Portage High School Marine Corp. Junior ROTC Ball Drill

[Madara2233]

our school doesnt have a ROTC:/

[MorbidNightmares]

It's optional. It's kind of like a separate class within the JROTC program. It's called Drill.

[XxCoDBlackopsxX1]

in rotc do u have to do this with the rifles or is that optional idk im in 8th grade sooooooo

[bradycorcoran]

@XxCoDBlackopsxX1 im in 8th grade also just letting you know military related stuff isn't a game, once you die it is over and not everyone makes it out obviously so don't join thinking your going to make it and be a hero or you are going to recieve the medal of honor or anything because if you think like that you will probaly die alot faster i know this us ranger and that is what he told me.

[MrEuxTube]

This is a crying shame. To give kids a military education is one thing, but to glorify these routines by giving war the impression of being something out of a movie is insane. The saddest part of this is, all these kids see are the cute rifle flips, instead of what actually happens in war.

[TheInsaneCalateral]

Wtf People why do u search up this shit if ur going to be hating? stop talkin shit! it pisses me off. Dont bother clicking on the vid if ur gonna be talkin crap.

[vjacq88]

These poor brainwashed children. They're kids and they should be concentrating on enjoying their youths. People really need to understand that yes the army does help in terms of maybe attaining a greater insight in ones self worth but you can get the same thing as just being a kid. We have to be honest and admit that the military represents "WAR" and "honestly' that's something everyone would like to see abolished. This cant go on forever. Hitler did this before, let them be kids.

[TheInsaneCalateral]

@vjacq88 Umm Your Wrong.??? Kids Such As Are Age Enjoy JROTC Because It Gives them an idea of what it will be like. Me, Im In NJROTC Navy. So Idk I Wish We had a Marine class. So Kids have a choice and let them choose what they want. Im getting a Scholar Ship To Have A Career Non Like You.

[vjacq88]

@TheInsaneCalateral You really don't know what the Army represents do you? Sad. Dont worry because once you got that first jolt of hot steel searing, piercing your flesh then maybe that'll change your tune. I'm all for structure but glorifying cadet activities is just another Psyop to promote more attendees to fuel this senseless war. Kind like Facebook. I applogize but sending kids to war to fuel their delusional dreams of living a true life "Halo reach" experience doesn't sit well with me.

[bradycorcoran]

@vjacq88 haha the steel burning through your skin thing shouldn't change anyones mind considering pain is only a feeling that will dissapear in a matter of time if you really want something you won't let that stop you.

[vjacq88]

@TheInsaneCalateral If anyone wants to throw their lives away in support of this Fake war then by all means proceed to do so but I'd rather spread the word and save a few lives.

GL with NJROTC.

[sniperRobert]

unfortunately i have army at my school. i would like to be in usmc jrotc

[somthingbad]

this shit is awesome. we have air force at my school

[tatersalad259]

[SpiritofVersaille]

calm down. whats your job choice gonna be?

[HighFlyer2017]

Most public High school drill teams spin the 3 pound wimpy rifles. My drill team, Riverside Military Academy, Spins real Springfields and are undefeted for over 20 years

[ririckyrickyracoon03]

i would rather wait to join the real thing instead of doing a silent drill to this fag music!

[MrHackNerd]

tell that to the sdi

[stratassassin]

@ririckyrickyracoon03

hell you motherfucker :)

all rotc is the gayest shit ever, it makes little kids think they have balls

cant wait to be a fucken grunt in the corps then go to Ocs, not rotc and become an officer,

[osirouss]

@stratassassin You know, the JROTC doesn't help you become a officer when you join? You just get promoted once when you Enlist.

[TheInsaneCalateral]

@osirouss Yes But u do get an idea Of what it will be like.

[ScubaSt3v31993]

lol the portage indiana indians i love the marines but you guys always beat us im the brickie army jrotc

[thevintagegoth]

MCJROTC wichita, ks. we did expo, i miss it.

[JPSwissCheese]

NJROTC Chapin, SC

[kometshockeyxicy]

baloman for jrotc here in Indiana we get a 17k bonus if we join the military for just 3 years of work.

[kometshockeyxicy]

AFJROTC here in fortwayne :P great jobs guys

[hawtmalle]

Im in rotc at McQueen HS in Reno

[szymanski112487]

I see that routine hasn't changed since ive been in that class...

[Meatbizzall]

do u have to take Marine ROTC in highschool to take it in college and be enlisted as a 2nd li?

[Baloman]

No you apply for ROTC in college, if you are in high school you most likely will do JROTC however you don't have to take JROTC to do regular ROTC.

[MTASairsoft]

if you do JROTC what grade you gotta be in? and do you get deployed after high or can you go to college first?

[Baloman]

JROTC is more of a sneak peek at the real ROTC, it was no value if you just do JROTC and then join up. YOu would have to go through ROTC or OCS training, JROTC is a good way to get started and it looks good on an application for regular ROTC.

[Baloman]

OH and you have to be I believe its 16 to do JROTC.

[MTASairsoft]

oh ok thx and do they have that for every school or only for on base schoolds?

[Baloman]

ROTC depends on school solely like the college, look into Navy ROTC schools for Marine Corps, JROTC can be done anywhere and it is usually done over a year or two.

[thevintagegoth]

rotc is college, jrotc (junior rotc) is high school and there is NO military obligation. rotc, however, there is military obligation if you go into your third year. but you don't go active or reserves till after you graduate. you can start jrotc your freshman year of high school. here in my city (we have the largest jrotc corps in the nation) we also have a leadership program which is basically jrotc in middle school. i don't know if that's a national program. i did both leadership and jrotc.

[beauguthery]

at my school theres no military obligation even doing 4 years of rotc only if you want and get approved for the scholarship its like 4 years air force

[sportsfan942]

lindenhurst birthday ball was better

[octacon1223]

im in nrotc saint cloud high school

[ESPNMVP]

im at njrotc in STL MO

[wasp8893]

im part of the AFJROTC in arkansas i must admit big air force guy but my word your rifle team is like 100 times beter than ours. props to your commander

[bloodyday21]

im in AFROTC at wayne highschool in fortwayne

[andembersrise]

My grandfather along with Mjr Stewart is the person who started the MCJROTC at this school, and I must say you guys have come a long way. Congrats on your performances, however, I wish Mjr Johnston/Sgt Mjr Altizer didn't approve the music, it makes the awesome performance seem like a joke. Althought I never was in the ROTC, I joined the Corps right out of high school to honor my pops.

And yes, those rifles may be demilitarized, but they are heavy as fuck. Don't hate! REAL M14s!

[luluthomas98]

I remember this..but from my day..86-90. They have changed the routine a bit since my day. lol

[HellRaiserDX]

Did any of you forget that they represent MARINES?! Last time I checked the Marines were the toughest in the world. They do have Marine Instructors and I'm damn sure they treat them just like Marines. Every unit I've seen is hardcore and they own everyone.

[pmeflip]

dude... what happened to marines being soldiers. i've seen synchronized swimmers that would love to kick their asses

[YoungTeufelhunden]

I've never heard marines being soldiers, they're not soldiers, they're warriors, and also the drill movements are part of the training, you have to act fast and work as a team, so next time, think before you say something derogatory.

[0andrewlevi0]

Sweet Top Gun soundtrack!!! This was the gayest thing I've seen in a while.

[meutubeaccount]

oh shit you marines have it! hoorah cadets from the Navy lol.

[Airsofter112]

MY school uses Spring Field Sniper RIfles with no Firing Pin.

[TheILLUSIONIST93]

Semper Fi

[gyhighway]

thats is some good drill im a cadet at a marine corps jrotc unit in new york and my drill team couldn't hold a candle to you guys.

[gyhighway]

that song is out of place.

[Fatalshot11]

Damn Fine Job! Even though the music (Kenny Loggins: Danger Zone) is somewhat Air Force oriented (I dont take sides, just saying) hehe

[angelmarine1292]

God damnit I wish is was in marine jrotc not army jrtoc

[gyhighway]

im in mcjrotc and i fuckin love it!

[angelmarine1292]

Lucky.

[malicia77]

Back in when i went there they gave em five bucks to be hall moniters at the basketball games and crossing gaurds at the basketball games. Go big Fn Red

[sephious159]

how many people have they killed? did they get some kind of twisted satisfaction from it? when they are satisfied with their slaghter they can come home and beat their wives

[jmoneyt23]

wow, what a huge disgrace to the marine corps. whats with retarded music and stupid dance like moves? and why are they doing the same move over and over again. no marching makes it really easy especailly when you have a fake rifle. as a current active duty marine i have to say i feel embarassed that you even try to use the title of marine while doing shit like that.

[silentkiller072787]

Tell me something? How are you gonna criticize these young people who are setting a good example for their community, when you havent ever dont what these young ones have done before. TRUST ME those are not FAKE rifles they are definetly serialized U.S. Government M-14 7.62mm rifles. If seen them myself because i am the first person on the right line. You have no idea, none whatsoever so you need to can you Fucking mouth

[gyhighway]

yes they are cause my mcjrotc drill team uses them too you are right. they are real m-14s

[UltraXryder]

Hey ass wipe they are real M-14's that weigh 9lbs I know I was on this team a few years back Ill admit the song may be out of place but who cares...and its a DRILL team not a march team...easy huh I want to see you throw a 9lb rifle over your shoulder right into a team mates hands which you can not see

[erin]

"get real m-14's and get rid of the song!" that's what colonel would say right after he yelled about how stupid we would look doing whatever it is you think you're doing.

[UltraXryder]

They are real M-14s and its called Drill and this school does very well and state and national competitions I know I was on this team a few years back

[aeonxbleu]

rofl, the guy below me is arguing with himself.

poor guy.

go join the reserves

[aureve]

[Continued]

Sure, you can twirl a piece of plastic (a "facsimile" or FAKE rifle), but there's nothing special about that. Do it with an M-14. That's true work. That's something a Marine would do. If you want to dance to music, join the cheer squad. Leave the real work to those who can get the job done.

[aureve]

[Continued]

Honestly, it seems like you're just trying to embarrass yourself with this excuse of an armed exhibition, if you want to even call it that. I hope that you're not planning to do another performance like this, because it's a slap in the face to any Marine who has worn that uniform. This performance shows that your Drill Team has no concern for truly representing that for which the Marine Corps is known.

[aureve]

Wow, it really hurts to see someone in a set of blues doing a "performance" to such a crappy song. This is something that an Army ROTC here would try to pull off.

"We're not going all out hardcore traditional. This is only Junior ROTC; High School. "

So, because it's "only JROTC," you think it's okay not to give a damn about honoring Marines with a decent performance? I'm surprised your MI's let you get away with such a piece of crap.

[UltraXryder]

Your an idiot who cares what song they chose

And they are real M-14's not " facsimile piece of plastic"....I know I was on this very same schools team a few years back and my neighbors son's are on it now and I help them practice once in a while

[gyhighway]

Silent drill platoon uses 9 lb. M1 rifles.

[dkickboxer]

Lame o music. When I was in MCJROTC our gunny wouldn't have let us play that music, he was a hardass.

[BensalemRotc]

Those are not real M14's. They are replica's that wight bout 3 pounds. Real M14's wight a good 12-14 pounds and you wouldn't be doing that shit, trust me.

Silent Drill Platoon wanna be's.

[UltraXryder]

those are real M-14 once uesd in combat and the only thing removed is the firing pin and they weigh a little more than 9 lbs.

[gyhighway]

M-14's weigh 1.5 lbs. The ones used by the Marine Corps Silent drill platoon weigh 1.5 lbs. If those rifles wieghed a little more than 9 pounds like you claim, they wouldn't be doing half the stuff they are doing.

[gyhighway]

actually you were right, they weigh about 9.9 lbs.

[Schmelby]

First off, if you plan to wear the uniform, and represent the Corps, get a haircut. If you look crappy in your uniform, then it totally takes away from your routine. Second, try to use actual weighted, demilitarized weapons like a 15 pound M 14.. You could use the training with those. Third, if you took your routine seriously, you would've never put it to music, it totally takes away the WOW factor and shows that you just feel like fooling around and not being TRADITIONAL.

[MorbidNightmares]

The male's hair is cut.

And we're not going all out hardcore traditional. This is only Junior ROTC; High School.

But I can't defend them that well. I'm a female, I wasn't in that. Plus I was only in ROTC for two terms. Two more terms starting soon.

[MorbidNightmares]

Plus our Major and Sg. Major were both in the Marines. They know what they're doing. So shut it.

[xBgirlism]

not cool. whats with that music? >_> ..

[imaeffingmonster]

those are real m14 dumb ass

[xBgirlism]

LOL. if they are real m14's they woulda made a tap when that honor guard tapped on the ground. uhhgg duhhh x_X

[MorbidNightmares]

The sound is a little delayed, hun.

[UltraXryder]

I will confirm they are real M-14's weighing 9lbs+...Ive been on that team

[USMCR]

Funny how these wannabes get dress blues and try to call themselves marines.

[liling1]

man that was kool i wanna join the marines but do you think thell let a bony gurl in

[halohat]

Did you use 03's or M1's

[H0m3s]

damn i wish my school had an MCJROTC program but we just have navy btw are those alternative arms ?

[freedomtragedy]

the real Marine Corp silent drill team practice day in and day out, there would be a reason i would know....

[AZNROCKER]

[Linkgt]

[gothdoll19]

[Aikoshi]

[MorbidNightmares]

[interpolnarc]

[Spartan2090]

I'm in the Navy JROTC i'm trying to get our drill team looking good. You guys are a great example.

[TStaff]

that's incredibly cool... we don't have a drill team that does anything like that lol Awesome!

[Kime0]

[UltraXryder]

[joesdamarine]

I'D LIKE TO SEE YALL USE REAL M 14. S

[UltraXryder]

Hey bro they are real M-14s

[foxxman]

I love the routine! Very Sharp!!

(Im in the AFJROTC)

[IanMarsh]

Go check out my friend, Bens Video...thats how our team Drills well...Him, Me, Reagan, and a select few others. I was 3rd in the Nation at the 2003 Daytona Beach Nation Drill Team Compitition, for Demilitarized Individual Exibition with Arms (real M1garand fyi)

[MorbidNightmares]

Maybe?

[MorbidNightmares]

Omg, Woody? No way.

[MorbidNightmares]

Really? Yay. I never saw any other drill team before, so I wouldn't know if we were good or not. xP

[corpsgasm]

Now that is some drill, holy crap, you would beat any team in our region.
