Talk about respect and honor... Did you notice that when a Marine is relieved of his post, the Marine taking over that post holds the door for him?
yeah, I watched the video
Yeah that was pretty clear in the video
@Honeysuckle Blossom this isn't about any one president. Regardless of your views you're protecting one of the most important people in the world. The LEADER of your country. doesn't matter if you're republican democrat or neither. It is an HONOR regardless.
@Honeysuckle Blossom I don't like democrats but I'd gladly guard Obama with my life if I was given that duty.
@Honeysuckle Blossom My mother told me that nobody will know how stupid u are if u keep your mouth shut. Your mother should have told you!!!
“So What Was Your Job In The Marines?”
*“I Opened The Door For The President”*
That’s like getting assigned the door holder in elementary school 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
now if thats not dedication i dont know what is
I see that most of these guys have " hash " marks ..so ..they been in for a while and have a primary MOS. ( Most likely 0311)
These Marines are top Marines and most likely take these positions for further advancement in Cotps
And he’d be the envy of all the other Marines.
Oddly, from 2009 to Jan 2017, many were assigned to that post, but now there's a list of volunteers.
I like how the Marine coming on duty, opens the door for the Marine going off duty. Very symbolic.
best looking uniform...
iamrichrocker ugly white truosers.Blue trousers with blood stripe is way better.
For an American uniform I guess.
Vulcan 14 what is your home country?
UK pig spotter
Outstanding Personal Appearance. (I wonder what kind of Shoe Polish he uses....)
As a former Marine I can tell you that 3 months of boot camp was long enough to not scratch my face. It may only be 30 minutes at their post which seems like nothing but try to stand at attention with perfect posture and not move when a mosquito is sucking on your nose. Not as easy as you think. It's all about discipline.
Wow! My step-father was a marine. And he was always so diligent, poised and intentional with his every move.
It is funny how people who have never served think that they have a right to make a negative comment here....that is like a man telling a woman giving birth to "Suck it up and take the pain"......
I have a buddy who was a White House Sentry under President Reagan. He said the President had Christmas parties for the support staff. He knew their names, spouses and most of their kids names. He said it was a real honor to serve there.
They should at least be armed with a rifle or sidearm.
Steven K Crossbows and axes would be sick
Axes pfft, Tomahawk.
thats what the secret service is for. Only MP's on duty can carry stateside as no one else in the military has police powers.
Steven K let's just say, there's more than meets the eye
I'm pretty sure marines can kick ass without guns
I'm former Army, and I'm proud of the Marines.
The respect is mutual. I REALLY dig the Old Guard.
Thank you for your service.
@@Junkman2008 I'm surprised those Marines are not armed since they are guarding the president!
@@Angry.General1461
But they are NOT guarding the president. That's what the Secret Service does. We are just the eye candy. If the White House was a navel installation, *we'd be armed.* 😉
@@Angry.General1461 Thats secret services job...
Does anyone say thank you once you open the door for them? It should show respect to a USA Marine...
DJ webnet, nope. They just keep talking on their phone or whatever and pretend like it's the automatic doors at Walmart. It's a thankless job.
It’s customary for them to say “ Good Morning “ or a simple nod of the head if they are engaged in conversation to the sentry after the door is opened.The sentry however will never answer back so as not to disturb their conversation.
I think that it’s one of those jobs where your presence being acknowledged is about the most you get.
If Hilliary were the president, doesn't matter whether your a civilian or military when you say to her; "Good morning madame president", she'll respond with "F- OFF ! ".
DJ webnet, no. This is not Mulberry Street in Anytown, USA. It’s the fucking White House. There’s a high degree of military bearing. There’s millions of thankless jobs out there.
That last part of changing the sentries.......really really smooth
Aw :( Why did they give away his secret of knowing when to open the door?
Jason King Because it's never been a secret. That has been well known for decades.
I am sure the Marines' leadership or the secret service reviewed this video before it was ever allowed to be posted.
The way I am looking at it they would be happy to let you press...any of their buttons...
Honestly I feel like the biggest form of psychological warfare is making people think you have better vision than they do. The british started the rumor about carrots being good for their eyesight because they didn’t want to give away the fact that they had radar.
@@kaziiqbal7257 Carrots are actually good for your vision, but it's not limited to just carrots, anything with vitamin A will benefit your vision (which includes most dairy).
that was the illest door opening I ever seen 3:41
"illest"
Smooth as fuck
Like Navy SEAL Jocko W. said in a podcast...the Marines have a reliability...consistency...and heritage that is undeniable.
Respect from Ex Forces member U.K! Brothers in ARMS till the END! God Bless
in arms?they don't
THanks Bro
Props to the Marines who can not move on TV or even look at the cams and the ones who can ignore a tree falling over
But you know he's laughing inside
@@thesmithersy I'm surprised those Marines are not armed since they are guarding the president!
It is funny how people who have never served think that they have a right to make a negative comment here....that is like a man telling a woman giving birth to "Suck it up and take the pain"......
I don't find any insults like "honorary umbrella holder" funny, these Marines are serving our country no matter what their duty, and it is our duty as Americans to support them, not to tease them, not to insult them, we must always support them no questions asked!
Let the guys have their banter ffs
Jake Kellogg it's the leftists ...they hate military and all that is honorable
and because an umbrella can be a weapon under the right circumstances
Jake Kellogg well names like “honorary umbrella holder” is also where Marines get nicknames like Jarhead.
ii ii Hah, and you matter? Fucking pathetic.

No matter your assignment your service to our country gets my respect and gratitude.

you know i had to do em
OniPlayz lol
I remember being in the reception room before Christmas. The Marines helped my grandfather around and helped him, later we entered the Roosevelt Room.
The World's Finest US Marines.
Semper Fi
Even just for 30 minutes I don't know how I would be able to stay still. I went to PI, I've been on duty. I feel like I would get bored pretty quick just standing there in my blues.
Amazing how they show respect for one another
That was too cool, much love & admiration for our men & women in uniform.
Him: "No laughing on post."
Also Him: *Laughs*
he's not on post idiot
I want a 30 minute shift
Considering there are only four of them total, it definitely is not just one 30 minute shift per day.
And I imagine that standing completely motionless for 30 minutes except to occasionally open a door feels like 3 hours.
@@Ryan-ch4is No, it wouldn't, due to the fact that you are constantly alert for the door buzzer, so time flies.
@@atfjacknz someone obviously has never joined the military and had to stand in formation for hours on end. Standing motionless feels like an eternity.
Tell it like it is Or why bother, want to feel like him? Go to the dmv and wait in line.
Starlesslemon I’m not in the military but standing at attention during marching band completely motionless is a bitch. 20 seconds literally feels like 2 minutes
That was pretty neat actually
Seeing these Marines work.
Thanks for sharing
Tradition and Honor. God Bless our troops.
it is good and fitting that they stand ready.
God is up in heaven eating popcorn watching people kill each other! With blessings like that you don't need bad things don't have to happen.
The change was so quick, I watched a couple Tomb of the Unknown Soldier videos and I came to this and I forgot that not everything is ceremonious in the military lol
Wolf, this is a high honor position known as Yankee White. These are infantry Marines who go through a rigorous selection process to have the chance to be a guard.
zachary davis wrong. Just like DIs there are some that slip the pool and are actually dumbass marines who don’t deserve to be there. It’s not an honor
I knew a guy who did it, and he had been an MP.
@@okamusubi4006 Your the dumbass, it is a honor, not all marines are "dumbasses" the ones who got there scored high on there AVASB test.
I love my country 2
@@chaxsie6792 Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery...fify! ooh rah!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There's no such thing as a small job when you are serving your country!
Man I love OUR country...
Very Honorable Job :) Thank you for your services!!
I'm also finished my duty in D.M.Z. In South Korea with Recon Position
I have a question after seen Christmas tree trouble, What if you guys gonna do when the hinge or door got a problem?
Honestly amazing, so proud, Semper Fi o7
This might be the coolest job of any in the Armed Services. These guys are inside the Whitehouse every day. They hear and see everything. I would keep this job till I was too old enough.
We also get to hear Trump going on a rampage... just about daily.
How about finding something more intellectually challenging to do?
Junkman2000 😂
@@Junkman2008 Say that now.
@@oliverb.8995
We don't have to hear Trump's idiotic rants every day anymore, THANK GOD.
Decorations is all they are. I was an embassy guard and that was pretty much all we were then too. At least we were armed.
accurate alloys you were at the wrong embassy. I'm retired State Dept Foreign Service and worked at U.S. Embassies overseas for 22 years. It got very interesting at times.
yeah also an Embassy is kinda different than the White House itself the White House has armed Secret Service on site where as but embassies don't so you can't really compare the two
You must have worked for some Switzerland embassy that doesnt do anything! US embassies get mighty interesting
REAL marines work in the field... not volunteer to be the bitch boy of the wealthy
@Benjamin Carlson Yeah right, these elite four earned their title.
the swag in that exchange at the end is incredible.
I am a Kiwi Marine Corp. But that was a bloody nice handover
i am a usmc veteran but was just wondering why they put their arms in front of them kinda like a parade rest but in front?
Erryn clark Easier to spring into action?
Maybe so they can speak. If I remember, we weren't allowed to speak at parade rest.
man those shoes shine like GLASS !
the amount of security this guy gets has always fascinated me
That final change was lit
Thank you Marines for your service.
Thank you for opening the door??? 😂
Thank you for your dedicated service to our great, indivisible country!
Indivisible??? 🤣 Right now, we're VERY divided!! Thank the DemocRATS!! 😡
Outstanding. This is why USMC is the best of the best.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
God bless your hearts.
Só..... essentially you’re just on duty every single day.
Infrared beams , motion senors and surveillance camera's. Plus there are under cover agent's posted out side .
🤘From retired Old Guard, Joint Services NCO! Keep is sharp!
My cousin SSGT Timothy Kennedy was a White House sentinel in the 90’s and graduated best of 5,000 recruits at Parris Island. Cancer unfortunately has its reigns upon him but he’s fighting
I guarantee if you put Marine Corps on your resume, or more specifically “White House Sentry”, then you’ll definitely get that cashier job at kohl’s.
Kiss my arse.
0:29 from left to right (your left to your right) his medals are
usaf achievement medal
usmc good conduct medal
Air Reserve Forces Meritorious Service Medal
national defense medal
global war on terror expeditionary medal
global war on terror service medal
Weeellll he's not going to earn any silver stars state side, those are only earned across the pond ;)
Thank you, the USAF achievement medal was really bugging me. Nice to see someone decided to leave the chair force and join the real military.
@@robbie6625 You can be awarded another service's achievement medal. I worked alongside an Air Force ADACG and was awarded the Air Force Achievement medal while in the Army
gotta love the video audio just cuts off randomly
It is the uniform, the sharpest in the world. Semper Fi!
Give them a Saber, would look amazing.
isn't only marine officers of certain ranks and up get the saber?
@Koria Borein U R Correct
My little brothers are looking right spiffy. :)
I remember my first tour of barracks duty. We were given dress blues to wear and I thought that I was going to be looking sharp at the front gate of the base. Instead, I got assigned to the nuke platoon. No need for dress blues, we wore camo's. But I carried a M-203 grenade launcher and enough M-203 and M16 ammo to take the Kremlin! Kill'em all and let God sort them out!
Ooo-Rah!
I dont respect anyone that takes the life of someone else. Other then that, i have great respect for military personell
@@TheGlobalNetworkOfficial
So if someone broke into your house and threatened to kill your wife and kids, you would stand there like a pussy and not protect your family with deadly force if that was necessary??? Taking the life of a innocent person is one thing. Defending YOUR life and the lives of those in your immediate vicinity from DEATH or SERIOUS BODILY HARM is called JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE. You won't even get arrested for doing so. Add to that, when you swear an oath to the constitution of your country and have to take the life of a enemy combatant in a justified conflict, that is recognized as COMBAT. Also justified under the Geneva Convention.
It's a good thing that there are those of us out here WILLING to defend the shores of this country and the cities we live in so that people like YOU can have a place to hide with the women and children. 🙄
Thank You 😊
America’s Veterans
Hope I get the chance to meet these guys one day.
Like a royal guard
White House - 4 Guys.
Buckingham Palace - A few Battalions including a few Cavalry.
4 guys. But in the background, an entire detachment of secret service and FBI ready to gun down any intruder or attacker. It's not "Just" 4 guys.
Respect from Bulgaria!
militares orgullosos de su tarea encomendada , soy venezolano y felicito de corazon a esas personas que con orgullo defienden un puesto , desde una trinchera hasta un pasillo , adelante y un abrazo..
3:55 you know I had to do it to em
jesus christ lmao
Choregraphy here @3:36 onwards. Dudes Breakdancin'.
Edit: Micheal Jackson moves.
Is the USMC the only military branch that post sentries at the White House? Also, the uniform shown in this video is worn in summer months only, or during spring and autumn as well? There’s a scene where a Marine is seen with heavy winter coat, so that must be for the winter months.
Thank you for your service
So classy love Marines ♥️💋
All branches of the military have specialized units that represent the honor, dignity and loyalty to the United States, regardless of politics. The Marines at the White House, the Army at Arlington to name a couple. To those pos's that make fun of or criticize what duties these individuals perform have no clue what honor, character or dedication are and it's a waste of time trying to explain it to these scum.
Great post
first of all i am not scrum so if i am you are a ass wipe
Great stuff. Thank you, Marines.
That last clip was so clean
I always wondered how they knew when someone was coming out the door haha
You can say all you want, those marines would fuck someone up if you tried walking through that door... Shit, Id take a doorman like that lol
Fuck someone up? An MMA fighter could kick their ass. There is nothing special about Marines.
Marines serve your country and if you do not think that is special than there is another country you can move to if you would feel more proud over there.
BelligerentTruth If marines can't take you alive they will kill you
TheOnlyReverse I always felt that it was simpler to just kill the fucker! less hassle & paperwork.
BelligerentTruth if that's what you think,. Then you should take your smart ass over to some of the vid's on U tube that follow a couple of your. " Tuff guys" thru some Marine basic training. Close your pie hole and open your 👂 to what the M. M. A. Fighters had to say !!!.
How awesome is this......very
What are the top to ribbons on the rack? Especially the one with V device?
0:21 you know I had to do it to em
2019! You "MUST"
Be armed! Ready to act!
DUMBASS
A lot of doors will open up for him in is life.
Those shoes I can't even shine them to look that good. Damn
Wish I had marines guarding my house.
Start campaigning.
Dress blues ceremonial uniform.
my work will be is opening and closing door the all day, crazy !!
Interesting that guard at 0:30 has the Air Force Achievement Medal, must be prior service.
Applewhite looks like Tyler1 lol
Using a Marine as a doorman seems like such a waste. Hire an actual doorman. Let the Marine be a Marine.
They are trained to have discipline. That's why its so special.
Can you imagine having a really bad itch and not being able to scratch it
Interesting the Sergeant has a couple Air Force decorations
FOUR KILLING MACHINES .
All I can say is ohhhh rahh - Semper Fi Marines, Great Job !!! - All I have to say is where are their sidearms... Must be the gun control.....
@Daniel Sadjadi quite obviously...
Alex Scofield not necessarily
@@alexscofield4939 Only four marines in the entire military can be a White House Sentry. I'm pretty sure that's not the case.
Secret service has the guns. As a Marine the guard would not have right to use one to enforce law.
question....if the president god forbid faints by you are you allowed to help him up? or you just stand there? like when do you break protocols?
Thank you for your service gentlemen.
Well not too recently their duties had changed to honorary umbrella holder.
They have to do that if it calls for it but they are not always as you idiot call a "honorary umbrella holder"
No, actually that is part of the white house staff's job. Obama has to be the only person that would demand a Marine hold some damn umbrella.
M Muss wtf. How is that inappropriate 🤣
...which they did with honor and without complaint.
sux man, i woudlnt wanna be openning doors for people........
I am very proud of these young men!
Outstanding video
Marines like doormen? Hmmmm
MyLovedWildAnimals They do see active duty you fool. It's just a secondment
So you're a well dressed statue that occasionally performs the duties of a door man?
...Cool.
I couldn't have summed it up better myself
That's what i say. One must enjoy being a peon to want to do that job
Great video
These guys are sharp.
