For all those who been through USMC boot camp, looking back, Drill Instructors are actually comedians... very intense, violent, and loud but comedians nonetheless 🤣
Yep comedians! I loved it when they dumped or kicked over the mop buckets full of water and had us get on line with our wooden scuzz brushes and do "Speed Racers" up and down the squad bay while Senior aka Daddy was not there :)
I’m Scottish. I used to work for a car rental company near Edinburgh Airport. I remember I served this American gent and his wife, I forget which state he hailed from. He mentioned he’d served in the marines. They’d hired a car to do the North Coast 500. Guy was so respectful and well spoken, addressing me as “Sir” and giving me a firm handshake before he left. He also had a great sense of humour. One of the coolest dudes I ever met. This scene always reminds me of him 😂 Hope he’s doing well wherever he is.

@@HotRodsnHueys drill instructor. More of a schedule and not as pressured. Still had it but recruiting is more like a business that the command will slap you around if you don’t make mission.
Its funny as shit but don't even DARE let a DI see you laughing. They purposely do funny shit just to fuck with recruits. I loved being on the other side of that though. I was never a DI but had a couple of friends who were and i got to watch them for a day from the sidelines. Had a PVT come up to me and salute me because he thought i was an officer in civilian clothes spectating. Boy oh boy that PVT got destroyed. I just laughed at him when he saluted me
@@TnerB91 oh yeah, we got bored sometimes. Troops loved it though. We had a female drill and I asked a private if they found her attractive, he didn’t know to say yes or no. We all laughed and he did push ups.
I remember seeing Jarhead in the theaters, and being teenagers we loved the entire movie. But the minute the boot camp scenes started, we started dying and the man and his wife in front of us was a USMC Sgt. on leave. He turned around and looked at us during the “Jodie scene” and just smiled. We ended up shaking hands and talking to him for almost an hour and he was hilarious and definitely a man of honor. Why Jarhead is a movie close to the heart.
Never understood why they go with that line. What kind of morale is that? Is the military attractive to cuckolds? Is that it? The US has an armies & corps of emasculated cucks? I would want my recruits thinking of themselves as killers-in-training, not impotent rejects. Maybe the DIs are just speaking from experience, though

I served in the Marines from 2002 - 2006. Aside from the physical abuse, this is pretty accurate. DIs are not allowed to physically abuse recruits as pictured in this movie. I never saw any physical abuse like this while in basic training. Will they smoke you on the quarterdeck until you puke or pass out? Hell yeah they will!! However, in terms of a DI physically putting their hands on another recruit to abuse them, it's highly unlikely as that DI would have hell to pay when reporting to their Commanding Officer!!
I recently graduated in 2021. My DIs never hit or choked us but they did use aggression to correct us. Oh and the low crawl. Remember one dude started crying and one DI kicked him in the head while he was wearing Kevlar. In another company heard one kid got punched in the stomach and left a giant ass bruise. None of the other recruits reported it cause they all hated him anyways
Huh, I guess things are very different in the US. Where I come from abuse is "officially" not allowed but everybody knows it and just rolls with it. None of this flaming branding shit though. If someone is too much of a prick you just wait until the night. Throw a blanket over his head beat the shit out of him along with your buddies. Should he ever file a complaint there is nobody specific he can blame.
I joined a few years before you did. There was certainly physical abuse in bootcamp similar to this film. I went to San Diego. However, for a better representation of Marine Corp bootcamp I recommend Full Metal Jacket. We also had blanket parties for the perpetual fuckups. But that was a long time ago. My guess is that the military in general is a lot softer these days.
I once got asked my by ex Drill if I was a virgin I said I'm abstinent Drill Sergeant he told me damn you that afraid of pussies? I laughed and got fucked up for it. Worth the roast. Edit: I'm not a virgin anymore as of 2020. Decided to find the right girl and I did now we are getting married next year. Definitely worth the wait and the smoke sessions.
@ابوفادى المستعرب حبيب الملايين The soldiers might get the gear without them paying, but manufacturing of that gear, shipping, handling, and storing all costs money. Nothing is free, except oxygen... but I'm even starting to doubt that, now.
My father was an extra in this movie. He was a Marine Corps and later Army Staff Sergeant seen in the center at 3:08 . He said Jamie Foxx was cool. Most of the guys in the background were real soldiers getting back from Iraq in 2004, he was one of them.
@@Guest_N8 he was part of the army national guard. They were initially mobilized in 2001 after 9/11. After that time he was sent out to Iraq in 2003. There’s a little gap in what was told to me but he returned in 2004 and then j was born in 2005. He passed away in 2019 after getting cancer. He was part of the whole camp lejuene water contamination and he and a lot of others got cancer from it. I still have letters and some of his stuff from back then. Basically he was part of the initial invasion. He said the officers were assholes.
I really don't understand why this film isn't more appreciated. For the most part it's fantastic and gives us some insight into a war that's fading from public memory and those who fought it.
@@yogiyahya35 GUESS AGAIN MOTHER****** JODYS BANGING HER RIGHT NOW GET ON YOUR FACE AND GIVE ME 25 FOR EVERY TIME SHE GETS ****** THIS MONTH DOWN ON YOUR FACE!!!
I can't tell you how often many of us recruits had to bite our lips to avoid laughing at some of the shit our DI's would say/yell. I never became a DI, so I don't know if they have mandatory comedy classes or not as part of DI school, but I wouldn't doubt it. They were some of the funniest bastards with the quickest wit I ever witnessed.
I’d also believe that they take advantage of the psychological phenomenon where if you’re in a situation where you’re not supposed to laugh, everything around you becomes a million times funnier.
I think you don't make it to E6 in the military without developing a well rounded sense of humor. You either stay an E4 and try to sham it through or you kinda lose a screw here and there.
I got promoted to E-4 as quickly as possible *_because_* I joined the Army *_already with_* that sense of humor and wit. I also *_stayed_* E4 largely because I never lost it.
I think the films have such a similar vibe and the portrayal of the hazing and drill Sgt. in both films are nearly identical. Can't beat the OG drill Sgt in FMJ though, however the hazing here is better in terms of shock factor.
my uncle told me a tale about when he was in marine basic training in the 60's, where a 'hands on' drill got too physical with a private. that private beat the absolute shit out of the sergeant until he was held back by 4 other privates who saw it happening.. since then, they mandated a second instructor always be present when smoking a recruit.
@@lestermount3287 lol I remember back in Jackson some recruit threw a elbow to a sergeant landed it and next thing you know 8 drills come outta no where and pretty much proceed to beat the shot out of him for a minute before the MPs came💀
I call B.S. first off most DI's are combat veterans. Also privates don't know sh*t they are privates while the DI's have been there done that in training. I know fragging (chunking a live grenade ar your CO if he does something immoral or evil to endanger the life of you or other soldiers in your platoon) does happen but that's in time of war and happens very rarely. As someone who's in. I don't really believe that one honestly
My guess is that he was told to laugh. Especially since they do like 20 takes and use the best one. Guy was probably told to laugh to make it more realistic since drill instructors really do talk like that and if you aren't the one targeted it can be pretty damn funny.
3:07 Despite me being just a conscript, this hits me right in the feels and brings me back to the first week of being at the brigade. From having to carry literally everything you will be using to the veterans (as in people who had been there longer) looking down on you everywhere you go. Man this movie is good.
@@shoazdon7000 no, they have cracked down on hazing like that...One of my buddies was a grunt in the Marine Corps he used to send me videos of them hazing the new guys... those boys are hardcore. I saw some wild stuff

@@shoazdon7000 people started getting hurt and yes as far as the Army goes, the media caught on when someone died from a hazing session (15-20 years ago) and that’s basically when most of the physical stuff stopped

The only accounts I know of gay sex, consensual or not we're all Marine. I knew a few gay dudes in the Navy, but never heard of anything happening in the barracks or berthing. Can't say the same for my Marine counter parts.

@@novandita9071 because I was homeless, they promised me three hots and a cot and a paycheck, and... The day I walked in with my high school diploma for the NAVY recruiter (I told him I was gonna be there at such-and-such time), he bailed on me to watch a football game. I sat outside the door of the recruitment office because I'm stubborn and didn't have anything better to do, and one of the Marine Corps recruiters walked outside (same building, different offices, kinda like a strip mall). I signed with him an hour later as a "fuck you" to the navy recruiter. Joke was on me though.

I went to USCG boot camp in 1972....supposedly the second toughest boot camp after the Corp. The CC's were recently prohibited from striking a recruit, but I saw many grabbed by the collar and jacked up against a bulkhead. Swim survival training and relentless PT were the toughest part. Had to think clearly under simulated high pressure situations and had to be very proficient with a .45 as well.
If you think Hartman was good in FMJ you should see his performance in the Boys of Company C which was his first performance and by far more accurate for Vietnam era.
I come back to this scene from time to time... I freaking loved this movie. I remember so many people trashing it because it had no action. LIKE YOU MISSED THE POINT! These guys train like hell and to go on tour and sometimes that was just it...sitting around 365 days in the blistering desert ready to use your training...and it never came for some. Just went around patrolling and not being in endless combat. And they would return with the same PTSD that others vets who were in the trenches did. This movie captured that war is different for everyone...and at the same time... its the same for everyone.
It kinda fucked me up, being trained and ready to fight and wanting nothing more than to be put to that test that I've trained years for only for it to never come. Now I have years of training for something that I never did, and will never do that I have to unlearn
It really captures how the worst part of combat is the waiting. You're constantly on edge, listening and looking for anything dangerous. There were similar sentiments from guys that were in Easy Company on the days before jumping into Normandy on D-Day. Once the shots started firing, a lot of your training and instincts kick in. But the waiting and anxiety that comes from it fucks a lot of people up.
@@nekrataali I can imagine (but not at the same time because I wasn’t in the military) it being brutal the waiting. The anxiety of something that might never come. I have a huge respect for anyone who was or is in the military. The terminal list had a great quote about how they are the ones who look evil in the eye because most people don’t have the balls too. Just really put it into perspective how that’s the job.
@@seanslaysean7097 I actually read recently ptsd was a lot less back when people going home would have to take long train rides and ships across the ocean. And that flying from a warzone for 10 14 etc hours and being home so quick doesn’t give the brain time to process and come down. Interesting theory but idk how true
My son's mother's father was a drill instructor for 22 years. You can imagine his reaction when he found out his 18 year old daughter was pregnant. He clotheslined me onto the living room floor, helped me back to my feet, and told me to take care of his daughter and grandchild. He gave me a hug after that. My son just graduated from high school with a 4.3 GPA, an 80% scholarship to USF, and is my best friend. Her dad was there when mine wasn't. Tough as nails and was always there for me🤘greatest man I've ever met ❤
The book ‘Jarhead’ is really good. It goes into more depth about his family/upbringing and what happened to those he served with after the war. Two parts that were shoehorned into the movie with very little effort imo. If I remember correctly he is very anti military now after growing up around it, loving it and being determined to join. Even trying to get his parents to sign off in him joining early (which they wouldn’t). It’s a good movie but it’s a much better book.
Most books are better than the movies. I say most because I read Dogs Of War and then saw the movie. The movie was better. The chapter was good and halfway through the second the book took a nose dive until the last chapter. Every thing else in between was boring.
That response (and the confrontational gaze he gives) is only there for the sake of the film as to convey & impress mindsets to the viewers. Not saying such behavior never occurred in reality, only that it was super rare because the penalty would be immediate and furious ..that the D.I. would beat your as into the dirt was just for starters; you'd then likely end up in Moto and the C.C.P. if you continued to buck. I'm talking about once you've been placed in your platoon and training has begun. Usually there's about 3-5 days of "receiving" upon arrival where things aren't expected of you ..as much. During that brief time the repercussions are less severe simply because you aren't being handled by YOUR drill instructors. But even then you're on your best behavior and trying to stay off the radar. It's all planned and a psychological strategy to have you walking on egg shells BEFORE the storm even arrives! That said, despite the flaws, this video had me pumped and laughing harder than I have in months! Semper Fi!
@@SDeanP You’re bullshitting. I’ve seen and heard of people screaming and arguing with their DIs or DSs when abused or pushed over the edge and no such retaliatory violence ever occurred on them. Knowledge is the greatest weapon a recruit has, and the DIs greatest weapon is ignorance of what they can and cannot do. They’re not invincible, and they too can be subject to dishonorable discharges and court marshalls.
I remember I was in 4th grade when this movie came out. I was so excited to see it because I had just recently seen SPR and had been obsessed with war history. When I eventually saw it I was disappointed because it didn't have any action and didn't understand it. Now in my 20s I finally understand this was about politics, psychological warfare and the weaponizing + dehumanizing of young American minds going into the middle eastern conflicts. Hits completely different now and great performance by the actors.
At 0:53 swaford says “I’m not gay sir “ when he was supposed to say “this recruit is not gay sir” that’s why he’s pushing later on the drill instructor just wanted to make it funny
I watched this movie when I was a kid and thought it was quite boring because there wasn’t a lot of action. Came back to it when I was older and wiser and appreciated it a lot more.
It's a war movie about a war that was so one-sided that it lasted only a few weeks and in which the biggest danger to the U.S. soldiers and marines was friendly-fire from other U.S. forces. Unlike the second US-Iraq war that lasted for almost nine years.
In the situation where about 10 guys are holding you down trying to brand you I strongly suggest fighting till you pass out, anything less is a surrender, and just remember, you’ll wake up at some point and shitting in your new “buddy’s” bunks, is never a bad revenge strategy
You need to get lethal in this kind of confrontation, targeting their crotch, eyes, necks, bite if you have to just to send the message you're taking one or two down with you if they mess with you. It's just fun and games for them till someone loses their eye or ears.
@@ghostpants8172 Bingo, and even a few hours later after it’s over and their all sleeping peacefully, you wake up, find the top dog, tap him lightly on the shoulder to just barely wake him up, so he recognizes you, then carefully apply one broken nose to the fuckers face and put him right back to sleep, and when he wakes his broken nose will remind him of the power transfer that just occurred

“It was shortly after meeting Drill Instructor Fitch that i realized that joining the Marine Corps might have been a dad decision.” Something similar to this was said by every military recruit ever on their first day of basic…
hasbeendrummer - Thats an oxymoron. A LOT of people that "stay in school" end up completely unable to do critical thinking and to be individuals. Not to mention the astronomical misbelief that military personnel are dumb. Sure, you can be the "yes sir, no sir, cant take a crap without getting an order to do so sir" kind of soldier/marine, but then youre not gonna make it very far in your career. Most try to learn as much as they can, and get on the path to be an operator. Now Im not saying every single one of them will, but lot of them WILL end up becoming operators. Learn what that means. It takes more learning, skills, intelligence and strength to become an operator than most college students would ever be capable of. Its a doctorate in combat and fighting wars.
This movie came out right before I went to boot camp. The recruiters hated it. They said it wasn't accurate. I thought it was the most accurate marine corps depiction I've ever seen

I remember seeing Jarhead in the theaters, and being teenagers we loved the entire movie. But the minute the boot camp scenes started, we started dying and the man and his wife in front of us was a USMC Sgt. on leave. He turned around and looked at us during the “Jodie scene” and just smiled. We ended up shaking hands and talking to him for almost an hour and he was hilarious and definitely a man of honor. Why Jarhead is a movie close to the heart.
Beautiful story. I wish I was old enough to see this in theaters

@@UnnamedHero0922 Not if you're in America some kid would just just become the regular physco and light the whole school up
In the alternate universe
I served in the Marines from 2002 - 2006. Aside from the physical abuse, this is pretty accurate. DIs are not allowed to physically abuse recruits as pictured in this movie. I never saw any physical abuse like this while in basic training. Will they smoke you on the quarterdeck until you puke or pass out? Hell yeah they will!! However, in terms of a DI physically putting their hands on another recruit to abuse them, it's highly unlikely as that DI would have hell to pay when reporting to their Commanding Officer!!
I recently graduated in 2021. My DIs never hit or choked us but they did use aggression to correct us. Oh and the low crawl. Remember one dude started crying and one DI kicked him in the head while he was wearing Kevlar. In another company heard one kid got punched in the stomach and left a giant ass bruise. None of the other recruits reported it cause they all hated him anyways
This looks like an russian army. Torture your future partner in war. Seems like a fucked up idea to me lol
Huh, I guess things are very different in the US. Where I come from abuse is "officially" not allowed but everybody knows it and just rolls with it. None of this flaming branding shit though. If someone is too much of a prick you just wait until the night. Throw a blanket over his head beat the shit out of him along with your buddies. Should he ever file a complaint there is nobody specific he can blame.
I joined a few years before you did. There was certainly physical abuse in bootcamp similar to this film. I went to San Diego. However, for a better representation of Marine Corp bootcamp I recommend Full Metal Jacket. We also had blanket parties for the perpetual fuckups. But that was a long time ago. My guess is that the military in general is a lot softer these days.

I can't tell you how often many of us recruits had to bite our lips to avoid laughing at some of the shit our DI's would say/yell. I never became a DI, so I don't know if they have mandatory comedy classes or not as part of DI school, but I wouldn't doubt it. They were some of the funniest bastards with the quickest wit I ever witnessed.
One DI called a dark green recruit Mick fucking Jagger because of his lips resembled the singer of The Rolling Stones 😊
I’d also believe that they take advantage of the psychological phenomenon where if you’re in a situation where you’re not supposed to laugh, everything around you becomes a million times funnier.
I think you don't make it to E6 in the military without developing a well rounded sense of humor. You either stay an E4 and try to sham it through or you kinda lose a screw here and there.

Gun Sergeant Hartman set the bar too high in his performance in FMJ No one else afterwards even come close to how good he was !!
Spot on, just reading this comment I hear his voice.
Because he wasnt acting. R. Lee Ermey actually was a drill instructor. Go look it up.
I went to USCG boot camp in 1972....supposedly the second toughest boot camp after the Corp. The CC's were recently prohibited from striking a recruit, but I saw many grabbed by the collar and jacked up against a bulkhead. Swim survival training and relentless PT were the toughest part. Had to think clearly under simulated high pressure situations and had to be very proficient with a .45 as well.
If you think Hartman was good in FMJ you should see his performance in the Boys of Company C which was his first performance and by far more accurate for Vietnam era.
Because he was a real D.I. during the Vietnam era.
I come back to this scene from time to time... I freaking loved this movie. I remember so many people trashing it because it had no action. LIKE YOU MISSED THE POINT! These guys train like hell and to go on tour and sometimes that was just it...sitting around 365 days in the blistering desert ready to use your training...and it never came for some. Just went around patrolling and not being in endless combat. And they would return with the same PTSD that others vets who were in the trenches did. This movie captured that war is different for everyone...and at the same time... its the same for everyone.
It kinda fucked me up, being trained and ready to fight and wanting nothing more than to be put to that test that I've trained years for only for it to never come. Now I have years of training for something that I never did, and will never do that I have to unlearn
It really captures how the worst part of combat is the waiting. You're constantly on edge, listening and looking for anything dangerous. There were similar sentiments from guys that were in Easy Company on the days before jumping into Normandy on D-Day. Once the shots started firing, a lot of your training and instincts kick in. But the waiting and anxiety that comes from it fucks a lot of people up.
@@nekrataali I can imagine (but not at the same time because I wasn’t in the military) it being brutal the waiting. The anxiety of something that might never come.

I heard someone say this in our company during receiving.
That response (and the confrontational gaze he gives) is only there for the sake of the film as to convey & impress mindsets to the viewers. Not saying such behavior never occurred in reality, only that it was super rare because the penalty would be immediate and furious ..that the D.I. would beat your as into the dirt was just for starters; you'd then likely end up in Moto and the C.C.P. if you continued to buck.
I'm talking about once you've been placed in your platoon and training has begun. Usually there's about 3-5 days of "receiving" upon arrival where things aren't expected of you ..as much. During that brief time the repercussions are less severe simply because you aren't being handled by YOUR drill instructors. But even then you're on your best behavior and trying to stay off the radar. It's all planned and a psychological strategy to have you walking on egg shells BEFORE the storm even arrives!

alot. especially in 90s. kids just wanted free college. honestly what new privates told me
Haha I saw this movie in Taiwan, in the theaters. The local audiences were like "what in the actual fuck?"😂😂
The guy who just got branded being so into it is a perfect example of how fast the cycle of violence can move.
Damn you're right, that's deep. Especially in a crowd/mob
Ah Jarhead one of the greatest military movies ever yet nothing can outrank Full Metal Jacket
Saving Private Ryan was better. Nothing beats the Omaha beach scene.
Full Metal Jacket is trash ngl
SPR was absolutely stunning
@@roundfaceal9164 no it's not
@@dwightschrute4560 All those guys getting brained and gutted.
War SUCKS!
Scott MacDonald as the Drill Instructor was excellent. He's one of those actors that flies under the Radar, but he's great in everything he does.
Oh yes, he is. There could've been some other actors for that D.I. Even though Jack Warden and Christopher Lee were WWII vets, they'd be interesting.
I remember I was in 4th grade when this movie came out. I was so excited to see it because I had just recently seen SPR and had been obsessed with war history. When I eventually saw it I was disappointed because it didn't have any action and didn't understand it. Now in my 20s I finally understand this was about politics, psychological warfare and the weaponizing + dehumanizing of young American minds going into the middle eastern conflicts. Hits completely different now and great performance by the actors.
you're lying
At 0:53 swaford says “I’m not gay sir “ when he was supposed to say “this recruit is not gay sir” that’s why he’s pushing later on the drill instructor just wanted to make it funny
“Sir! I got lost on the way to college, sir!”
The most cathartic, most visceral line/scene in the movie.

I watched this movie when I was a kid and thought it was quite boring because there wasn’t a lot of action. Came back to it when I was older and wiser and appreciated it a lot more.
It's a war movie about a war that was so one-sided that it lasted only a few weeks and in which the biggest danger to the U.S. soldiers and marines was friendly-fire from other U.S. forces. Unlike the second US-Iraq war that lasted for almost nine years.
I swear "GET SOME" is like the most Marine phrase there is.
In the situation where about 10 guys are holding you down trying to brand you I strongly suggest fighting till you pass out, anything less is a surrender, and just remember, you’ll wake up at some point and shitting in your new “buddy’s” bunks, is never a bad revenge strategy
You need to get lethal in this kind of confrontation, targeting their crotch, eyes, necks, bite if you have to just to send the message you're taking one or two down with you if they mess with you. It's just fun and games for them till someone loses their eye or ears.
@@ghostpants8172 Bingo, and even a few hours later after it’s over and their all sleeping peacefully, you wake up, find the top dog, tap him lightly on the shoulder to just barely wake him up, so he recognizes you, then carefully apply one broken nose to the fuckers face and put him right back to sleep, and when he wakes his broken nose will remind him of the power transfer that just occurred

It’s funny how every one of these "welcoming scenes" is compelled to compete against Full Metal Jacket. And lose.
Exactly, a combination of Kubrick's direction and the fact that R. Lee Ermy was a real Drill Sergeant easily make that the best one.
@@basedbattledroid3507 Drill instructor*
When arriving to the barracks is pretty accurate. Always Marines on the catwalks talking shit to the boots coming in. Hahaha
A good third of Full Metal Jacket is in drill camp man.
This is a 4 min scene.
Hacksaw Ridge's was 'acceptable'
2:06 Yep, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I ended up in this situation…
accurate description of that scene lmao
“It was shortly after meeting Drill Instructor Fitch that i realized that joining the Marine Corps might have been a dad decision.”
Something similar to this was said by every military recruit ever on their first day of basic…
Drill Sergeant Ford made it all worth it
@@alexanders2669 sargeant?

USCG basic we had 6 people quit the first week. 3 more got reverted.
Sgt. Abhud will never be forgotten. "Some of you will..."

That’s what got me in trouble the most in basic training. Those drill instructors/drill sergeants are hilarious.
This is nothing compared to my first week away from home in Kindergarten. 50 years later and I am still suffering PTS from the trauma and and drama.
So you had Sister Margaret Mary too
The branding scene freaked me out as a 12 year old watching the movie and it hasn’t gotten better with time
Same. I think that's disgusting how these marines treated their fellow new brother like that.

My dad was in the marine corps and when he got out he said this was one of the best movies out there
Stay in school, kids.
Or you could do this
If you can’t afford school, join the army you get to kill bad people :sunglasses:
@@hitoshihiwasaka458 This isn't discord sir
@@hitoshihiwasaka458 This is Marines but yeah sure
hasbeendrummer - Thats an oxymoron. A LOT of people that "stay in school" end up completely unable to do critical thinking and to be individuals. Not to mention the astronomical misbelief that military personnel are dumb. Sure, you can be the "yes sir, no sir, cant take a crap without getting an order to do so sir" kind of soldier/marine, but then youre not gonna make it very far in your career. Most try to learn as much as they can, and get on the path to be an operator. Now Im not saying every single one of them will, but lot of them WILL end up becoming operators.
Learn what that means. It takes more learning, skills, intelligence and strength to become an operator than most college students would ever be capable of. Its a doctorate in combat and fighting wars.
Swafford has a light in him. He could definitely elevate golf company.
Seeing the marine that just got the jailhouse tattoo helping and yelling like the rest was a great touch.
“Sir, I got lost on the way to college, sir.” 😂😂😂
I was in tears🤣
Head slam
If I were force to join the military I'm definitely ending my relationship lol.
One of my uncles number came up to be drafted for Vietnam and he didn't want to go into the Army or Marines so he joined the Air Force.
