Surviving the Cut - US Marine Scout Sniper - Part 1

[drewskies1alad]

the most deadliest weapon isn't a marine and his gun its PUBLIC SPEAKING

[SwaaagaasauR]

If anyone has seen the movie act of valor, I am aiming to become one of those especially the sniper. I am young and don't know where to start. Do I join the army first? Do I become a seal, marine, what classes should I take? Many questions

[MrKittycat1337]

@SwaaagaasauR Navy Seals take more Marines then anything else, in order to be a Scout Sniper, you must be either a Seal, or a Sniper from another branch, or usually A recon Marine.

I would read the book, SEAT TEAM SIX, it talks about one way a man became a Seal. Sad to say this, but the Army (unless special forces or operations) will not get you any where to become a Seal. If you can, go through JROTC in high school. Do the PT team, and Marksmanship team. Good luck, I am also on this path.

[alphadogs1]

4 people need to move to Iraq if they don't like the USMC.

[blaby4ever]

sniper training: puckers your asshole

[MicOfficialYT]

Do you think they'll ever continue this show ? :(

[paragonx11]

Many people don't know this but there are less Marine SS than there are navy seals.

[MrKittycat1337]

@paragonx11 And even fewer Seals who want to do the Marine scout sniper program with the Marines.

[Homefront61]

Look at those dreads Jk

[havingfun1968]

People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. Thank God we have the Marines....

[SsKProductionz]

Hey everyone, just curious what kind of training would yall recommend for a 14year old that's planning to become a Marine Scout Sniper?

[sluggoII]

@SsKProductionz If you're 14 yrs old and want to be a Marine Scout Sniper: 1) Learn to be a "participant" in life and not a "spectator" in life. 2) Spend more time outdoors. 3) Work out. 4) Run. 5) Join the NRA. 6) Make friends with people who hunt. 7) Hunt. 8) Avoid fat chicks and weenie pacifists. 9) Read Ayn Rand. 10) Make friends with the people you meet doing 1-9. I'm not kidding. Remember there are winners and there are losers. Not everyone gets a "trophy". Semper Fi!

[BFFFL16]

p.i.g.s. ...well what a coincidence, aye

[MrChannel5news]

what does it mean to change observers?

[IronBuddha80]

@MrChannel5news The observer is the guy next to the sniper looking through the scope telling the sniper the conditions, where to set his shot etc.

[aswomnessguy]

@kevinburnsrules No, its CORRECTABLE 20/20 vision that is required, if you can get contacts then your eligible, if its not 100% correctable then no, you cant join.

[kevinburnsrules]

i cant do this if you have to have glasses and cant see very well out of one eye i cant do this right?

[survivalskiller]

@kevinburnsrules not if u cant see...

[kevinburnsrules]

@survivalskiller ok cool

[toadman842]

Imagine if they did an episode Surviving the cut: Army basic training. LOL

[skaterjerk9]

@toadman842 well you cannot be taken out of Basic training. this is for special forces

[REDSCOUT3]

@toadman842 this is only addressed to special forces not basic marine,navy,army,airforce training

[toadman842]

@REDSCOUT3 yeah, I know. I was saying it in a joking manor, because basic isn't anywhere near as hard as special forces.

[REDSCOUT3]

@toadman842 >:O

[ericssson]

the canadian course is better sorry

[louistheonion23]

@ericssson so is the Royal Marine Commando sniper course :p

[SURFtaco723]

240p......we meet again

[WhatsASubscriber]

What are the requirements to be a sniper?

[MMAMarinecore3]

@WhatsASubscriber Patient 

[ArchOfficial]

@WhatsASubscriber

A good start would be to not ask on YouTube.

[3moskatezShuffler]

@WhatsASubscriber (1) Must have a minimum GT Score of 100 or higher.

(2) Must be currently qualified as an expert rifleman.

(3) Possess all the essential qualifications and capabilities of an infantry Marine.

(4) Must have vision correctable to 20/20 in both eyes. Color blindness is discouraged.

(5) Must have a current First Class PFT.

(6) Have no history of mental illness.

(7) Must be eligible to receive a secret security classification.

(8) Successful comp

[bigbenlinman7]

@3moskatezShuffler by saying must have vision correctable to 20/20 in both eyes do you mean by using contacts?

[3moskatezShuffler]

@3moskatezShuffler thanks its going to be long way from now!

[GeekTechMac1]

@3moskatezShuffler if a Marine has been diagnosed with PTSD from combat in Iraq or the Stan will he be disqualified?

[Mrextremeo]

@3moskatezShuffler what if you don' t have 20/20 vision like i can see pretty well without contacts or glasses i just cant see the details

[3moskatezShuffler]

@Mrextremeo You might not get accepted because a sniper is required to shoot at long range disttances you might want to get the laser eye surgery if youre really committed to becoming a sniper.

[IMrBubbl3s]

@chiefke1 i know but i thought i heard they take the marine scout sniper course

[jstewart9356]

If you haven't been to Iraq or Afghanistan, shut the fuck up about it.

[IMrBubbl3s]

don't navy seals have the to go through this to become a sniper

[chiefke1]

@IMrBubbl3s seal's have their own basic training

[Crunox]

hello 240p, we meet again...

[violinwesley]

friend: that awkward moment if none of the candidates make it

me: dude they're Marines. Trust me. Some will make it through :)

[ovandolah14]

one of the toughest in the marine corp is definatly true

[Thaibokser]

The JFK shot..The pink mist..

[popmerde]

@Thaibokser this is not that shit. this is the real deal kid

[thegrimreaper541]

man that looks hard

[They0y0nutz]

1) pause 3:55

2) put /watch?v=1UjJdB7bWaE

[ultradude306]

Hey! You guyz forgot about the 360 no-scope test! You also forgot about the quickscoping, dealing with noob tubes, and angry people raging at you!

[manifestgtr]

pandapalace11 you're a fucking moron...you can't even get your stupid fucking uncle sam spackles my throat cliches right the first time...kill yourself please

anyway...this school looks awesome...these guys are doing some amazing work...if I wasn't so "genetically inclined" toward music and aviation, I would be realllllllyyyyyyyy into this...keep up the good work guys

[taybad01]

can girl be snipers in the Marines ?

[Ilikesifsif]

@taybad01 Women are not allowed to serve on the frontline in any branch of the american military, and I would think snipers fall into that category.

[jobicutooo]

@Ilikesifsif but women are allowed to be sappers

[Laylow4now]

@taybad01 ...there were numerous female snipers with the Viet-Cong who did alot of damage to the US and the French before that. There were female Germans snipers during WW2 and also Russian snipers during the German invasion of Russia during WW2

[SSgt24thMEU]

@taybad01 Women cannot serve in an infantry MOS.

[SuperSoldier4Freedom]

@taybad01 sorry no they cant

[3moskatezShuffler]

@taybad01 No .. Girls can be in the kitchen . ^.^

[taybad01]

@3moskatezShuffler ummm no.

[pandapalace11]

If you don't stand behind our troops, why don't you fucking stand in front of them?

[bingbangboombing]

@pandapalace11 Love that saying

[angelofdeath264]

@pandapalace11 so true

[BTHENIGMA]

@pandapalace11 ..Fuck that, in a few years im standing beside them!!! :D

[7464C]

What amazes me is how a sniper can go days without firing a shot or wait days for that one shot. Amazing

[iheartsforeverx]

honestly this looks intense. just because you hear the stereotypes about how americans are doesnt mean they are all like that. these trainees definitely deserve respect.

[SuperRanga12345]

where is the 360 no scope??? ;D



[AsianKevin10]

@SuperRanga12345

Soilders don't trickshot

in real life

cause they can hit a teammate

i guess

[mrsdracomalfoy1000]

@redace52 Scopes.

[navyy110]

I think snipers are the baddest people on the planet i have always wanted to be a sniper and i will sign up for any regimen that i can get into protecting my country one enemy at a time

[RUDI1016]

Hahahaha.....me encanta.....los yankees simpre presumiendo sus fuerzas armadas pero no han podido vencer a unos mugrosos Talibanes.....hahahahahah

[razorsixfoursniper]

and everyone shush about who's better anyways. the best snipers are off the books. yeah, america has covert ops. oooo big deal. who doesn't? but i gotta agree, u.s. marines have the best snipers that are on record.

[xscapetupac]

@razorsixfoursniper no... canadians and britishes have more records indivudually than americans...

[razorsixfoursniper]

@worldfrintlinemedia

stop calling us "yanks" unless youre referring to a new yorker. that term is just so old. then again, you are british...ohwell. and while i have respect for british troops, i cant say theyre better than american troops. sure we stick our nose everywhere, but our armed forces are pretty top notch.

[frank12364]

so ive watched both this and the marine recon trainind and the recon seems harder. but i wanna be a scout sniper, i cant wait till i graduate from highschool

[redace52]

what r those things on the barrel of thouse snipers

[oystein127]

War criminals

[laxhockeynguitar]

@oystein127 you sir are an idiot....war criminals are classified as terrorist groups, also the nazis, maybe youve heard of them. i want to see you fucking do this shit. fucking pussy...

[oystein127]

@laxhockeynguitar

gang raping a 14 year old girl then murdering her, and her 5-year old sister and her parents.

killing blindfolded detainees for sport.

Lining up unarmed civilians and shooting them execution style

Using mustard gas, nerve gas and other burning chemical weapons against civilians

cut off water supplies, bombed electric plants and sewage plants causing epidemics of cholera, dysentery and typhus.

Bombing a Children’s Hospital

If these are not acts of war criminals then nothing

[airforcerotc305]

@oystein127 Ignorance is on your side today.

[oystein127]

@airforcerotc305 How so explain

[TheBizzyWig]

@oystein127 You did all that?

[TheBizzyWig]

@oystein127 By "war criminals" you mean "heros" right? God bless American troops!

[muffinninja321]

Killing folks is easy.. Being politically correct is a pain in the ass!

[AgentSpiral]

@muffinninja321 Exactly, America could have won this years ago if we didn't have our hands tied like litlte kids. They'll shoot us up in a second though..

[testbooster]

@muffinninja321 Well said...

[MasterComputing]

@muffinninja321 You still have to live with day in and day out that the people you killed may have had families and friends. Although most of my family were in the army, they never talk about who they killed, because they don't want to remember.

[11xXDANIXx11]

@muffinninja321 Most believe the opposite, but then again I'm not from bible belt of America and I probably don't share the same views of others as you.

[kenrea03]

@muffinninja321 achmed the terrorist lmao! i watched it

[abusivedinosaur]

all these guys are hardscopers lol jk i understand this

[ARMA365]

YEA RIGHT...EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT THE REAL DANGOUROUS WEAPON IS AN AIRFORCE PILOT :D

[PunkRocker96706]

@ARMA365 ha! i love your sense of humor :D

[ARMA365]

@PunkRocker96706 THAT WAS NOT A JOKE

[PunkRocker96706]

@ARMA365 okay okay! i agree now! D:

[ARMA365]

@PunkRocker96706 jackass

[PunkRocker96706]

@ARMA365 LOL! chillax bro... xD LOL! I'll tell you what's the dangerous weapon.... a Navy men and his ship xD

[ARMA365]

@PunkRocker96706 hahahah now that a joke!

[PunkRocker96706]

@ARMA365 THAT WAS NOT A JOKE! >xD

[ARMA365]

@PunkRocker96706 best joke ive heard all day!

[blackfeatherarchery]

Our troop's are trained extremely we'll top notch USA all the way,

[SSgt24thMEU]

@Madam Kouassi That's because less Marines are eligible. Just to be able to TAKE the class, you have to be an expert with the M16 (34/40 hits in boot camp, some targets at 500 yards), and have a first class PFT (500m swim in under 12:30, 3mi run under 18min, 20 pullups, 100 situps in 2min).

[Roscoe100486]

Shit looks intense!

[RayWilliamJohansen]

marine snipers are the best snipers

[Psychocide]

PIGS, HOGS lol

[shutupdad117]

4 yrs I'm out school go us marine sniper that's my feild

[MeInvalidMan]

@shutupdad117 2 years :)

[Lysanderfication]

Fucking 240p

[bradyxxballer]

USMC D.I. : "You can forget about your mom, your girlfriend, and your home!!!! Now I am your mom, I am your girlfriend, and this is your home!

[Victoryman34]

@bradyxxballer Ooooooh! I hope I get to hear that! WOOOT!

[captainCanuck96]

whats the standered sniper in the u.s army btw im canadian

[HDContrasis]

@captainCanuck96 The Standard U.S. Army Sniper Rifle Is a R700. The U.S. Marine Standard Is the M24

[SSgt24thMEU]

@HDContrasis You sir, are wrong. The Remington 700 is the civilian rifle the M24 and M40 are based off of. The M24 is the Army's rifle, it is based on a longer action. The M40 is the Marine rifle, it's based on a shorter action, which better suits the round, and is the better rifle.

[texasrangersr1]

@HDContrasis correction the US Army standard is the M24 basically a R700 the US Marine Corp is the M40A5 built in Marine Corp base in Quantico

[georgiaborn08]

the dude who does the commentary for this has a bad-ass voice.

[MadamKouassi]

9 weeks? One third fail? To hell and back? That's barely a warm up for Royal Marine snipers. They may only get 14 recruits per training season and less than half will pass. If they get 5 people to become RM snipers, then the officers have done well.

Even so, US snipers do seem to have some guts doing their training. Looks intense.

[PJATdug]

@MadamKouassi There's more Americans, bigger military. Of course it's going to be more left over in the end.

[ciyean]

@MadamKouassi RM stand for Royal Monkeys?? Don't step to America boy. You don't know anything talking down to Americans... fuck yea

[MadamKouassi]

@ciyean No... R.M. Stands. For. Royal. MARINES. Okay? Good. Boy.

[TStrince]

@MadamKouassi well in the marines we want the best of the best kind of people out there i mean like the best of the best. marines do more work then army/navy/airforce in my opinion US marines are pretty badass we dont have many snipers cuz its really really really hard to be a sniper the gov. isnt going to let weak and stupid people in the marines dont want them to get killed so yeah royal marines are pretty badass too

[WorldFrontlineMedia]

@ciyean How about you dont step to GB. you dumb Yank disrespecting the Royal Marine Commandos, the worlds most Elite amphibious Infantry, I love America but when I come on some youtube page and I see dumb Yanks like you disrespecting your allies for no reason, because you think your the best thing to hit this earth which makes me laugh. I could disrespect your nation as a whole just like you did with the RM. but im not going to do that, Im better then that, Dont make an enemy of your nation.USUK

[ciyean]

@WorldFrontlineMedia You glorify war. You are a Royal Monkey.

[WorldFrontlineMedia]

@ciyean And You as an individual are a Useless Stupid American -USA.

[Curevicc]

@WorldFrontlineMedia Aww shit.

[TheBizzyWig]

@WorldFrontlineMedia I hope you don't think ciyean is the baseline for American intellect. That said, every fighting force in the world has to think they are the most elite. And when it comes to the majority of spec ops they're right. US, UK, NZ, Canada etc... They're all tough as nails. God Bless ALL of you for what you do in this world.

It's a shame that so many have had to give their lives so that nitwits have the right to insult them.

[texasrangersr1]

@MadamKouassi well there more Marines than there are active Britsh Army soldiers but yeah from what i see its freaking intense i guess they keep it short and sweet but tough as hell plus like the narator said only around 300 active snipers are around that means it gots to be freaking intense but alos the Royal Marine is considerd more of a commando unit the Marine corp is considered a whole branch it self

[ocontreras69]

@thehalosparten54 try both :) I want to be one of those too

[thehalosparten54]

i watch this episode of surviving the cut almost everyday but i dont know wht i wanna do marine recon or marine sniper

[r1s1ngarmy]

@thehalosparten54 Good luck with whichever you go for

[ib3scope]

iluv how everything is hell :))

[crazybj003]

AMERICA!!!!!!

[KhinShaider]

Those marines that failed can they still re-enroll or can come back again to sniper school? Maybe next year?

[rogueARMORrox]

kids and their petty arguments.sigh

[Mr1DEVILDOG]

All you guys seem foreign so what would you know about Americans

[TheSouthpaw1993]

@Mr1DEVILDOG i know, i can't stand people like that on youtube...

[vF3ARv1]

@Mr1DEVILDOG they are future terrorists

[559forgiven559]

@Mr1DEVILDOG Spoken like a true fuckin Patriot.

[BuscoBeast]

@Mr1DEVILDOG probably more than americans themselves

[USANAmillionaire]

@BuscoBeast i can smell the jealousy in the air. jaja its typical with losers like you LMAO!

[BuscoBeast]

@USANAmillionaire nope, that mut be the shit at your knees... kthxbye

[Bodybuildinq]

@Mr1DEVILDOG Everything. They've invaded almost every fucking country.

[christhegreatish]

@Bodybuildinq more like helped every country you stupid fuck

[DANTE2106]

Sniper, one shot, one kill ... Salutes from Colombia ...

[pinche1994]

OH MY GOD!!!!!!! I payed for this show on iTunes (i think cuz i can't find the receipt on my email) and didn't even watch it cuz around that time I don't know what happened and i reset my ipod or somethin like that. THANKS FOR THIS FREE VIDEO!

[didiweewee]

kicking a ball and killing someone are 2 vary different things

[KIngAragorn100]

@didiweewee yeah and aslo pressing a button to kill a fake person is totally differnt from shooting a real person

[chatanwarrior]

@didiweewee wa?! but i like kicking balls lol

[alwaysyoung90]

i would love to be a marine sniper. im 14 and if i dont go pro for soccer this is my second choice

[CommedyCommedy]

@alwaysyoung90 i highly doubt youll be a sniper nor a pro soccer player, be realistic

[LogicStance]

@alwaysyoung90 Really? If you don't make it to the one in 500,000 career you're going to go for the one in 1,000,000?

[TheDudeFrom0Z]

i wonder what they think about while there observing because it can take hours cant it...must be pretty relaxing and peaceful until they have to shoot.

[yourtuber8541]

@TheDudeFrom0Z How about having to send back information back to the coc (Command on Control) or not sleeping because youre on watch and if youre a lil pig your ass better be doing range cards. Nothing relaxing, the only peaceful time is before you take a an actual shot.

[mrfrosty8172]

A SEAL sniper instructor said "name one fucking thing in nature that looks like burlap"

[bleushift]

@pokerjack4356 aint gonna argeu with you anymore

take a good look in the history books that are not pro american..

now iam tired because i had a nightshift and going to bed

laters..

[bleushift]

@pokerjack4356 dude this is my final comment on this because this leads nowhere..

Americans let the black guys do all the work.

SLAVES remember.. and it was holland that gave them and made both countrys well rich

yeah america is a great country

just to bad so many ignorant americas live in it..

[bleushift]

@pokerjack4356 and another thing.

i know a dutch marine who was on a joint exercise in norway with brits and americans

the americans were acting like assholes, 2 days later the americans couldnt keep up at a big mountain march.

and the brits and dutch laughed at them because they earlier were claiming they were way fitter then the rest.

and it so happens the same dutch marine went to iraq and saw how americans ran over a civilian with a apc whiel they couldve simply taken him off the road.

[megadarkwarrior]

@bleushift  bullshit

[Polszenager]

@bleushift

of course man, dutch are known for their "aggressive" battle behaviour and courage, they just hide whenever a war in europe happened.

[bleushift]

@Polszenager lol the dutch have fought against spain for 80 years to gain indepent fought the brits and the french and won mostly

what is ur point?

clearly bullshit

[Polszenager]

@bleushift

Spain soldier is worth nothing indeed, the brits were just a kind of neutral and in the end fooled everyone seizing the most fighting the less, and finally there is a good statement for french: "you tremble like a French soldier ";

[bleushift]

@pokerjack4356 and i highly respect the american vets that fought for our freedom here yes and we celebrate every year. and iam very happy to have you as our ally.. But you simply cant get around the fact that the us defense gets its strength out of quantity not quality .. your soldiers go through fast speed courses compared to european army s. countrys like uk israel germany holland have all gone agian much bigger army s and were victorious. and we were fighting since the romans

[bleushift]

@pokerjack4356 and name 1 war where the us did win on its own against other countrys that were a match for them..

and dont bring up panama or small countrys like that...

i respect americans but what i cant respect is that saying you saved europe and crap like that..

treu you did play a huge role in ww2.

but remember europe had a knife on its throat for 2 years before you chose to step in..

[bleushift]

@pokerjack4356 i know alot of history and plenty about warfare,, America has BIG military with ALOT of personel and HIGH tech equipment that doesnt mean youre the thoughest.. Your country has the size in it advantage.. Thoughest military would be for instance.. israel or the Uk and its common knowledge for people who have served.. that the usmc is a big strikeforce while the uk and dutch marines are way better trained and are more commando light infantry.

[miracal97]

@bleushift America does have the best technology. Not to mention our military has some of the hardest trainings in the world. Isreal and Uk I agree Is also the best in the world, but so is America.
