MARINE LIFE ... 3rd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion

[mrmidget94]

Im enlisting next year and was wondering, what exactly does LAR do? how do you get in?

[biguglymouth76]

@mrmidget94 Lar has 0313's (LAV crewman) and 0311's (scouts) there is a few 41's and 51's as well. The boot 13's are usually drivers and after a 1.5-2 years they will be the gunner and near the end of a 4 year enlistment be a VC, the scouts kinda ride around in the back (sleep) until they are asked to get out (scouts out) and see if the coast is clear for the loud vehicles to advance further

[mrtrollmaster1]

well you enjoyed it...and now you wouldve have hated it...when I left back in 08 everyone was fucking each other over. The only ones picking up were the ones cuffing nuts and deep throating. I've met a couple of 1st/3rd LAR marines some have been around since peace times...and they always say how lucky you were to make the decision of leaving with good memories. The Corps isn't what you left it as. More snakes than brothers now...

[View4474Leo]

You guys are heroes.

[lvrpatriot01]

Hey I was wondering did you ever re enlist and why did you stay for 4 years you didn't enjoy the military life. ?

[biguglymouth76]

@lvrpatriot01 why didn't I re-Enlist...I told myself that if I wasn't a Sgt. at my 4 year mark I would not re-Enlist..I was offered SGT. and $5k from the Career planner but after our deployment I would either have to go to the Drill field or SOI school to be an Instructor neither of which really appealed to me, if I could have just stayed with the unit I was with I would have totally done it.

[long1rifle]

Love the video...gave me flash back!!!

[jcecdank]

why didnt you stay he asks... lol .. go and youll find out my friend

[01FutureMarine]

Why didnt you stay longer if i can ask? Well thank you for the time you did spend in..

[biguglymouth76]

Looking back, I wish I would have stayed in. Those were some of the best times I have ever had, at 22 I thought what I wanted was civilian life now at 32 I miss My Marine life.

[AtwaterFan27]

I feel the same exact way. I MISS the Marines way of life and will do anything to go back. I was in 96 to 2000. I am now a lineman for a electric utility in northern california. Thanx for the great video. It brought back alot of memories!!!

[usmcaggie73]

what company were you with? one of those pictures looked like nathan courtwright......

[biguglymouth76]

@usmcaggie73 Bravo, 3rd LAR in 29 Palms

[woLFpaCK03131]

how do you get into the lar

[jason0313]

WELL, 29 palms is still the same, camp schwab is totally differant, is that the essex? been on it twice, horrible ship, anyway, good vid man, 3larbco.

[biguglymouth76]

Fort McHenry it's a lsd 43 I think.

[sootandstarz]

cool video, great music choices

[wewenttothezoo]

Light Armored Reconnaissance is nothing but a bunch of pogs who what to be a recon marine but are to fat and out of shape to be the real thing!

[biguglymouth76]

Like I had a choice what unit I was sent to out of SOI , it kinda goes by your last name and where it falls in the alphabet...with that being said , being an FO for for the lav crewman and calling in fire missions from atop a hill a safe distance away is good fun...and when the day is done we get a ride home.

[bradhoushour]

Spoken like true admin clerk.

[coreywilson75]

right and what exactly do you do? go to the zoo i bet... fag

[DynamicManic]

shut the fuck up

[chicklNstu]

boohoo go suck some more knob

[ConfederateTanker1]

your either a poolee or just mad cause you had to hump it every where you went

[wisecory]

Hey man, I got out in 06... did my fair share of traveling. Your video captures what it means to be brothers. Been out 2 years and those are still my brothers, never forget the men who made you who you are.

[hunt247]

Why did you not stay in? Your missing out!

S/F

[demandred753]

He was leaving right as I came in.

[parth3]

that put a smile on my face... thanks man

[USMC2010VMI]

this was pretty cool man. I can't wait until my time's up, but i've got a while, i know i'll miss it though. How about you? Did you ever look back and miss it bad enough to re-enlist?

[biguglymouth76]

Yeah I started missing it about a year after I got out..but most of my friends were out by then too...If I could go back I would have re-enlisted , I had it made once I picked up CPL.

[MOS0311]

[biguglymouth76]

story of my life-social distortion and , turn the page-metallica

[edgar0001]

Terrible this phenomen of mass idiotism among mass murderers. But they are obvisiously proud to be idiots. They even will not understand when they are killed.

[alexman18]

yet another dumbass who isn't grateful. If you hate the military so bad move to iraq bitch.

[yaghoobse]

I hate to break it to you my friend, but even thought Im not for anti-military rhetoric, being so is the pergative of everyone who lives in this country, so if you cant handle that, then perhaps it is you who should move to a dictatorship, youll fit right in.

[USMC2010VMI]

You want to come help me be proud to kill people like you??? fucking fag.

[davies2k]

im thinking about joining the marines, is training really that hard? i mean im not lazy or anything i have played rugby for over 4 years and 1 of them years being semi professional, msg me plz giv me some advice, are the drill seargants really harsh ha,

-shaun

[Ltomar1]

first of all dont ever call a DI (Drill Instructor) a Drill Seargant, thats the army. Second training will be 13 weeks of hell. they will b the hardest weeks of your entire life. Good Luck!!!

[adam31337]

what kind of question is this. Drill sergeants prepare you mentally. What do you think, they are going to sweet talk to you? :) For that go to Army or something, you have 3 flags to pull when you are stressed out.

[9NineNine9]

Are all Marines homosexuals, or just most of them?

[StandardDeath]

someone seems a little insecure of themselves now don't they

[IMario75]

Very nice. Brings me back some of my best memories during my time in the Marines.

[MOS0311]

[0331]

[Rain10588]

[sergheis]
