Its because the Marines budget is based on what the Navy breaks off for them
True . I was in the navy . My first ship was an older class that was nearing retirement , and we got the older gear . My second ship was stateof the art and we got all the new tech . The navy puts their money where they see fit , and oftentimes the Marines get underfunded .
Go Navy, Fly Navy 🇺🇲
@@victorwaddell6530 true. I went from the Eisenhower to the WASP. Huge difference. I was in repair division. We had a large maintenance budget on the IKE. The WASP is a amphib, so it has a tiny budget.
@@lonner98 my wife is on the Ike as we speak
@Master Catnip the Asvab is same for all but my gt was actually less in the marines than what it was In the other branches so fair 2 say in marines its actually harder 2 get a high gt score cuze mine was 106 in army and on the marine section it said 100 .
My 18 yr old son just completed the crucible yesterday...1-16-2021...he is now a United States Marine ! 🇺🇸👊🏼
nice
hooah. good job marine
Nice
I didn't even realize they were still doing the crucible. Oorah
@@jackiechance795 No doubt that it’s been watered down 🙄 but I’m still very proud !
I still stay at military lodging when I travel (USA RET). What I've learned is the Marines have deserts, the Army has swamps and pine trees, the USAF has golf courses and the Navy, beaches.
The navy has the best bases if you're into living on the coast and hanging out at the beach on liberty .
@@victorwaddell6530 if you're into being on a boat for half a year lol
@@thepuddingking5204 Yeah , there are the six month deployments and sea duty assignments in between . At least we sailors get Liberty in foreign ports from time to time . I've been on Liberty in Australia , Thailand , Hong Kong , Spain , The UAE , among many other places around the globe . Better than getting to visit the local suq on occasion while sweating in the sandbox . The chow on navy ships is usually better than MREs and regular army rations . Navy sailors E4 and above stationed on ships get sea pay . Serving on a warship isnt for most people , though . Inmates in prison probably have more living space and get more sleep .
Pretty much lol
"Marine Corps does everything as cheap as possible." Yup, here's a little story for ya:
I was stationed at one of the gates in Camp Pendleton (the midway point between the one leading to Oceanside and the furthest North gate, it's been over a decade, don't remember the name) while I was working with PMO in '07. A huge convoy of brand new Army humvees drives through the gate. 5 minutes later, another huge convoy of brand new Air Force humvees follows. It starts to rain, and 5 minutes later a convoy of Marine Corps humvees come through.
The lead vehicle had strings tied to the windshield wipers, and in order to operate them, the driver would pull one string, and then the front passenger would pull the other to bring them back down. Over and over. My fellow Marines and I on the gate saw this, and we were like, "Yeah, seems about right." It was the perfect illustration.
So true, when I was stationed in camp foster okinawa our humvees had no tops so we had to carry ponchos. 🤣
It rains alot there
Not like that anymore. Guard and reserve units are pretty run down, some still use M16A2s
If you think you got it bad.. remember the NG... NOBODY LOVES US.
@@eckasas cause NG has it easy
@@MeekMeek tell that to my ankles and my knees.. oh and don't forget the back.. I am skinny as F yet a machinegunner for the last 4 years and reuped too.. :D I hope my ankles hold up..
When I was active in the Marine Corps we used to always say "I have done so much with so little for so long, I am now qualified to do absolutely everything with nothing at all".
now that sums it up. good one.
And that is why most of us become successful we accomplish more by accident than most accomplish intentionally.
Thats an Army philosophy to! 75-78.
USAF guy here. Usually, we see the Marines “tactfully acquire” our gear when they need assistance. It’s funny for sure.
lol. that sounds right on the money. It not stealing if you need it and the Army has it, right?
Marine Air Wing here and that's absolutely true. When we'd visit an AF base we always came back with newer and better gear than we came with, ha, ha.
You had what we needed. And you traded. I went to Chanute AFB for NDT school, 10 AF/3Marines, Air Force failed, we passed.
Try being in the Army then seeing how airmen live, talk about about a difference in spending
I actually did talk with a few dudes in the airforce... I gad to look up the fucking words they were saying hahhahaha
Yea it’s a different world
In ww1 & ww2 being in the airforce was riskier than army(same as submarines) as they were experimental. In ww1 the airmen would keep one bullet, to use if they were shot down. Better than dying on impact
I loved my ac and dorm rooms.....lol. we also got steak and lobster on our birthday in the chow hall.
Not sure if it is still there or not but when I was at Ft Drum the Airforce unit there had its own DEFAC, I was blown away when I went there on a Friday with my good friend who was a Msgt with the 20th Asos.
My HS buddy and I entered the service on the same date, he went Marine Infantry and I went Army Infantry. We had many similar experiences in boot camp and in garrison but the differences came when it came down to equipment and opportunities. In the Army we had all of the latest equipment as where he said they got the Army hand-me-downs. By the time we were halfway through our initial enlistments, I had already been to Airborne and Air Assualt school as to where he was still hoping to fly in a helicopter. Needless to say, the lack of opportunity to go to high-speed schools and other high-speed units was the main reason he did not reenlist after his 4 years was up. I stayed in an additional 2 years until I got broken up in Afghanistan and had a choice to get out on medical or reclass to some POG mos.
Thank you for you service, and good luck to you. I leave for Marine BC in 19 days and I signed up for 0300 (infantry) as well
@@t_pric3How was boot camp? Congrats, your profile pic looks like you made it!
"doing more with less" describes the entire Canadian military lol
Hard to believe considering Canadian service members are the highest paid in the world.
🤭
Pay is one thing. Ordinance and gear is another. Think Sea King helicopter. Canadian Navy bought 41 of them in 1963 and kept them until 2018. Kept together with duct tape.
@@JesusGarcia-cs9wl don't look at the pay. The Canadian Air Force is still flying the 77 CF18 Hornets bought in the late 1980s. The Canadian Navy finally replaced the 44 Sea King helicopters they bought in 1963.... In 2018. They used duct tape to keep them flying.
@@vincenzocomments980
Doesn't matter...
They have the longest border in the world with the US. We would never allow any country to invade Canada and expose our northern flank. You don't really need a standing military. A border defense force somewhat like Japan's would be fine.
Maybe the Marines need a new slogan “we can do almost anything with almost nothing”
Improvise, adapt and overcome... basically means the same thing
I think the Army is the best option for me. I want to do everything in my power to be a Ranger.
Same, but the only thing I don't like about the army anymore is that they are focusing on going woke and completing political agendas rather than focusing on important things. When i go to basic i want the shark attack to be there not some stupid ass 100 yards thing.
Unless you're talking about being partnof the 75th, Definitely talk about getting it on your contract before you actually sign up, going to ranger school is something very few end up being able to do even for those who want it.
@@Utsu-P_Enjoyer that’s not true. They hand out ranger school slots like Motrin 800’s in the infantry.
As a former marine, go ranger battalion.
So a Power Ranger...Yeah, Army is a good fit for you. 😁
I was army for 15 years. The difference are slight depending on the missions and time period. I love my Marine brothers and sisters but I've never lost a fight to one and when we were stationed together on the battlefield we both had a go hard or go home attitude. The Army is just bigger so the perceived weaknesses are due to some support elements not being as hardcore, but elements like combat arms, maintenance, and special operations operate at the same tempo. We do tend to keep more troops that the Corp would probably cut but it's because like it was stated, we're bigger. Dicipline depends on the command. I've saw undisciplined Marines just like I've saw undiciplined Soldiers, but the Army would give more chances.
Who has the longest and toughest training? just interested to know. I have talked to American soldiers before be never ask this question.
@@Richie.brogan Navy Seal training
@@Richie.brogan airforce combat airmen have the longest training. CCT’s are up around two years for the pipeline with a 95% failure rate.
@@Richie.brogan Not speaking about the US Army Combat Arms or USMC . But the US Navy Nuclear Power Program is very hard to get into and is two years of schooling before getting into the fleet . When I enlisted into the navy I was considered for the nuke power program , but it required that I sign a six year contract .
How do I thumb up this twice?
I am a Army Parachute Infantryman, and having fought and trained besides Marines was one great experience, we learned lots from one another. I felt like me and my boys benefited more from them than the other way around, the junior leadership was simply top notch we absolutely believed that in a fight our advanced equipment could give us the edge if we could nullify their violence of action. I loved working and fighting alongside them it was lots of fun.
My uncle was in the military aka USMC. My father was in the service aka US Army.
A client (we did work for the railroads) asked a co-worker & I if we had been in the military. He told them that I had been in the military and he had been in the Air Force. That became our running joke for the next few years that we worked together.
My dad enlisted in the Army straight out of high school. He used that opportunity to apply for grants to go to college to become an officer, and while there he switched to the Marine Corps. While at OCS, one of the instructors asked if anyone was prior service. My dad raised his hand and the instructor asked him which branch, when my dad replied Army, the instructor said, "I thought you said you were prior service."
Im in the army and honestly we kinda do a lot of things on the cheap as well, most of the equipment we use is at least 10-15 years old, Our vehicles are mostly from the 80s or early 90s. There are probably more modern stuff out there but I think the specialized units get them first and then the rest of us maybe get them a sometime down the line. Even the new uniforms, like the pinks&greens everyone keeps talking about, Id be willing to bet ill be out of the army before that shit reaches my unit. Marines are definitely more intense batch of guys but thats definitely a good thing.
Dont get me wrong. I saw plenty of shit the Army had just always seemed we 'borrowed' from Army or the Navy to get good sth1t. Or we were just thieves. Lol.
@@JamesonsTravels I also think it depends where you're at in the country, since the armys so big and has so many bases, the roll out of equipment happens on kind of a periodic basis, and even on the same base the best equipment will go to the units that really need them first and last to units that dont or to PR/HR personnel. Thats another big difference id say. Do the marines have like financial service and humans resources units? Or is that stuff handled by civilians?
@@Utsu-P_Enjoyer every Marine Corps Bn has a H&S(Headquarters & Service)Co that is responsible for payment dispersal and personnel services.
I’m not convinced the Marines are any more intense than Soldiers. Put a company of Infantry Paratroopers next to a company of Infantry Marines and I doubt you’ll see much difference.
I don't know how things are now, but when I came back from a deployment with the 18th Airborne Corp thirty years ago on a Navy ship, we ran into a Marine platoon that came in on Chinooks. They did seem lighter armed with older weapons than an infantry platoon. I hope things have changed. By the way the motto of the 18th ABN was anywhere in the world in 18 hours and they sure lived up to it.
I know some pretty tough guys in the ARMY. My son is ARMY, he’s an outstanding soldier. 🖍
It depends on your MOS. I was in combat arms, main battle tanks in the U.S. Army. While stationed in Germany we were a part of the rapid deployment force.
Has this guy heard of the 82D Airborne?
I spent 6 out of 10 years in the 82nd. The difference between majority of Army units and Airborne units is huge. I loved the 82nd. Just alone the capability to be able to deploy anywhere in the world within 18 hours notice...
@@dougespinosa1 someone gets it
@@dougespinosa1 Yeah until you get put into 2nd Brigade. I feel sorry for all my battles in 2nd Brigade.
@@tarantulathree-one8013 funny lol, I was in 2nd Brigade
@@warriorpoetapprentice1523 you know. We were the ones who trained up Marines in Afghanistan when they arrived.
I respect for all branches of military! I was army green baby!! Be all you can be and I was 😂
The Marine Corps unofficial motto is.....”we’ve done so much with so little, for so long we can do everything with nothing forever”
I am currently in the Army, however I am a former Marine. I was out for 17 years from the Marines before joining the Army. I am always asked why I joined the Army and not back in the Marines. I tell them the Marines are for the young and bold. I am old and careful now plus after 17 years of being out, I didn't have to goto bootcamp a second time when I joined the Army..
I've been in the Army...first as an Infantryman. You could probably say that the "Combat Arms" segment is made up of the young - especially Infantry. I was one of the older ones. It's probably the same for the Marines. Speaking of Marines, I've seen good ones in the Army and not so good ones. There is a lot of hype with the Marines and apparently many do not live up to that hype. To their dismay, when they came into the Army like that - I called them out when they fell short.
How were you out for 17 years and not required to go back through basic? They send people back after like 3 years or if you choose a combat job and you weren’t infantry in the corps. How long were you in the marine corps and what year did you join the army?
@@michaelmatthias9495 When I talked to the army recruiter I told him I didn't want to go through basic and he told me I didn't have too since I was in the marines. I was a combat engineer in the marines MOS 1371, so I was a grunt with explosives. I was in the Marines for only 4 years, from 89 to 93 and joined the army in 09. I am now in aviation with about 4 years left until retirement.
That’s a Looong time out. They definitely make marines go through now if they’ve been out too long or depending on the job they choose(infantry). I personally went through osut with about 5 prior service marines in 08.
@@michaelmatthias9495 maybe he means specifically "basic training"...called "boot camp" for the Marines.
That would be all of the basics - like marching, military courtesies, etc.
You went to MOS training also, the way that I am ready it.
Better question. 75th Ranger Reg. vs Force Recon That would be something to see
Question : Army vs Marines, who would win? Answer- BOTH. When they team up and molly-whop whoever was dumb enough to start shit with the US in the first place.

My nephew was in a Tank Division, he told me about the decision to cut tanks. He's off to Marine Drill Instructor school, I'm proud of him.
That drone idea sounds so fking smart. “Hey guys where are the enemy’s” you can literally just deploy a uav at this point🤣
I was stationed in 29 Palms with 1st Tank Bn. We bought all our Humvees and tanks used from the Army.
We cross trained with the Army at Fort Irwin. All there Humvees were new, and had two radios, a GPS and everyone had NVGs. We had used Humvees and only the section leaders and above had two radios, GPS and only one PVS-7 per vehicle. We were still using map and compass to navigate.
I saw that the Army wasn't as ready to fight as we were. Being a Marine 0352 (TOW Gunner), from Pvt on up we can assemble and accurately fire a TOW missile system. The Army unit we trained with, trains TOW gunners at Corporal rank and above. So in the Army, if the gunner gets taken out the Pvt that is driving isn't trained to fire the TOW missile system. He can only drive away or hopefully there is another Corporal or Sgt that is trained in the Humvee. The Army unit that we trained with didn't know how to navigate with map and compass. We had to give them a refresher course, because there GPS wasn't working. That was the whole problem that I saw with the Army, is that they are too dependent on technology. I always did my navigation with a map and compass, either on foot and by vehicle. I was never issued a GPS. There was one time having a GPS would have helped me. It was at night, and the visibility was low.
There was very little ambient light and the nvg's were not helping at all. But, I was able to get within 75 yards of my grid. I think the military as a whole needs to get back to basics and learn to do more with less.
I hope the one thing that has never changed, Marines were taught the there is no one in the world, more feared than a young Marine, straight from boot camp. They will walk thru hell's fire. I've never heard that disputed anytime in my life.
I'm game
🤣🤣🤣🤣. Oh please. Quit eating those crayons.
Just because you've been lead to believe something does not make it reality.
I have respect for the branch known as the Marines, but to assume that they are somehow better people, or better servicemembers is flawed.
I know it isn't the case from real-life experience.
I'm in the army , have much Respect for Marines, but I hate it when I hear people call Marines Soldiers, just like Marines earn their right, I earned mine. Does anyone else feel that way.
I don't, because many civilians don't know of the difference in terms... it's a generalization sometimes, too.
@@Golgi-Gyges you make a valid point
@@brandonnodine6934 thanks.
They are navy sailors who are trusted enough to carry weapons =)
I do. 😂 Y'all should be proud of being soldiers as im proud of being a Marine.
In February 2004, control of Fallujah and the surrounding area in the Al-Anbar province was transferred from the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division to the 1st Marine Division.
Just got stationed at Irwin as a 19K. I love watching all of your videos as some have great amounts of information and puts a different perspective in my head about learning about different branches, or just new things i didnt know about since i am just starting off this career. Thank you for the videos ill continue to watch when you upload next. Keep up the great content you earned a new subscriber and a fat amount of like in the near future 👍
Cheapness is another aspect of our interservice rivalry LOL
The new marine organisation reminds me of modern German “groups” being made from up to 12 soldiers and subdivided into two “troops”. Traditionally one being led by the assistant commander. It seems the hard fighting in the Middle East causes an adaption of more decentralised command structures on the field.
Marines have been trying to transition to more of a maneuver warfare since iwo jima and really saw the benefits after vietnam. Its been slow cause its not how i did it back then officers but its going
An oddly The Army went from 11 - 12 men to 9 men Squads just a few years ago
Sounds like most Squads/Sections from WW2 to be honest.
This is my favorite channel to watch I'm watching this waiting on my daughter to be born

I enjoy watching this channel and look forward to your take on these subject matter.
Would be cool to see a continuation of episodes on how the military from various nations operate.
The Austria and Russia episode was good, would like to see Italy, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, etc.
Good take. Agree with points made, as well as concerns about not packing our own armor and really do not want see us lose our own close air support. Semper Fi
I'm a proud woman army doc vet God bless 🙏
There’s plenty of marines that literally avoid war but just wanted the title. It all depends on MOS. Lots of Army guys who battled the enemy get called weak by a marine who stood behind eggs and bread his whole career
Agree, marines are just happy with being marines. Army knows you earn your keep when you deploy/go to more schools etc.
One of my close friends was a Marine. He and I went to school together and became instant friends since we were both Veterans. I was in the Army. We still poke fun at each other. In any downrange scenario we'd have each other's backs for sure.
Just saw Task & Purpose's video on this in their own channel, and I was curious what a marine would think of someone from my branch analyzing them. I appreciate hearing the second input on his description.
I just finished 20 years in the Army. I was ready to join the Marines but the thing that held me back is my dad (former Army) heard bad things about Paris Island. I have worked with Marines and have always respected their drive and love for what they do. Looking back I wish I had gone Marines.
Marine corp would lose only because its dwarfed by the size of the army
Army does have masses of bodies to bring to the table however in a bar fight, I call winners.
@@JamesonsTravels what branch won combatives the last x years in a row??? Also who wins the shooting competitions the last x years as well????? Already Rescued Marines Yesterday!!
They got rid of My old mos 0351 I understand the engineers are going to take over

Another awesome video man! Keep up the great content 👍
I told my grandfather (1st MEF Marines WW2) when I was 10 I’d like to join the Army some day. He said if I were joining today I’d enlist in the navy because they always ate and always had a bed to sleep in. After a few deployments and many years later in my 30’s medically retired and my body is paying for it. Touché grandpa, I should’ve taken that advice.
75th Ranger regiment is not the regular Army
And not all Marines are are even infantryMOS.... Not all Marines are on par with Army Infantry grunts. Past their SOI schooling..Depends on MOS.. Marine mechanics can't compete with an 11 series MOS who train daily in their job..this goes all sorts of ways..even the other way, not all Army is Marine recon Warriors..but yea, harder initial schooling/SOI goes to Marines. A POG is a POG is a POG, no matter what branch u in...
It’s irritating when you have people comparing infantry Marines to SOF 11bs in the 75th Ranger Regiment. The 75th is a completely different beast than it used to be.

Hello, I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
Yes, there is a lot differences between the Marine Corps and Army. Done both. Even 17 years away from the M-60 machine gun and I was able to take it strip it down clear it from jammed rounds to cleaning and back to working better than before and it was pitch black out. I had my whole Platoon talking about it the next day. I turned and gave a class on the proper maintenance and clearing and reassembly of the M-60. The Army wanted to know how I knew so much about weapons. I said the Marine Corps Trained me both in Boot Camp, ITR and Vietnam.
Semper Fi
Congrats on 500k subs man!!!
Makes sense to go for the cheap option ... even when choosing the cheap option they are still better equipped than any enemy
Murica
Ha, yeah right. Have you seen China’s military? Or North Korea’s? How about Russia? They are far from under equipped.
@@havoc1zero The Marines have good equipment (equal / better when compared to the rest of NATO). I understand that it would be nice to have the best of the best but there are budget restrictions... I think that the compromise adopted by the USMC looks fine works well. Plus ...not likely they will face any time soon China, Russia etc.... because if they will we will have WW3
When I was in the Marines in the mid to late 80's the marines were HARD CHARGERS AND PROFESSIONAL no question but todays Marines are not only hard Chargers When I was embedded with the marines in Afghanistan I WAS IMPRESSED with how much more TECHNICAL AND Intelligent they are today. I was impressed. Even the Officers were WAY MORE Professional and Intelligent but the Enlisted were MUCH MORE technically trained and intelligent today than in years past.
We’ve become better in just about every way to the Army, but losing a lot of MOSs is going to cause change that is bad in some ways.
Great video, I think these differences certainly exist but as far as standards I feel that grunts from both services have more in common than things that set us apart. A lot of army infantryman lived very sparsely in small COPs
Great video! Every video you do is good.
I love the Marines and Army idk what to choose 😭
I'd go Army right now. We're in peace time, the Marines literally aren't doing anything. I know some guys in Marine infantry right now and they basically just mow lawns all day every day. My advice: go Army and get a job involving computers or a trade like plumbing. You'll get out and have actual certifications to use in the civilian world later on while the infantry guys will be working at McDonald's

Love your videos!
Adapt and overcome...I can still hear my AIT instructor screaming that almost 40 years later
When I was in the Corps, we were using the M16A2. I remember our unit got "new" M16s. They were actually used Navy M16s (may as well been new). I had never seen a black M16 before that. The ones we had were darkish gray and silver.
In sweden we have 6 man or 8 man squads. The reason for that are that studies have shows that a Leander can lead up to 6 people effectively.
So thats why we have about 5 squads in a Platoon = 5 squadleaders to talk to for the pluton commander. And 5-6 platoons in a company. About 5 platoon officer for the kompany commander to lead and so on
I think the best way to look at the difference between the Army and the Corps is the Marines are like a shock force, while the Armys' purpose is to occupy and hold a position that the Marines cannot because of their lesser numbers. As a retired Army E-7, I tend to look at the Marines as generally better troops, because in bad situations some of the Armys' individuals leave something to be desired. In Vietnam, I dealt with Marines on several occasions and was very impressed.
Hahaha the paper airplane UAV
The Corps lives off hand me downs, then improves them, like the Ontos 106 recoilless rifles, the Corps added the 50 cal spotter guns
You look genuinely happy 😂 SEMPER FI
Funny story about the Marines being cheap. This was back in the late '80s. Got back to the barracks one day and noticed that we had new furniture in the common areas. I said "cool" and sat down to relax on the new sofa. It was then I noticed that although the sofa looked new, there was some minor wear with it. The S4 guy was still there and I asked him where the new furniture came from. He said they found out the air force were renovating some of their barracks over at Seymour Johnson and were throwing out all the old furniture. Naturally, we were more than happy to take it off their hands. Gotta love the cheapskate Corps.
@Maria Ramirez LOL. That's another thing. I was completely blown away when I first saw an AF chow hall. It was like a 4 star restaurant compared to what I was used to. More power to them I guess.
you should check out Life Is a Special Operation, he has some cool informative videos on the US military that you could check out and give your opinion on
They are always changing shit around in The Army , I was a SGT with a 12 man Squad in the 70's , An that split into A Team & B Team , Now they have 9 man Squads with SSG as Squad Leaders . At 21 yrs Old I was barely able to keep myself in check ,
Levels of chill ranked from least to most:

The marines kind of sound like us Aussie's. Get by and make do.

When I was in the Corps and promoted to E-5, I was the 2nd youngest E-5 in the Corps. Most around me of the same rank or lower ranks were their because they had best busted down a rank or two in the past. Discipline is tough and swift. My big question which I never got the answer to.....who was the other Marine that was younger than me. Not only was I young, but I was also small and looked like I was 15. Can't tell you how many times I had to show ID to the bartender at an NCO club or correct a E-4 on proper edicate when dealing with a superior.
Come on! Not everyone is getting state of the art gear in the Marines.
The army also sends in advance ready to deploy units into war.
Well..I’m currently in the Army and just finished 5 years in the Corps back in November....Everyone calls me Devil Dog knowing the Corps is a different proud breed. Army is just fucking middle school. Ik my DIs in recruit training used to tell me “the fleet is like high school, people in there own groups, females fighting over whatever it is, pogs and grunts, etc.. Army is honestly un mature and ig that comfortability with your chain of command is a long shot from how it is with the corps. Idk still learning more and more I’m enjoying rn. Definitely a little harder to relate tho knowing I didn’t go through the same thing the people around me have. At the end of the day we’re all people and I’ll try my best to build that rapport with everyone.
98-03 Semper Fi from the air wing. Great video. 👍
When the Marines can deploy within 18 hrs like airborne units do then id say they are the first to go per conventional force.
18 hours? I've been called up and on target in 12, 10 and even 6. I've been in and out in 24. But the main difference here is, the Army has to have an act of Congress, the Marines,... we only need a call from the President.
They only need the 1 call because they’re not technically a “branch”, they’re a subgroup off of the navy. If the army only needed that one call they’d be the same. IF we weren’t talking about general infantry, I’d say the army sf were probably already there gathering intel and such so the marines could have something to work with till regular army gets there, but we’re not talking about sf operations and I’ve never been a marine so idk. I know all the different branches are gonna pick on one another but we’re all working together for the same outcome. Freedom! All these heated arguments are senseless cause I’ve seen marines get their asses handed to them by army soldiers, and same the other way around so it’s basically a pecker measuring contest at that point, some are bigger and some smaller. Every branch is better at something than any other branch and that’s why we have different branches lol, just depends on what you want to do I guess...can’t be a marine seal or a navy ranger
Aren’t Really Marines Yet! (ARMY)
Already Saved Marines Yesterday! ( ARMY )
And never wanted to be a Marine. That would be a downgrade.

@@Golgi-Gyges thats if u are good enough to make through the training
@@SpdDemonAL if I made it through basic and Army Infantry training...
And Special Forces Selection and Assessment...
Well, I have the internal strength or whatever you want to call it. I have seen weak Marines and former Marines, so they made it through the "training," so there's that.
We ALWAYS are ready , we take a lot of crap , but we are READY , WE IMPROVISE ,ADAPT AND ALWAYS OVERCOME ...... “ya got your boots on, ya got your gun we will go fight anywhere .” SEMPER FI
I was stationed on U.S.S Tarawa. I met some really cool ass Marines when i was in the Navy.
I remember in BCT when we were not authorized toilet paper so we had to steal napkins from the chow hall
I'm confused was it part of training? Like were you in the woods and had to use leafs? I'm really curious 😳
@@ketchupdude1319 there was no reason, they were just assholes to us.
I just enlisted in the marine corps and my boot camp date is in October, any tips?
No to much cardio before boot camp. Sprint, Job. Only need PT - pull-ups, sit-ups, push-ups, dips. Stay lean and eat small. You wont eat enough in boot camp so get used to it., Enjoy the ride.
Go with open mind, shut up and pay attention. You don’t know anything and your attitude will carry the day. Unless your leg is broken in half, don’t be that guy that whines about every little thing.
Get in great physical shape! Don’t run with a ruck or in the sand, no cold showers or anything like that, just make sure you can run for a LONG Time in regular PT clothes without it bothering ya, pull ups and push-ups everyday. Keep your head down, keep moving, NEVER QUIT!!! And you’ll be fine!🙏🏼🇺🇸🙏🏼
DO NOT QUIT! When it gets too hard and too painful PUSH HARDER! The more it sucks THE BETTER IT IS!
Start doing pushups and pullups and crunches and run.focus on your breathing. And no matter what never give up. This is a new world you are stepping into. You have to be focused.stay out of trouble. And save your money. Enjoy the adventure.
I like the new background
I've never had any animosity for the marines I've been stationed with I just felt bad for them sometimes. Nearly was impossible to promote compared with us over in the army (for example one of my best buddies before I enlisted was an e5 before I joined and eventually when I became e5 he was still here). Also the funding for the mission was obviously way less.
When I went through basic at Benning, we got stuck with TA-50 from Vietnam
I'm in the reserves rn and we have shit from desert storm
@@chikenmcsandwich4413 damn bro, I'm sorry, the NG unit I'm in is using ACP mixed with the new UCP stuff.
I think the Army would win, we'd just take away their crayons (awaits the RUclips assassins because I made a Marine joke lol)
🤣😂
Marine Corps, Small Craft Company (infantry on boats), Kuwait, February 2004:
We convoyed up from Kuwait to Al Taqqadum, Iraq, in soft-skinned humvees. We had sandbags on the floors of our vics for "protection" from IEDs. I, riding in the passenger seat, sat sideways, facing outboard, the whole ride to allow my SAPI plates maximum protection if we were to take fire. Everyone besides SNCOs had iron sight rifles - I had an M16A2. We had NVGs but no batteries - I think we barely had enough for the drivers - and, of course, no PEQs, even if we did get into a firefight with NVGs. As the S2, and a LCpl, I had to "acquire" maps from Div without their knowledge before step-off (they claimed they already gave us our allotment).
We made it to TQ and we're waiting at the gate to be let in. An 82nd Army sentry soldier walks up and asks us "did you guys just come up from this road?" point at the direct we had just traveled. He continued, "we don't ever drive down that road... we always get attacked when we do." On TQ I saw female soldiers walking around with pink GLITTER UNICORN STICKERS on their buttstocks! I saw one female soldier walking to the chow hall with a M4, complete with an Aimpoint, a PEQ, and a 203. I stopped her and asked her what her MOS was. She responded with a bunch of numbers and I asked what that was and she said, "Administrative specialist."
Best times of my life.
Sounds like the Corps and not much changed since before they in my day.
@@JamesonsTravels A wise Marine once said, "The Marine Corps isn't what it used to be... and it never was."
This was with regards to the "new Corps being soft." But I find that regardless of time you were in, it was the best of times, and it was the worst of times.
Cheers, brother, and keep up the excellent content. If you're ever interested in joining for a Marine lifestream chat or whatever, let me know.
Rah!
Proud mom of 2 Marines! Hoorah
In a fight the Marines would win...The golden crayons!
bar fight. lol.
@@JamesonsTravels LOL and god bless them all!
Until you see prat gomer sitting in the corner eating them
You don't know what your talking about.
Twice as an Army Grunt we went on field exercises with Marines as opposition. We out manuvered and whipped them in every engagement. Just saying.
They're tough guys but overly aggressive and have weak leadership. Of course this is just my experience.
@@JesusGarcia-cs9wl You do realize my comment is all in good fun right? Plus USMC JROTC doesn’t count.
In the Navy you are a sailor, in the Army you are a soldier, in the Air Force you are an airman but in the Marines you are a Marine....
