TONY, you absolute LIFESAVER. I have been looking for a resource like this for months now. Thank you so much for creating this channel. I am in the DEP and am on track to leave for bootcamp next year. Thanks man, God bless

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

Infantry or support?

17 and will be sent to parris following hs graduation in a few months. thank u for ur service and informative videos, it means a lot to me

I'm worried about my future regret of not joining and I'm 19 as of yesterday. I want to push my limits and know my strength. Theres nothing that exercises your perseverance as becoming a Marine does

It’s worth it. You get a bunk and three meals a day and you a place to sleep and get to travel and shoot a rifle. Maybe you’ll get a chance to ride in one of the big boats. But last of all you get to meet crazy people just like you. And it’s legal being nuts in the Marine Corps.

Scout sniper sounds appealing to me but I don’t know about it in the long run I feel like it is one of the most traumatic, and PTSD, inducing jobs.

I just signed up going to the recruiter tomorrow wish me luck on boot camp I'm gonna need it

This is controlled chaos at MCRD San Diego, California. Ooh-rah!

Great vid for a young guy thinking they can be a Marine. My experience in 1968, the USMC was different than now. My boot was 8 weeks and no crucible. The crotch (USMC) sort of threw us to the dogs. A couple of points you made are very important. It's not for everybody. Boot camp will beat you senseless (I told myself "They can't eat me") You'll despise your DI's until you graduate. Let them scream at you, just do what they say very quickly. You'll miss the DI's when you leave boot camp. Know for certain in boot camp you are not a Marine. At graduation and you receive your EGA, (Eagle Globe Anchor) you are a Marine. Things change then by other Marines having more respect for you. You are officially one of the devil dawgs. You passed the test and are part of the family. The USMC is a very special group of people. Feels good to be special. Best thing I have done for myself and my country. One of the few things I remember to this day is my USMC service number.

25 going for OCS

Semper

Just enlisted! Can’t wait.

I still got a little bit before I can join but when I do I want to go Marine Corps for sure.

So many benefits it looks promising.

To join the marines do you need a green card yes or no

Im currently 16, and for the past 8 months ive really thought about joining the marines. Ive never told anyone about it before because i know my parents wouldnt want me too because my mother tried to join but couldnt so she dosnt like them. At first when i thought about it, i thought id forget about it within a few weeks but 8 mounths later its still on my mind full time every day. Frankly im not sure if im just lost and just looking for something to stick onto but ive really had it in my mind that id love to be a marine. I know its probably the hardest thing id ever do and its not an easy life style. But at my current job i think that everything in life is not gonna be easy and if im gonna enbrace the suck why not makeit something i wanna do. Again ive never told anyone about this. And maybe im just commenting this out because i felt like getting it off my chest. I stumbled on this video and i feel how he said it was like for him. When he knew his parents didnt approve of it and he wasnt sure about himself either.

I’m a gulf war veteran. For the last year I’ve been SC 10% tinnitus & 10% migraines. Today I found out I’ve been granted 70% PTSD & 50% sleep apnea. Combined rating 90%!!!!🎉🎉 happiest day of my life don’t give up fellow veterans.

I have a question and if anyone can give me advise Id appreciate it. The VA through Optum Serve is sending me for a 2nd Vertigo C & P test/exam in a few weeks. The test theyre sending me to is a MRG exam place . Does anyone know what this entails ? I think an MRG is similar to an MRI but Im not sure.

I’m struggling on picking. I have the opportunity to own my dads business with my brother in 5 years. I’ve wanted to be a marine since I was a little kid. I’m 19 now and came to the realization I can do it now. Some days I wanna join and some days it hits me that I like the life I’m living right now, but I’d say 6/10 times I’m thinking I could be a marine and then beg out then go to school to take over the business. I’ve made myself a pros and cons list and I just don’t know what to do. Do you/anybody have any tips on how you came to the realization or mindset you were just gonna join up?

I’ll be in Paris island

Im overwight abt 250 at 5'9 body fat of abt 30 iirc, im tryna join asap, any tips for expiditing weight loss

Don’t go to the marines guys

Excellent insights, clearly explained. Your attitude is admirable!

thank you. lol j needed a dad to set it straight😂❤

That shit was easy TF.

16

I’m go for combat engineering

I have Chronic Tinnitus and one of the secondary chronic medical problems that I have been suffering from is that it causes me too many hard ons were I need to date a females that is always wet and with big nipples sticking out!

For anyone who was a young, dumb, and goofy kid like I was. Really think long and hard about joining. It's a business and YOU are the product. The leadership run it like a corporation. Take it from a Sgt that just left the Infantry. It's NOT what you think it is. Just like a corporation, the Marines is all about cutting cost and that even means your living standards. Down to the water you shower in and the roaches you live with. I wish I could convey to you how serious I am when I say that it's a full on money making scheme off the backs of us. Corporations upcharging the military hundreds of dollars for basic utilities while you're eating undercooked dogs!it at the chow hall. While your naming the roaches on the wall in your room, there's a rich old general cutting deals and making money off of you.

hey mr. marine get a good mic 🦇🐣🐫🦢🦆🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦘🦘🦘🦘🦅🦅🦅🕊🐸🐊🕦🌚🌌‼

Screw this. Don’t join. I did, you’re gonna be a paid thug. Find out who Smedley Butler was and listen to what he said way back.

Join an organization that helps people like Peace Corps or Coast Guard. USMC 1981/82 0321 oorah MF

Joined the marines boot camp was so easy the only hard part was not being able to talk to my family and learning my grandma died months later

If you don't ask questions it's your loss.

In 75 there were no videos telling you what to expect. No one told me anything veterans would just smile and say nothing. My recruiter told me as long as i was physically fit i was fine. My football coach was a retired Marine who worked with me till i left. It was hard but i did it.

I go to Meps the 30th I have a baby girl on the way and want to do what’s best for her and I really want to go and I almost did last year but I keep talking myself out of it and now I’m trying to force myself to do it but I am absolutely scared shitless I have wanted to be a marine as long as I remember but damn I’m scared and right now I don’t know what to do to push myself to it mentally

Semper Fi, 72-76

I am an Army Brother, I survived a Blackhawk crash (non combat Air Ambulance) You made me realize I am probably at 130% for PTSD. I constantly hallucinate people on fire. WARRNING my brothers and sisters. If you have an active claim and you have surgery for a service related injury and file for Temp 100% They will put the two claims together or bundle them . They dont care if you cant eat or pay rent. PLEASE trust me on this.

i am 31 years old now and i have been thinking about joining for the past 4 months. what he says about being scared and regrets definitely settling in. Wasting so much time on school i could have been doing something greater with my life. Thanks all for your service.

Red the best tho

Good stuff

Soon I’ll be there

I have heard that the friends made in the corps are life long friends is this true?

Marine Infantry school is now 14 weeks long. I don't think they'd let me go again, but I'd go to see how it's different. Just don't want to do all that training to sit around for four years.

The newswires have chronicled veterans who were given benefits in error. However some of these veterans now owe the VA Thou$ands in back pay😮

Awsome advice!

haha take note absolutely obsolete learning just as i thought

1968 I got 407 points when 500 was top
