* Shady Marine Recruiter standing in corner *
“Hey kid, you want a *Camaro* ?”
BlakeBiundo no, that’s what the Army recruiters say
“No thanks I like fords”
*shady army recruiter in the corner*
“Hey brother, you want a brand new Charger or Camaro? You want millions of dollars in bonuses? Then join the u.s. army infantry now!”
*Marine recruiter*
"You can have all you can eat Crayons"
Buy that mustang at like 20% interest
Kid on the streets: "Hey, wanna buy some drugs dude"
Marine Recruiter: "This is my turf, back off"
LMFAO

Rolls up ayyy man u wanna join? Lol

The drive by was funny as shit😂
Planting the idea
Don't do it, don't join the marines. He's lying.
asdfghjkl why the hell not
Lol "Hey man what school you go to?"
"I don't go to school"
True playa^^^^^
Add it to thug life videos😭
Epic
He didn’t say that though.
'We got nothing to lose, were marines.'
*best recruiter line of all time*
"Top marine recruiter in the country"
First interaction, "You want to join the marines?
Dude-"Not really."
And your problem with that joined at 17 teen no regrets
@@patrickreilly2338 do you take everything so seriously? That was obviously a joke
Patrick Reilly I loved the benefits of the military. Like free education, housing, etc.
Preston Garvey imposter
@@prestongarvey7244 He joined the marines at 17. Dude's clearly not smart
Aye man, what school you go to? You look real familiar!
Me: “Stranger danger!!! Stranger danger!!!” Go AWAY!!!”
Yeah man, I was thinking the same thing. That's some real predator shit! Lol
Lol
Gentleman Jake. 😂😂😂
What are you 10yr old?
Not predatory at all. That’s literally recruiting. It’s basically handing out flyers. except verbal flyers. Lol
Read the contract, dont sign until you understand what you are doing. Don't be afraid to walk out
XxMetalGorxX ^^^^^ Solid advice right there, trust me I know.
+XxMetalGorxX What if they're saying things I don't understand? I'm 18, I want to join and fight for The Constitution and our inalienable rights and such. What I'm afraid of is that I go and hear something that scares me like military jargon I don't understand, and it makes me look stupid, and lowers my chance of getting into the Marines.
+Dave Strider (Future) Then you bring your parents along, talk to other marines or bring a lawyer to look over the contract if you proceeded that far. Reach out to people who can and want to help you. You are making the decision, so be mature about it. The only thing that will lower your chances is your health and test scores. Dont let them fuck you.
Dave Strider Talk to active marines that ARE NOT RECRUITERS OR ASSOCIATED WITH THEM. They'll give you a run down of what to expect. You can also PM me if you want I'm active duty and work with marines (I am not one though)
If you have any questions please shoot me an email at johnfrost@gmail.com. My name is Cpl. Frost of the United States Marine Corps. The initial decision of enlisting is the scariest part, but you have to know what you want to do. Many things you don't have to be afraid of. All of these men and dickheads saying you're gonna be brainwashed and it'll make you or break you is bull. They're trying to scare you into a certain mindset. Block it all out. Bring a buddy when you see the recruiter or even a parent. Heck I'd even take notes. Anyways shoot me an email if I haven't answered any further questions or if you have more questions. I'm on my email almost all the time. Thankyou.
For me, I just walked in and said i want to be a marine. I filled out the paperwork, took my asvab, and doing physical/swearing in next week. Nobody brainwashed me. All the recruiters have done is help push my paperwork up the line and give me a ride to meps XP i like my recruiters
+cody blablabla your brain was washed as soon as you believed the garbage propogated by the mainstream media.
+Charlie Collingbourne Can you explain what you mean further?
+Charlie Collingbourne Hows mcDonalds working out?
same
Same thing for me. My friend was leaving out to Boot Camp on April 3. On Sunday I told him I'd like to join. He gave the recruiter my number and the recruiter called me that same day. The next day I drove an hour to go meet him and I took an ASVAB practice test in the office and got 43. Then he called up his what he called "boss" and he talked to me. Long story short. Tuesday I get a free ride to meps and a free stay in a nice ass hotel and then I'll be a poolee
As an Airman I LOVE the marine corps. They always treat us with respect and are very down to earth great guys. When I had a chaplain appointment in tech school at fort lee (an army base). I asked a marine warrant officer for directions. He made phone calls and went out of his way to make sure I got to the appointment that i very much needed to attend. Other branches talk shit on each other, thats okay, I have just as much respect for the marine corps as anyone else. Regardless if you are an Airman like me, a marine, sailor soldier or coast guardsman, you are a brother or sister🇺🇸
Wow, how wonderful. imo Marines are some of the best, most squared away guys you will ever meet!
God bless you, Staff Sgt. Rodriguez. USMC Recruiters literally change lives. Thank you for ALL you do!! (Signed, a grateful MoM)
"Wanna talk to the Marines?"
Somehow I was just imagining every Marine in America sitting in the back of his car eagerly looking out the window.
In all fairness, you need to admire his tenacity. That MOS sucks. Female marine here. Don't ever just talk to someone off the street like this. Do your own homework-lots of it-and go in prepared. Research every branch and ask yourself if you want to even join. Then go in with a parent and talk and talk. Nobody ever lied to me bur there was a lot of bending of the truth and things that they neglected to mention that you might not catch if you just walk in off the street.
I joined the Marines because I wanted to fight and they kept their promise to me.
Shteinshtein Jewbacca Shekelburg are you kidding me? Benefits are the same regardless of branch of service. Now you're probably gonna tell me that army gets paid more too. Man gtfo of here with that "more benefits bs"
Um no they aren't. You ever compare an E club at Camp Twenty nine palms to say one at Benning?
Carlos Rojo there's more to benefits than just the medical dental they give you. Standard of living is higher. That's a benefit. But hey, you keep being high speed
I was going into the Marines back in 05 but the recruiter lied his ass off about embassy guard duty so I walked down the hall and joined the army. Should have kept walking to the air Force their women are hot and straight
Ahhh the green weenie is strong with this one
American-Infidel-5.56 lol ur username is lit
LEL
Hahahahaha
Drive-by recruiting? No better than a Jehovah or a dealer.
One takes your money, one gives you money.
Ayezeyah Jones Modelling agencies, acting agencies dont throw you in jail if you want to quit. A job must really suck if you don't let people quit.
mr x then don't take the job, we have a volunteer military, so they should not have joined if they did not want to make that commitment
dog guy obviously you have no idea what the term voluntary means GI Jackoff, I start a job at Company X, 2 days later I decide it's not for me, I quit!!The military is the only organization which throws people in jail who quit, you cant voluntarily quit!
mr x well you can you just get a less than honorable discharge, again if you don't want to risk being put in jail, then don't join, it's that simple, also the military is not a corporation so dont equate them
Damn 3 Navy Achievement Medals ,, niceeeee
Jesus, you're everywhere
How many videos to comment on a day dude wtf
Sailor
BIg papa is here!!
JTsuits forget them 3 NAMS this Marine has 2 Commendation Medals already.
I'm in the Army and I know there's alot of trash talk between the two branches but I really respect men like this and any other service men. Good luck in the future, Marine!
Hooah!
I am an Army Recruiter in Los Angeles and I love these recruiting videos. It shows a little bit how recruiting is and how we feel about our applicants. I am exceptionally proud when they come back after training and visit. It's a great feeling.
There is something about this video that just screams "used car salesman", but I just can't quite put my finger on it.
yeah because the military needs recruiters because not enough people would join on their own. It takes them influencing people.
Just like with used cars, you gotta make a shitty deal sound appealing
If my recruiter was like him I'd be in a year ago
I laughed my ass off when he said "wanna come talk to the marines" in his car like he was just cruisin for some men. No disrespect OORAH.
I retired after 23 years in the Navy. If I could, I'd do it all over again. Great life, great people.
People who say "Recruiters don't give a shit about you only the monthly quota" are far from wrong. I'm a POOLE, and never once has there been any sign what so ever that they don't give a shit, completely the opposite. We've had days at the recruiting office where they'll invite you to hangout, text from to time time to hangout outside the office, hell if they know something's wrong they do the best they can to help out even with school work. Recruiters are by far some of the nicest guys you can meet and are only there because they want you to succeed. (We also have guests who come in regularly and who aren't interested in joining that are always welcome and are always treated the same with full respect.)
I was a recruiter, and yes, we only cared about our quotas because most of us would rather be back in the fleet doing our real jobs instead of having our careers depend on the whims of 17 year olds. People don't sign up for the Marines to be recruiters. Of course we are nice to you - we want you to like us so you'll sign up and our bosses will stop yelling at us or making us walk around WalMart at midnight to find new applicants. lol
cause they don't obviously they only care about the quota they deadass get forced to become recruiters because noone wants to become one. then they get scolded and if they dont reacht heir quota they could get denied a promotion for a job they didnt even want.
“Yea go open contract, the best jobs come from open contract”
lol
Yea right 😂
This Marine will be one hell of a marketing and sales consultant!
At 17 teen no regrets know it all
Funny you say that, they do go through extensive marketing courses in recruiter school. They also go through training with studio lights and cameras (or at least they did in 1976, wouldn't see why that would change). So they make excellent candidates for news broadcasts as well.
The marine corps is a great choice. I started there. Got my bachelors and masters degree because of my service transitioned from enlisted to officer and now a deputy us Marshal. It all started in the corps though.
Marines will not be loyal to you and will run you out before you can hit 20 years
You're a pig now? Shame.
awesome decision led to great outcome
Declan C. Valliantheart I love how once someone becomes a cop people instantly think they are the devil like bitch damn you didn’t even give them a chance
Same here. I did my obligations in the corps and now I work for the US Government. It all started in the marines
The best liar, eh!! My recruiter told me I'd never measure up. Wouldn't make it out of boot camp. He was wrong. Worked though....I graduated just to prove him wrong!! After boot camp/ITR I went to his rcruiting office and shook his hand. He told me HE knew I could but I didn't. Almost cried with pride. Semper Fi!! 😀
Wow thats great. Helping so many young people catching ptsd. Good work senior Rod.
“When someone shout at me, I shout back” boot camp must have been interesting
The only thing he's shouting back is "aye sir"
Patrick Star SHOT at me he said as in enemy bullets
I love the Marines they go above and beyond the call of duty they are very dedicated.
A big shout out to my brothers and sisters that stepped up and joined the Marine Corp. Even though I'm in the Army, I have tremendous respect and gratitude towards to the Marine Corp and as well as for the other military branches.
Your a real Human,i salute you fellow American.!
AGREED!! Being a Marine Corps Recruiter is by far the HARDEST job in the entire Marine Corps. DI's get the glory but the recruiter is in the trenches taking it for the TEAM... to make America's Finest Fighting Force for the future.
Walks up to front door*
Rings bell*
Door opens*
"Hello sir would you like to learn about our lord and savior, Uncle Sam, hi I'm Sargent Walker, you wanna join"
Sergeant*
as some one who worked as a recruiter, I'm here to say that i much prefer it if a candidate told me to fuck off than play games with me wasting my god damn time
jonnieo ohara ugh, You get no sympathy from us. There's a special place in hell for lawyers, used car salesmen, and Marine recruiters.
-Semper
when i got out of the Marines i went back to school i was walking down the hallway and 2 Army recruiters were posted up. one of them saw the memorial bracelet i wear and flags me down goes what branch were you in. i told him Marines and that I'm done jacking off in porta shitters
Why are you guys so persistent then? lol.
MrMaacin05 g
MrMaacin05 I thought I was done in 2011. But last year I found myself in a freshly cleaned one in Georgia. Was almost as hot as Iraq. So I couldn't help myself and had to rub one out for memories
this video is a hidden gem on youtube, “we dont accept applications, only commitments.” what an awesome quote. thanks for sharing
My Air Force JROTC Instructor was the same way where he worked tooth and nail to help us (cadets) enter into any branch of the Military. He is the biggest reason why I want to Commission into the Air Force.
Lieutenant Sinopa did you get to pick where you were stationed or do they put people from Florida in Cold places like Vermont on purpose
Blessings.🙏 & Thank you.
I'm sorry but I absolutely love how hard this guy works. I wish my Air Force recruiter tried 10% as hard as this gentleman. Heck even the Navy recruiters I saw were not as determined as this guy lol. Never talked to an Army recruiter though. Outstanding job Staff Sgt. Franky Rodriguez!
I HAD ONE MARINE RECRUITER PULL UP AT MY HOUSE. THESE DUDES AIN'T MESSING AROUND.
LMAO
This man is the best taker of souls😂💀
We don't accept applications - only commitments.
If I was 18 again and met Sgt Frank Rodriguez, I would be signed up so quick, A real man and a real marine. Semper fi, Sgt. May God bless the United States Marines.
I am a Canadian Army MP Recruiter. I love seeing recruits completing the enrolment process and getting trained up/new opportunities. It can be life changing. It's definitely a calling. Not every soldier makes a good Recruiter. There has to be a definite passion for the job.
that's my recruiter.. he is the reason im at where im at today> so thank you SSgt!!
HE LITERALLY SOUNDS LIKE MY RECRUITER!
Sameee
Just saw this comment. Lol I just got out 😂
@@PTunnelly wow years later you replied lul ! i’m honestly surprised !
You just got out?
8411... Door to the Corps !.
Outstanding !. The World's Finest US Marines. Semper Fi.
That's wild, this was right around when we kept sending more troops to Iraq. Enlisting was a lot different back then. Took balls as you knew you were more than likely going to deploy.
Thanks for your service
and the best lier award goes to
Your mom
anyone who says that wasn't a bad joke
Taylor Johnson army recruiters lol
Taylor Johnson at least he can spell liar
Taylor Johnson hey, not all recruiters lie mine is very up front and honest!
the recruiter is the toughest job there is in the military and staff sgt rodriguez has his act together.
Recruiter: “Ay man wanna join the Marines?”
Me: “lmao nah bro don’t wanna die for Israel but thanks for offering”
☹
Israel Guimaray sorry dude I meant the country not you
@@chipskylark8475 lol it's good I'm just messin with that emoji
@@prestongarvey7244 oh baby ❤❤
0:30 "Want to talk to the Marines?"
Kid: "Not really" SMART KID!
i must be going for a good reason then. i took a year to work and really think about what i wanted to do after high school even though i have always thought military. i was told that they lie from the start but the money they offer never really peaked my interest, I want to go to protect people. and as far as the chance that i die, i know it can happen (maybe not fully) but im taking the risk so i can try and prevent others from dieing.
Rod is a good dude...I never knew he got this award....
I came from a long line of Marines so I had heard every horror story from Boot Camp to the Fleet to EAS. I remember just sitting there as the Recruiter laid down all that bullshit...."yea man, you put the Blues on and panty's get wet for miles"...was about the only true thing he said. I went in a guaranteed 0311. My only fear was being made a Pog and never hearing the end of it from my relatives (all 03's and nobody ever rose above Corporal since the war of 1812....though some were promoted to Corporal more than once). Not much shit you can talk about an 0311 MOS. The entire Marine Corps is built around it. I couldn't do Recruiter Duty. It's basic aggressive sales. I could never work in Sales.
Wow!!! What a great inspiration for young people !!!
i love the Marine dress blues.
Staff Sergeant Hood was my recruiter. August 1981 in the wonderful city of Detroit was when I first spoke with him. Then the real fun began. The Marine Corps was my ticket out of that shithole.
Recruiter: *pulls up to the curb* “hey kid, you wanna be a marine?”
Kid: “N-no my mom said to say no to recruiters”
Recruiter: *looks to partner* “shit he knows!” *slams on the gas, and skeets away*
This is so inspiring
this whole video looks like the same format as a COPS episode
Nothing but respect.
Everytime i watch this video i always wonder how he has the authority to get that kids transcript
The kid signs off on it
one time two recruiters came to my school in Missouri and had a long ass chat with me and I barely said a word. One guy showed me what they do, where they do it, and why. After about 15 minutes he asked whether I'll join, I grabbed as many freebies as possible, sat there and just said "mate, I'm from Australia" (actually am though). Never seen such a disappointed look in my life
The Army recruiter saw my desperate unemployed ass from a mile away and got sucked into the army.
You went from being a grunt to pretty much a corporate function. The outside world would LOVE you!
He's currently the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps. 😂
I am a Poolie in the USMC and my ship date is 20120117 (Jan. 17th 2012).. My recruiter was helpful, no pressure, and I felt like he took care of me. I believe it is wise to be somewhat guarded when it comes to talking to recruiters, but I guarantee that 95% of Marine Recruiters will not give you inaccurate information. I have some videos on my profile about the Process of Enlistment. If you're thinking of joining the USMC then you should watch them.
You out of the corps?
This video should be titled "The Top Blue Falcon in the Country"
Always respect your recruiter, he's gonna be the nicest person you'll ever meet in the Corps. LOL
*rolls up "Hey man you want some crayons?"
Thumbs up for past, present & future Marines. Semper Fi!
i wanted to join the Marines, but i couldn't because of my knee injury
Recruiters are unique in the way that they get to live and work in the civilian world while still wearing the uniform. It can be a difficult temptation to get "detached" from the normal day-to-day stuff of their respective branch.
You took my son and it was the worst feeling in the world!!! But you made him a respectable man. I still miss him and it hurts that he's not here. For all those mama's whose boys are in camp send random Birthday Cards so they get harassed by their sergeants and friends 😆😆😆😆!
I went into a recruiting office, straight up there was a big meeting and the top guy just started talking shit about my weight. I havent been back since lol
I want a recruiter like that, but I hear they are few and far between.
Why would you want him? Recruiters like him are extremely common. He sounds like every recruiter on the planet. Saying big man every sentence, desperately asking any young adult or kid if they're interested. He just seems so fake.
I was lucky I got a very straight forward recruiter honest and to the point!
Eethal He’s like a used car salesman.
Eethal I've had amazing Recruiters
Lol my recruiter hasn’t lied to me. Probably cause my dad is in the military. Orrr he’s just a straight forward person
Thank you
Hey ! Marine ! leave those kids alone !!! 😂
What so a profile like u could engage at 17 teen no regrets
What's up man funniest video ever
Can somebody tell me where i can find that Staff Sergeant Frankly Rodriguez??? Seriously
He's in Kissimmee, FL now.

Im going to pretend I didnt see that and go about my business.
Same
I wish that recruiters in Canada did this. Thanks for the video, I'll deff try to enlist.
Former Marine Recruiter myself. It was the hardest duty I have ever had as a Marine! Above combat too! Definitely! Good video brother! Not just as a Marine but former recruiter too. What you got on first phase line? Just kidding! Inside joke only real Marine Corps Recruiters understand. Oooh Raah!
Kenyatte2 Jones "Dude you got a 32 on the ASVAB? YOU CAN BE A GENERAL IF WANTED TO!" "Boot camp will be the best time of your life, you get your own room and they have an arcade"
Justin Reyes I love that video more than anything
Woah there friend, you need to dial that moto down from a 7 to a respectable 4.5
I ain't gonna fall into your trap.
Man I've been trying to become a Marine my whole entire life it's my biggest dream I finally decided to go ahead and sign up Semper Fi
My recruiter's a pretty cool guy, he always calls me "bro, braa, dude, man" or my favorite "cuz". Its kinda weird sometimes cause I always call him sir, but whatever I like him. And yea I know he's not an officer so yer not supposed to call him "sir", but its a Southern thing "sir" and "ma'am" were beat into my brain at an early age
Enjoy it. It's the last time a Sergeant or Staff Sergeant is going to be acting like your boy until you leave the Marines.
That's just how they treat you before you go afterwards you'll never talk to him again sorry man but there just being friendly so you don't back out
Jake Harris 7
Like u attitude xusn at 17 teen no regrets
Patrick Reilly can you calm your tits ?
wonder if this is the guy who recruited one of my old best friends from that area at that time. he was never right after he came back from Iraq. very nice dude before he left. wonder how many other kids in those pictures had their lives ruined
I took the ASVAB my senior year in High School and got a 73. The Marine recruiters called constantly for the next year or so. I ended up going to college from HS and not in the military. To be honest, I was flattered that they wanted me to join that bad :D
you should've joined the air force dumbass
Oh wow, aren't you hot shit? Getting into college isn't shit.
They probably didn't really give a shit about you. They just want you for the numbers
Schools important stay educated
yeah i got a 71 and i can basically do any job in the marines its a good number so im not surprised they did that
as soon as school starts i'm going to talk to a marine recruiter.
swear to God if I'm walking down the street and a marine recruiter asks me to join I'mma be like "That a no from me devil dog. hooah!" (I'm Army btw)
Wish I had him as a Recruiter.
😂😂😂I think it's so funny when people say recruiters are liars.. They tell you want you want to hear . If you don't know how to do research to corroborate what they said then that's on you. The military does help with schooling most people that I see complaining can't do the schooling because of their jobs in the military. So they say oh he lied to me said I could go to school and I couldn't ... Or when they say they want to travel.. But can't exactly travel how they want to.. The smart thing to do is to research on your on and then go talk. That way you can have some knowledge of stuff and find people who just recent joined and finished their basic training your recruiter might not even know what basic is like or any questions you have for it but yeah I'm off my soapbox
In other words do the recruiters job for him? You're just corroborating what people are saying about how recruiters lied. As far as quotas? Of course they have quotas.
Hay stupid joined at 17teen No regrets
“Mamma told Johnny not to go downtown. Marine Corps recruiter was hanging around”.
Hey psst, want some freedom
Yea i hate recruiting, have done weeks of recruiters assistance and it’s stressful i could not see myself doing t for 3 yrs. big respect for recruiters
i wish they did this in holland
They don't have recruiters in Holland?
Tucker Mathis they probably dont come around all friendly like him. You probably have to just enlist
Thank you For your service sir im going to join soon.
They manipulate the shit out of you lol
+RSlordRS Our recruiters at my RSS are pretty honest. They never promised a rose garden and told us there would be days, weeks and even months where shit might suck but the same thing can happen in college or a career field.
Recruiter duty was absolutely miserable for two of my three years on the streets. With that being said, I do miss the hustle.
Take that hat off inside "best recruiter in the nation"
its not a hat, its a cover
Plus he’s in New Jersey.... you always keep your cover on in NJ
99% of these recruits will come back better than when they left civilian life. I prefer these young people join the core than loaf through their young years. Not having spent some time in the military is probably the only thing I regret.
