  • Isn't this song a Ranger School thing?

  • @CaptainAmerica322 I know the singer is a ranger, but I don't know. Video seems to be of OCS candidates.

  • @CaptainAmerica322

    It obviously IS an OCS video... Notice the WOMEN? Thats why I was confused because I thought the SONG was a Ranger School thing. I have since discovered the song is also referred to as the RI them. RI=Ranger Instructor. So it IS a Ranger School song.

  • Odd feedback for this video yet again.

  • @NstyEN

    What? a sergeant is an NCO what the hell are you talking about?

  • Funny cause most if not all of these pics are not of rangers

  • @Redarmy5845 so?

  • I spent 17 years as an NCO combat tested Desert Storm & Iraqi Freedom. I may not have been the best but I knew my shit and was squared away.

  • who sings this?

  • the song is about ranger school. patrol leader. the slideshow is a bunch of national guard ocs candidates.

  • @iscoutout No it isn't it was made by Special Warfare Training Group Cadre the album can be found on the soundsofswc website.

  • Fuckin No Go.

  • Theres a difference between leading a platoon and leading a squad. The whole platoon is in the hands of the Lt. Not the Sgt. If a platoon fucks up on one of its mission its the Lts fault not the Sgts. If a Lt is out on patrol and the shit hits the fan and you get 6 6 W.I.A. its the Lt fault not the Sgts. Our jobs is to bring you guys back to your familys. Every choice we make as officers May fuck up the whole Platoon, Company, battalion...Etc etc. Its harder to lead then it is to follow.

  • @McDogginified I hada typo. "6 6 W.I.A." my mistake,I meant "6"

  • "your alpha team leader's rubbing it out with a maxi magazine of white life behind that fucking tree" lol funniest part

  • @ridicul8 your alpha team leader is rubbing it out to a maxim magazine with a white light behind that fucking tree*

  • @usindependent50 it sounds like white life but white light makes more sense in the military... but ya thanks for correcting me

  • Way to ruin a fantastic song by putting fucking NO-GOCS wannabes as the premiered PL. This song isn't for weak-hearted ROTC candidates.

  • 11 people didn't make it threw ocs

  • youre the medic? well youre fuckin dead too

  • Whats with some ACUs some BDUs?

  • @FutureMiddy

    when the army was between to uniforms some units had been issued and some hadnt. I wore my bdu's until the sgm said he would discipline us for not wearing our new pos acu's.

  • @FutureMiddy This was taken during the transition period when ACU's were just being fielded.

  • @FutureMiddy BDU's = wall to wall counseling and ACU's = joes showing up from ITB saying "you cant cuss at me, ill call IG"...

  • Always remember you can't spell iNCOmpetent without NCO.

  • @NstyEN Choke yer'self Sir.

  • @1982patriot HAHAHA Rgr.

  • @NstyEN must be an officer or at least never going to be an NCO. There is a big difference between being a Sergeant and an NCO..... I'll let you figure that one out.

  • @LetsFlyWa

    I've been both...and you're right there is a big difference. Sergeants are tools, but NCOs make it happen. It's called the NCO Creed not the Sergeant's Creed. Relax.

  • 11 ppl are incompetent PLs and recieved a NO-GO

  • your alpha team leader is out in bushes rubbing one out with a maxim magazine and a white light

  • Nice mustaches

  • Classic stuff!

  • Your 240's unmanned. The gunner's out in the bushes dropping off a SEAL team lol

  • the dudes who made the song were special forces students at camp mackall they made a whole album called CAMP MACKALL

  • @flyinmonkey3114 Is the rest of the album as amazing as this song?

  • 0:051 - 1:08 is the best part of the whole song haha!

  • Man I can't stop listening to it, I mean it's not a musical piece of art, but it's just a piece of art and I really like it :) ...Ride on..

    WHATCHA GONNA DO PL?

  • 1:19 fatbodies!

  • :D man I'm not even in the army(yet) and I already get it and I'm lauging my eyes out!!! :D ....

  • Ok, Just where the heck can we find this Song? What is it's title and by who!?

  • the lost leading the blind via a plan designed by fools for idiots.... and yes, this is obviously an NG training session.

    AD would have wasted a lot more money on the training AND the lame ass video.

  • good point by spartanthree8zulu asking how I can tell that this is a group of NG officers. I guess apart from the obvious straight line begging for a response laying out some "hit you in the face" sarcasm, my simple response is patches (the 38th and 34th Division patches are quickly identified without even looking closely) and bumper numbers of vehicles. I'll let others fill in the sarcastic observations.

  • funny thing is, while training to be a pl you notice that you are grouped with a lot of dumb fucks, there are great 2nd Lts out there but there are also a lot of people who think their the shit and really are not. listen to the nco's, best piece of advice

  • You cant Spell LOST without LT!

  • "you know what PL? Im done with you, your dead too" lol

  • 11 people don't know what they are going to do!!!

  • i got stuck with 3 fucked up pl's shit they were retarded looked like a goat fuck all the time one of them threw a grenade in the opposite direction of the bad guys

  • Well, if the "LT getting lost" problem exist for 100 of years, why doesn't the Army put more land navigation course for the officers school is beyond me.

  • @NoobSoldier2006 I'm in ROTC and land nav is pounded into us regularly. It's just a problem of human nature. People get lost.

  • @RamenOps ok listen here future PL...no one here is bitching about a dumb fuck butter bar wet behind the ear officer geting lost...what pisses most of us off is when we come up and say..."hey sir...your fucking lost...we need to go this way" and then he goes "hey SSG i know what im doing...get back to your squad" thats when we let them fall on their face....NCOs will be a PLs worst nightmare if they cross them the wrong way

  • @Texashog74 So far in my limited experience of the Army, NCOs are the people I respect the most. Don't worry about that.

  • @NoobSoldier2006 nothing replaces actual field land nav, nothing short of repeat and repeat training over different and varied terrain is going to teach someone how not to get lost, also, some people are just naturally better than others at land and air nav.

  • @NoobSoldier2006 Oh, they do. Some officers are just terrible at it. Some enlisted are too, but the enlisted guys who suck at land nav are never the ones who speak up to the LT. Or the ones who are leading the platoon.

    Fact: There will ALWAYS be more E's around than O's. If there is ONE O who is lost there HAD BETTER BE at least one E who knows how to get him un-lost.

  • This song was made by the guys at Sounds of SWC. They've got a few "songs".

    If I remember correctly, they are or were SFQC cadre.

  • wow these are a buncha wannabe Rangers......female trainers n shit.......these guys are all pussies

  • @TreJay you think these future officers in the United States Army are pussies? shit the fuck up kid

  • Not angry: just incredulous at the audacity.

  • Really? National Guard OCS video covering a song about Ranger School? That's your assessment of wannabes wondering around in some lame black version of a patrol hat in a local training area at an NG training facility giving grief to candidates who go home on sunday night after a weekend stint in heck? Unacceptable. Ranger the fuck up.

  • @erlamoe its a video.... get more angry. please! we all enjoy it

  • @erlamoe National Guard is gayest thing you could possibly do.....buncha wannabe soldiers........soldiers are soldiers 24-7.......no a couple days a month......Man up and join the real Army u fags

  • @erlamoe how do u know its ng?

  • I play World of Warcraft with the Ranger trainer that is the vocal in this song. Check us out on Alterac Mountains server or at Forgottowipe com he is my GM

  • special forces

  • song from s.e.a.r. school s.f. my pops buddy

  • I'm gonna have to use this as a "motivator" at one of my Phase II drills...

  • always remember, you cant get LosT without the LT

  • @67152 and you cant spell incompetent without NCO

  • @3:50- is that john mccain?

  • PL is Patrol Leader.. Its from RANGER SCHOOL....

  • @ctuccio PL is platoon leader NOT patrol leader

  • @usafpj101 in some setting yes... I used it in that way as well. But trust me on this one, they aren't talking about platoon leader in that song.. That song is written and performed by a bunch of Special Forces guys, they're definitely talking about patrol leader from ranger school.. Been there done that..

  • Comment removed

  • @usafpj101 You sure it can't be both?

  • im pretty sure the NCOs who go to squad leaders course in the USMC kno this song...i kno i do..it starts at the small unit leaders, not the officers...the NCOs r the backbone in the Marines...maybe the other branches if they were any good haaa

  • im pretty sure the NCOs who go to squad leaders course in the USMC kno this song...i kno i do..it starts at the small unit leaders, not the officers...the NCOs r the backbone in the Marines...maybe the other branches if they were any good haaa

  • I used to play this for the Butterbars in OBC. I was a terror during the FTX. I would gas the hell out of them when I had clearance. We would ambush them all night. Good times. Then I went to OCS and found myself on the other end. Still good times.

  • Dear Q Troop,

    Don't care.

    Love

    Your EOD Guys!

    PS what are you gonna do?

  • idk what pl even is, platoon leader? idk i just love military stuff so this is b.a

  • @heatwave2012 you're right, that's what it stands for

  • @wes276 alright thanks man

  • great song i went to marine corps infantry squad leaders corse and this song was right on Q with what we went through

  • Does anyone know where i can download this song?

  • Thank you for that viking...

    Not a day went by in Q course that this song didn't come to mind within 5 minutes of starting the day

  • If you have not been through the Q course believe me you think you know this song but you have no idea. And to anyone who says "well we can share this song and be equals, it's really about leadership" go fuck yourselves its about the Q course.

  • @viking11x  Indeed.

  • @foxxblaze1 I agree, obviously, some private who got internet access on his 24 hour pass.

  • This is too funny. But it is so true.

  • i know a few PL's i had in my time (including my self at times) that this song applies too HOOAH!!!!

  • are woodland BDUs used at all anymore?

  • WHATCHA GONNA DO PL?????

  • Awesome.

  • lol alright your dead your dead and your dead, now wheres the fucking medic, oh your the medic? well you dead too.

  • @colek711 Platoon Leader

  • @fryx37

    In the song they mean Patrol Leader for PL. The song is by "Sounds Of SWC" and it is about Special Forces schools, etc. Visit their website, they were all SF School instructors when they made the songs... Just google "sounds of SWC"

  • @rockon4ever182 Not Platoon Leader, hmmmmm.

  • @skrullion During the Q Course they call the Patrol Leaders PL. That's why at the end they go "Fuckin No-Go. Who's next in charge?" as in "Who's the next Patrol Leader?" ... There's not just random Platoon Leaders waiting to take charge of a platoon if one sucks. And when Officers are training, they're not called Platoon Leaders, because they don't have a Platoon yet. Not all LT's are in charge of Platoons either (some are in S shops, XO's, etc). In training speak PL means Patrol Leader.

  • @rockon4ever182 But at ROTC/OCS training or OBC (especially IOBC), PL typically means just platoon leader. Most of the training is conducted by platoon (as opposed to by company or squad), so whoever is in the PL position (vs squad leader, platoon sergeant, team leader, etc) has the most responsibility and thus, the most heat coming down on him.

  • @Darling137 True, however, since Sounds of SWC (the band) was a group of SF Q-Course instructors who said that they meant Patrol Leader when they said "PL" it's safe to say they're not talking about ROTC/OCS. ;)

  • @rockon4ever182 . I don't disagree or doubt you. Just saying the song lent itself very nicely to those guys too, even if it wasn't the original intent.

  • @Darling137 The term PL lends it self to the monicer of platoon leader, not patrol leader, we don't have patrol leaders in the army.

  • @rockon4ever182 Thank God someone else knows the story, This song was my phase two to the very end.

  • @rockon4ever182 Not saying you're wrong about it applying to Patrol Leaders...

    But in OCS, yes. When officers are training they ARE called Platoon Leader. And yes, it's an offcers school, so there are LOTS and LOTS of officer candidates waiting to take charge of a platoon.

  • @ProtoformX yeah, but the band (Sounds of SWC) who wrote the song were all Special Forces instructors. They have a website (google the name, it'll pop up), so that's why it's Patrol Leader, instead of Platoon Leader. Their songs all related to Q Course training and such.

  • @rockon4ever182

    I hear ya bro. Just saying, it's easy to see why everyone thinks this was written for Platoon Leaders. When I listened to it, literally everything in the song was a flashback to officer training. And for all the E's joking about LosT LT's, that part of the song is probably solid gold for them.

    This song may have been written for Patrol Leaders, but it most definitely applies to Platoon and Patrol Leaders.

  • @rockon4ever182 Heck. The only hint I got that this wasn't aimed at LT's was when they mentioned the Alpha TL. I was like "Wait a sec... That's SL business."

  • @colek711 Platoon Leader

  • females should NOT be able to lead any fuckin one. they are fuckin stupid and worthless

  • @nvoise im guessing your last girlfriend just dumped you. go cry in your beer, my friend.

  • @nvoise what dumb redneck has been logging into my account? retarded.

  • I just graduated Army OCS. I have to say the "OCS" pics they show are from a local national guard OCS. they aren't from ARMY OCS at Ft. Benning, GA

  • That was a lot better than I thought it would be. Really great commentary.

  • I go to OCS this summer...I laughed and laughed...and then wept a little inside.

  • uh ohh 4 clicks?

  • Does anyone know who sings this song or where I can get it?

  • @CCaine220

    try reading the comments, its listed at least twice

  • Funny and entertaining. What the fuck are you bitches whining about who gives a fuck about the specifics. You are the same douchebags who couldn't shut the fuck up and enjoy Hurt Locker.

  • This song is completely true!!!exept I've never seen an officer do this much..

  • Shelter halves at 1:47. Yikes.

  • platoon leader there brilliant.

  • This song is from sounds of swcs, the school for Special forces, not OCS!

  • what does "PL" stand for?

  • platoon leader

  • As its used here, Patrol Leader, dumbass.

  • @MP7A3 Patrol Leader

  • NCO make the Army

  • this is they gayest thing i think ive ever seen in my military career

  • I love it!

  • rubbin one off with white light to a maxim magazine. classic

  • I'm a 2nd LT and I know that any Officers worth is measured in te salt of his NCO's sweat...Thanks Guys! HOOAH!

  • @Cheetolord

    This is why I'm spending time in the NCO Corps before I drop my OCS Packet.

  • @Cheetolord 2nd..LT's need to STFU and just do what an E-6 tells them to do...

  • @BUBBAEFFECTx6 Except when the SSG is a dirtbag , came in to the Army as a SPC, and has been promoted too fast.

  • @Cheetolord Fuckin a SIR!!! Hooah!

  • @Cheetolord shut up

  • Whats the difference between a LT and a E3?...the e3 has already been promoted twice!

  • cant spell LOST without LT

  • Ummm so the video is about ROTC or OCS (weak) and the song (which is funny as Hell) is about Ranger. Epic Fail. NCOs Lead the Way.

  • its rangers lead the way, the first to fight, the first to die. But to each his own i guess

  • And you are/were a Ranger?

  • brother is, hope to follow in his footsteps though

  • to some point you are right i dont even think you served cause you look to young i m a vet of dersrt storm and oif 2 lt s are there to make sure thing s get done but the plt daddy make sure everything done in detail and if you your infantry you go to the field regardless of rank and if your ranger are any spec op you go to the field

  • Woo just got selected for NROTC haha. Gonna be a Marine Infantry Officer.

  • LOL female instructors... yea yall are bad ass, what time of the month was this taken...

  • I hate GD Officer's Hardly ever fine one worth a damn.

  • Yeah, thanks genius. Happy hannukah to you too.

  • yeah i wasnt tryin to be a smartass im jus sayin it does say that

  • WTF? A female instructor in Ranger school? I don't think so. Not sure what kind of gay shit this is supposed to be, but it's NOT Ranger school, sorry.

  • it says OCS in the details

  • Saw that just now thx; kinda odd to have NG OCS (not even the real OCS) trying to ride the coat tails of ranger school.

  • actually you go to regular ocs now in the army regardless if you guard are reserve the guard has a pre ocs class you go to it mostly for rotc bitchs

  • There are 2 kinds of leaders, those who lead and those WHO NEED TO GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY! I'm US Army SMP, I get REAL training and learn what its REALLY LIKE, not just textbook which is 95% wrong most of the time. A true leader had absolute confidence in his team, looks to his Sergeants for tactical advice and even on down to his corporals and privates for personal intel on the area of operations. Most officers focus on what can the team do for me, not the other way around as it should be

  • If he/she is a good officer, the person will worry about the welfare of the team over his or her own welfare. They'll lead from the front too.

  • Reminds me of a quote I read in a military science book... "A good leader doesn't worry about his followers not knowing him, he worries about not knowing the minds of his followers."

  • you learn by doing fuck the book a 20 year plus vet you live and learn

  • Reminds me of Ranger School

  • haha me too man

  • I'm excited totally. I'm a prior service Marine Cpl. I leave for Ft. Benning in 3 days for Army OCS. Mustang baby

  • rofl you got 5 casualties and no MRES/

  • there are good and bad officers and nco's. My pl is a pt beast he can outrun most of the squadron but he is a moron at tactics, my platoon daddy is an e-6 and is to concerned with ass kissing top to goivea damn about us, if it wasn't for our first line we would be screwed.

  • The best Officers I've been around have all been Mustangs... Get an Officer who is prior enlisted and knows how to deal with that side of the house and your off to a good start.

  • he's going to ask an NCO.

  • officers should not go in and out rank nco's. a twenty year-old officer know nothing compared to a thirty year-old nco. they shouldn't out rank an nco cause they went through a leadership course.

  • well they also went to college. THAT is way they are ranked higher.

  • so what does college have to do with the battlefield?

  • You gotta be smart, to lead a group of men into battle and keep as many of them alive as possible. i wouldnt wanting some high school drop- out leading me in combat

  • i said college, not high school

  • yeah nah fuck,

    i said i WOULDNT want a highschool drop out leading me, i WOULD want a college graduate leading me instead

  • i would want somebody with a fucking knowledge of a battlefield and that has led a group of soldiers before.
