@MsJmstrong Which guy are you refering to? The guy that talked about seeing them when he was eight was a Captain. Easily recognizable as an officer by his cover and Sand brown and belt.
These Marines are awesome. But (I hate to be so exacting) the 'ripple,' or slight loss of uniform timing, can be heard at 3:00. Still, they're as close to perfect as it gets. Semper Fidelis.
After watching the us marines silent drill squad, it really inspired me, i realised i was wasting my time at high school and college, so straight away i signed up to the dole, and have done fuck all ever since, life is great thank you, i spend my munney on scratchers and segs.
i have a question? say ur a only child and u sign up as a marine at age 18 lets say. but its without ur parent knowing since ur the only child can the parent denie the regestration?
@Freepepsi42 yeah thats wut i thought too....they were enlisted and the video said that the enlisted was a captain.....that was an error on their part
American military drills are among the most boring you'll ever see. They say it's the tighest military drill unit in existance because they know most Americans will never see any other. And most americans are too ignorant to know the difference anyway. Anyone can search on here for the Moscow Military Tattoo where dozens of Nations joined in. You'll see infinitely better drill teams. That are far more interesting to watch. The Scots stole the show though.
It's hard to do what these men and woman who praform this art . I Honer those men and women who work so so hard in praforming this Art , And a message for those
that talk down about this art you'll never know the feeling or the honer they laeve with
of the joy or the fulfillment of being Marine Silent Drill Team member
i have spun with the m1903 and the m1 garand the garand feels stiff while the springfield feels more controlled.I respect the marine silent drill platoon but i haz one question: are there spins supposed to look slanted cuzz when my drill team back at school spins we spin it in front of our face not slanted which got me to notice how the marine silent platoon spins
I bike passed the War Memorial (i.e., the Iwo Jima Monument) all the time going to and from work in DC and sometimes see the Marine Silent Drill Platoon practicing in the early morning. When there is a ground fog there is a spectral feeling as all you see are shadows of Marines, momentary flashings of early morning sunlight glinting off of spinning bayonets. Every time I witness the spectacle I find it exceedingly moving and remember.
and my young marine unit will get to see this drill team at a golf tournament hosted by the marine corps league also we will get to meet gunny OORAH!!!
The National Defense Medal is not reserved for those who serve in a time of war. It is awarded in all branches of the service and is given upon completion of basic training. Watch the USMC basic training videos here and you will see that each young man and woman receives the medal. Its the only medal that every service member will earn.
@FrozenEMT The National Defense medal is awarded to thoses who served honorably during a designated time period of which a "national emergency" had been declared.
June 27, 1950 to July 27, 1954 for service during the Korean War
January 1, 1961 to August 14, 1974 for service during the Vietnam War
August 2, 1990 to November 30, 1995 for service during the Gulf War
September 11, 2001 to a date to be announced for service during the War on Terrorism
2:47 hahaha a SSGT with 4 medals. I'm going to claim my right as a fellow Marine and as a grunt and say POG!!!!! I say that with brotherly love... The rest of you can shove off.
@NAVYSEALSTYLE Nice, I scraped my arm pretty bad, twice. We use plastic rifles here, we broke too many wooden ones lol. We now have one set for practice and exhibition and one for Competitions.
It states on wikipedia that it is only for males selected from the Infantry Schools of Camp Pendleton and Camp Lejeune. You must be between 5'11" and 6'1" to ensure uniformity.
you can't be ugly either.......no joke, not only are there height and weight requirements, if your an ugly motha fucka, like acne and shit, scares on your face.....they will not take you
The Marine Corps drill team is composed of Marines who graduated infantry school.The drill team are part of a Marine detachment:Marine Barracks 8th & I.Marines from 8th & I barracks have other duties like White House Camp David.Many of these Marines will return to the Fleet Marine Force
I'm a silent driller, those rifles will feel like paper weight after awhile of spinning. Also, your arms will be super swoll. Like for real. Your wrists will hurt, your hands will raw up, you'll hit yourself constantly, you will bleed on your rifle, you will become better with your rifle. Rifle Drill is amazing, show your dedication & don't fear the rifle, when it hits you, recover & keep spinning. OORAH!
I think all silent drill platoons are amazing. i myself am either going to be a US Marine or a USAF airmen later a tech Sargent. have not decided which i want more.
Okay, rearasstaker or what ever, i have alot of friends in the Airforce and i think that they would be ashamed of you IF you were in the airforce, or any branch for that matter. and belive it or not you do have to have some kind of intelagence to be in the military and you seem to lack in that department. and as for all you others out there the Marines have been fighting thier own battles for 235 years now and we dont need help from any kind of wanna be nazis so piss off.
rearwheeler huumm intresting name......take your little winged ass air force boys and stand infront of one of My Brothers..yuo'll look funny eating through a straw..22 years in My beloved Marine Corp....GET SOME
Are you fucking shitting me? Go to a marine and say that fucking twat. Air Force has the biggest, and only, pussies on the United States military. Fuck you.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
How the Air Force works?! Out of shape dumb fucks go into it, dress in faggot scarfs when they do drills and I should be jealous? Fuck you goddamn faggot nigger.
the rifle inspection isnt random at all haha they practice with the four individuals a lot, non of the other marines on sdp can really do all those things
Umm no. I am active duty Marine Corps. The dress blue coat for Marine Officers is solid black. For enlisted it is dark blue with red trim. And....the marine at 1:52 is wearing the enlisted blue uniform. Also, I am keenly aware of the difference between a Marine captain and a Navy captain.
The Marine was enlisted like others have stated the officer uniform is all black and there is a small noticeable difference as well that would tell if he was an officer it would show shiny bars on his shoulder... basic Marine Corps knowledge that even boots know.
Like I said. I'm active duty Marine Corps. When it comes to rank or a Marines position there is no "outside the box." It's black and white, officer and enlisted.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i used to be in the drill team I was responsible for pressing their drillers undercrackers . An awsome responsibility, What I wouldn't give to get the chance to press some boot necks skidders again! Marines ........fucking shit em!
I'm a type I diabetic, but I have had the pleasure of directing an Army Major's dissertation as an assistant professor at Vanderbilt. If all goes well, in a couple of years I'll be at West Point.
@mpmcd81 "Quite simply, it is the finest fighting force ever assembled in the history of human civilization"....Have you not herd of Army Ranger , Delta or Navy SEALs???
@WhoschannelThe comment was intended of our military in general. Two of my closest friends are Army Rangers who are both at the rank of LTC. One is my assistant department head at Vandy and the other is a former PhD student of mine who is teaching mathematics at West Point. Our special forces do amazing things. I'm proud of all our men and women in uniform from top to bottom.
@mpmcd81 Quite bold a statement..because they can spin and drill like that..you actually believe your last line to be true???..you have to be kidding..Albiet they are awesome in what they do..but to name them the finest fighting force in human history is completely ridiculous
@BX02 It's not about the spinning. What I do know is that without the US Marines, and all of our men (and at the time womens' auxiliaries) we would be speaking Japanese. And no other fighting force in the history of civilization could have won WWII in the Pacific. My assessment is based on historical fact, not on drill. Of course, appropriate credit must be given to the Red Army who bore the brunt of the European theater.
Well, just for one thing; the Jap military never planned on invading America, in fact they considered the idea (of invading the NA continent) to be ridiculous and an impossible task. And they were right, because looking back; even if they had put all their efforts to it, they never ever would have been able to land an invasion.
And the only reason they even attacked (and were able to) Pearl Harbor, was because they were allowed to. And, it was far from an unprovoked event.
damn these marines are VERY VERY GOOD!!!! IM GONNA TRY TO MAKE MY EXHIBTION UNARMED THOUGH AS GOOD AS THEM USE THE SAME TECHNIQUES,,,,, I BET THIS WAS NOT EASY AT ALL
Anyone who is really into rifle drill should check out FOR THE ART DRILL CLOTHING, the one and only designer clothing line for rifle exhibition drillers.
wow. this is great. my dads a marine from vietnam time. he was in the silent drill team for 8th and I in Quantico Bay. i wish i could have videos of him. if you know that any of these platoons are from there please tell me. He was the flag carrier and 2nd row lead left. I have pictures of him but i really want videos
Also "Thordi" there m1's with bayonets that are razor sharp. He cut some guys ear off twice. haha in the middle of a parade.
I disagree. Being a marine is being part of a team. Certainly, it is an important individual accomplishment to become a marine. But, the Marines operate as a team. They insist on teamwork and instill teamwork as part of your instinct. When a marine falls on a grenade and gives his life it is for the team.
Geez! They make it look like as if it only weighed 2 lbs!
I'm in the JROTC in my highschool and our rifles should be the same weight as the USMC rifles. As a Firstyear, I'm going to train hard to make myself look like that someday!
harrymunk2471, you should be shot dead, berried in elephant shit, and have your balls shuved down your fucking throat. considering im joining the marines and i am going to try to join this, its sad ppl like you are even around.
Next to zero friendly fire incidents???????? just type in american friendly fire incidents into google or here. See the results you stupid fuck. I work within the military so we get the reports of friendly fire. 90% of incidents are americans shooting at blues. So before you comment do your homework
Silent Drill Platoon???????? If the yanks spent more time on the rifle range shooting than doing this crap then maybe america would not cause so many friendly fire incidents in time of war
LMAO You my friend are a dumbshit. We cause next to zero friendly fire incedents. Besides our soldiers are amazing marksmen.These guys are just a drill platoon. Not meant for war just to drill
You guys could click my channel for some drill videos as well. We use music in our performances so as to compliment the drills. The performers are around 15 years old and are students. We are from Singapore! Come and take a look! Or you could type in HCINCC and search it on youtube. =) Thanks.
just watching this as I am in a Marching team an man i wish they could come over to NZ and be our personal choreographers for my marching teams display.All you American peeps,marching in New Zealand is soooo not the same as marching bands with batontwirling lol.
It's hard to tell at a distance, but when you get close to them, you can see stripes. Each additional stipe means they are a higher rank. One stripe is a PFC, One Stripe with crossed rifles is a LCpl, two stripes with cr's is a Corporal and so on..

@mpmcd81 "Quite simply, it is the finest fighting force ever assembled in the history of human civilization"....Have you not herd of Army Ranger , Delta or Navy SEALs???

@WhoschannelThe comment was intended of our military in general. Two of my closest friends are Army Rangers who are both at the rank of LTC. One is my assistant department head at Vandy and the other is a former PhD student of mine who is teaching mathematics at West Point. Our special forces do amazing things. I'm proud of all our men and women in uniform from top to bottom.

@mpmcd81 Quite bold a statement..because they can spin and drill like that..you actually believe your last line to be true???..you have to be kidding..Albiet they are awesome in what they do..but to name them the finest fighting force in human history is completely ridiculous

@BX02 It's not about the spinning. What I do know is that without the US Marines, and all of our men (and at the time womens' auxiliaries) we would be speaking Japanese. And no other fighting force in the history of civilization could have won WWII in the Pacific. My assessment is based on historical fact, not on drill. Of course, appropriate credit must be given to the Red Army who bore the brunt of the European theater.

lol... that's...
Well, just for one thing; the Jap military never planned on invading America, in fact they considered the idea (of invading the NA continent) to be ridiculous and an impossible task. And they were right, because looking back; even if they had put all their efforts to it, they never ever would have been able to land an invasion.
And the only reason they even attacked (and were able to) Pearl Harbor, was because they were allowed to. And, it was far from an unprovoked event.

It's not about being "part" of something...it's about "being" a US Marine
akomc 2 years ago 2
I disagree. Being a marine is being part of a team. Certainly, it is an important individual accomplishment to become a marine. But, the Marines operate as a team. They insist on teamwork and instill teamwork as part of your instinct. When a marine falls on a grenade and gives his life it is for the team.

Geez! They make it look like as if it only weighed 2 lbs!
I'm in the JROTC in my highschool and our rifles should be the same weight as the USMC rifles. As a Firstyear, I'm going to train hard to make myself look like that someday!
USMC Silent Drill is sooo Inspiring. Period.

Springfields, I believe.
I'm pretty sure, though. Is there a major weight difference between the two?

I work within the military so we get the reports of friendly fire. 90% of incidents are americans shooting at blues. So before you comment do your homework

You guys could click my channel for some drill videos as well. We use music in our performances so as to compliment the drills. The performers are around 15 years old and are students. We are from Singapore! Come and take a look! Or you could type in HCINCC and search it on youtube. =) Thanks.

It's hard to tell at a distance, but when you get close to them, you can see stripes. Each additional stipe means they are a higher rank. One stripe is a PFC, One Stripe with crossed rifles is a LCpl, two stripes with cr's is a Corporal and so on..
