  • What about the CUNT Garrison Cap? Russian and Chinese wear them and the cap looks sharp. It fits easily in your pocket.

  • The Beret should be eliminated, its the most stupid "cover" ever devised. A Beret does not provide protection from, wind, rain, or sun. It is the "cover" preferred by troops trained in surrendering like French and British troops. Men do not wear Berets. The Marine Joint Chief threatened to resign if Marines were forced to wear these.

  • BS- two dog tags are issued because if you are killed, one get placed in your mouth, and the other its taken to record your demise.

  • Wait and what rank do u have to be in the AF to be deployed out to Iraq?

  • What do you think?

  • My dad calls the booty caps floppy hats lol :)

  • Hello my name is Emily, I'm 17 and in my junior year of high school and I have a question.

    with parent permission can I do basic training this summer before senior year?

  • @Ifall4you94 You can go to basic training if your 17, but some branches require a high school diploma. My advice would be to wait until you graduate. You will go in with more rank, pay, etc.

  • so are you in the air force or the army cause you do videos of both branches

  • Hey, i heard you can have "rock and roll" as a religion on the tags? is this true?

  • the Air Force doesn't have berets, do they?

  • @skylinegtr31422 Certain specialties do. Security Forces (Cops) and Special Forces.

  • Question: Can you be issued new dog tags if they reach the point of falling off or do they have to fall off before you get new tags?

  • @F35FLYER This is by far the strangest question I have received in 5 years. If it breaks, you get new ones. They rarely break though. Mine have been going strong for 8 yrs with no problems

  • @mvolkin Oh my friends brother had this happen to him last year and I never heard what happen after it. I plan on making a career out of the military so I figured I might need to know for later on. Thanks :)

  • anyone know of any people who go over AF boot?

    

  • cant wait till im in bootcamp .

  • oohh i have b+ too hehe(although i thought that that type of blood type was rare)

  • My father told me that the dogtags aren't used to jam into the teeth. He served in korean Military. Is that same for US military?

  • when you wear your dog tags, the main tag (on the 24'' chain) how do you keep it from twisting backwards?

  • im 11 and i like the army pleese talk to me on my youtube account

  • @armyguy237 you still have 7 years to go. calm down. learn about everything first.

  • How do I prepare for OCS?! :(

  • Hello Sergeant,

    I leave for Basic in July For Fort Jackson!

  • What is the SOP for the wearing of the boonie Vs. the patrol cover? Thanks for all the great info!JJ

  • what is the SOP for the wearing of the boonie Vs. the patrol cover? Thanks for all the great info!JJ

  • hey solider. how many weeks to military did u get ur tags

  • That's a corporal chevron...Sergeant is 3 stripes...

  • I have a question, please answer.

    Dog tags used by army are shiny or metted?

  • Your voice is almost identical to Owen Wilson's.

  • Great video, very helpful! thank you!

  • Can't you put your DOB on the dog tags instead of the social security number? 

  • how many different colors do the silencers for the dog tags come in?

  • I have a question- what if you loose your dogtag? Please answear!

  • @sasha54504 you dont want to know!

  • Comment removed

  • @mvolkin what would happen if you did loose your dog tags?

  • @mvolkin

    wow, be more constructive with your feedback dont just give threats =/

    he asked a question and said please, dont be a smartass

  • @sasha54504 you can buy a new one on a couple of places

  • I was told you have a second one for your boot, because in the case of an IED, you may not have that leg anymore, and they'd want to identify whose foot it is.

  • its a sgt. rank!!! you dont count the space you count the chevrons(stripes)

  • i thought that if you're on a mission you would wear a brain bucket

  • Whats your MOS if i may ask?

  • where can I buy the chain for the tags?

  • cool

  • are Army and Marine ranks the same

  • @RawIsWar97 They have some ranks that are the same in the enlisted but all the officer ranks are the same.

  • Personally, I am going to listen to the man who has been through training and who is addressed as Sergeant Volkin. Also, I know that this does not apply to everyone who is saying it is a corporal insignia, but for the ones that think they know which rank is displayed on that cap because they played Call of Duty, fuck off... Thanks again for another informative video Sergeant.

  • Wow look whos talkn, you might mean N.C.O. but a corporal is not a sergeant.( o wait you might not even know what that means Non Comissioned officer

  • That's a corporal insignia you cunt

  • @kangaroomohawk Sorry bud, better luck next time. It's a Sergeant Insignia. You count the chevrons not the spaces. Do the world a favor and don't try to enlist. Please.

  • You know what would be awesome? If fucking youtube wouldnt fuck up.

  • I wanna post links goddamn it!

  • its an army rank not Marine corps

  • I don't mean to be disrespectful, but I researched the Corporal Insignia and it's 2 Stripes. Sgt is 3.

  • there are...umm se those two dividers as you should call the there are 2 so that would divide them into 3 stripes

  • Go look at the insignia (Corporal/Sergeant). It's only got 2 stripes. But so what, he made a mistake, it's part of human nature!

  • @Videos4USArmy That is definitely a subdued Sergeant rank on an ACU Patrol Cap, you count the black stripes, not the spaces.

    Source: I'm Enlisted

  • Why does every insignia that looks exactly like that say corporal then?

  • A corporal is two chevrons not three, like the one that is on the cover.

  • the black stirpes are the rank insignia, it looks like only 2 but its really 3

  • damn i cant even pass the asvab test =[

  • In the Air Force, very few units wear the beret. The rest of us wear our BDU field caps.

    It's not something to really worry about, those of you who haven't jet joined. You will be briefed on uniform standards during your basic.

  • @Agent1W Hey, In the Airforce the isignia's go downwards right?

  • @redeyeMangekyou The stripes "point" downwards, indeed, not up.

  • My bad, I was counting the Inner space between the black lines as 2. Dumb move on my part, sorry for that.

  • Um.. isn't that Corporal rank (E-4)? That's only 2 bars and a Sergeants is 3.

    Pretty sweet and informative video, looking forward to more. I leave for basic October 28th.

  • it is 3, its 3 lines not bars

  • study ur rank that is a sergeant. dont get them mixed up. by the way i leave 4 basic in ft. leonard wood on oct. 19th

  • Comment removed

  • I don't understand how you could just simply pull the dog tag off by blunt force because those connectors on the string takes a lot of force to break, or do you use the easier way by sliding the string out from the open gap on the connector.

  • he said that was a SGT rank on the cover, Thats a corporal...

  • It's not. A lot of people get this confused. You have to count the number of solid chevrons, which would be 3 in the case of the rank device on Sgt. Volkin's boonie hat.

  • different branch?

  • ill be leaving for baic soon, so i asked my father about the 2 dog tags he spent 22 years in the army, and in the field if you die and it's hard to get your body out they will take one tag with them and the other will be placed in your teeth and kicked it to make sure it does not get lost when they can get your body out chains can brake

  • Hm. I've never heard that explaination of why there is two tags. I was always told that at B.A.S.'s and MASH's, they stick the small chain around your toe... good videos! keep it up!

  • why didnt he talk about the one you lace in your boots.

  • is that the way the U.S.M.C has it?

    if not can someone tell me cause i wanna make one exactly like the marines wear them

  • They're all the same. Except some people will have red ones because they're allergic to something like penicillin. Also some dog tags might have notches in them. Most people in the Marine Corps wear the second one in the laces in one of their boots. Usually always you will never see anyone wearing dog tags on flight lines.

  • Oh yea..  B POSers FTW!

  • it was kind of hard for him to say that the second one is if you die. They rip the second one off and let the long one on your body.

    I understand though, its not easy to talk about that, bud.

  • ehm another question again if everybody is seeing you rank udn a super ultra mega sniper is seeing you wint he shot you with the higest rank ? but this only if your just not in a hot zone

  • You can't really recognize rank from the range a sniper would be at, even if he had a high mag scope. The rank devices are designed so you have to be like less than 8 paces away to recognize it (since if it's an officer, you salute when 6 paces away).

  • its a sergeant rank, 3 stripes, corporal is 2, i am fairly sure i know my own rank. Thanks

  • i was told the short one is for your boot so if you blow up or something they can identify that it is your foot and you are KIA

  • your right, this guys just to dumb to let you guys know that

  • lol i guess so

  • Hm, he seems smarter than you.

  • "Do you understand that?" LOL

  • uh...looks to me like a Corporal Rank not a Sergeant

  • im sure he knows wat hes talking about

  • haha obviously not. Search Army Insignias. Its corporal

  • honest mistake prob

  • It is sergeant. sergeant is 3 stripes. Corporal is 2 stripes and private is 1 stripe.

  • Comment removed

  • Agreed, and I am 99.9% sure that a sergeant symbol is three full stripes not three curved lines.

  • who ever stitched it on his hat maybe did it like that but it is a sgt.

  • i got one of your books and loved it. best basic training book i ever read. REALLY USEFUL

  • Cool, thanks so much

  • hey thanks for the information,great tips,etc.
