earning what men have died for ,absoluty his new family everyone of them would die for him . college doesnt give you right to enterfier. it only gives you a pss
its funny how in the beginning it says "Note Gold Wing ceremony officially no longer exist in the Marine Corps"..its a tradition that will never end they say its over to make everyone think it is
This is something traditional and it does build a close comradory. A lot of people think US Marines go home and play the violin or hang out in the library in their spare time. Give me a break, their fucking Marines.
got my gold wings way back in 84. proudest day of my life. proudly wore them for 18 years in the corps. after the intial punch in the chest you really dont feel anything after that. to a marine theres no such thing as hazing. its a right of passage that few go through. recon 4 life....semper fi
I dont need to let grown men hit me to be accepted in my Corps. In my opinion any man that lets a gorwn man hit them and get away with it is less than....
@blee947 you are right man that shit don't look cool this is fucked up i don't have to go through some sick shit like that to prove i'm a marine then what boot camp is they beat you in there
Got mine in 98' it's a shame the mothers of America have fucked our Corps......I saw such a change from 98' to 06' when I was reluctantly discharged due to medical reasons....Semper Fi to all my brothers out there I love ya'll each and every one!!!
@Turtlebomb11 its pretty much a "welcome to the unit" thing. they earned there gold wings and now to be accepted by all the others they have to go through a ritual
This happens everytime you pick up. Not only when you get your gold wings. I when I pinned Lance my Cpls destroyed my collar. When I picked up Cpl we ran the gauntlet and received our bloodstripe. Civilians will never understand.
The little needles it was OKAY, haah they's bastard took advantage on taking theie aggressio on my chest, thats what I hated. SemperFi, (85) Chief 1st Force Recn Telaga...
@noearaujo nope this is not hazing, real hazing is done in dumbass fraternities and sororities, the reason for hazing in most part is to avoid getting charged for stupid stuff and to learn your fuckin lesson, that way you'll be sure never to do it again, and last but not least, its a fuckin tradition, it makes you have much more sense of belonging its a natural thing we love the things that give us the hardest time and most pain, whether its emotionally or physically.
I'm a gold winger and still have my shirt with original wings and blood stains on it. Received them in Okinawa in 1995....if you aren't a gold winger you will never understand so don't try to....semper fi
oh god this brings back memories when i got pinned corpral, i had about 30 others waiting for my ass at my pinning. and thoushallreason u are right, but thats after the first couple of hits brother, after that ur golden.....
Gold wings are you marines version of airbourne right? Looks alot like when I got back to my unit after airbourne school, I wonder if yalls cherry blasts are as fun as ours haha.
@brizzurker1984 theirs no aribourne marines theirs only two kinds marines and recon marines these guys are recon, recon does everything jumping out of plains, boat deployments etc.
@mrninja1988 Thats because the men next to you would walk pass as you died in front of them and act like nothing happened. Mine brothers would lay down next to me before leaving me.
@Greenmarine6 1ST OF ALL, WE DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS, BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW OUR MARINE CORP.WE ARE BROTHERS, GOD, FAMILY, CORP,& COUNTRY.
I'M OLD CORP! PROUD OF IT! WE DID THIS SAME PINNING TRADITION IN THE 1980'S. THE REASON 4 MOST HAZING IS TO BE ACCEPTED BY YOUR OWN PEERS,& BROTHERS. TO SEE IF YOU EVEN BELONG WITH REAL MEN. IF WE THE PINNERS, PUT YOU THROUGH IT. WE LIFT YOU UP HUG YOU, AND TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE NOW OUR BROTHER,&WE'RE PROUD OF YOU! SO IF U WEREN'T IN MY MARINE CORP FO
When you graudate jump school, the Army gives you lead wing. When a Marine gets his 10th jump, he gets Marine gold wings, so it's a big deal to us.
Usually, every gold winger that had something to do with the jump that day gets to pin you. Sometimes that's a helluva lot of guys pounding your wings directly on your chest. The wings have little spikes on the back, and the truly painful part is when they stick them in you and then grind them -- sometimes tearing tissue. Beer helps.
When you graduate jump school, you get the Army "lead wings." When a Marine gets his 10th jump, he gets his Marine gold wings. We commerate that special day by pinning those wings (with little spikes in the back) directly to your chest. Usually, all gold wingers who had something to do with the jump that day get to pin you. Sometimes that's a shit load of Marines. Basically, your chest takes a beating, and sometimes the spikes, which guys gring into your chest, rip tissue, so it's painful
Not sure what is going on in this vid, but the "gold wing ceremony" happens when a Marine gets his 10th jump in, and, usually, everyone who jumped that day or had something to do with the jump gets to pin the Marine's gold wings on him. Until the 10th, Marines wear the Army "lead wings," so gold wings are a big deal. Getting punched in your chest by a bunch of Marines is painful enough, but when they grind those spikes into you, then it really hurts. The pain helps you remember the day.
the pay is better slightly if your in the billet but the risks are more than the pay,we do not do it for the pay, we do it for the challenge, and our brothers. so fauzdog most of us were grunts before we went to Recon, how about you /
You dont enlist for 21. This is easy compared to what you do as a roper. This is tradition that has been handed down since the days of old. My blood stripes hurt worse the day after than my wings did.
You don't enlist for FR (0321) You earn this shit the hard way. A wing ceremony is nothing less than a show of respect, albeit the guys being pinned get the worst of it. If you're tight enough to wear these wings, you're tight enough to take what your brothers give you....
Ask your recruiter for Reserves and a "UZ" in your contract. That will reserve a slot at TRYING OUT for RECON. It will not guarantee 0321. I recommend active and asking for an infantry slot. Then if you thought SOI was a walk in the park, try out for RECON. Infantry slots are a little hard to come by right now. Too many people want to be badass all at once. Talk to a recruiter!
This is a response to "sleipnir3000" 5 comments down. Sounds like you are upset about something, it reminds me of when I got to the grunts from Force Recon and almost everyone there that had anything negative to say about Recon or Force Recon would say that we were nothing more than glorified grunts. If that is and was the case then how come there aren't any more grunts trying out for Recon? After all we get paid a hell of a lot more than regular infantry.
Been there & done that. As a matter of fact, I stood against that wall about 2 weeks or so later after this was shot and had my own ceremony on 4/17/92
What did any of this prove? A relic of the peacetime 90's. Six months of deployment on a MEU, eighteen months of training...repeat. The only way to look like a bad ass must have been to participate in these rituals. How times have changed.
Hmm... you sound like you got a grudge. If you were not Recon why didn't you try out for it, after all we get paid a hell of a lot more than regular Marines or grunts. The one comment that those that have something against Recon is that they are glorified grunts. If that was the case then how come there aren't more Marines lining up to be "glorifed grunts" ? After all the PAY is way better.
How so, in question to your statement of pay being alot better ? I figured you'd still get the same base pay since you are still the same Pay Grade regardless of MOS and Billet.
This is at a bar in San Clemente, California. I'm a former 1st Recon Bn. Marine & I stood against that wall & got my gold wings pinned on me less than 2 months later on 4/17/92 by most of the Marines you see here in this ceremony. The way the blood ran on my t-shirt I was told was the best one any had seen. SEMPER FI!
Ummm... If you were 1st Bn., you got silver (lead sled) wings. If you were an FR Marine, then you would get the gold. I was with 1st Recon Bn. and got kicked to a Force indoc billet and finally made FR and 1st Force Recon Co. Only then did I earn those Gold Wings and after a time, earned a Scuba Bubble. Get your facts straight before posting BS....
Ah yes, I know the place well. Looks like the whole crew is there. I'm not going to out the bar in case the guys are still doing gold wing ceremonies there.
Yes alot of people get jump wings mostly leadsleads and the poages w/Gold wings are in jump paid billits so that would be Recon Force Recon anglco air delivery and Riggers, and Marsoc now. being a second generation gold winger I thinK its a long lost right of passage because if one goes by the regs you have to do thingd just so in oder to receive them i have seen gold wing wearer that truly don't rate them
The men in this video don't look physically fit enough for Bn Recon, and certainly not fit enough for Force Recon. I served in Force Recon in the early days, '65-'66, and I never saw anything like this. To my understanding, Bn Recon and Force Recon have become much more capable over the decades, and a qualified Recon Marine today represents a very valuable and expensive asset. If this video portrays a real event involving Recon Marines, I hope the Marine Corps has put a stop to it.
I was stationed in Okinawa at the time, I went to ARC with a few of these guys. Having been in 3rd Recon Bn, this stuff went on, yes it was illegal, but we considered ourselves better than all the other Marines, and honestly some of you may not like this, but we are. The rest of the amerikanos haven't a fuggin clue as to why we do these things, this makes us happy. Special Operations is the LAST and I mean LAST of real WARRIORS. the rest suck the big zionist political cock, FU bitches.
It is all love. When you do something memorable, you want to also do something memorable to celebrate. I've gotten my rank blood pinned and gotten my 'blood stripes.' The cuts and bruises heal, but the pride stays with you. That is why jarheads do it. It may seem ugly and vulgar to outsiders, but that is ok. Semper Fi.
blood stripes are worn on the blue trousers for all the Non Commissioned Officers lost in the battle of Chapultepec. So when someones picks up corporal, they get dead legged to make the blook stripes...
we have "blood stripes" on our blues. Basically you get hot boxed in a room with you new NCO peers and they beat the hell out of the outside part of your legs. Most of the times with knees etc.
i know this is all hardcore and stuff, but medically speaking its obviously very dangerous. i serve in the military but i know if someone punches me like that so many times i'd die
UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE These brave valiant warriors put their life on the line for freedom and you deny their freedom to post audio on a web video. It never amazes my how we can defend Americans that turn around and "spit" on us. The pussy libs in San Francisco at Youtube make money off of the blanket of security that the Marines and members of the armed service provide....
These brave valiant warriors are protecting our freedoms and you liberal pussies are disabling the video audio because some left-coast liberal pussy objects to the audio. Isn't freedom great...
don't know if my last one went through or not. turisas, were you some kind of a pog?? i wasn't in recon, but my corpsman got shot at right along side of me in fallujia, and even went on top of a building full of hostiles with a stretcher to extract a wounded Marine, he helped me load and clean my crew served guns and I think he even participated helping me earn my Cpl. chevrons, which hurt but wasn't as brutal as what these guys are doing.
Hell yeah. Corpsman are freaking warriors in my book. In Iraq, our corpsmen were always just as pumped up to get into firefights, just as much as the Marines.
USMC ICT.. then 0311, once you get past that and a couple trips up mt mother fucker then see if your balls are that big. These guys have there SSN's tatoo on there peck and its not for looks these are true machines.
I had my dog tags tattooed on my chest, even though I was only 0331. Getting tattoos like that doesn't mean you're a machine, just not careful enough.
If I recall correctly it was about 18. Got lucky that the DA Plt and R & S were on deployment. I happened to be assigned to the DRP when I got my Gold Wings.
I know a guy who was in Recon during Vietnam (thats the story I was told anyhow). He's 68 years old, 5'7" I'm 16 and almost 6' and KNOW better to mess with him... and every other Marine for that matter.
I,m sure every unit has there different traditions, since it took ten jumps to get gold wings we did ten. Then pinned your self ten. How many times did you get pinned? I've been to pinnings with 30+ gold wingers. did you also have the $110 each bar tab from the ons getting pinned?
Every elite hardcore job has a hazing, it reinforces comradeship. Military, cops, paramedics, firefighters, all have a hazing. It's called cloistering.
So,do something that takes some balls then tell me if you think this is stupid.
Nobody said it wasn't stupid. It may be stupid to you but to these warriors it is an important "family tradition" that they gladly partake. If it was something easy you probably wouldn't think it stupid but then they wouldn't do it (something easy). It's gotta be hard and for no logical reason in order to test and grow their faith in each other.....it's not stupid to me.
yes corpman go through the same training and inniciations. And if the wings fall off after the punch, guess what they have to get pinned into your skin again and get hit once more time...
I sometimes miss the corps, fuck the civilian life.

or you can run 7, 8 miles w/ 50pound sandbag in your pack.

Wait until you are 17 and enlist for Recon Marines. If you really want to improve your chances make sure you are not a retard and/or handicap.

This is at a bar in San Clemente, California. I'm a former 1st Recon Bn. Marine & I stood against that wall & got my gold wings pinned on me less than 2 months later on 4/17/92 by most of the Marines you see here in this ceremony. The way the blood ran on my t-shirt I was told was the best one any had seen. SEMPER FI!

how painful is it exactly?
TheFutureDevilDog 2 years ago
Ummm... If you were 1st Bn., you got silver (lead sled) wings. If you were an FR Marine, then you would get the gold. I was with 1st Recon Bn. and got kicked to a Force indoc billet and finally made FR and 1st Force Recon Co. Only then did I earn those Gold Wings and after a time, earned a Scuba Bubble. Get your facts straight before posting BS....

Ah yes, I know the place well. Looks like the whole crew is there. I'm not going to out the bar in case the guys are still doing gold wing ceremonies there.
Semper Fi.

Yes alot of people get jump wings mostly leadsleads and the poages w/Gold wings are in jump paid billits so that would be Recon Force Recon anglco air delivery and Riggers, and Marsoc now. being a second generation gold winger I thinK its a long lost right of passage because if one goes by the regs you have to do thingd just so in oder to receive them i have seen gold wing wearer that truly don't rate them

Just because you get jump wings, DOES not make you Recon. Many other m.o.s's get jump wings, even pogues.

The men in this video don't look physically fit enough for Bn Recon, and certainly not fit enough for Force Recon. I served in Force Recon in the early days, '65-'66, and I never saw anything like this. To my understanding, Bn Recon and Force Recon have become much more capable over the decades, and a qualified Recon Marine today represents a very valuable and expensive asset. If this video portrays a real event involving Recon Marines, I hope the Marine Corps has put a stop to it.

SOxCALoc714 2 years ago
I was stationed in Okinawa at the time, I went to ARC with a few of these guys. Having been in 3rd Recon Bn, this stuff went on, yes it was illegal, but we considered ourselves better than all the other Marines, and honestly some of you may not like this, but we are. The rest of the amerikanos haven't a fuggin clue as to why we do these things, this makes us happy. Special Operations is the LAST and I mean LAST of real WARRIORS. the rest suck the big zionist political cock, FU bitches.

It is all love. When you do something memorable, you want to also do something memorable to celebrate. I've gotten my rank blood pinned and gotten my 'blood stripes.' The cuts and bruises heal, but the pride stays with you. That is why jarheads do it. It may seem ugly and vulgar to outsiders, but that is ok. Semper Fi.

What exactly do you mean when yuo say "blood stripes" I've heard it is the worst...what is it exactly?
CaptainAmerica322 2 years ago
blood stripes are worn on the blue trousers for all the Non Commissioned Officers lost in the battle of Chapultepec. So when someones picks up corporal, they get dead legged to make the blook stripes...
quincy3521 2 years ago
we have "blood stripes" on our blues. Basically you get hot boxed in a room with you new NCO peers and they beat the hell out of the outside part of your legs. Most of the times with knees etc.

UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE These brave valiant warriors put their life on the line for freedom and you deny their freedom to post audio on a web video.

don't know if my last one went through or not. turisas, were you some kind of a pog?? i wasn't in recon, but my corpsman got shot at right along side of me in fallujia, and even went on top of a building full of hostiles with a stretcher to extract a wounded Marine, he helped me load and clean my crew served guns and I think he even participated helping me earn my Cpl. chevrons, which hurt but wasn't as brutal as what these guys are doing.

Hell yeah. Corpsman are freaking warriors in my book. In Iraq, our corpsmen were always just as pumped up to get into firefights, just as much as the Marines.

I,m sure every unit has there different traditions, since it took ten jumps to get gold wings we did ten. Then pinned your self ten. How many times did you get pinned? I've been to pinnings with 30+ gold wingers. did you also have the $110 each bar tab from the ons getting pinned?

Every elite hardcore job has a hazing, it reinforces comradeship. Military, cops, paramedics, firefighters, all have a hazing. It's called cloistering.
So,do something that takes some balls then tell me if you think this is stupid.
Yah fuckin' dink.
writeguy73 3 years ago 5
Nobody said it wasn't stupid. It may be stupid to you but to these warriors it is an important "family tradition" that they gladly partake. If it was something easy you probably wouldn't think it stupid but then they wouldn't do it (something easy). It's gotta be hard and for no logical reason in order to test and grow their faith in each other.....it's not stupid to me.

yes corpman go through the same training and inniciations. And if the wings fall off after the punch, guess what they have to get pinned into your skin again and get hit once more time...

No, not at all. Corpsman are our brothers, but we don't partake in hazing with them. They may be our brothers, but they're still not Marines.
