This video I discuss some of the jobs which can see combat under current recent historical events. Patreon: / nickymgtv Social Media Snapchat: Emseagray Instagram: NickyMGTV
Hi Nicky, I was a Fleet Marine Corpsman during the Vietnam War. I was attached to 1st Battalion 5th Regiment in 1966and 67. I was with A Company for the first 6 months then went to our Battalion Aid Station for the other 6 months. Do I have stories to tell 😁 . For many years after I completely shut this experience out and closed my mind about the experience. About 5 years ago I got this desire to learn where I was and what we did. All I remembered was that I was in 1/5. So a little research and tons of information flooded my mind and now I can't stop talking about it to anyone who will listen. I love the Marines though.
Thank you Nick. Im watching to learn thinks because my man is in the Navy. And you are so easy to listen to. I just need to learn so I dont say stupid things because Philip can be a little touchy.
I saw combat as an HM3 in Viet Nam w/the Marines in ‘66. I can’t think of anything to recommend it, I just did what I was trained to do and finished out my time aboard a destroyer tender, the USS Bryce Canyon AD36. I have no regrets but have to say my time aboard ship was the most enjoyable.
I served a tour in Afghanistan as part of seal squadron team four in 2010 2011. I was an AG with weather reporting taking up 15 minutes out of the week and the rest of the time we were grunts. Earned my exw badge from Master Chief Roth. Probably the proudest day of my life.
I was a Seabee in '65-'67, was on two deployments to Chu Lai and Da Nang Vietnam, don't even say I wasn't combat. Not every day but more than I cared for. Need to give props to the Seabees for what we did, sometimes under fire or returning fire with my M-14
I wanted to see combat, and the first contact I got a 17 year old Marine got his balls blown off along with his legs by a booby trap IED. That's when war got real and I was scared shitless everytime I deployed.
@@Digital2pulse It is impossible to be a SEAL in any capacity at 17. You can only begin to enlist at 17 with parental consent. You would then have to complete all of your basic training as well as complete the entire SEAL pipeline and then make it onto a team, which would not be six due to the fact that experience is required before even being considered.
Being a crewman on a smallboy like a DDG or a CG can give you a lot of options to hold a technical rating and be trained in small arms combat . You can be a member of the security alert team , landing party , boarding party , or prize crew . I was an Operations Specialist and a member of all the teams listed above . I was an MP for two years in Yokosuka Japan with the NEC 9545 without switching to Master At Arms , keeping my OS rating . Most of the personnel on smallboys who serve on these teams are people in the Weapons and Operations departments such as Gunner's Mates , Fire Controlmen, Torpedomen , Operations Specialists , Sonar Technicians, Electronic Warfare Technicians, etc. If someone wants to join the navy and is a "gun nut" , like me and many others , become a Gunner's Mate if they want to serve on surface ships , or a Torpedoman if they want to go on submarines . Either way can be a good starting point for a future gunsmith in the civilian world . GMs and TMs can get assigned to work in the armories of SEAL teams , MP departments , SEABEE companies , and ships armories , and work with cool weapons . I'm sorry if im getting a bit off point , but some people want to get into combat for the action , while others just might want to have fun shooting guns . Thanks Nick !
Shard420 If a ship were at sea and got into combat the GMs would be manning the main guns and maybe small arms . Main guns , like the 5 inch guns on destroyers and cruisers , would be used against larger vessels, and smaller vessels beyond the range of small arms like 50 caliber machine guns and rifles . In port GMs and other qualified personnel are armed to protect the ship , pier , and base against attacks . They carry shoulder weapons and handguns . Attacks can come from land at the entrance gates of the base , or from sea by small vessels or swimmers . Look at the USS Cole , attacked by suicide bomb boat while refuelling import. Then there are the SEABEES , who work on land and must provide their own security , every one of them is trained in small arms . I'm thinking that SEABEES have GMs in their batallions to run the armories and be instructors . When I was an MP our armorer was a TM . So , Yes , GMs and other sailors can get into small arms combat .
im currently getting my college credits to join at a decent rank after boot camp, if all goes well my next rank would be an officer and I would be training for that as well. So far I gotta put 10-12 hours a day in college, study for asvab and get fit. I’ll be enlisted by next year according to plan
My dad was once in a riverine squadron out of the Yorktown Naval Weapons station in Virginia. He served a tour in Al Basara, Iraq back in 2008. The squadron was stationed with the Army 1st infantry and he ended up receiving an Army achievement medal, and they all received an army meritorious unit citation. For guys looking for an interesting job in the navy I would definitely consider joining and trying to get Riverine orders. It's a lot more difficult now, because last I heard they navy really downsized the already small riverine program. Also the riverine badge looks pretty bad ass in combination with the ESWS.
NICKY MGTV Yeah I don't even know that there still is a riverine squadron in Yorktown. There might still be one in Little Creek though, not entirely certain.
You forgot to mention Navy Seabees they have a high chance to see combat (as a defensive unit) since they build the camps and maintain the roads and even perform convoy duties.
Dude there is no way that can be true. Seabees may need to go outside the wire here and there, but do not carry out direct combat against the enemy unless engaged first. Where every combat unit of the Marines has at least 1 corpsman per platoon every time they leave the wire.
We did have a Medic every time either Navy/Army. But I know multiple seabees with purple heart. We don't seek it out but we have had to help Army and Marines with patrols and security. Taking a seabee job you have to take multiple tactical and shooting classes and training. Seabees also get attached to seal teams. Do your research!
@tyler crips, define patrol. What Marine unit(s) were the CB’s helping on said “patrol”? Multiple units can engage in small arms fire or encounter IED’s while outside the wire, but the video is mainly speaking to direct combat. Units that perform dismounted aka foot patrols or kicking in doors or taking part in an actual offensive operation against the enemy. Yes the CBs are a very good support unit when it comes to construction, but in today’s modern fights, it’s not as common like back in WW2 to see CBs engaged in actual combat overseas. Y’all still kick ass in the construction world though and that’s something to be proud of! I tip my hat to y’all.
My buddy's dad served on a Navy PBR in Nam. Just like in the movie Apocapolyse Now. Almost died after the boat was hit with a RPG Does the Navy still have PBR's? or just is that now SWCC?
Do all chaplain assistance have to do every part of that, or do you request specific parts?like if you wanted to specifically be a guard do you ask for that or do you just have to do everything?
I was about to make a comment about MA and GM and riverines but then I saw all the comments lol. In the future, you might want to make a disclaimer in the beginning like "yes you could potentially see combat in any Navy job including CS but these are the jobs where it is actually likely that you will see combat given the nature of modern conflicts that the United States is involved in." I think that would have avoided a lot of the confusion. I got to say I'm surprised you mention diver, yes those guys might work with SEAL's on their missions but that is rare.
Yes I thought long and hard before I decided to go through with picking medic. I have no doubt I want to save lives but the whole dying or being maimed, I had to think about for a while because before I never had. Lots of people don't think about that stuff. I decided to do it fully knowing what could happen
I’m Enlisting in the US Navy after I graduate this year in the NJROTC Program, I already contacted my recruiter, Ive just turned 17 last month, I’m choosing my job as a Gunners Mates Riverine Machine Gunner, I see that the Navy is stereotyped these days that the Navy is less about war fighting that the Navy is all about Boat water engineers, and it has basically been like that 15 years after the last World War&Korean War, which is not true there are jobs like Navy Seals, Combat Pilot, Missile&Rocket Technicians, Gunners Mates, Riverines, and much more etc etc.
Haha it's crazy man, I'm enlisted into the navy at 17, I signed as a GM myself, and wanted to be in riverine or vbss, I have my special operations contract for navy seals myself and so I leave in 2 months for boot camp, then buds haha, best of luck to you big dawg
I’m a former Navy DS. I’m considered a combat veteran because WHERE I was deployed not what I did while deployed. Fixing computers was in the rear with the gear. Data Systems Technicians no longer exist in USN
Nah if you want to see combat and be in the Navy seabees is not the community you want. We build and no we don't fight that's just are motto because of our history. Sure we get weapons training but its not to be offensive it's only for defense. Plus there's always marines to protect us before we would ever see combat.
You just never know, I was aboard the USS Ponce in Oct 2016 with CRS 8 ESIT, but there were a lot of Sailors who were not Expeditionary. They just like us were there when Yemen shot missiles at us, the Mason and the Nitze. So you just never know.
SAR corpsman #1 with marine air wing or force recon. Do not go with grunts, too much humping gear and swimming in the mud. With air wing you get to fly everywhere.
Got a question, what are the requirements for being awarded a combat action ribbon? Being fired at, small arms, fired at/mortar/artillery/rocket. That said, we had to participate as in firing back as in a fire fight. Question is, do you have to fire back and be active in the fight. I heard it both ways and wondered what the criteria is now? I'll check back, if ya answer questions.
rather than try to type it out here is the link which outlines the requirements www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/reference/messages/Documents/ALNAVS/ALN2012/ALN12068.txt
Would a Fire Control person be kind of a ‘combat’ job, considering they basically operate the weapons platforms and are the communicator or middleman between the OOD/TAO and the Weapons themselves? I want to be either an OS, RP, or FC/FCA. Edit: I am 15, currently in JROTC and want to join the United States Navy.
Not funny at all, Seabees served in every war from WWII to the Middle East. I was a Seabee first and foremost, didn't even claim the Navy. MCB 4 in Vietnam '65-'67. Only contact I had was at the T-Ramps at Da Nang in '67, tried to get some supplies we couldn't get, wasn't allowed to board the LST by my fellow "brothers" in the Navy.
TheKon rescue swimmers have the smallest chance of seeing combat out of the 5 spec war communities. You’ll be trained for it, but the likelyhood of either absolutely next to none
I’ve seen that generally more Navy men have died in every war (by a lot) then Marines or Army. I just don’t think they are glorified like Marines or Army.
Seabees definently. Got a buddy who has been ambushed several times and sadly has a number of confirmed kills. His team just got done building a new school and literally the day after they finished, was blown up by a car bomb
none that I could mention based on the past decade under current combat. Obviously gunners mates, AW's etc. could see it based on varying theatre of war.
@@NICKYMGTV you forget man there are little known operations going on in other parts of the world that involve some other rates that don't even make the news. Back during the 90s some operations took place in the Caribbean that few people know about. They involved Seals and regular Navy rates not just corpsman. Those might come to light in 20 or 30 years time.
I'm not a serviceman, never have been. My mom was a VA employee for 47 years. She knew a former Navy Commander who was a nurse. She talked about corpsmen often. She served in Korean and Vietnam theater. Please know many of us who know of you think highly of you "red headed stepchildren" of the Navy.
i think you forgot to mention SARCs being a corpsman w a marine recon team. said it but not that term. for those of us that know nothing about the navy.
You missed a few rates that have a higher potential to see combat. I would argue that CT's and IS's in certain communities have a greater chance of seeing combat that would an RP.
GP Reacts being attached to a special boat team, seal team, etc doesn’t make you an operator. You’re disco bring he fact that an RP is similar to a corpsman with all marine corps infantry units.
In my personal experience, I have seen a Chaplin do a total of 1 OP out of hundreds. And that was after the clearance was complete. However, there are rates that are NOT SO/SWCC/EOD that do OP with the Teams. Not to mention Combat Cameramen which I have also seen in combat.
@@speedbob2295 I'm guessing u seen his videos on the different ranks. What are you interested in more: Diver: swimming in the ocean Corpsmen: i think they are medics so medical stuffs Seabee: building things in the field
I'm a retired Seabee and applied for dive school but was denied because I had recently been in some trouble. Seabee divers are assigned to Underwater Construction Teams (UCT). They get mad respect, like corpsman or EOD. Seabees in general get respect, but Seabee Divers are next level. The first 25 frogmen, were from the Seabees, and the frogmen were essentially the first Navy Seals.
I know people end up regretting it but I want a combat job. I’ve been talking to the navy and want to see combat I know I most likely end up regretting it but would anybody recommend anything?
If I’m not mistaken Nicky said core-men not corpsman does he mean marines ??? Please someone help me out with this because I can’t find core-men in the Navy Job List
The Army has the best training if you're looking to serve in a combat MOS. No other branch of military service provides as many opportunities for combat troops.
I simply stated a fact that anyone who has served in combat arms can understand. The U.S. Army has far more schools than any of the other branches of service. Yes, that includes the U.S. Marine Corps.
Who undermined the fact that the Army is the largest of the military services? Every mos/rate has a very different role to play in regards to military operations. Every branch of service has a very different role that makes up the national defense posture of the United States. I think we have now covered the basic fundamentals of the military. The Army has the most opportunities for combat troops than any other branch of service. My original statement still stands as the truth.
What about the Navy EOD guys? I would think disarming bombs would put u in a combat zone/ situation. Just as dangerous as being in combat as well I would reckon.
Jay Smith under CURRENT situation with war. This video was not to cover every possible job but if someone wanted to see combat under the current war fighting forces.
William Renfro ikr since MAs are armed usually anyways I was wondering if they would return fire with small arms man the 50s or just go to the berthings and make ppl muster lol
It depends, when I was in the Fleet as the QMOW, (showing my age here....) I was qualified on the M60, M14 and M2, which were all on the Bridge wings at certain times depending on the Mission.
I was 8 years old in 2003, now I'm talking with a recruiter and starting the process to become a Navy officer. Time sure as hell flies
Douglas Riccobono so are you going to OCS
Douglas Riccobono I was 3 years old in 2003 and Im about to enlist

Thanks again Micky. I was an FMF Corpsman during the Viet Nam War (1966-67). I liked what you were saying about being in combat with the marines.

Hoorah. Thank you for your service. Current active duty Builder
But Seabees suppose build not fight. If you come under fire cuz someone dun goofed.
I was in the Marines in 1969 to 1975 out corpsman went everywhere we did. The ones I knew were great guys. Never bitched and we relied on them.
God bless NICKY
I’ve been wanting to join the navy but my biggest fear is not getting a good job in the navy.
SEABEES BABY
@@mikaljodan8405 I’ve been looking into corpsman and Seabees actually.

I would never qualify for a combat job but I still watch these.
Why not tho?
Forgot the Seabees. “We Build. We Fight.”
Being a crewman on a smallboy like a DDG or a CG can give you a lot of options to hold a technical rating and be trained in small arms combat . You can be a member of the security alert team , landing party , boarding party , or prize crew . I was an Operations Specialist and a member of all the teams listed above . I was an MP for two years in Yokosuka Japan with the NEC 9545 without switching to Master At Arms , keeping my OS rating .

Would you be able to do the differences between entering as a Navy Corpsman or a Commissioned Medical Officer? & your recommendations on both?
good video idea!
Do Navy Divers and AIRR rescue swimmers have a chance of seeing combat?
yes and no it depends
does Air crew or air rescue see combat like the rates you mentioned in this video
TheKon rescue swimmers have the smallest chance of seeing combat out of the 5 spec war communities. You’ll be trained for it, but the likelyhood of either absolutely next to none
@@theedonny8314 lol what about the divers i say that's smaller.
What about the Riverine community?
So hypothetically if I went to SWCC training and I failed I wouldn’t be kicked out of the navy entirely right? I’d just have to choose another job?
or go undesignated yes.
AW and GM
What abought the seabees
HM. SARC baby
I know right.
I know right.
Im Trying to do that now. But the slots for A school are all full. :(
i had a hm1 sarc save my life respect
I’ll be to paranoid always ready y’all in the military army r not always be ready always keep watch
I’ve seen that generally more Navy men have died in every war (by a lot) then Marines or Army. I just don’t think they are glorified like Marines or Army.
David Diaz and where’d you pull that from?
Yeah I would also like to know where you are getting this information
@Minnesotakiddo ___ Yeah, when we were fighting against German U-Boots, not a modern war in the middle east.
I think the corpsman you are referring to is SARC
Seabees definently. Got a buddy who has been ambushed several times and sadly has a number of confirmed kills. His team just got done building a new school and literally the day after they finished, was blown up by a car bomb
are there any other rates you didn't mention that could see combat?
none that I could mention based on the past decade under current combat. Obviously gunners mates, AW's etc. could see it based on varying theatre of war.
@@NICKYMGTV you forget man there are little known operations going on in other parts of the world that involve some other rates that don't even make the news. Back during the 90s some operations took place in the Caribbean that few people know about. They involved Seals and regular Navy rates not just corpsman. Those might come to light in 20 or 30 years time.
What about search and rescue? Those guys get thrown out into combat?
Be careful out there everybody.
I'm not a serviceman, never have been. My mom was a VA employee for 47 years. She knew a former Navy Commander who was a nurse. She talked about corpsmen often. She served in Korean and Vietnam theater. Please know many of us who know of you think highly of you "red headed stepchildren" of the Navy.
thanks for the kind words it means a lot.
Oh boy, 1 year to go!
enjoy your time
i think you forgot to mention SARCs being a corpsman w a marine recon team. said it but not that term. for those of us that know nothing about the navy.
What camera do you use ?
A camera
My rate is SAPR is that good?
You missed a few rates that have a higher potential to see combat. I would argue that CT's and IS's in certain communities have a greater chance of seeing combat that would an RP.
GP Reacts being attached to a special boat team, seal team, etc doesn’t make you an operator. You’re disco bring he fact that an RP is similar to a corpsman with all marine corps infantry units.
In my personal experience, I have seen a Chaplin do a total of 1 OP out of hundreds. And that was after the clearance was complete. However, there are rates that are NOT SO/SWCC/EOD that do OP with the Teams. Not to mention Combat Cameramen which I have also seen in combat.
I’m trying to decide if I should be a Seabee Diver or a Corpsmen
Do you watch General Discharge?
Sometimes why
@@speedbob2295 I'm guessing u seen his videos on the different ranks. What are you interested in more:
Diver: swimming in the ocean
Corpsmen: i think they are medics so medical stuffs
Seabee: building things in the field
I'm a retired Seabee and applied for dive school but was denied because I had recently been in some trouble. Seabee divers are assigned to Underwater Construction Teams (UCT). They get mad respect, like corpsman or EOD. Seabees in general get respect, but Seabee Divers are next level. The first 25 frogmen, were from the Seabees, and the frogmen were essentially the first Navy Seals.
@@speedbob2295 go watch his videos
All I heard was SEALs, corpsman, and marine
What about the VBSS?
Question: can you still go green side corpsman if you go to c school and get stuck with a technical job?
yes you can.
NICKY MGTV thank you! My recruiter is an aircrewman and had no clue when I asked him.
I know people end up regretting it but I want a combat job. I’ve been talking to the navy and want to see combat I know I most likely end up regretting it but would anybody recommend anything?
What about aircrewmen
As a married green side corpsman, are you living on base with the marines?
Yes. You'll get a room in the barracks with the unit your assigned. If your married you can live in town or get base housing
Did you really mention "Religious Specialist" but NOT mention "Navy Sea Bees"?? This must be a mistake.
I go to basic in 5 months and I’m a GM e-2
US Navy Engineman and Seabees. We see combat too.
I’m leaving in two months for BU🤝
If I’m not mistaken Nicky said core-men not corpsman does he mean marines ??? Please someone help me out with this because I can’t find core-men in the Navy Job List
corpsman is prnounced "core-man" but I do not mean the marines.
NICKY MGTV oh okay thanks man I’m currently getting my neck tattoo removed to enlist I appreciate your incite my man
Navy sea bees
What about PC’s and LCS’?
why does nobody talk about Gunners Mate Rate???
Just singed as one yesterday!
Aren't there like ammunition rate?
@@daquanbookman9297 they are on patrol boats and landing craft along with Engineman and Boatswain Mates.
Sailor.X lmao you mean paint chipper
@@matthewclark8475 Hey my Brother was a BMC Riverine Sailor back during Vietnam. And everyone in the Navy chips paint at one time or another.
The Army has the best training if you're looking to serve in a combat MOS. No other branch of military service provides as many opportunities for combat troops.
MrMountaineer77 oh yeah I forgot the marines don't do any of that either. Obviously not in the military.
I simply stated a fact that anyone who has served in combat arms can understand. The U.S. Army has far more schools than any of the other branches of service. Yes, that includes the U.S. Marine Corps.
MrMountaineer77 while undermining the fact that the army is the largest branch and more money than the marine corps which have a very different roles.
Who undermined the fact that the Army is the largest of the military services? Every mos/rate has a very different role to play in regards to military operations. Every branch of service has a very different role that makes up the national defense posture of the United States. I think we have now covered the basic fundamentals of the military. The Army has the most opportunities for combat troops than any other branch of service. My original statement still stands as the truth.
What about the Navy EOD guys? I would think disarming bombs would put u in a combat zone/ situation. Just as dangerous as being in combat as well I would reckon.
He said busides spec ops or spec war
What about VBSS?
We just gonna forget about the Warships Gunnersmates?? GM3
Jay Smith under CURRENT situation with war. This video was not to cover every possible job but if someone wanted to see combat under the current war fighting forces.
What about jobs in ACB 1 & ACB 2 ??
If a ship is under attack do the GMs and MAs man the 50 Cals?
TheJuaxo I'm not sure about MAs but GMs are trained to defend the ship but I'm a civilian though
William Renfro ikr since MAs are armed usually anyways I was wondering if they would return fire with small arms man the 50s or just go to the berthings and make ppl muster lol
true. they might do all three, if say an aircraft carrier was attacked MAs might go and protect the reactor and other vital parts of the ship.
It depends, when I was in the Fleet as the QMOW, (showing my age here....) I was qualified on the M60, M14 and M2, which were all on the Bridge wings at certain times depending on the Mission.
TheJuaxo yes, at least the gunners mates do, my dad said when they went through the sued canal, the gms would be on the 50 cals.
i assume that you have gone to college, and if so, what did you major in?
Health care administrator and how did you assume? lol
NICKY MGTV you could kind of tell just the way you look and talk
