- HMX-1 is the Presidential support squadron based at
Quantico, Virginia. Secondary missions include administrative
support for Headquarters Marine Corps in and around the
Washington, DC area; administrative and tactical support for the
Marine Corps Combat Development Command; and operational testand evaluation of rotary wing aircraft. Only Marine Corps Officers with strict security clearances may apply to fly with HMX-1.
I’m a C-17 Loadmaster and I’ll tell you, it is an absolute joy to work with this unit. They got their stuff together, and you can tell they love their job.
I had a fellow Marine buddy test for HMX-1 and they accepted him and we all knew he would go and they'd take him. He was one of those super cool and super squared away Marines. Every Marine eventually meets one of those kind of Marines. Ya know, runs a 300pft, high pro/cons, wins every board he goes on and doesnt come off thinking your below him. Thats the kinda Marines that are at HMX1 yuut
This Marine unit performs at the same caliber as the 89th Airlift Wing, and their care of Air Force One. Keep in mind there has not been any accidents due to their combined proficiency.
Oh, the 89th has had a class A mishap. (VC-137B in Japan in the eighties.) And they have run AFI into the mud.
The Marines at the Presidents helicopter is always one of my favorite scenes. Very crisp uniforms and salutes!

Ok now let me hear what the E-5 and below say about the unit and I can form an opinion.
Tom Herdman for real lol they should
@@loganglisson3194 Its cush dude. Super cush. You literally travel everywhere and get the sweet sweet per diem.
It was the most professional unit I was ever assigned to. I was there from 2004-2008 as a Sgt.
I gonna assume there are none.
Future LEO , I was one. See my comment right above yours. The majority of the command is LCpl and below.
It says a lot that the Ospreys are used by the President despite the rocky start
I’ve never seen them fly in it, has it been done?
@@Horizon301. the Marines and the press Corp use the Ospreys
My uncle worked for a subcontractor which made O-rings. There were defects. My uncle refused to clear the faulty components. He was fired, and nothing was changed. He still believes that some of the failures were a result of these faulty O-Rings.
The defects were a sort of hollow or inconsistency in the rubber, invisible to the naked eye but easily seen when held up to a light.
@@Horizon301. No, the president only flies in the Sea Kings and WhiteHawks.
@@Horizon301. Yep. They flew directly over my house in South Texas when Captain Babyfists came down to pet "his" wall right after the insurrection. My condolences to the brave and honorable men who had to protect that treasonous megalomaniac.
My stepfather flew with HMX - 1 from '81 to '85 and flew Reagan quite a bit. Back at that time they had CH - 46s in the fleet. The first time I ever saw an Osprey was Armed Force's Day in Quantico when I was 10 back in '82....it was still an experimental aircraft.
Had a few guys where I was stationed that had been at HMX all great people. I also had to help one of their VH-3 crew chiefs out one day when they stopped at our base. He gave me a cup of coffee from the aircraft and it was the best coffee I've ever had. FLY NAVY!!!
Was stationed at Quantico in the late 70s early 80s. Knew many great Marines who served HMX-1!
Over the years the Presidents may suck but at least the US Marines stay great. :-)
Very well said lol
+Greg B. Yea!
Obama is the best
I love how some people here are saying Obama was the worst when we literally have Trump now. Total disconnect from reality.
@K RC @Vincent Snyder LMAO this Obama comment thread reminds me so much of this fucking gem of a video: m.czcams.com/video/wPMEC2mcorY/video.html
Great guys!
In honor of James Hammond, Skid kid and 60 crewchief. One of the original six who brought the 60 into the squadron. We didn't call them Hawks back then. Great mechanic and friend. Semper Fi Jimbo.
This seems like an awesome job.
I remember when my dad was stationed at quantico it was a great place in fact my dad was in HMX1 hew was a mechanic then became a sniper while under the bush administration
Helo mechanic to sniper...sounds legit.
@@thebronzetoo in fact he then became a submarine captain, and then in fact he became a navy seal
Zamuraii Cobalt don’t forget he was a five star admiral general and killed bin laden with a toothpick
@@zamuraiicobalt896 lol
Ah...that FOD walk...motivated FOD walk...
My dad was HMX-1 crew chief for Nixon got signed post cards he went on to do 30+ years a NADEP retired when the CH-46 retired
Yes sir
Great and a Powerful country.
I’ve seen this fleet several times when the president flies into Morristown.
My husband served in 1974 for sure and apparently more because he did security for Ford.
So where was Gerald Butler? Good Day Everyone!
I was always under the impression the pilots and crew donned the khaki uniforms in place of the traditional jumpsuit due to working in such proximity to the President... must be Hollywood has rotted my brain more than I realized
Only the pilots that are flying the President wear the Blues. During training and other support ops, they were pickle suits like any other pilot.
ImpendingJoker sincerely appreciate the information!
Aye Suh !
Marines actually flying Black Hawk copters... u’d think they’d outfit a UH-1 in Presidential colors
The VH-60N Whitehawk, is used for overseas travel as the VH-3D is too difficult to transport. They have to pretty much remove the whole top part of the helicopter to get it to fit. The Whitehawk is easier as it squats low enough and can be readied faster on the other end. The Navy still uses UH-1Ns called Cotton Tops but these are used for Admirals and other officials. The reason that a Bell has not been used, is because since the first purpose built Executive Transport was built, it has been a Sikorsky helicopter. Sikorsky has been flying the POTUS for 60 years now.
We had Presidential UH-1Ns during Nixon and Ford Years Green Bottom with Gold Stripe and White Tops!
I'm sorry, but what the hell is that song at 2:10?
I've heard it like six years ago, and still haven't located it.
QuickLoad I think it's from Rome total war
Couldnt find it ;-;
QuickLoad its off pirates of the Caribbean i think
QuickLoad vccc
WARZONE GETAWAY ?
Am I missing something, no where do I see a Marine emblems on their uniforms?
Not a single photo or interview of Scotty V??? I'm insulted!
Isn't this the song from that flash game
World of guns, yup!
I thought this was a recent, video, until i saw a much more slimmer, tanned Donald Trump? - Have to say he is looking well.
Hahaha
👍👍👍
Best duty station ever, 2 1/2 years at HMX1, during the Nixon Administration . E 5
I was a pilot there at that time 1/Lt - Captain.
okay, cool... but how do i apply?
🦅🌎⚓️
I didn't know there was a V-22 Marine 1
The V-22 is never Marine One because it never flies the president.
@@blackwatch6649 what's it used for, with that paint color?
Gabriel Vazquez It looked like support personnel and cameramen were exiting the ramp in the video.
Lts at TBS use HMX 1 for field ops and for that we rode in V-22s
@@gabrielvazquez1691 It is still an HMX-1 support aircraft. It's used to move parts and personnel.
Wait so if I'm not an officer I can't apply for hmx-1 ? Im wanting to protect the president either White House or hmx 1 and I hope I can apply for this as a non officer !
Manny J You could always apply to USSS after being discharged. When in doubt, google it.
200% SMUG the Marines in the White House are enlisted.
Kinda dumb, you can see enlisted there.
James Smith Yes. But only Officers fly
The Enlisted Marines are known as "8th & I Marines".
You'll have to enlist into the Marines, demand Infantry MOS guaranteed, get through MCRD boot camp, then Marine Combat Training, then School Of Infantry and along the way be assessed for possible entry into Presidential Security Forces.
It's a long road that many have travelled.
Wait so American Marines do Air Force jobs as well?
The airforce has airforce one the marines have marine one. This is just the marines squadron.
I can't believe they use the V-22 for the president I went on it twice when I was in the Marines and both times had engine trouble lol nope.
Presidents do not fly in Osprey!
I just swore in last month and I'm enlisted any tips for getting this MOS. I know I have to go to college. Any help appreciated.
HMX-1 might have a thread on reddit, or facebook.
You can go there as Enlisted or as an officer.... HMX is composed of many different MOS's. You can even be Administration and still go, just to give you an idea.
@@RoadGlideSTShenanigans I just want to fly. I know I need to be an officer.
@@magicb7600 I used to be a Marine recruiter.... How old are you know?
@@RoadGlideSTShenanigans 18
THE FEW THE PROUD
DJ Rossi Mossi THE BROKEN
Are there any Army Aviators as pilots in HMX1?
You didn't listen to what was said. It's ONLY for Marine Corps pilots. Hence the name of the chopper, Marine One.🤦🏽 When you play again pay attention to what is said.
As is said, HMX-1 is a Marine Corps unit, that said, the Army did at one time have the job of Executive Transport, and when the POTUS was on board it was Army One.
@@ImpendingJoker That is correct, Army-1 was housed at Fort Belvoir and they took turns flying POTUS Eisenhower since 1959. I was the first Crew Chief of the first M1 White Top HUS-1 (H-34) Helicopter We were housed at Quantico VA and had a stand by at Naval Air Station, Anacostia MD!!
Trying to be as charitable as I can. Great Marines, so so President (Obama).
Fuckin Obongo steps out... That's where you stop the video.
Oh my God!!! This job sounds terrifying! One day you think you're going to Minneapolis and then you find out you're going to Kansas City!!!! :O
Pilots 🇺🇸me
Fuck Obumbmer!
How do i open that vidieo full screen? Every time i hover cursor over it shouws some crshit. I think that is because mmy dad is tajik.
Wilfredo arce ortiz
I thought Air Force handles the planes, nuclear middles and sky.... and marine for combat... navy for ships and submarine...army for backup support and war ... and now they’re all mixed into one lmao...
All of the branches use helicopters in some capacity. They’re very valuable when deploying troops or providing close air support.
(Recognizing full well this is the USMC’s official account as I post this) the entirety of USASOC, 82nd ABN, 101st ABN, and a host of other units would be rather surprised to hear that they are a ‘backup’ organization. Different organizations exist for different missions. Let’s say you hypothetically have a rapidly unfolding crisis in the pacific rim, a rapidly deployable expeditionary organization with robust internal air assets like the Marines would be just the ticket. Let’s say you have the real prospect of a high intensity ground conflict in Eastern Europe erupting against a near-peer threat...that mission set has an organization like an Armored Brigade Combat Team from 1st Cavalry Division written all over it. An airfield in a denied enemy held area needs to be seized so the US can rapidly expand a lodgment and flow in follow on forces to expand their combat power in the area? A Brigade of the 82nd ABN is just what the doctor ordered.
@2:45 that wasn't a president...
Get over it ❄️
@@roccop3760 never.
You idiots that deny Obama are the exact same as the radical leftists that say trump isn't their president either.
Amazing unit flying the wrong president
If your speaking of the president they show stepping off the chopper. I agree
@@brianarnold5624 lmao y'all still support trump? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Of course.
God bless Trump 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
DecapitatedApple as a Brit, wouldn’t most of the military support him over Obama due to the great funding he has put forward in revitalising American Might, also, think what you want but the US economy is a great success story, I can bet that most leaders are impressed.
Sorry y’all had to deal with Obama 8 years need to update with trump walk offs lol.
😴😴
For the love of God please dont let women fly this helicopter...
I bet our brave men and women and uniform are much happier to be serving under a President who doesn't hold overt contempt for them. 45 praises our servicemen every chance he gets. And rightfully so.
Remember when Obama made a Marine *hold his umbrella for him like a servant?* Compare that to Trump, the most powerful man in the world, bending down not once but twice, to retrieve a Marine's cap that was blown off by the wind.
Sorry for your low IQ.
OH THE TRUMP PROPAGANDA,I REMEMBER THAT.
The president in civilian clothing should not salute. You cannot salute when you have no cover on your head and you're not in uniform. So I don't know where or when this saluting started but it's dumb and needs to be stopped.
Sounds like a ok job provided Trump isn't on board. With luck he turns left coming off the helicopter and walks his orange head into the tail rotor. Then we'd sadly be stuck with Pence who with any luck would make the same mistake!
hahahaha so fuckin funny another useless bash on trump just because fuck trump. fucking dumb ass
God bless Trump 💯👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯
As a pilot, my Viet Nam experiences leave me thinking all the time. What a slime ball Obama was and what a disgrace as a President. There are no other words.
I thought he was pretty swell.
Better than trump
Cody Burtch I can drink to that
Tim, You are incorrect! At last he did not try to overthrow the government!
Could you crash Trump? You would do the word a huge favour...
