Any of you who are wanting to enlist into the Marines, make sure you read through the Future Jarheads Website. The link is on my profile page. It is filled with info that you should know before enlisting and shipping.
God Bless Reubon and all of his loved ones. What a selfless, brave young man. How can one ever possibly repay or truly express ones gratitude and respect.
@sgtgs1 its funny how Parris Island gets more spotlight then San Diego ever had, just saying and to retort your comment, "Parris Hilton, Paradise Island" (you get the picture) sorry but I got to stand up for my MCRD SD brothers
@3fsh i should resent that, but it was explained to me that both places have it rough, paris island is just viewed as harder, the humidity makes the climate harsh, whether in summer or winter, the sandfleas are also a killer part of the training (i dare you to scratch a bite). San Diego has rough terrain, as in mountains, hills, rocks, etc, while paris island is full of sand. kinda makes paris island seem harder right?
@bludrgn5 Both places are hard in different ways. I can't say that one is "harder" than another. Pariris Island doesn't have the grueling climb at the end of the crucible (the reaper). East coast grunts just have this attitude towards San Diego boot camp that pisses me off. I can understand a little good natured "oh, we're better than you" but I've heard some pretty harsh insults and it's just unecessary.
@3fsh its just viewed that way, then again, if your listening to what grunts have to say, then your listening to information that has not been thought through. im an 0231, i dont listen to grunts in my company, its not their job to think, its mine. but im inclined to agree with you and keep it that both training bases have an incredible hard training routine
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! The silver bullet! I had forgotten about that. One of my platoon members got that on the second day of training. Ha! I made sure to hydrate ALL THE TIME after I saw that. Good times. Semper Fi brother.
im going to join the marines, because i want to serve the country. I don't care if i am not american. I want to experience those pain in the training good luck to me 2011.
Is there a reason why the guys in the third and fourth row from the right at 2:14 are still marching while the rest of the platoon stood at attention?
They're doing something called "cover and alignment". They have to make sure they're perfectly lined up with both the person in front of them, and the person next to them.
just wondering but how old was he when he enlisted? he looks a little older at MEPs swearing in than he did as a recruit haha. at meps he looks like 33 but as a recruit he looks like 24
You can see his sigh of relief at the end of the video. It's around 3:20 where you can just see him take one deep breath after putting his Eagle, Globe, and Anchor onto his hat.
lol. the ceremony room....i remember that. Our ceremony officer was a Marine. Everyone in the room was entering the Marines except one army guy. by the end of the ceremony he said that he should've joined the Marines.
My hubby was in the Coast Guard for 5 years, then exited. This brings back memories - we lived all over, 4 states & first 2 kids in 6 years. Marriage "stress test." LOL!
i just swore in two days ago marine active duty 0311 cant freakin wait an it dosent matter if your a reservist your a marine an theres one thing my grandad taught me once a marine always a marine ooooooorahy an simper fi
Ooh-Rah Brother, Semper Fi Great Job, another great warrior to defend our freedoms and preserve our country, have faith in what you do and always look forward to great opportunities.
Paratroopers are not SF, not even close, and Cav Scouts aren't either. Cav Scouts are no different than regualr Army Infantry except that they focus a little more on recon type stuff and spend more time in vehicles than an regular Army Infantryman.
Marine Infantry isn't SF either.
Marines are just as badass. I got nothing but respect for them. We all do our job in the end.
What you're doing is trying to compare oranges and apples. Each division of the military has distinct and unique purposes and strengths. The Marines have Force Recon, the Army has Rangers, and the Navy has Seals. Trying to say that any one of these is "better" than another is ridiculous. I'm partial towards Marines of course, but that's just a matter of pride because my fiancé is one. :P
Good luck! Oh, and I wouldn't say "Hoorah", 'cause that's an Army thing, and they'd probably skin you alive if they heard you say that. It's "Oorah!" :P
I am sure they can, But Marines Can Also and the funny thing is you are comparing a infantry to a Special Forces person, and the Marine Holds his Ground!!! OOORAH SEMPER FI
and to all you other Branches of the Military God Bless!!!
i knew he was 1st Battalion from the red shirts the DI's were wearing. but one of those DI's looked very similar to mine. then again they all look alike lol
Oh god he's a reservist? He will start hating his life in about 2 years, maybe less. Tell him to go active...this is coming from a former marine grunt reservist
nothing wrong with it just know that you'll get shit for it all through boot and possibly soi. just move fast and sound off and don't do anything stupid and you won't catch any real flak from your drill instructors about it. you'll still get slayed but that's what every recruit is in for.
The reserves is NOT "bad". You'll probably get made fun of by other Marines and called a "weekend warrior". They also tend to screw up your paycheck when you finish training and go to once a month drills. But, the bright side is that you get awesome training, decent pay, and the ability to live a somewhat normal life rather than being stuck at a base somewhere.
He was in the hospital at Camp Pendleton for a week on double rations and then on light duty for a week at MCRD... that's why he still has a little bit of a stomach, otherwise it would have been gone. As for the marching, his whole platoon wasn't very good at it in general... lol.
He looks hella old at first..maybe it was his hair style and his beard..but after bootcamp he looked very good and young..not saying he didnt look nice before..he just looked better!!..Oh and i plain on joining the marines too..Im studying for my ASVAB test right now..I want to be a Marine soo bad!! I love your video!!
Thank you! Yeah, when he shaved his goatee off for boot camp, he looked 10 years younger... once he graduated, he looked like he was 17... lol. Congrats on joining up! Start exercising now and get in shape! :D
