Lol I heard that infrantry is about nic, energy drinks & getting drunk in the barracks
basically lol
Ong
I can confirm this is very true 😂.
couldnt be more of a fact
Im so appreciative of Trell. Thanks for all that you do king!.
Shipping out May 25th, chose infantry for my MOS. Still looking forward to it, amazing video man 💯🤌 gave me some good insight on Marine Corps infantry.
I was Army Infantry 2012-2015 and our experience was very similar.
Appreciate your humble service to our country. From a man who is serving, but not as a Marine. My good conduct medal (as an officer) is the greatest.
Great video, the more things change. The more they stay the same. I'm sure there was a Jarhead that got back from France after WWI or one from WWII , Korea , Vietnam and so on that will relate the same story to some degree. Drinking and hazing go hand in hand in the Infantry. When I was in we had guys that were in the Army and they said it was the exact same way, not to the extent that we did it though. I had two drill instructors tell me "the Marine Corps to you is what YOU make it" and that is the truth. Hang with shitbirds, you will become one, if not you will be by association. I saw all those people you described, and I let one drive me from the Marines. I regret that even now. But I look back on my experience with favor, I learned a lot in that time and it has been what drives me. The brothers I met while in, are closer to me than some of my family. I've been a fire fighter for 26 years, not a bad job for an 0311. I've had a good life and it all started as a Marine.
Thanks for sharing your story
Great to see you Trell ,Great Video as always.
I appreciate it
Your insight is hella helpful bro big thanks
Glad to help
Thanks for this video man, I'm currently 17 and waiting for the whole MEPS process and medical records.enlisting in the army as infantry with airborne School. 🤘🏼
Glad to help, and good luck bro
Unfortunately couldn’t get into the Marine Corps cause I was a drop out but I’m shipping out in a week to Army OSUT for Infantry training regardless your videos helped give some insight on the military even more so the Infantry Thanks Trell
Good luck, glad to help
ayyye i’m in the enlistment process right now for infantry in the army. let us know how it goes man.
Ima dropout the marines still taking me
@@srib3360 I was a 9th Grade Dropout And I was told I either needed to have gotten to the 10th grade or have taken 3 College Courses and I was just wanting to ship out to Infantry period Either Army/Marines and An Army Recruiter Set me up in 2 weeks.
@@stelloysl don't worry about it the army offers more opportunities for infantry anyway. I hope you got an option 4/option 40 contract if not do your best to get into airborne or maybe even rasp those things will put you ahead of your peers quickly
Needed this video might leave in 4months🙏🏻🇺🇸
Glad to help, good luck
Love the vids man, i’m 17 and trying to join after highschool can’t wait
Good luck bro
I ship soon, signed infantry thank you for this insight trell!
11x or 03
Np good luck
Good luck
Dope video and for anyone who has questions feel free to ask me as well, as I'm still serving in the infantry , but I will say yes find a career field that will give you skills that can transfer out the Marines, if you don't really find something that catch your interest or you still want to figure out what you want to do in life then infantry is good bur if you want transferable skills then a MOS in a different t field is definitely encouraged
Great advice💯
what are your thoughts about females joining the infantry? How do you think the males will react when they find out a woman is on their team? You can be brutally honest no judgement here haha
@@lil.chatita5496 oh we already have women in the infantry haha, I haven't worked side by side with any yet but I've overrated during a training exercise with a group training ans she didn't do bad, held up pretty good moving to an objective, and there are a few others ive seen and they obviously don't perform like men but if you have the mentality then you are good. Do I recommend it hell no lol so bad for a man's body, takes a bigger toll on a woman's. And as for opinions I know there'd a stigma in the world with women shouldn't do this and that, to me I don't care, I get a solid check to lead Marines and ensure we are properly trained and when overseas to ensure we all get back safe. Everything else to me personally doesn't matter what anyone does, we are all out in this world to make a difference, becomes stable and make a paycheck
if i want to go to the infantry as a reservist and after college i want to do some criminal justice work like DEA will the infantry be a good choice? other than that i have bulk-fuel and motor t
I was in the reserves for 6 years. My Unit never had cohesion. Since I was a bit different from my group of guys I was the odd guy out. Also everyone was all about themselves I felt like. Even the reserves, it was high school all over
that's how it goes it's sad
As a junior Marine we took the full brunt of “hazing” when we were on duty a couple of weeks ago during March 11 (aka Happy 0311 day), every senior got retardedly drunk and hazed the crap out of us juniors on duty but they understood how tired we got the following day when they sobered up and apologized. 😆🤣
Sounds about right😂
I was CBRN with 3rd Mar Reg. I was with the S-3 which was filled with nothing but burnt-out NCO and SNCO grunts, so I had some days. But passing by infantry barracks on my way to get drunk in Waikiki on your typical Friday night, seeing them in line on some gear inspection or random field day hazing shit I knew... it can always be worse.
Semper Fi
Great video. The Military is what you make it to be. One day I met a young Ranger in the Army with an Engineering Degree and a 4.0 GPA. I asked him "why in the fuckery fuck you joined the Army after college, especially the fucking Infantry?" He said, "because I wanted to do something fun before going permanently to a dull and boring corporate environment, and so far in these 3 years I have an as Ranger I feel more ALIVE than ever." I was actually surprised by his response. Good Luck Marine!
Not all units are created equal. I served in Echo 2/2, it was a Great unit, my best friend was in Fox 2/6, and his unit was toxic. Echo 2/2 back when I was in had excellent leadership. My friend told me horror stories of his time in Fox 2/6. I feel so fortunate that my Plt Sargent, Co. Gunny, First Sgt, and Company CO were outstanding. Very lucky indeed
I was in 2/6 Fox 2011-2012. When was your friend in?
@@FutilityOfReason 1986-1988, a long time ago my friend. Battalions, Companies, Platoons, Squads change over time, sometimes it takes just one addition to change the culture. I hope your time in was as enjoyable as mine. Semper Fi
Semper Fi
I’m in F2/6 rn!!!
2/2 is HORRIBLE now
I was in the Marine Corps from '99-'04. I was in the airwing as a helicopter mechanic with HMM 162 on New River. This video is also accurate for us as well. We definitely had the hazing, drinking, all of that. The biggest issue that we had was guys getting promoted when they absolutely did not deserve it. The number would be so low for a certain MOS to get promoted that you had absolute shit birds in charge of grown men. It was unfortunate for everyone because NO ONE respected them and just did the absolute minimum because they had to respect the rank.
His description of power hungry assholes is SUPER ACCURATE. I was promoted quickly, meritoriously twice (once out of boot camp, once in the fleet) and I was most excited about one thing after getting promoted: telling these Napoleon complex assholes to get fucked. Men's complete insecurities are on full display when they achieve ranks they do not deserve. Belittling junior Marines because they got beat up in high school or some shit. Over all though, I absolutely would NEVER change ANYTHING about my experiences. The Marine Corps literally saved my life at a time when I needed it to. Anyway...his video is accurate and dead on point.
Thank you for sharing your story
@@TrelltheGreat of course brother. Semper Fi
Aviation mechanic is an option for me. I want to fly Helios. But was told I'd have to be a mechanic and then door gunner first. Be hot shit and then go to warrant officer school
Same thing brother I was at new river and same unit ik full that is straight up facts about my unit it was toxic leadership and favoritism all the time
Hey Trell love the videos, I’m gonna join the marines once I’m out of High-school so your videos are great, also is your contract over and if so, are you gonna re enlist?
Thanks glad to help. Yes and no
Good luck
I think being a grunt sucked more when we were in garrison than the field for sure. Back in the rear a typical day was PT..classes…clean weapons…working parties…maybe some duty but hey at least we got hot chow. If we were in the field for the week we’d usually get hot chow one night….CHILLI MAC!
0311 E 2/3 88 - 92 🇺🇸
I’m an 0311 in the reserves, graduated itb a couple months ago, definitely should have gone active though, being back at home sucks ass especially since I’m not doing anything close to the marine corps here but hopefully I can switch to active sometime
good luck bro hopefully you can switch
Thx a lot for responding I appreciate it, can’t imagine what it’s like coming back after 4 full years as an 03 tho, respect
Definitely think active for at least a first enlistment will definitely be eye opening but any opportunities to deploy take them
It’s hard to switch from reserves to active but you can try to get in on your unit’s deployments
Im at ITB in a holding platoon. I’ve been here for less than a month and I’ve already seen alot of what you’re talking about. I don’t see a future for myself here
See you on pretty feet Friday Trell.
?
Literally got a text from a recruiter I got tapped in with and I honestly wanna learn more about mos and I’ll decide. A lot of this sounds like life bro
You should join my discord there's a lot of people currently trying to join, and they would be happy explaining some good MOS
@@TrelltheGreat shoot the link. I can study mos but I want to know what the fields like
I really want to hear more about your deployment. I’m ready to shoot but my mindset is I can’t go. I don’t want to end up in a situation where I have a low ratio of survival
Which one
@@TrelltheGreat would you be able to Dm or call bro. I don’t know anyone who can give me the right input on this
Welp, not going infantry. 😂 I appreciate the videos man.
this video is 100% true
💪🏽
Damn Lmao I start itb tomorrow, but I only plan on doing 4 years anyway and plan on going to school
Smart
Damn I’m glad I saw ts 😅 I was about to go infantry. I’ve undergone my fair share of bullshit already Im not going out sad 😂
Going to bootcamp next month on the 18th, Im slightly nervous
You'll be fine, just don't give up
I was surprised about the drugs as well. I was too young and too immature to experience a lot of what I did at the time.
Thanks for the insights I ship out September 9th and this video is definitely helping me out but there is one downfall to my thoughts which is my girlfriend joining the navy she leaves the 11th would you think by any chance that there is risk of something being done to her within the military? Have you ever witnessed any female service members being forced to do something they don't want to do?
Happens a lot
I'm trying to get ready for the marines
We hopefully I can help with that in someway
Bruhh this shits so relatable tbh
I joined the corps last june and after a month in the fleet I already have pretty mixed feelings. There are individuals like ranks who dont act like they deserve those ranks. Lots of hazing and it just gets so fucking annoying.
yes it does and good luck
Explain “Hazing”
Damn, where are the lies here?! The best thing I did was LAT move from 0311 to 1141. Rank progession was much faster and I learned a skill that can be used when I got out.
Hey bro , I commented on ur vids asking if u could cover va loan n other stuff but I wanted to ask , if u back out after swearing in at meps , is that a dishonorable discharge? My recruiter said so
I have a video already on it
Hey bro do you think it would be a good idea to join the marines corp to study and get a degree. I don’t plan on doing infantry and I just want to pay off anything that has to do with education thanks
Yeah just don’t do the infantry. Make sure it’s a desk job
My son is currently a poolee . He’s finishing high school . Today he picked his top 3 jobs . 1. Infantry 2. Admin 3.motor transport . He wants to do some online college. You think that will be possible with the jobs he’s picking ? The recruiter says that these jobs give you more time to yourself . Thanks , and thank you for the videos 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Probably not in the Infantry but the other jobs probably
My personal suggestions...unless he loves working out and PT etc etc is to pick another job over infantry. Admin is very compeititve but at least it gives you officer experience. Motor T gives you experience driving large vehicles (IE- CDL in the future) etc etc. Be sure he picks something he will be able to use outside of the USMC.
@@jeremiahbaker7584 yea he loves to work out . That’s his thing . Been hitting the gym since he was 14 . He’s actually looking to go into law enforcement after he’s done . Thanks for the advice
Recruiters get more points when they send a poolee or anyone to infantry, sooo dont get fooled make sure your son is okay with infantry…might not be what he expects
I'd add the infantry isn't the job to get school done, unless they got selected for 8th and I for their first 2 years in the infantry and sometimes it's volunteer sometimes it's voluntold but I went there for my first 3 years and there was plenty of time for college. Once in the fleet for infantry no, I wouldn't. I would suggest admin if anything to have time for school
Thoughts on corpsmen? How is it as a job? Thanks for all your help
Well I can’t really give details because I wasn’t in the Navy but I liked my Docs
They are dope, teach you alot and definitely go through the same as grunts for the most part if attached to am infantry unit
@@TrelltheGreat yea I guess I meant to ask about your experience with them
But I plan on trying to surround myself with good dudes and people and stay away from toxic people to the best of my ability.
Stick to that plan fr fr
Many grunts saw the Vietnam war as the best we could hope for. Because without that, we could have been driven to insanity isolated on the Rock or at the Stumps for years on end. K'Bay was popular, but the high cost of living made it incompatible with low military pay., Which probably made the 6th fleet MEU's the best cold war duty for grunts.
Hey so I took the ASVAB test with army at a MET site and passed it so my recruiter is setting up my MEPS dates soon but i’ve been having second thoughts on if I want to join the army or marines. Is it too late to change my mind on the Army or can i still switch branches since I haven’t signed a contract yet even though I have a temporary MOS reserved until after I do my physical and swear in at MEPS
You need to tell him ASAP
@@TrelltheGreat alright will do and one more question is it possible to become airborne as a marine?
@@eb7999 it is I asked my recruiter
@@eb7999 well you can get your wings and be sent into army airborne school as a marine
Hey did you ever know any MP’s? Are MP’s really as universally hated as they say?
Yes and yes lol
They are useless af
Okay so I know this don’t really apply to this video but Trell what 2 branches have the most women 👀 that’s how i’ll decide what branch i want to join
Airforce and Army lol
I left college on Friday and went to the arm forces building on Monday. I got there around noon expecting to join the Navy. they were out to lunch, as were the Coast Guard. The Air Force said it would take 60-90 days, no one in their right mind would join the army and there was Gunnery Sgt. Sexton USMC. The only thing I knew about the USMC was the movies "Retreat Hell and The Sands of Iwo Jima" both movies. I said what the hell, it was probably safer in Vietnam with the USMC than getting drafted by Army, I noticed what was getting drafted in to Army. The Gunny never lied to me and the Corps never lied to me. Yes it was hard, but when I went in I was a pussy, but when I returned from the Nam my Mother was proud of me. "My" USMC never lied to me,.
I’m waiting for my meps medical documents to be cleared. I’m planning on going into the Marine infantry. Now I know what to be prepared for. Thank you
Glad to help
Everyone told me not to go infantry.. now im in the navy and obviously not infantry.. now ALL I WANT IS TO GO MARINE INFANTRY!! IM SWITCHING BRANCHES!!!!!!
Preciate the video 🤙🏼
good luck bro
Don't switch, try out for Seals, Swcc, diver, or eod. I heard swcc is a good gig.
The whole thing ppl think of about how wow, that persons in the u.s. military so that person and everyone else must be an honorable, no drama, just do what you gotta person Is far fetched. Trust me. I know what you mean man. I’m those things but it depends on the person. There’s a lot of ppl that get away with defamation. I was in the army.
So basically what he’s saying is “join army”
Ain't nothing like getting dropped off in the woods by a fucking Osprey with your boys to play some war games. I had the best AND worst times of my life with Marine infantry.
💯
Well luckily for me I want to be a cop so joining infantry is good for me
The marines still give age waivers now a days?
Hey trell I live pretty close to the San diego recruit depot. Would there be a chance they could still send me out to Paris island?
Nope. Its based on your recruiting station, anything on the left of the Mississippi is going to San Diego.
@@jeremiahbaker7584 Alright man thanks🤝
I'm sorry but no
No
What's your experience in the fleet?
basically this video
@@TrelltheGreat ok cuz I'm fresh out of boot camp n waiting on mct to pick up

We couldn’t even have our phones on us wtf
‼️‼️
I can't wait to join after highschool and then become a police officer
Good luck on your entire journey
@@TrelltheGreat thank you. It's gonna take alot of time and dedication to train
What about the fake salt dogs that went to afgan last year that sat post and didn’t do crap😂
Well most Marines in now haven’t even been so they got something over them
What you described is what the infantry has been for the last 100 years
I joined Army Infantry. Our promotions were the opposite. Which led to immature leadership. On the job Deployed we were on it professional for the most part. In the rear absolute cluster fuck. If we were in the field we were doing maintenance. Drugs everywhere on bases hell had a weed guy at point delivery. Just got lucky never popped I got dumb by second enlistment.. I give it a 5 not good not bad definitely positive after for benefits.
