@sociopathiclove The marine corps has the second highest ASVAB scores other than the airforce. They handle alot of technology and so do we. We can survive with out the other branchs, We have helicopters bombers jets aircraft carries amphibious assault ships and of course our grunts. We dont need you so shut the fuck up.
@sociopathiclove The marine corps has the second highest asvab score and airforce the first, but the airforce has the most technology. Marines are smart and tough, a deadly combination.
@scottisacow I seem to remember using "Sir" or "Ma'am" to "company commanders" (now in the Army and Marines; a "company commander" is a Captain or 1st Lieutenant) when I was going through Navy basic.
Show up to Basic Training with your head already shaved. Your will distinguish yourself from the other trainees
If possible, get an Army tatoo on your forearm - or something like that. Let them see that you are serious about the Army, as soon as you step off the bus
If they ask for Road Guard volunteers - volunteer immediately. You will be one of the leaders in your platoon
Look your Drill Sergeants straight in the eye, every time you speak to them - show them respect

do not compare army and marine corps here because no one really cares! Everyone who is anyone KNOW that marines are nothing more than self proclaimed bad asses. The fact is that everyone I saw that joined the marines were kids with problems. Mostly they were kids that were picked on in school and wanted to change their image. For God sake most of you "marines" commenting are POGS. You did not join to be elite because if that is what you wanted the marine corps is the VERY LAST branch to join.
@MegaDiarrhea Uhhh. Negative. It actually isn't that difficult. If you can take someone screaming at you all day. know how to make a bed and keep a locker, and just force yourself to keep doing push-ups or run or situps past the pain that's all you really need. and don't fucking talk to anyone.
@sociopathiclove you are an idiot. all branches you need intelligence. a "stupid" person can learn how to work on a complicated piece of equipment. That is why they training.
has anybody here actually went through basic? there are an awful lot of comments here from people who dont know anything about what they are talking about aside from what they googled. why do you comment like you know about any of the military missions or military training? this isnt fuckin call of duty. if you havent done it then shut up and learn from the people who have but dont go spreading stupid info to future soldiers and marines
@sociopathiclove at army basic we were to shut up and do what we were told, blood makes the green grass grow, kill kill kill! you dont know what your talking about Marines trained to just follow orders. thats the whole basis of every military branch. dow hat your told to protect your battle buddy and complete the mission.
if you dont do what your told you risk the lives of everyone in your unit and the innocent people your trying to protect. the marines are just trained in different speciality ways but the military was all made for the same overall goal. defend and conquer.
Wow, I was scared watching it. "We got the shark attack!" what a bunch of cry babies! Yeah then they let you go home on Christmas Exodus! Hey argue on here about if women have been in Combat? Hey dum dums, you heard of Molly Pitcher? Seen some streets named after her? Do ur homework!
I remember the shark attack at benning. Brutal. They took us to the bay and smoked us for about 4 hours. There was a pool of sweat on the floor. You could literally push the sweat and make waves. But that looked like jackson so I dont think they did it that bad.
Really? Women do not go into combat? Are you sure? I have seen enough CAB's on females....oh....not to mention a Silver Star for Valor. Check your facts. Women do go into combat. I know a female interpreter that is assigned to an infantry company and goes on every patrol. I know MP's that are trained in Direct Action, and have been in combat. They may not be Infantry....but they fight just like the Infantry and perform admirably.
Women do not formally go into combat. They do go on missions, but never seek and destroy missions. Thats why they are never in 11 series, 13 series, 18 series, or even 19 series. And I doubt they're even allowed to be Combat Engineers, because they also perform Infantry tasks when needed.
Not true at all. Female MP's do take part in DA operations. I know of female 21C and 21E who have participated in DA operations. Just because they are not Infantry, Artillery(of which there are a couple 13 series MOS that females can serve in), etc....does not mean they do not participate in these actions. It is a lot more common than you know. Hell, I know a female interpreter assigned to an Infantry line platoon in Afghanistan right now....she goes with there EVERYWHERE.
@MAOfights Women dont FORMALLY go into combat. Keyword; FORMALLY. Yes, they still do engage in combat, but they are never tasked to do so. We've had female gunners on convoys before, but the original tasking was not combat-orientated.
@MAOfights So according to you, women take formal roles in actual combat. Since they take formal roles, they are in combat arms MOSs. Show me on AKO a female 11B. You're talking like you're actually in the army, so you should have an AKO.
Infantry is not the only branch of the military that takes place in Direct Action operations. Maneuver Support elements also train in DA and take part in such operations, as do some CS elements. 31B, 21C, 21E, 74D, and quite a few others can be tasked with DA roles based upon their unit's mission. This means that they formally formally go into combat under their initial mission tasking. I won't have my battle buddies contributions diminished, when they are doing one hell of a job.
@MAOfights You aren't paying attention. I never said women don't take part in missions. I never said that they never see combat. I said they dont formally go into combat. Under RoE, women are not considered formal combatants, but they can take part in combat when needed. If a FOB is being over run, women will be fighting right next to men. If they have a positive location on an insurgent stronghold, women would not directly take part in the assault.
As part of ROE, there are no gender defined roles....at least there has NEVER been when I have been given a brief....and that has been quite a few times. You act as though they are FOBBITS and never go outside of the wire. If an MP Platoon is tasked with a DA mission, their females go with them. To do anything else would degrade their mission capability. I know a female SSG that has an award for assaulting a stronghold. I know another that was the #1 person on her stack.
@MAOfights Again. You are saying that women are formal combatants. If thats the case, why aren't they in infantry? Its because they are not formal combatants. But like any rule, there are loopholes. So a woman can still engage an enemy.
@MAOfights I never said infantry was, but infantrymen are formal combatants. The Army is based upon the infantry. If a woman become infantry, then obviously they are not formal combatants.
Way to downplay Armor, Cav, FA, CE's, etc. You have gotta learn something here. Infantry are not the only FORMAL COMBATANTS. Technically, all US Service members with the exclusion of Chaplains are formal combatants according the the Geneva Convention. Furthermore, the Infantry are not the only ones who do cordon and clear, direct action, and take part in offensive operations. Your narrow mind will only hinder you as a leader in the military if you continue to fail to recognize this.
@MAOfights Again. You're not paying attention. Or you just dont know. I never said infantry was the only formal combatants, but every MOS supports infantry. PERIOD. If you dont have an infantry, you have no army. If we have no Armor, CAV, FA, CE, it would just be hard on the military. If you dont believe me, try to use a M1A1 to clear a building and tell me how that works for you.
No, but we can use MP's. There are doctrines that will support an Armored/Mechanized assault, which would be just as slippery of a slope as your Infantry argument where EVERY ASSET support the Armor and Cav.....it is based upon the needs of the mission. However, you have been saying that women can't be formal combatants because they are not Infantry which is not true in the slightest. You need to recognize what they do.
@MAOfights Formal combatant means that they are obviously a combatant. A 42A is an informal combatant, because their PMOS is not combat orientated. But when it calls for it, they can be combatants. Women are in that same category. I never said they were non combatants. The only non combatants, as you said before, are chaplains. Do you understand what Im talking about?
@MAOfights How do you figure MPs to be formal combatants? Contrary to popular belief, they're not. Formal combatants job is to kill. Informal combatants job is to use their MOS to support the formal combatants. An MP's job is not to kill. Or else I would have been dead a while ago.
Are you fucking kidding me? They run multiple operation types including Direct Action Operations, including clearing, sweeping, flanking and route security(no where near the same as convoy security). You don't kick down a door to write a ticket. You kick down a door to introduce someone to 5.56/7.62.
Are you so Infantry-centric that you are unaware of what other branches of the Army do? Wow....start to learn, because you will never know how to support your troops operationally.
Read all of the FM's and AR's. They have many DA missions, and I have seen..in THEATER...were commanders have chosen MP's over Infantry for cordon and search since it is a part of what they learn from their AIT on. They do more MOUT than Infantry in AIT.
is it just me, or are there other people that find it funny when women try to act tough like the men in the military? I just cant be motivated when a feminine voice is squeaking at me that she wants me to do something. I would never follow a woman into battle. females in the Army are fine, but actuaal combat? I'd rather follow the village idiot into battle,less chance of getting fucked up
The world has many good reasons to hate the USA. The US invasion/occupation of Iraq has caused over a million people (including hundreds of thousands of children & women) to be killed, & a million+ crippled. There is no remorse. Because of what the pentagon does, the USA is viewed as a big sick bully - like a rich, spoiled teenager on steroids & crack.
Google: "Smedley Butler + war is a Racket" for the truth from a marine who was a real hero. The truth will set you free from your illusions.
I graduated basic 1993 at Fort Leonard Wood. At the time it was still all Male. Male and female companies were totally seperate. I was 18, right out of high school. Looking back. The Drill Sergeants were probably not as scary as I remember. I've matured and toughend up. But at the time..They scared the hell out of me.
hmmm. the basic i just graduated from wasnt easy. alot of yelling, cussing, hitting, kicking. i think if your going to comment on this... do some research.. we didnt have stress cards..i do agree.. basic is different everywhere. which sucks.. i feel fortunate that i went to a tough one. and the whole marine vs army thing... well i thing marine training is a bit more intense.. but even it has gotten soft due to tradoc standards.. and yes i did research before saying that.
The problem with the army is that there is no ONE standard when it comes to training. It's different at every Basic. And it causes problems when you get to AIT, because now you are with people not only from a different basic training, but different discipline levels. For example, soldiers from Ft Knox with generally be more diciplined than soldiers from Ft. Jackson. Not trying to bash anybody thats just the way it is.
huh. i'd like to talk in person with you about that. wow. 6 years? i've been fighting all my life. so, what you believe is every marine is a fallower? and you base that on what experience of yours?
are you fucking joking "sociopathiclove"? this shit is so fuckin haggard and nasty, the way the female drill sgt yelled orders was a joke nd sounded like a little school girl, and the other drill sgt. wow, now i know why my drill instructor told me to step it up on the san diego hills or join the nasty army. i am glad i stepped it up. i wouldnt be too proud if thats really how ya'll train. no offence.
no one branch is better than the other. I am a soldier, therefore I have Army pride, but people should respect the other branches. Each one has its own purpose, thats the whole point of separate branches. come on already.
ARMY its cool and fun. And the ARMY is for those people that want the experiance of military. I would recommend ARMY for those laid back boys and gals. But MARINES are is another story. Marines are for Boys and gals who are Fighters. For the people who are warriors or want to become one.have 1 uncle and 1 cousin in the ARMY. But Im gonna be the first for the MARINES. The Marines is overall tougher than Army basic Training and much Scarier. But i have heard that the ARMY has made recruits cry :)
Duh. Back in the day though, they was some hard motha fuckas. You know, before women infiltrated our workplaces and made everything pussified? Yeah you could have compared marines and the army and arguably either one could have been better. It is no question now.
I'm in the Army, and your father is 100% correct. There is mid-night and mid-afternoon difference between a regular soldier that goers to Fort Sill, compared to an INFANTRYMAN that goes to Benning. And I'm sure it's the same exact thing with the Marines too.
After 3 months of boot camp Marines go to School of Infantry. That's about a month long. I'm pretty sure ft. benning is tough and SOI is no walk in the park either. But I've been to ft. sill oklahoma and boot camp there is a joke.
Is that Hell? Please tell me that is not day one? That is as mean as it gets now? Sorry but that is weak. 8 drills screaming non stop for 2 hours. Heck they came on the bus and threw the first 5 guys off on there ass. 5 mile runs in boots. I know blah blah blah. .......Fort McClellan,C company 1984.
o yea, ive noticed that too, but its just so annoying....if there was a female MTI then id do what she tells me faster because i wouldnt want to be annoyed lol
That's fucking bullshit and you know it. Your dad was probably a little pogue fucker scraping real Marines brains off the ground. You are fighting a fucking losing battle if you think the army is as tough as the Marines. Hmmm... I wonder how we got our fucking rep in the first place; it's because were bad fucking ass.
Army Infantry Trains hard and I'll admit that because I trained with some of the Boys down at Fort Benning but we do not want to go there trying to say that Army Infantry Soldiers are as Tough as Marines. I'm a Marine and trained with those guys. Army Boot Camp at Benning is tougher than the other Forts but Benning is No Where as tough as Parris Island or MCRD San Diego. We can have a Debate about us Island Marines and Hollywood Marines though
For non-military people around here: Think of it in an Ivy League manner. Marines = Harvard, Army= well, many many schools around the country. Coast Guard = high school
"Why in hell can't the Army do it if the Marines can. They are the same kind of men; why can't they be like Marines." [Gen. John J. "Black Jack" Pershing, USA; 12 February 1918]
What a great quote, I had almost forgotten about that one. I think our point here is that if you want to be better trained, have a better chance for survival in war, and look awesome in the process you should forget training with the Army, suck it up, and join the Marines. It's much more simple than these asses are trying to make it; the Marines are just better and the government knows it.
The basic concept of the Marines is to quickly 'Take & to Hold' & the army is to 'Search & Destroy'. Marines hand over what they 'took' over to the army so the Marines can go home. But the Marines have to rotate back in & do the army's thing but do it better, faster with 2nd hand equipment & with a handful of men. Army is all about quantity to get the job done while Marines need only a select few.
US Army has had INVADING units throughout our countries' history and doesn't wait on the Marines for anything. 3rd ID, along with 1st MD invaded Iraq. Ist AD, along with Ist MD invaded the Persian Gulf circa 1991. Air Cav invaded Vietnam. The list goes on.
USMC is lighter than the US Army and have little combat service support, making them expeditionary. The US Army, however, has light, mechanized, and heavy Divisions, with more combat service support. The US needs AND USES BOTH !!!
Dudes and Gals I'm terribly sorry but I am a Marine and this training looks like the boyscouts compared to Parris Island. I'd rather put up with more shit and have the pride of being called a Marine. Soldiers ar pretty much a dime a dozen. I'm not saying that to be mean but alot of the shitbag losers from my high school had a power complex and decided to join the Army. The awesome guys joined the Marines.
your going to base your whole judgement of the army and the men in the army who fought and died along side marines on a youtube video? your fuckin stupid....
No, it is not a marketing tool. Marines have always been preferred in combat. We are the President's 911 call; no joke. If all goes like the government planned: the Marines are a first to go kill force, the Army comes in and occupies, the Navy gives Marines rides and produces the Seals, the Airforce blows shit up, and the Coast Guard, well, I don't know what the Coast Guard does but I can tell you that the Marines are first class and preferred over the Army.lookatwhenthepresexits. All Marines.
Oh please shut the hell up already.Whether Marines or the Army..Were all frm the United States fighten for the same country.I was actually going to join the Marines because i wanted a challenge.But i looked into it more and the Army has better things for me that fit more into my life.Whether a Marine or not,im still gonna get deployed to fight for my country and i want the same damn respect.We all hold up the same flag.
I'm in Iraq right now helping the Iraqi Police get trained so we can leave here and so far we've worked with almost every branch, except the ones that dont deploy of course. I'm happy to serve my country in whatever branch I am.
You used the term 'foxhole', which is an army term. Marines use fighting hole and fighting holes that are only 1 foot deep for sleep and quick cover are called 'Ranger Graves'. These are some of the naval ligo used. When it hits the fan, you only care if the other covers your back no matter who.
It's not a marketing tool but a recruiting tool. The US Army recruits via job opportunities and patriotism. The US Navy and Air Force recruits with education and technology. The USMC recruits by swaying to men and women they are better than the other three services.
Truth is the US strategically uses all branches to win wars. Each branch is interdependent upon the other. Nobody waits on one service to do all the dirty work while the others clean up and babysit.
I respect your opinion but it's household knowledge that the Marines are more hardcore and better trained in general than the other branches. Our boot camp is much longer, we have better uniforms, and the President himself chooses to have Marines serve as his personal bodyguards. (The cool uniforms might have something to do with that last bit!)
USMC has the lengthiest initial entry training of all the services but boot camp is only the start, not the finished product. By all means be proud of your service if you are a Marine. Just don't do it at the expense of degrading others.
BTW Soldiers in combat arms MOS's attend OSUT (one station unit training) for boot. It varies from16 to 20+ weeks, depending upon the job. Then there's more Airborne, AirAssault, Pathfinder, etc slots for more intense training in the Army than in the USMC.
It's not a competition thing for the Army at least. Soldiers have opportunities to be as soft core or as hard core as they desire to be. The boot camp depicted in this video is one from an integrated training station. Combat arms boot (infantry, armor, etc) at Fort Benning or Fort Knox is more intense and MALE ONLY.
Yes, Marines serve their purpose well but so do the other branches. No one is on a pedestal FOR ANY REASON, in my opinion.
I wasn't trying to put anyone down but I served in Iraq back in 2004-2005 and honestly, I felt sorry for the Army, especially the reservists. My reasons are that they were obviously not as trained or disciplined as we were and, as a result, more of them died. It was seriously dissapointing. For instance, one night two soldiers died because they fell asleep on top of their tank and were murdered in their sleep.
This is just simply not true. It's been proven to you in the past that the Army are the first people called in.. just like us ARMY special forces, 10th group to be exact, were the FIRST people to touch down in iraq and Afghanistan.
And regarding "when the pres exits"... I've PERSONALLY been attached as a PSD member (personal security detachment).. which means I've sat next to the "pres" and escorted him. And I'm in the Army.
Of course the first one killed was a Marine; we were the first fucking ones to cross the line in the initial invasion. "Marines die; that's what we're here for. But the Corps will live forever." I did love your tank support though. How does war look through a bullet proof kill machine?
You are a typical Marine, since I've already told you the first people in were the ARMY 10TH SPECIAL FORCES GROUP. But ignorance is to be expected with you guys, no biggie.
Ok, so soldiers are also great Americans who sacrifice their lives but everyone knows that the Marines are better. Why would the Marines have been created if we were just going to be like Army soldiers? We were created to break the mold and serve a special purpose while undergoing harsher training than any other branch; hence the longer basic training regime.
Huh? If thats your thinking, why was the Airforce "made"? Why was the Navy (the people that own you) made? Why is there a coast guard if the Marines are so great? That was a rather ignorant statement, although nothing less than I would expect from a marine.
But what really strikes me as odd, if you were created to "break the mold", how would that actually work since the Army Navy and Marines were all created in the same time-frame? Would there really be a mold to break?
I know you fucking moron, but they didn't always have mp's! They used to make the Army and Marines fend their dumbasses. Do you understand now fucknuts?
(thought since you like the whole putting-down thing, if I also spoke like that you would understand me)
I went through Army basic training and it is only 10 weeks. (9 weeks of actual training & one week of processing) where the Marines are 12 weeks of training with 1 week processing. plus the month of training between MOS school and boot camp so actually Marine training is a lot longer than Army.
Gotta love pick up day.
Even with co-ed platoons the DS's would still pull us (males) outta barracks daily for extra training.

I remember the shark attack at benning. Brutal. They took us to the bay and smoked us for about 4 hours. There was a pool of sweat on the floor. You could literally push the sweat and make waves. But that looked like jackson so I dont think they did it that bad.

Dude that is so sexist. If you knew anything about the army, you would know women do not go into combat, period. This is simply basic training.

Really? Women do not go into combat? Are you sure? I have seen enough CAB's on females....oh....not to mention a Silver Star for Valor. Check your facts. Women do go into combat. I know a female interpreter that is assigned to an infantry company and goes on every patrol. I know MP's that are trained in Direct Action, and have been in combat. They may not be Infantry....but they fight just like the Infantry and perform admirably.
MAOfights 1 year ago
Women do not formally go into combat. They do go on missions, but never seek and destroy missions. Thats why they are never in 11 series, 13 series, 18 series, or even 19 series. And I doubt they're even allowed to be Combat Engineers, because they also perform Infantry tasks when needed.
stuckie401 1 year ago
@stuckie401
Not true at all. Female MP's do take part in DA operations. I know of female 21C and 21E who have participated in DA operations. Just because they are not Infantry, Artillery(of which there are a couple 13 series MOS that females can serve in), etc....does not mean they do not participate in these actions. It is a lot more common than you know. Hell, I know a female interpreter assigned to an Infantry line platoon in Afghanistan right now....she goes with there EVERYWHERE.

@MAOfights Women dont FORMALLY go into combat. Keyword; FORMALLY. Yes, they still do engage in combat, but they are never tasked to do so. We've had female gunners on convoys before, but the original tasking was not combat-orientated.
stuckie401 1 year ago
@stuckie401
FORMALLY is being sent on DA operations, which they do.
MAOfights 1 year ago
@MAOfights So according to you, women take formal roles in actual combat. Since they take formal roles, they are in combat arms MOSs. Show me on AKO a female 11B. You're talking like you're actually in the army, so you should have an AKO.
stuckie401 1 year ago
@stuckie401
Infantry is not the only branch of the military that takes place in Direct Action operations. Maneuver Support elements also train in DA and take part in such operations, as do some CS elements. 31B, 21C, 21E, 74D, and quite a few others can be tasked with DA roles based upon their unit's mission. This means that they formally formally go into combat under their initial mission tasking. I won't have my battle buddies contributions diminished, when they are doing one hell of a job.
MAOfights 1 year ago
@MAOfights You aren't paying attention. I never said women don't take part in missions. I never said that they never see combat. I said they dont formally go into combat. Under RoE, women are not considered formal combatants, but they can take part in combat when needed. If a FOB is being over run, women will be fighting right next to men. If they have a positive location on an insurgent stronghold, women would not directly take part in the assault.
stuckie401 1 year ago
@stuckie401
As part of ROE, there are no gender defined roles....at least there has NEVER been when I have been given a brief....and that has been quite a few times. You act as though they are FOBBITS and never go outside of the wire. If an MP Platoon is tasked with a DA mission, their females go with them. To do anything else would degrade their mission capability. I know a female SSG that has an award for assaulting a stronghold. I know another that was the #1 person on her stack.
MAOfights 1 year ago
@MAOfights Again. You are saying that women are formal combatants. If thats the case, why aren't they in infantry? Its because they are not formal combatants. But like any rule, there are loopholes. So a woman can still engage an enemy.

@stuckie401
Way to downplay Armor, Cav, FA, CE's, etc. You have gotta learn something here. Infantry are not the only FORMAL COMBATANTS. Technically, all US Service members with the exclusion of Chaplains are formal combatants according the the Geneva Convention. Furthermore, the Infantry are not the only ones who do cordon and clear, direct action, and take part in offensive operations. Your narrow mind will only hinder you as a leader in the military if you continue to fail to recognize this.
MAOfights 1 year ago
@MAOfights Again. You're not paying attention. Or you just dont know. I never said infantry was the only formal combatants, but every MOS supports infantry. PERIOD. If you dont have an infantry, you have no army. If we have no Armor, CAV, FA, CE, it would just be hard on the military. If you dont believe me, try to use a M1A1 to clear a building and tell me how that works for you.
stuckie401 1 year ago
@stuckie401
No, but we can use MP's. There are doctrines that will support an Armored/Mechanized assault, which would be just as slippery of a slope as your Infantry argument where EVERY ASSET support the Armor and Cav.....it is based upon the needs of the mission. However, you have been saying that women can't be formal combatants because they are not Infantry which is not true in the slightest. You need to recognize what they do.
MAOfights 1 year ago
@MAOfights Formal combatant means that they are obviously a combatant. A 42A is an informal combatant, because their PMOS is not combat orientated. But when it calls for it, they can be combatants. Women are in that same category. I never said they were non combatants. The only non combatants, as you said before, are chaplains. Do you understand what Im talking about?
stuckie401 1 year ago
@stuckie401
MP's are formal combatants. Female MP's are not excluded from offensive actions. That is only ONE MINOR example.

@MAOfights How do you figure MPs to be formal combatants? Contrary to popular belief, they're not. Formal combatants job is to kill. Informal combatants job is to use their MOS to support the formal combatants. An MP's job is not to kill. Or else I would have been dead a while ago.

Read all of the FM's and AR's. They have many DA missions, and I have seen..in THEATER...were commanders have chosen MP's over Infantry for cordon and search since it is a part of what they learn from their AIT on. They do more MOUT than Infantry in AIT.

The problem with the army is that there is no ONE standard when it comes to training. It's different at every Basic.

The basic concept of the Marines is to quickly 'Take & to Hold' & the army is to 'Search & Destroy'. Marines hand over what they 'took' over to the army so the Marines can go home. But the Marines have to rotate back in & do the army's thing but do it better, faster with 2nd hand equipment & with a handful of men. Army is all about quantity to get the job done while Marines need only a select few.

US Army has had INVADING units throughout our countries' history and doesn't wait on the Marines for anything. 3rd ID, along with 1st MD invaded Iraq. Ist AD, along with Ist MD invaded the Persian Gulf circa 1991. Air Cav invaded Vietnam. The list goes on.
USMC is lighter than the US Army and have little combat service support, making them expeditionary. The US Army, however, has light, mechanized, and heavy Divisions, with more combat service support. The US needs AND USES BOTH !!!

You used the term 'foxhole', which is an army term. Marines use fighting hole and fighting holes that are only 1 foot deep for sleep and quick cover are called 'Ranger Graves'. These are some of the naval ligo used. When it hits the fan, you only care if the other covers your back no matter who.
tunstavern1775 2 years ago
It's not a marketing tool but a recruiting tool. The US Army recruits via job opportunities and patriotism. The US Navy and Air Force recruits with education and technology. The USMC recruits by swaying to men and women they are better than the other three services.
Truth is the US strategically uses all branches to win wars. Each branch is interdependent upon the other. Nobody waits on one service to do all the dirty work while the others clean up and babysit.
KendrickJobe1 2 years ago 2
I respect your opinion but it's household knowledge that the Marines are more hardcore and better trained in general than the other branches. Our boot camp is much longer, we have better uniforms, and the President himself chooses to have Marines serve as his personal bodyguards. (The cool uniforms might have something to do with that last bit!)
chiznarlie 2 years ago
USMC has the lengthiest initial entry training of all the services but boot camp is only the start, not the finished product. By all means be proud of your service if you are a Marine. Just don't do it at the expense of degrading others.
BTW Soldiers in combat arms MOS's attend OSUT (one station unit training) for boot. It varies from16 to 20+ weeks, depending upon the job. Then there's more Airborne, AirAssault, Pathfinder, etc slots for more intense training in the Army than in the USMC.
KendrickJobe1 2 years ago 3
It's not a competition thing for the Army at least. Soldiers have opportunities to be as soft core or as hard core as they desire to be. The boot camp depicted in this video is one from an integrated training station. Combat arms boot (infantry, armor, etc) at Fort Benning or Fort Knox is more intense and MALE ONLY.
Yes, Marines serve their purpose well but so do the other branches. No one is on a pedestal FOR ANY REASON, in my opinion.

I wasn't trying to put anyone down but I served in Iraq back in 2004-2005 and honestly, I felt sorry for the Army, especially the reservists. My reasons are that they were obviously not as trained or disciplined as we were and, as a result, more of them died. It was seriously dissapointing. For instance, one night two soldiers died because they fell asleep on top of their tank and were murdered in their sleep.

I went through Army basic training and it is only 10 weeks. (9 weeks of actual training & one week of processing) where the Marines are 12 weeks of training with 1 week processing. plus the month of training between MOS school and boot camp so actually Marine training is a lot longer than Army.
