After the guy stood up and got shot, I could feel a really heavy atmosphere where everybody got a reality check. When you join the Army, at some point, you need to accept the fact that you could die.

hahshs underrated comment xD
What why? I like my squad
10 lashes!
Let’s clear this up: This sort of combat exercise IS used in Basic Training / Boot Camp, at least in the Army and Marine Corps. There ARE live rounds being fired over your head as you crawl and navigate across an obstacle course. The tracer rounds are visible so there is no doubt that it is actual gunfire.
Now, at least in my own personal experience in the Army in the 90’s the rounds passing overhead were higher than the movie clip portrayed. You might be able to stand up straight and not get hit, but I never saw anyone attempt to do so. There were also simulated mortars detonating with loud explosions and dirt being thrown all over the place.
So even though you know it is an exercise, it is very realistic and intense when you are in the middle of it. This scene in this film seems unlikely, not because of the live fire, but because these Marines were not in boot camp. Although it was not my branch, I know that these guys would have gone through a lot of intense training prior to ever attending the sniper school. So someone nutting up like that would have been weeded out earlier and never been billeted to that school.
And yes, the overhead machine gun fire should have ceased when the one guy was seen panicking. The instructor overseeing this exercise would have been toast too. You would also need more than one instructor to properly and safely supervise a live fire exercise like this.
Exactly. I remember when I was in basic training and they had live rounds going over us during this exact same crawl, but at night. And they had tracer rounds, so you could see that shit was real. It was the trippiest thing I’ve ever experienced to this day... I felt like I was in some kind of a movie, because those rounds were so goddamn close. And I could fucking hear them whizzing overhead. I didn’t know you could really hear that, I thought that was just some shit they put in movies.
@@cejannuzi, yea, this is Hollywood. There’s no way in hell somebody can get shot in real life. When that guy started freaking out, they would’ve stopped everything. And they sure as shit would not have shot right over the guy’s head as he was freaking out and stood up.

There was an incident similar to this in 1994 at Fort Sill. An M60 machine gun was set up about 8 feet high and had a mechanism to prevent from firing downward onto the recruits. It was a night exercise. The gun jammed and the Sergeant took it off its mount and it went off and killed the private.
I was at Ft Sill for a time...
there was also an incident where a recruit dropped a grenade instead of tossing it and it killed him and the drill instructor.
and that time when someone fired a live artillery round over Ft Sill because they got the azimuth of fire completely wrong...
lol.
I remember that during our AIT there that a man dressed up as an NCO drove up to some new privates in their basic and they had stacked arms to go to chow for lunch, leaving 4 privates posted as guards for the stacked arms. The NCO "ordered" the privates to load the arms into his cut-v so he could take them back to the armory. Guy disappeared with an entire battery's worth of M-16's and those privates went to prison. Now, I know that privates get told all kinds of bs stories to mess with their minds in Basic and AIT and other training schools but we just happened to be marching by when there were about a half dozen MP vehicles and about 20 MP just going apeshit with those 4 privates in handcuffs sitting on the curb and the Drill instructors that left the privates unattended in cuffs too.
@@jefferyrbrown why did the privates go to prison? After all how are they supposed to know that he wasn't just another officer
@@Bigcheese1334
Because you are not supposed to surrender your weapon to anyone that is not in your direct chain of command. And since it's, literally, one of the very first things they tell you, they couldn't claim they didn't know
@@jefferyrbrown oh I see
when stationed at pendelton there were some mortar sections who fired afew duds that could have been a really bad day. luckily noone was injured. in 29 palms one sgt collapsed a law trainer on his leg and the trainer round went off through his leg... another artillery guy in afghanistan, he had a round chambered and his weapon off safe and left his rifle around. his sgt picked it up aggressively and the sling somehow hit the trigger and the rifle went and he shot himself, not sure if he survived... these things happen all the time unfortinatly but 98% of the time the training is rock solid but its not without its risks...
3:12 was the only actual killing in the movie and it was from there own troops

Hmm so this is what Jarhead, in morse code sounds like.
first of all , the commanding officer would be court-martialed for failing to see a trainee under stress. Second of all they do actually do this to get you used to fire over your head but its never anything this remotely close as to put trainees in danger.
you must be airforce
I can't say what it was like in the early '90s, but yeah, when I did something like this two years ago it wasn't nearly as close. We all kept our heads down just fine, but the gun was a few feet higher, you'd probably have to stand up all the way to get your melon popped.
in '97 they DID do this but it was from a elevated position. why? in case someone had a medical emergency, also the firing position was 20m back and the drill sgt was walking around upright yelling at us. This is pure hollywood
My experience in the military including going to a training drill where we were told "One week ago, somebody screwed up on this course and got killed". I don't think it was a lie. The people training us were combat veterans, not actors. I think there is actually some breakage in combat training (i.e. some % of trainees that are expected to die or be gravely injured). During my course, one of the trainees was injured badly enough to get a discharge. (Back injury). Wasn't his fault - his buddy screwed up. The injured man got discharged, the dumb buddy didn't.
That's what I thought. Even in seal buds, they do not fire so close to the guys. This is unrealistic or a portrayal of an old time when this used to happen. If any exercise were designed like this, it would be counterproductive. The point is to weed out the weak. Not get them killed. Jesus.

I went through this training when I was in the Army. They used blanks and fired high enough over the trainee's head where even if they stood up and the rounds were live, they wouldn't get shot.
I didnt notice a befa on that weapon so im guessing they were firing "live " rounds
Former Hospital Corpsman.. this rarely happened that I can remember at least in the 80's to 2006, I did have a patient that broke his neck, stabilized him and sent him off, mostly foot injuries and heat exhaustion.
Jamie fox plays a perfect role of a Marine Staff SGT in the grunts. Well done.
To a tee.
Lol, I have never heard any Marine refer to the Marine Corps Infantry as "the grunts"
The worst part about that shot is it was the LAST ROUND of that burst. Had he got up a split second later, the SGT would have stopped the firing.
We did the night infiltration training with 2 M-60's filling the night sky with live red tracer rounds over our heads-except the Army made sure both were elevated at least 40 feet over the course. They also played 'Ride Of The Valkries' over the PA while we did it.

@@RealParadoxed not the point.
I was a Canadian Reservist in the era known as the "dark 90's". We had almost zero training budget, and my QL2 and 3 were an absolute joke. The instructors were friends with certain recruits before the course even started, and REALLY played favourites. Certain candidates were never yelled at, never got fire piquet when in barracks, always got the sweetheart shifts when we had to do sentry duty in the field, and were treated much more leniently than the rest of us. We had one instructor actually start a relationship with a female candidate at least 10 years younger than he was WHILE ON COURSE. Of course it got swept under the rug, and any attempt to report the fraternization got quashed immediately by the course warrant officer. I hung around for a few years hoping to see improvement in some way, but when it didn't happen, I lost interest and eventually got out. There is a reason it's referred to as "the dark 90's" by those of us that were there.
Weren't their friends if they were going easy on them, there's a reason the trainings hard and they beast you

It happens, couple years ago there was a guy from one of our sister units (others units that we bump into regularly during training and courses etc) who was on a live fire training course doing CQB kind of stuff, apparently what happened was after doing a run in the killhouse the were unloading their weapons and 1 guy didnt' do the drills properly and discharged a round into the back of another guy, he died a few days later. The army mourned and investigated not sure what came of it but it was quickly swept under the rug and listed as a training accident. In short happens all the time, guys get tired or are lazy and make mistakes and in a combat environment that can prove fatal and is the reason why they are so intense when it comes to training, they want it realistic and for the guys to be stressed so they learn how to do the job in the worst conditions when it counts.2

One fact, during basic training, particularly mud scene in life military they shoot with blank bullets, so none gets accidentally killed. There is more chance dying from catching cold, rather than getting a bullet.
The way the scene just goes completely quiet after the cease-fire, and all you hear is the rain is so beautiful
man the anger he had when he yelled "stupid fuck", I felt that.
Helpful tips.
1: Always have 2 drill sergeants
2: aim higher to where you can stand up. It still is immersive in the actual head of combat.
3: If one guy seems to panic and be afraid, stop the exercise immediately, they are most likely the man who died in this scene.
The reasons are because jesus christ so much paperwork needs to be filled, The gunner will have a mental breakdown, and everyone will feel like dogshit.

Any overhead fire exercise has (had) more than enough room for someone to stand up underneath. This guy firing an M60E3 (which were phased out in 1996, but would still have been in use for this) manually with no depression stakes and not in any sort of elevated position is absurd. Machinegun fire (any gunfire, honestly) sounds VERY different when pointed at you than when you are firing it, so it does have training value. I don't know how things are anymore, but when I was a machinegunner at Lejeune, there was a live-fire range called L-1011 that was hands-down the most dangerous range in the Corps. It was an overhead fire range. 0331s had no problems there, but when non-experts ran overhead fire at night, especially with 249s, people could get stitched up. It was one of the reasons that 0331 NCOs went to Advanced Machinegun Leaders Course and would occasionally get detached out to teach non-infantry units how to properly employ their machineguns. Honestly have no idea how that works now, but it certainly must be much, much better. I got out in 2003 and there has been a ton of combat since then to inform correct training.
I will never forget the first time I heard a round pass by. I remember thinking wow you can really hear it I thought it would sound different than it did

So in Army basic in 2015, they are firing a bit over you, probably 10-15 feet, but I swear it feels like those fucking rounds are whizzing by your head. You climb out of that trench and see the muzzle flash and think "Oh fuck, I might die." You know you won't, obviously cause it's basic training and probably the most insignificant thing you'll do in the Army, but fuck it feels real.

You say you have no clue, but you're completely married to this idiotic meme.
One of my favorite things about this film was seeing Marine Corp training that takes place outside Marine Corp Boot camp. I've never been a Marine, but Staff Sergeants are addressed as Staff Sergeant, not Sir unless a recruit is addressing them in basic training. Yes Sir, No Sir and Aye Sir, is for boot camp only, unless you are addressing a commissioned officer. There might be some exceptions that I'm not aware of though?
no. NCO's are addressed by rank. CO's are always addressed as Sir. NCO's would train that out of you quickly.
2:15, oh the memories!
Truly Man is the silliest of creatures
Unrealistic. Like they stole this scene from Star Ship troopers. We had this training... machine guns were like on the fucking towers and at least 10 meters off the ground. You could walk there safely.
We didn't use live rounds for ours.
@@joshuamacal3641 did you see the tracers? We did that at night and there were a shit load of tracers. It was beautiful. I even laid on my back to look at the burning sky.
@@wckvn honestly man, I can't remember. Nothing stood out enough for me like that to remember after 15 years.
I do remember arty shelling over our training area and hearing the whistle of mortar rounds dropping at the same time every single night.
@@joshuamacal3641 For me it was pretty colorful... We were liked up in the trench, that was ankle-deep full of water... An entire company. We were lined up in 4-5 lines.. every 30-60 seconds drill sergeants would push a row of soldiers up and we would crawl for like 100 meters... in the send. It was like a movie experience. I remember that after the crawl my riffle was full of sand. I really don't know how the boys did that in WW1/WW2/Korean/Vietnam wars. I bet if all of us had to jump into the battle after the crawl none of our rifles would function.
@@joshuamacal3641 it's only been less than 13 years for me... and yes, there were tracer rounds fired from an M249 in boot camp.
So I went to basic in 2018 and yes they actually used live tracer rounds overhead. how do I know this? Because during the night infiltration course or "nik at night" you typically have 2 or 3 towers way over your head shooting 249s or 240s as fast as possible and you have those lazer beam like lines overhead as you climb over the trench they have, making sure that even if you were to stand up the live rounds aren't going to dome you. Anyone who says the army or marines for that matter don't do this training either never had it during their training cycle or they subscribe to the same gun fudd boomer logic that old folks use to say that the 1911 is the best pistol in the world and that you don't need an AR15 because a springfield M1A or Remington M700 in .308 or 30-06 is all you need.
Must be cool to watch the bloopers of the really serious parts of this movie.
Underrated performance by Foxx.
3:05 its stupid. they never heard blind bullets?
I’m assuming you mean blanks and it’s not as effective a training tool. All soldiers and Marines go through this kind of training in basic but the safety measures and mitigations put in place are much more effective than this movie shows. This does not happen in today’s basic trainings
@@Tejay911 isnt this movie based in the 70s?
