"Leap" - New Marine Corps Commercial

[iMrMacintosh]

He only want to swim, now he kill people!

[MrCraigstarcher]

seriously nothing is raciest here. This is a real story of a real marine who is really black. It's his voice speaking so everyone calm down. The officer talking was one of my husband's instructors.

[fl3xforc3r3d]

This guy and I have tha same background.. I can't swim either. But I'm not going to let that stop me. Going to face it and go for it, To earn tha title Marine.

[MrKatzengreis]

Semper piss !

[Skribduex]

I joined the Navy without knowing how to swim, and this video is the most accurate view of motivation from someone who can't swim who truly wants in. I may have been afraid out of my mind, timid to turn back, angry for not learning before. But as soon as Petty Officer said, "Step!", I learned. ~US Navy Corpsman

[plankology]

*shows white guy* I had one problem I always wanted to be a marine but I could never jump... DONT QUIT NEVER QUIT so i jumped across the landmine but then i died because i was white

[rodoflight2]

@plankology thats a cool story bro

[AmericanHonor88]

This is inspirational as hell. never quit

[cgjhue3]

Shipping out this year in September 4th!!!!!!! Semper fidelis !

[gallantprime]

@ominub i completely agree with you man, I'm also enlisting in a year and being able to swim is a barrier I have to pass sooner or later in life, I took swim lessons in my sophomore year and It helped me alot but I still can't master a few things.

[anthonycoad]

i actually know this Marine lol. He fixes on radios tbh but oorah either way

[xxMarinesoulxx]

I approve of this commercial.

[Ryan24Mathews]

For all who's wondering, IF i am correct, this guy is in The "Recon"

[SketchierTrout]

I can't wait till I'm done with school so I can enlist.

[SketchierTrout]

28 people are fuckin retarded to not appreciate the Corps

[mmthebeast]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa damn u skool. but its aw gud two more years of hidh skool and two more yrs of college and im an officer

[ThisxNamexisxTaken69]

Black man can't swim.

[bartamarine]

shut marine and jump --- ohhh rahhh

[alkalinefate]

28 people were looking at their computer screens upside down

[GuruVote]

I'm not a good swimmer and this commercial really helped me face my fears. I can't wait until I enlist in 2 years.

[gatman3694]

@gimmeshelter1212 it really does lol

[marine12324]

i like how there is no actors in these commercials they are all marines in real life

[xxMarinesoulxx]

I love this commerical =D

[hernandezserbia]

This is the Best Video ive Ever seen

[gimmeshelter1212]

I think about the drill instructors line all the time at the gym and on runs to push myself further. It works.

[ACA91USN]

pause at 0:56

stone cold.

[Ernestnapoleon10th]

This will surely help me, I'm thinking I will not win tomorrow on our quiz bee but this commercial is telling me to do my best and show what I've got

[LesPaulWhat]

I think I farted.....

[ARMA365]

@LesPaulWhat omg i did too

[ChickenTUGGET]

what he was wishing for to come out was a chicken leg.......(mission failed)

[ChickenTUGGET]

i thought he would come out as chuck norris

[timdassss]

of course its a black guy that cant swim

[MrSwimmingmango]

@eddieham13 really are you that much of a faggot ?

[feeltherayn911]

i wanna thank all those warriors serving my country you all give me the right to even breathe the air i breathe sempper fi im gonna be joining in three years

[feeltherayn911]

Ive watched this about 1000 times in a row

[Foreverneverlasts13]

all these commercials are the definition of epic

[ominub21]

yo just because they used a black guy on this commercial doesnt mean its racist...statistics have actually indicated that a lot of blacks can't swim...so this is in fact a motivation for us blacks....joining in a year. My dream is to be a recon!

[swagmaster31]

@ominub21 same here well or assault

[bigmaczado4]

@ominub21 Yep my brother went in the Marines and he told 9 out of the 10 guys who couldn't swim were black

[shepherdhand]

@ominub21 My son is a Marine. If you're going to serve you owe it to yourself to look hard at the Marine Corps. God luck and God Bless!

[senor47]

@ominub21 Good luck and be a bad-ass Recon Marine.

[onesource63]

@ominub21 Honestly when I went through boot at PI most of the people who couldn't win were black. However the swim instructors will work with you and you get a few chances before you actually get dropped back.

[PEREZCHOOCH]

@ominub21 This is true that blacks can't swim it's because black people naturally have more muscle mass which means their heavier than your average male so they sink easily

[gizmofsu]

Since when were grunts Operators in the SEALS. A bit deceptive as always.

[GodZxSAINTJT]

@gizmofsu

Force Recon?

[MarathonVeteran]

Nig nogs can't swim lol!

[coffeeandsoup]

27 people didn't jump in and always quit in life.

[hateoffoes]

yeah it's a little racist and very funny. lol

[Everybodylovespeace]

This commercial is so damn good. The only recruiting commercial that tops this is the navy seals "footprints in the sand" commercial.

[iTakeCandyFrmBabies]

this is the most racist commercial ever lol

[rockingavin]

@WhiteKnight180

Because of A racist joke saying black guys can't swim.

[rockingavin]

@WhiteKnight180

Because there is a racist joke saying that black people can't swim. They can jump but not swim. Visa Versa with Whites. Completely Racist!

[rockingavin]

@WhiteKnight180

Because there is a racist joke saying that black people can't swim. They can jump but not swim. Visa Versa with Whites. Completely Racist!

[lordkomodo123]

@WhiteKnight180 hahaha because black ppl cant swim! duh! everybody knows tht. lol jk jk

[CRBASF2]

Wich is better the us marines or rangers?

[ARMA365]

@CRBASF2 FIRST OF ALL YOU WOULD BE STUPID TO COMPARE SPECIAL FORCES CAUSE ITS AN AGUEMENT YU WOUD NEVER WIN WITH ANYONE SECOND MARINES ARE BASIC NAVAL INFANTRY THIER NOT SPECIAL FORCES ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE SPECIAL TEAMS INSIDE THE CORPS BUT A BASIC MARINE INST ANYTHING SPECIAL SECOND IF YOU COMPARE AN ARMY FUCKIN RANGER TO A MARINE WHO IS NOT IN SPECIAL FORCES THAN THE ANSWER I NO THE ARMY RANGERS ARE ON A HOLENOTHER LEVEL!

[ARMA365]

@ARMA365 SORRY I MEANT THE ANSWER IS NO AND I PUT SECOND WHERE THIRD SHOULD BE

[rockingavin]

@CRBASF2

Never again... Just never ask that again.

[rockingavin]

isn't it a little racist they used a black man to say "I couldn't swim?"

[farkyahzalle]

@rockingavin Not racist. Simply "truth in advertising."

[panzerV2]

@rockingavin everything its racist for you? in the army doesn't exist skin colors

[dwidthekid]

@rockingavin hhahah I agree

[mikeangeconeb]

@rockingavin fuck that hes probable y in marsoc so who gives a fuck

[wadadlli]

@rockingavin not really cuz in boot camp all the un qualified swimmers were black..before we deployed same thing.

[faison1007]

@rockingavin LMAO! so true. i leave for basic in about 4 months, but i can swim lol

[RECONxxxMARINE]

@rockingavin how is it racist? It's no different as a white, hispanic, or asian man being unable to swim, what makes black any different? If you consider it racist to use a black man, it would be vice versa to consider racist if it was a white man.

[FRApp44300]

@rockingavin its not haha and also black people have heavier skin and heavier blood vessels which is why you usually see them more muscular and with more ease than us whites! but they don't do good in the cold, they are obviously not very good swimmers and most of the black people i've seen while we were jumping out of my plane didn't want to jump cuz they were scared.. i'm not racist i just observe a general situation and see what behaviors a majority of certain do. stereotypes can be true lol

[hein444]

@rockingavin Or they just found a marine who was courageous and brave enough to face this challenge

[rubberbandman200]

@rockingavin .....no they tried not to be racist by using a black dude instead of a white guy

[cotz2]

@rockingavin Dude shut the fuck up, the fact that your giving the black person special treatment is racist in itself, rather than an white, Asian, or Hispanic.

,

[richkingyang]

did any one notice that he's the only black guy on bored 

[SSgt24thMEU]

I remember back when I was 16 I was a complete mess. I saw a Marine later on and turned my life around and decided to be one. 9 years later, I succeeded, and am doing what I've wanted to do, and I love it. Oorah.

[MrKatzengreis]

" Rich men start wars, poor men fight and die in them."

[SuperDriedFruit]

@MrKatzengreis True.

[mkrauh5]

@MrKatzengreis that doesnt make sense anymore cause not all soldiers are poor.

[doublebasscrazy17]

so motivating, gives me chills :)

[usmarines762]

RECON!!  :D

[berzerker109]

This is bar far my favorite commercial, to make it even better i had the opportunity to be trained and evaluated by GySgt Hill (the Marine who's voice and story were used for this commercial) as my platoon sergeant at Officers Candidates School.

[lillou08scholar]

This commercial is my adrenaline drug.. I shoot up everytime I watch it

[ARMA365]

@lillou08scholar oorah!

[Thrashkittie]

anybody know how high that is ,im a little scared :(

[Aguns61793]

@Thrashkittie

Just close your eyes and remember what your leaders told you to do. Then swim like your life depends on it.

[Thrashkittie]

@Aguns61793 thanks still a lil scared though :/

[utimo1122]

@Thrashkittie the maximum is 15ft the minimum is 8ft

[Thrashkittie]

@utimo1122 thanks im not that scared anymore :/

[MyDarkside315]

@MsPurpleMonkey it's not racist. This guy happens to be a marine and he can't swim. And the point of this commercial is to advertise for the marines and not give up. Like the drill instructor of this marine said: "Dont quit. If you quit now, you'l always quit in life. Go for it." So its not racist, its showing a marine that couldn't swim, but now can bc of the marines and his drill instructor.

[MsPurpleMonkey333]

this commercial is so racist! ever heard the phrase "black men cant swim?"

[Militaryfanatic1]

@MsPurpleMonkey333 Oh Shut-up!

[freakskater854]

anyone else get the chills watching this? finally enlisting next month after 7 months of going to pt, i can finally enlist! OORAH!

[a1024s]

"I don't know how to swim, so I'll jump in the deepest pool and drown. DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR, BITCHES!"

That was fun, but I hope real marines have enough brain not to throw away my tax dollars by dying pointlessly.

[Dekison]

"dont quit if you quit now youll always quit in life" -

[TheFanofFallout]

When I heard in 0:15 dont quit, I immediatlely added the video to my favorites.

[bigpatt11]

@TheFanofFallout i think this video is probably meant for me because i want to join marines but i can't swim but my girlfriend understands that i wanted to become a marine so she's helping me learn how to swim before i go to boot camp in 2013

[fuckrussia69]

GOD BLESS THE USMC !! GREETINGS FROM GEORGIA BROTHERS

[skategoth123]

awesome commercial.



[TheJack289]

is that the marines recon,how do u work in the ocean like the seals

[zachpkmn]

am i racist for thinking this commercial was racist?

[kasper2514]

Never had this ad when I was in. Thats some MOTO right there, ooooraaaah.

[regiroche13]

that shit is so racist of course it had to be a black guy

[LosIbarras2]

@regiroche13 ya it is but they didnt do it to be racist. i heard this from a recruiter.

[regiroche13]

@LosIbarras2 thank you for clearing it up for me dude

[LosIbarras2]

@regiroche13 ya sure thing bro

[flz12345]

hardcore

[mohamed96244]

mr: buddhastalin wht do you mean by black guy can swim, i'm african and i grow up on the beach.......dont think avery black guy can't swim...anyways god bless america and thanks to those who protecting as.

[MyDarkside315]

I'm eventually going to be one of these guys. I WILL.

[MyDarkside315]

These Devil Dogs risk they're very lives for us. To the ppl who don't appreciate them, you can ALL go get f**ked. You should also leave the country. Cause these guys, and every other military/armed forces branch fight for the country we live in, and the freedom we all have here today. They are willing to go on the front lines and die for us and we should ALL appreciate them. It takes a REAL american citizen to turn into a marine, air force pilot, navy man, ranger, or anything else.

[BlazingMunchkins]

And thats how babies are born.

[ThePlainwhitegs]

this is my favorite marines ad

[Yovillianfrk]

Hey Whats That Intro Song Message Me Lmao

[poul546u]

Wish me luck taking the test

[thatguywholikesponys]

@poul546u good luck!

[peterana00]

@BloodBrotherUSMC ohh okay i see

[shamy26581]

@buddhastalin everyone not only black

[sexxican1]

whats the song in the beginning i really need to know

[futbol023]

leaving this monday for the recruit training



[SmallsJohnson10]

leavin in 13 weeks for parris island and i couldnt be more proud. (: <3 Semper Fi

[MrDeath4all]

leaving for the Corps today. just needed this motivation

[123nypd]

This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.

My rifle, without me, is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will...

Riflemans Creed: Hopefully I will get to say that with pride one day.

[jimbojoniezeie]

repeat button?

[jooohnney]

somehow the usmc commercials always give me goose bumps

[MrPelhambay]

the few the proud the fucking badass

[greentea1494]

Is it really MANY will hear the calling, FEW will be Marines? Kind of discouraging....

[TopperRollinCoal]

@greentea1494 actually the passing rate is pretty good for the Marine Corps usually 70% or higher. It's not like Pararescue or SWCC where like 10-20% make it.

[greentea1494]

@TopperRollinCoal Ok good. I'm gonna enlist after high school. Very excited!

[darkwarhate]

can non-americans join the marines?

[Stunnedstudios]

@darkwarhate Well you gotta get citizenship for the US

[CarlesCastle]

@darkwarhate All you need is to be a legal resident to join, no need to have citizenship.

[123nypd]

@darkwarhate become a US citzen or have a green card or working permit; if you get a green card then you enlist and become a citizen after your service is over

[JessePrettyBoySwag]

@darkwarhate Look up the requirements?

Yes, Yes they can.

[MrDj3412]

@darkwarhate my drill instructor got his citizenship while i was in boot camp... so yes

[capnhands]

don't forget about all the Navy ass you can handle.

[sonnyboy746]

This is What a fortune cookie said after i watched this

Now is the time to set your sights high and go for it.

[hoyimpinoy]

DEP right here! GO Marine Corps!

[nickmethorst]

RNLMC can't wait to join them;(

[Prometheus1st]

The things the military puts you through (all forces) is a celebration of YOU as an individual. Each military force needs separate and individual skills and YOU continue to meet those needs.

What does that tell you as a person? It SHOULD tell you that no matter how broken you may think you are, how worthless, how unfocused, how untalented... You are AMAZING, and your potential is virtually limitless.

Go out there and SHOW us... (or join the military...that works too)

[SamderMann]

@Prometheus1st No. Nothing about the Marine Corps is a "celebration of YOU"

There is a reason in Marine Corps boot that the recruits NEVER say "I" or "me" its ALWAYS "This Recruit"

It's all focused on the team. If you don't function as a team, you won't even make through boot.

They do the exact opposite. They tell you, and make you believe that you are absolute trash, and that you will never get anything done without the help of your fellow Marines. That's how they build a team.

[tobiasJefferson12]

I already saw my recruiter! When I return I will shake his hand

[thepsyco12]

I JUST PASSED THE CAT-ASVAB AND I'M SIGNING MAYBE THE NEXT WEEK,CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheBlackPickle]

this commercial inspires me in so many ways......im not American but i have a hell lot of respect for Marines!!

[MassacreUchiha]

@TheBlackPickle OORAH!

[LosIbarras2]

@TheBlackPickle ya this is very inspiring!

[trippinonacid225]

black guy cant swim lol

[jeffsor47]

@trippinonacid225 What's so funny? You probably can't even see your own dick!... lol

[trippinonacid225]

@jeffsor47 your mom saw my dick just fine last night

[MaxamillianArturo]

Sort of similar to becoming a Tanker

[huntertank100]

i feel the same way i cant swim but i know thoese encouraging words will help me get over it one day lol

[Dowdproductions]

This commercial is really racist. Of course the black guy can't swim

[theonlyone1313]

@Dowdproductions

you're an ass.

[Dowdproductions]

@theonlyone1313 Just stating the obvious

[iFaeZwuNi]

I'm sure his drill instructor actually said - "Good you don't wanna jump? Push right now"

[FilmingInProgress]

There are only two kinds of people who understand Marines, Marines and those who have fought them in combat, all others have a second hand opinion.

[AimBernie]

25 quit and are be afreaid to be a marine

[VxfreddyVx]

your m4 would kill you if you tried to fire it after pulling it out of the ocean

[BrownsSuckGoSteelers]

typical.

[45asap]

from the balls of moctezuma, to the whores of tripoli, we will fight our country's battles as united states latrines. fuck the marines,. they are the biggest bullshitters in all of the military

[24Rorschach]

@45asap Oh, you turned the words of their songs to sexual remarks, that makes you feel good doesnt it?

[jeffsor47]

@45asap Bravely spoken like a true PUSSY! ...aren't you.

[Unagisushi89]

i love how he INSTANTLY puts on his cover.

[celius1101]

It's funny how ignorant assholes criticize America and then watch our military videos xD Stupid Shits XDDDDD

[celius1101]

It's funny how ignorant assholes criticize America and then watch our military videos xD Stupid Shits XDDDDD

[eth572]

@HEIGHTSIXFIVE

[EnvelTheTrader]

@GodZxSAINT eh everyone else seems to treat osama as if he was a prophet or something, dont get me wrong he did great things america is a evil nation and does deserve what he did. but still people talk about him too much, he prob isnt dead or died a long time ago.

[EnvelTheTrader]

@GodZxSAINT im guessing ur mean may 2, 2011? osama's death? so ur another retard who talks about that 24/7 who thinks its a big deal?

[CRC1770]

I couldnt swim, so I joined the marines! WTF!

[cqdelran]

@CRC1770 Really ,what an oversite, I could swim like a fish and run like a leopard when I went in and it was no cake walk ........0321...68-72 Viet Nam,went back twice,I guess some of us have to go to hell so others can have there virginsoh ,wait we were there there is no more virgins and the garden of allaha is no a whore house!!!!!

[EnvelTheTrader]

nice terrorist recruitment.

[fransjeclevers]

@EnvelTheTrader show respect to the people that make your country free and protect your values and home!

[EnvelTheTrader]

@fransjeclevers their not protecting my values and home... and american freedom sucks... dozens countries have way better freedom.

[fransjeclevers]

@EnvelTheTrader Then why watch a commercial about the US Marines? By the way, are you an American?
