Wolfhunter, your presentation of history, -shall we say nicely- features noble simplicity. (That is in opposition of outright distortion) After all, you have entered WWI in about 3 years late, and in the WWII 2 years late, beside there was the contribution of the Soviet Union and the British Commonwealth with all their Dominions, if you would care to share the limelight. Thank You and Good Day To You Too!
well weather i go to war or not i wanna join the airforce and hopefully be a pilot i don't wanna argue anymore so take care god bless and thank you for seving our country
When I went through boot camp at MCRDSD in 1976 we were issued two pairs of boots: one pair for PT and drill and one pair for inspections. No sneakers. We did everything in leather combat boots.
@MrJoe48 well u know the corp takes too long to do shits, but the female did do the hike in east coast cuz in my squadrons there r a lot of females who has hips prob from the hikes, and alot had shin splints from it as well
Actually, you'd have to go back all the way to the days of the ancient Greeks when warriors fought in close quarters called a phalanx. Even though C.O.D. is outdated and archaic in the combat sense, it still is functional for instilling discipline and maintaining your bearing.
Hey, that's interesting you mention something about the canteens and sickness. Now I want to make clear that I was never sick in the sense of being totally incapacitated, but I did struggle at times to drink out of those old, re-issued, canteens without becoming slightly sick. Did throw up a bit a few times during my time in the Corps. For the record, if I had a new canteen that I bought from a surplus store or if it was a regular water bottle, never had any problems.
I know a very old comment. However, I also felt sick initially during receiving due to the canteens. They're just used old canteens. One of mine actually still had sand and piss in it. Or chemicalizied piss. Which is basically canteen water. This coming from September of last year.
I remember just before we got out of the bus, the NCO in charge told us there were only 2 ways you got out of PI, Graduate or in a box! Being I am 5 -4, us feather merchants always seemed to be running when we were drilling or marching to keep up with the big guys in front.
The Platoon that just went by just finished with the Crucible. No 1st phasers march that well, and I remember the 1st Sgt making the whole company wear go fasters for the rest of the day.
@wilsontc123 Thats incredibly false. Marine Corps training instills discipline, teamwork, and courage. Pretty sure all of those are required in combat. They learn even more about future combat environments and scenarios through MCT, SOI, and pre deployment training. Which currently takes place in Twentynine Palms, California specifically to help instruct Marines on how to fight in urban and desert environments such as the Afgan and Iraq. Boot Camp is the very basic training...you clearly know
well in air force bmt they were called baby flights and r jus in there first week of training so its kinda like they want everyone to no they jus got there
@FmlRelationships all easy shit to remember, the only thing about Marine Corps. knowledge that would actually take some studying would be the test that corpsman take to get their fmf pin
October 25th, 1978. Night time. Yellow foot prints. I remember damn near everything. The obstacle course by the airport. Edson Range. That hard core sound your boots made on the parade deck. Pupil sticks. The squad bay. D.I. Staff Sargeant McDaniel. Hated that guy for 3 long months. Hell of a dude.! Respectfully, Sir ! AND...no sneakers for pt. The same stinky grey sweat shirt, camo fatigue pants, and BOOTS ..SHINED PLATOON 1 THOUSAND 91 OOH FKN RAH !!!!!
You been to both huh, there are the exact same Paris Island is just older and more talked about in movies books etc.. The first marine division was the tip of the spear in Iraq, where were they from, Ocean Side california outta camp P.
@FmlRelationships it is that easy, just cause it isn't for you doesn't mean it's hard to remember for anyone else...here's a knowledge question for you that actually matters: What is aa 9-line casevac?
Not necessarily. Add it to the end of ITB / MCT, so that people don't have to wait until the fleet to learn that shit. (unless you're a pog, in which case you're more than likely to never learn it in the first place)
Am I seeing things? Are these Recruits wearing tennis shoes? All training used to be done in combat boots. Including swimming. What has happend to my Corps?
@semperfisemperceler thye r building new barracks for the female yes they r planning to have female in west coast again i was there when they first started the foundation for the buildings
Did you forget hat the marines get a lot more funding for more training ? At least we all get the job done when it really counts...You must understand ... Every Branch has its own Gig going on.. So what if you have stronger biceps than an airman? Don't forget that you have to have the highest ( Minimum ) score on the asvab to get accepted into the Air force ;)
@wafflecushioned Sweet Jesus....Yes thats an idea, why didn't i think of that myself. Great advice waffle...Now if i could just bring him back to life.
@semperfisemperceler i know its sounds sexist but most of the female will not fully complete the cruicable they tried to have female there once but it didint work out, the mountain doesnt work well with their hips structure
omg i used to do that, that war belt sure comes in handy when you wanna cheat and tuck it in! being in the middle of formation rocks! dont get caught though lmao thats not fun at all
They're in 1st phase and probably got their first PX store visit after their second haircut! Everything looks the same even though this vid is 17 years old!
wel i salute you, goodluck. And tell me what it was like when you grduate. MAn some dude on youtube says the army is tougher, i told him be quiet before i dial 0311
lol ohh man does Drilling sucks!! lol funny thing is tht now tht im out i miss it like krazy, sometimes i even practice around the house to remember thm days.. OORAHHHHHHH!!! The Few The Proud Baby n Sgt.Garcia if u eva read dis lol i still remember whn u beat th shyt out of me n said sorry 3 months later..lol Semper Fi to all thm Devil Dogs out there
semper fi do or die, gung ho gung ho gung ho what makes the grass grow? blood blood blood what are marines trained to do kill kill kill! FULL METAL JACKET
For some unknown reason superlatives roll of the lips of a Yank so easily, like a chirpy tune from a singing bird. Therefore, before I would join you in a hasty statement, I would like to verify the training of the Royal Marines, the French La Légion Etrangère and maybe even the Nepalese Ghurkas. (just to name a few) Otherwise, it would be more the testimony of my ignorance and arrogance, than a statement about superiority.
dmellow45 everyone in the Army is a Soldier....no matter if your a ranger r not....everyone in the army is a soldier...but a Marine is a Marine for earning the title Marine and that Marine is only a Marine...not a soldier....like other people in military branches r called. get my point. Oorah.
Then go to Russia, maybe they will teach you how to write a fucking sentence. In the mean time, I'll be here in the US, proud to be served by the USMC. OORAH!
oh my gosh, he just compared the airforce with the marine corps.... you have to have the highest asvab scores yes, but that has nothing to do with intelligence. i went to boot camp with some really high scoring recruits who just sucked at everything. it takes competence to make it in the marine core and ever hope to hit anything higher than frickin E-3
look at div that just marched by everything on point. Army aint got shit on the marines. No other branch has anything on these guys. Except my div in the navy perfected everything marched just like these guys.
Yes, very basic in a sense that you learn vietnam esque tactics. You learn nothing about radios, IEDs, casualty evaluation / procedures. and yes, I know all about cax, thanks.
I graduated in 1977, and we double timed everywhere. I can't believe I did it at seventeen.

dam that sounds like my old drill instructor, oh god sends chills down my back remembering them
well weather i go to war or not i wanna join the airforce and hopefully be a pilot i don't wanna argue anymore so take care god bless and thank you for seving our country

Oorah and Happy Birthday, Marine!!
@MrJoe48 well u know the corp takes too long to do shits, but the female did do the hike in east coast cuz in my squadrons there r a lot of females who has hips prob from the hikes, and alot had shin splints from it as well
Went to mcrd 1970 we also started in tennis shoes

yea the airforce goes sometimes for like 3 months and they go to real real safe areas, when you join you will know exactly what i mean...
Go fasters with cammies. They drill pretty good for being so new

good point but on MCRD Parris Island your surrounded by a swamp with sand fleas the size of a mini poodle that you are not allowed to swat at
steppe on the yellow footprints 14Aug63 USMC 63-67
stepped on the yellow footprints 14AUG63 USMC 63-67
Oorah!!
The Platoon that just went by just finished with the Crucible. No 1st phasers march that well, and I remember the 1st Sgt making the whole company wear go fasters for the rest of the day.

Yup, Our DI showed us the swamp were the tide came in and those recruits drowned. Its behind the "Chosin Rifle Range" back behind the pits.
SEMPRI FI! Can't wait till i go now...
Question: How can i find out what graduating platoon my father was in? The only info i have is he was in the 12th recruit batt. Jan. 1942.
@FmlRelationships all easy shit to remember, the only thing about Marine Corps. knowledge that would actually take some studying would be the test that corpsman take to get their fmf pin
your talking about our PFT. Recruits run way more than that in basic. We ran our asses everywhere!
oh ok ok....my bad...my bro was in the marines...he got out in 99' now im working on becoming one.
that sucks man, I was there about 7 years ago. Good luck. I was n 0311, then a 0321 reconman.

Yellow footprints October 3rd, 1972.
Not necessarily. Add it to the end of ITB / MCT, so that people don't have to wait until the fleet to learn that shit. (unless you're a pog, in which case you're more than likely to never learn it in the first place)
Am I seeing things? Are these Recruits wearing tennis shoes? All training used to be done in combat boots. Including swimming.

Did you forget hat the marines get a lot more funding for more training ? At least we all get the job done when it really counts...You must understand ... Every Branch has its own Gig going on..

Just for the record, you corrected the guy who misspelled mobile but did you check the spelling in YOUR entry? :-) Semper Fi
Btw, I'm referring to brute152 who hasn't even gone to boot camp yet.

They're in 1st phase and probably got their first PX store visit after their second haircut! Everything looks the same even though this vid is 17 years old!

Hollywood Marines!....we make the Corps look good!
rrrah!
Yall make the Corps look soft attending Baseball games 😂

I did the same shit. Always made sure to never drink out of the right one in the war belt.
i guess we get to walk and not be fast and intense because we are marines now huh? must be nice. lol
i graduate here on wednesday then i head for 2/3
dmellow45 everyone in the Army is a Soldier....no matter if your a ranger r not....everyone in the army is a soldier...but a Marine is a Marine for earning the title Marine and that Marine is only a Marine...not a soldier....like other people in military branches r called. get my point. Oorah.

boots.
still wearing go fasters.

MCRD = Mail Chow Racks Drill
@FmlRelationships none of that shit really matters, just FYI.
oh my gosh, he just compared the airforce with the marine corps.... you have to have the highest asvab scores yes, but that has nothing to do with intelligence. i went to boot camp with some really high scoring recruits who just sucked at everything. it takes competence to make it in the marine core and ever hope to hit anything higher than frickin E-3
look at div that just marched by everything on point. Army aint got shit on the marines. No other branch has anything on these guys. Except my div in the navy perfected everything marched just like these guys.
granted ... i haven't been in, in a long time. when did they go to letting everyone wear their go-fasters??
you must be done by now :D. ohhh raahhh!
@barmtrail ask him yourself?
@FmlRelationships probably can
@ProJanitor That I did, I'm a poolee.
Roger that.
@TheHoomaikai times have changed. Doubletiming is probably politically incorrect.
OORAAHH!!!
Yes, very basic in a sense that you learn vietnam esque tactics. You learn nothing about radios, IEDs, casualty evaluation / procedures. and yes, I know all about cax, thanks.
lol so now you're pretty much saying you want to add another three weeks to Boot, yeah?
You know it takes years to get into Recon dont plan on making recon right out of recruit training
@Zombifi3r Marine- muscles are required idiosy not excepted you know cuz they need intelect

Id love to discuss this in person. Please, humor me.
@SlaughterEmAll Oh hey!! thats pretty cool, i have some female poolee friends, itll be cool they wont have to ship tp parris island in the future.
@Zombifi3r Muscles Are Required Intellience Not Essential.
OORAH
I am asking I went to san diego for boot. And Parris Island is no better then San Diego. The only difference is the sand fleas.
