"To watch the courageous Afghan freedom fighters battle modern arsenals with simple hand-held weapons is an inspiration to those who love freedom. Their courage teaches us a great lesson — that there are things in this world worth defending.” – Ronald Reagan, 21 March 1983
in the video at the :59 seconds. My late fiance's picture was used for that poster. He passed away last year after suffering with PTSD. He was a scout/sniper for 13 years and ended his life before his last deployment. I love you, "Panda" <3
im so proud of my olest brother. he leaves in 16 day to go to the USMC boot camp. he is 19. i will miss him alot. after that he will be gone for 5 years.
A marine who died serving his country went to the pearly gates of heaven and kneeled before god saying ," God i have done some horrible things in my life that i am not proud of and i wont and if you send to hell i wont argue". God stood there a moment and then said to the gatekeeper ,' Let this man in". the gatekeeper gave a puzzled look. God said ," he has already been to hell."
2010 Feb 19 Lance Cpl. Joshua Birchfield 24 was killed by friendly fire when US security contractors high on opium opened fire on a squad of Marines.
The military initially lied and said he died while supporting combat operations in Afghanistan's Helmand province. He actually died in the adjacent Farah province.
Is it just me or does the man at 1:41-1:44 look a lot like Brett Gardner on the Yankess?? Anyways God Bless him and all men and women fighting over there, the swelling pride I feel when I see you guys can not be diminished.

@lesdoyle2000 i can guarantee that when you walk down your street you dont have to turn around every 5 steps to make sure the guys your with havent been blown to bits...i can guarantee that when you walk down the street you dont have to worry about women, men, young boys, even infants plotting to end your life, you dont have to worry about a piece of paper covering a pressure plate set down for you to step on and blow you up.
@lesdoyle2000 so please remind me lesdoyle2000, WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE OR BEEN THROUGH to pass judgement on anyone in this world let alone a UNITED STATES MARINE.
Oorahh!!!! Once a Marine, Always a Marine! "Praise to the Lord my rock, who trains my hands for battle, my fingers for war" -Psalms 144:1 SEMPER FIDELIS!
i hope you weren't serious about that question lol. swimming is a huge part of your training to be a marine. a week out of the 14 go to learning different swim styles and swimming with all your gear.
yeah ive assumed that...i been PTing for a while now to get iron man, i have 23 pullups (widegrip) 132 crunches and a 11: 42 mile and 3 quarters (thats what they do at my pool functions) but ive dropped at least 30 seconds each poolee function. hopefully i can get it down to 8:50ish...but yeah im not gonna quit
@Luigi110067 yeah good shit..i recently switched to wide grip pullups from reverse grip, right now im at 27 reverse grip pullups and 23 wide grips, ive been training with weights on my legs that helps a lot...when do you go to bootcamp?
its not disprespctful its a GREAT video they posted they are fighting for YOU and who cares if its spelt wrong i have family and friends over there fighting for you and u r worried about spelling??????????
Thank you guys for doing you job that other people can't or won't do. And swallowstail11 I lost brothers and sister in 9-11 and over seas. So, if you feel sorry for the ones that started this go join them . Some American you are.
i leave this sunday for Parris Island 3 Bat Kilo company soo whoever is going in this month see u at graduation and maybe fleet and if ur joining go wiht UH for u MOS aka Infintr
i get shipped to Parrsi Island 07/19/2010... but i just got sworn into the DEP today(8/7/09) and have to finish my senior year in high school... my MOS is communications ( im gonna be a combat radio operatior) i got a 63 on my ASVAB. if you want to do communications, i suggest going for a 50 or higher
good luck bro, all I know about marines is that there fucking crazy...and so is the training you HAVE TO WANT IT! but im sure you will make it, let me know how u do/did alright?
I turn 18 next friday an am in the process of joining the USMC now. I am thankful for the marines before me an have the upmost respect for them. Semper Fidelis! Always Faithful
hey im 14 but after college im in hope of joining the USMC but i have a friend who starts week 5 of boot camp tuesday when he gets back ill ask him questions about it and tell you about it if you want.
hey thx for the video, i aswell am joing the marines right outta high school, i 3 more years =). its always been my dream to serve my country since i was about 6 lol. i never really cared what branch i joined aslong as i gatta serve. but i decided to go marines since no1 in my family has been one. my family has been in every other branch though.
Shit dude...same with me,I'm joining after high school and I'm joining the Marines because my family has served in almost every branch but the USMC and USAF. I decided Marines! Semper Fi!
im 15 too (woo!) and im in love i know teens say that a lot.. but i truly am.. my heart belongs to a USMC! thanks for making this vid, he loves it. =]
good video! loved it. ive been training before i sign up. i know all the training in world can never amount to what im about to face in bootcamp but it couldnt hurt! im a mother and a future marine to serve and protect this country! semper fi
what does the media do to something that is supposed to be so great they try their best to tarnish it's reputation but these marines are doing their best everyday so God Bless. I ship out to parris island june 8th for basic training USMC!! can't wait to graduate from there and become a marine wish me luck and pray for me
I am sorry for your loss. My son is a marine serving in Iraq and I am so proud of him. They are true heros and special individuals. My thought and prayers are with you and your family.
Thank you very much. I aspire to be a Marine in the near future. Captin Yurista was a father to one of my close friends, and a Brave and Courageous man and Marine.
Your Son is a Hero to me, and Our Nation. He will return Safe and Proud, and you should also be very Proud to be the father of such an amazing Man
thank you for Serving! and i'm guessing your also a firefighter by your name so stay safe out there brother! "Our worst nightmare is to be haunted by our ghost, knowing that our training let us down"
