll be a war time marine. We not at war right now but world war 3 is around the corner in my opinion
Were you ever regretful that you might die if you ever saw combat. Like cool you finally went to war but you'll never come back home. Would you regret not coming back home
Honestly I’m losing weight and getting ready to join soon I want to do infantry for the experience I don’t mind not going to war if anything I’m grateful for that. Im okay with work and operations they do. Im also going infantry because ik its gonna build me better mentally. I can always change my mos after 2 years of infantry right?
What’s your pubs account name?
Benjamin Castaneda , Haven’t played in a while but when I hop back on I’ll let you know
why didn’t you look into special operations?
You still didn’t really talk about the life as an infantry marine & what they y’all doing. You just talked down on it the whole vid. Smh
My question is i'm always writing music. Can I have music equipment in my room cause if not its a no for me
Do you know if your unit is deploying
Luke McDonald , Yeah you’re going to do at least two deployments with your unit.
Trell the Great where are you going?
Luke McDonald , I can’t tell you exactly
Can’t you volunteer for deployment?
Luke McDonald , Yes some units allow you to volunteer for deployments
Trell the Great have you?
Luke McDonald , No personally I haven’t but people in my unit have
Trell the Great have any of them gotten the chance to deploy? Btw thanks for answering all my questions😂
Luke McDonald , Oh it’s no problem man that’s what I’m here for and yeah a couple guys did end up leaving
I know this is late and your out now but my question is were you ever offered to volunteer for Recon?
3112 best mos
💪🏽
Is this going to change now that we are back in iraq?
Hawaii Boiz , Can’t really day no one knows the future but if it continues to go like this. Stuff might change really fast.
Trell the Great okay thanks for the response man. Stay safe out there 🤙🏼💪🏼
Hawaii Boiz , No problem bro, and I’ll try
But why you said that you don’t do nothing like you don’t get deployed and being in combat in patrol it’s a question🤨 can anybody tell me that a question 😂
Well we’re in a constant war on terror right?
What rank are you bro
Ghostx141x Gaming , Lcpl hopefully picking up Cpl December 1st🤞🏽
Trell the Great nice vid and congrats I’m 23 thinking about goin in.. not sure tho but heard army you can rank up faster but I love Marines uniforms way better it’s a lot to think on also are you on a ship mainly or land
Ghostx141x Gaming , So the only time you’ll be on a ship is on a deployment so u don’t really have to worry about that. And yeah it is true you will rank up faster in the Army probably. But like you said we look better doing it.
Are you allowed to get a part job as a civilian during this “down time”?
Junior Guz , Yeah to a certain extent. As long as it doesn’t interfere with your work.
It’s like a guy having a 10th degree black belt so no one fucks with him because they all know it, you guys are Americans black belt
Mike r , It's cool being a black belt in all but some people don't actually earn it. Some people just buy it so they can wear it to look cool. I'm a black belt and the process to get it kinda sucks, that's why so many people just buy it instead. And another thing if you don't do anything to keep up with the things you learn, then you'll forget or loose some of it.
Is it hard to try to get a degree if your in infantry in the marines
Good question. I've read that infantry can't do college because of their training but then there's infantry people that say they don't do much all day. Can we please get an inside perspective? A more recent one that is.
So in infantry now in June don’t do nothing
Not any war type stuff
when can new marines fresh out of boot camp get to grow their hair out? Is it during itb or after when you graduate itb?
Alexander Garcia , Yeah after bootcamp you can
Trell the Great alright cool thanks for the info man. Stay safe
Alexander Garcia , No problem
you want to become a "jar head" and you're worried about growing out your fucking hair? i don't think this is for you son...join the fucking navy
So I know the waiting part can be a bitch but you still get paid, right?
Yep
Language bro , and we dont need no marines having sex with their legos here , thank
You and goodbye….
@@Texas_Armed210 that’s funny bcuz ur mum requested me to build her a toy to use for fun, kinda odd tho, would be painful to use, but I guess that’s what she’s into!
@@legofreakproductions6010 congratulations, being the youngest person in this comment section
Man, I'm having a tough time, I can't. Akers up my mind on weather or not I want to enlist in infantry or the marines at all, how did you decide and what would you do to help decide
It’s been 4 weeks have you made up your mind?
@@chaseochoa7158 no I havent, it's a difficult decision and I dont know why
American ToJo I’m 15 and hoping to join the marines but I cannot figure out how you get into marsoc and how hard it is
@@chaseochoa7158 I understand
American ToJo do you know what you do on deployment?
Can Infantry Marines participate in a sport?
No kap the game play is kinda funny
Honestly you just said the same thing about the infantry for 5 minutes that you could have said in 30 seconds... that's a marine for you... lack of promise and no substance
Thanks for the criticism
Were there a lot of nut checking and nurpling? 🤔😄
Daniel Dulivero , No lol
Trell the Great Ah, you should start that trend to make you and others laugh and have a good time doing that. 😄
Daniel Dulivero , Idk about that😂. At least not the trend of nut checking and nurpling
Trell the Great Lol, Ok. Maybe a couple of videos would change your mind: ruclips.net/video/M64DsjYF_ms/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/zjdGDestx3Y/видео.html. Watch them and tell me what do you think. 😄😂🤣
Think that they’re hilarious and it would be funny if you tried to start that trend with your marines mates?
But if not, then I’ll respect your wish. 😇
See you later! 😎
man pray to who ever you pray so u dont expirience COMBAT!!!! Bambooclatt!!!!!
You use the marines to your advantage
i'd make a good infantry marine , i'm use to so much stress from my very younger days and now a days i can hike for miles and i can make a fire with flint and steal , i'm very good at shooting rifles , i can only do 4 pull ups tho ( my goal is scout sniper btw ) what else should i do to prepare ( also i'm not old enough yet to join)
Get into boxing at rustic gym. Don’t go to those pretty and nice ones. Go to one with history.
Toughen up
@@thefeverdream okay I'll do that , anything else??
@@mcbins1993 I would sign up for Spartan races if you’re old enough
@@thefeverdream alright , do you think MMA would help ??
Prepare your mind for situations that suck, start challenging your mind to do things you hate example runing 2 to 3 miles in the snow or rain also prepare your mind to be yelled at prepare your mind to confort people who are better
4:50 😂
lol
What Marine Corps MOS do you use explosives and blow alot of stuff up?
JRKolstad1000 , The infantry in general gets to do that
Combat engineer
I was 2311
Horrible breaching.
Infantry trains for war.
Only thing I fear is ied's
Same. I'd rather die than lose my limbs. When I watch combat headcams in like Afghanistan I get anxiety when they walk around and there's like piles of duty everywhere.

Best video you can watch if you wanna see life as infantry first hand -> ruclips.net/video/oOLxmuCZH0w/видео.html
Man you're not a real Marine I'm a VIETNAM vet, don't down what you don't know. You are not built to be a Marine.
You probably got drafted 😂 be quiet old man.
But he’s a marine! Wtf you sayi’n old man? Yeah u prolly got drafted and just took credit and pride lol.
@@user-gi6iy2hk6i That's what I'm saying 😂
Yeah right, you were probably a shit burner, not a real Marine.
