In 2014, we had AT in Fort Bragg with a Army Petroleum unit that did NOT follow the tradition of letting their lower ranking personnel eat first. I’m sure most Army units follow tradition, but I can say from experience not all of them do. As for the negative comments labeling me as a POG reservist, I honestly don’t care... I don’t claim to be anything I’m not. I make these videos to inform others.- everyone is entitled to their own opinion and comments. But let’s try to keep this positive. As military members (reservists or active) we’re supposed to maintain a certain level of professionalism. Let’s not forget that when we’re making public comments on behalf of a CZcams account :)
What unit at Bragg was this? I was stationed at Bragg from 2008 til just last year when I got out. I'm still in NC too, decided to stay here. Every unit I was in or ever visited made name sure lower enlisted ate first because they needed more fuel and food first.
Rodney Horsley can’t remember but it was an Army Petroleum unit that trained with 6th ESB Marines at Bragg in summer of 14. Will never forget because they were responsible for bringing the fuel but that never happened for whatever reason so we (6th ESB) improvised and trained with water instead... they did bring the field shower facilities though! Didn’t even know that was a thing but I was sure thankful for those guys :)
Rodney Horsley it happens in every branch, unfortunately. It’s not just an Army thing. Some of the brightest and most dedicated people I’ve worked with were prior Soldiers. I didn’t mean to put down the Army with this one example, that’s my fault for not choosing my words more wisely. Thank you for your comment.
I did two tours on active duty (1996-03) and never really thought about the reserve component. Thanks for opening up that world and letting us get a peek inside. Excellent video.
Thank you Corporal Lee you showed plenty. This video really gave me some peace of mind with enlisting as a reservist. I ship to MCRD SD in two weeks only concern I have now is hoping I don't come out working at a Walmart or McDonald's during my term because I joined to do better things such as serving this country.
jed villanueva thanks man I appreciate your support. Please let me know if you want to see me answer any specific questions in these videos that you might have
Hey Leatherneck, thanks for the memories... Wow, I hated drill weekends... Now that i've been out for 20 years I would love to get back in the Corps... BUT I'm too damn old... If you are in the Corps, never leave the Brotherhood.
hey bud im in the Army Reservist, just thought I'd let you know that in the Army our higher ups lookout for us too, like lower enlisted eating first. That's so crazy, I'm also a petroleum supply specialist.
mcguirej869 we did a joint training exercise with an Army unit and during chow it was first come, first serve for them. I was surprised because in Marine basic training, we're taught that we don't eat until our subordinates eat. Perhaps it varies by unit but I'm glad to hear that is enforced in the Army as well!
Sheldon Lee you might be right about that, because I've only been in two units and its been that way. Anyway if it's okay to ask, where is your unit? I think I've only seen one Marine reserve unit in Los Alamitos, CA.
mcguirej869 Delaware. It's a small unit next to the DE National Guard and Air National Guard. As far as Marine Reserves units go, I know they're not as many in a region since we're the smallest branch.
Thank you for the information. I'm shipping July 17 and I could not find very much information on CZcams pertaining specifically to the reserves. I've subbed. Keep it up!
4th LAR here, love the videos man. You take a lot of shit from active duty but any good SNCO I've met who've been on deployments, gotten CARs, and all that good shit don't see a difference in the title of United States Marine. I had a combat instructor in ITB who reminded everyone who bragged about being active (there were a lot of reservists in the training cycle) that our Secretary of Defense, Ret. Gen James Mattis, started out as a reservist. He also mentioned how he deployed with reservist Marines and trusted them with his life and could depend on them. Semper Fi.
Hey,just found your channel. I'm 15 from arizona and plan on joining the reserves and going straight into duty after graduation. your channel has helped me learn quite a bit in a short time. thanks man.
3051 Stationed in Hawaii right now, on a FAP to base facilities with the SEABEES looking for leadership advice and I think I found it. THANK YOU CPL!!!
other branches do the same in regards to field mess.. Funny story, the whole "lowest rank eats first" thing in the marine corps comes from the old ship life days. The lowest ranks would eat first so they can start washing the cutlery and china...
Pro tip: never record in front of a bright background (you face is blacked out). 2) "fix" the camera. I was getting sea sick in the last shot. Good content.
Never have i let one of my joes eat after me. Plenty of times I’ve given my plate of food to my lower enlisted, and/or have bought food for them out of my own pocket.
I’m doing 0311 Marine Reserves or Active duty 03xx but considering we’re not at war atm I’m leaning heavily toward reserves (and my reserve unit has had some recent Afghan deployments which I may get to go in). How does choosing your mos work for the reserves? I heard you could directly select a mos like 0311 instead of the field 03xx. How does choosing your mos work for the reserves? And what gear do you get from your reserve unit ? Such as plate carrier and backpack Also do you think I’ll have a problem getting 0311 for my reserve unit? I heard there has to be a slot open to get it. My reserve unit in my state is 1st Battalion 24th Marines Infantry Battalion. There’s 3 of the 5 companies in my state ( HQ & Service, Alpha and Charlie are in my state and the weapons and Bravo is in surrounding states). One of my fears of doing 03xx is getting selected to be something other than 11 or 31. 41 doesn’t interest me at all.
I do have a question for you Sheldon. My boyfriend is a marine and he's at drill this weekend. Yes be at drill at 0600 and I was wondering how long drill will last for a day? Like does it last for like 2 hours or 5 hours, how many hours in one day does drill last?
The chow thing isn't just the usmc. I am army and our ncos make sure every soldier eats before them. At least in the infantry but I am sure pogs do it too.
Can you expand a little bit on the EGA distribution to recruits after finishing crucible? We didn't have any of that when I was in. We didn't call it a crucible, we weren't issued EGA, only were considered a Marine after graduation, and we left that same day. No MCT after boot camp. Is this EGA that seems like somewhat large, is it symbolic? Is it wearable? Only EGA I remember was the one that went on our Mickey Mouse covers. And can I get one somewhere? I've posted some videos of Parris Island stuff, check it out.
Ky Mac from my experience? Very strong. Even though we only see each other once a month, I know I can call on the guys I work with for anything if I ever need it, and vice versa. This is a great topic I can bring up in a future video. Thank you for that!
The video was great, but you need to do more research on other branches. Your format was great but your content had some key flaws that im sure other active duty like me and vets will notice. Just like my leaders say dont blow smoke and u wont get smoke. But great video man and keep it up i see u got a future in this.
If you could answer my question? "my job will place me on a leave of absence... How long is the whole process for boot camp. Mos, etc. I'm currently looking to enlist as a reservist for the marines or air force.
I’m thinking about doing the marine reserves or National guard for the army or af Because I want something part time and i heard you only get to leave like 1 weekend or week in the summer or something and i thought that was cool My only question is what’s the difference between the reserves and National guard? Which ones better ? Or has more or a chance of deploying? I wanna stay near home kinda
Sheldon Lee Yeh same here man. I just subscribed to your channel. So when you get 100k Imma reply to this post and say 'Congratz Mate' so Yeh hopefully within less then a year lol
Fernando Atuaia hahah I highly doubt I'll even get close - I'm honestly doing this just as a hobby and to inform people. But thanks man I appreciate the encouragement and I'll def remember you. I really do try my best to reply to everyone, it's what makes doing CZcams worth it for me.
I’m doing 0311 Marine Reserves or Active duty 03xx. How does choosing your mos work for the reserves? I heard you could directly select a field like 0311 instead of 03xx. And do you get gear from your unit?
Rah Corporal. Just wondering how promotions are done when trying to rank up to E-4. I’ll be home in a couple of month to check into my duty station and still kind of unsure. Any information would be great. Thank you.
Okay so when is the last day you have to be at drill and then go into IRR? Is it the dates you went up to MEPS to enlist or the day you get to bootcamp?
Damn, I'm a bulk fuel (Asian) reservist and this video should be familiar, but your unit seems to have at least 90% less fuck fuck games and gourmet chow. It seems like the Marine Corps deluxe. Interesting to see a different experience, keep up the great videos!
Don't mislead the people. Grunt life in the fleet is completely different in every aspect. I did 5 years active at Lejeune in the grunts and it's nothing like a normal job absolutely nothing. I loved it miss it regret leaving. Should have done 20 years.
In 2014, we had AT in Fort Bragg with a Army Petroleum unit that did NOT follow the tradition of letting their lower ranking personnel eat first. I’m sure most Army units follow tradition, but I can say from experience not all of them do.

Thats terrible, I never ran acrossed a unit or had a experience like that. I'm sorry they made the Army look bad, let alone being active duty.
Rodney Horsley it happens in every branch, unfortunately. It’s not just an Army thing. Some of the brightest and most dedicated people I’ve worked with were prior Soldiers. I didn’t mean to put down the Army with this one example, that’s my fault for not choosing my words more wisely. Thank you for your comment.
In my eyes, it doesn't matter if you're active or reserve; because you are still a U.S. Marine. Semper Fi!
I did two tours on active duty (1996-03) and never really thought about the reserve component. Thanks for opening up that world and letting us get a peek inside. Excellent video.

Love all this, literally motivating to follow down the same path
Yo bro, your videos are very underrated man. Your videos helped me a ton. Keep doing these vids and never stop grinding.
jed villanueva thanks man I appreciate your support. Please let me know if you want to see me answer any specific questions in these videos that you might have

The US Army also taught us to ensure that our soldiers are first. As a CPT, I always ate after my soldiers, that was a given.
Leaving first week of December. I'll be doing reserves as well when I'm back here in Arizona.
Damn your HTC looks like a luxury resort compared to mine! Great vid!

Squad leaders eat last. When I’m done your done
Pro tip: never record in front of a bright background (you face is blacked out). 2) "fix" the camera. I was getting sea sick in the last shot. Good content.
Never have i let one of my joes eat after me. Plenty of times I’ve given my plate of food to my lower enlisted, and/or have bought food for them out of my own pocket.

Your food looks a shit tone better then what my boi who's an active marine eats lmfao 😂
MARCO PARRINELLO haha that's because we pay for catering.
I do have a question for you Sheldon. My boyfriend is a marine and he's at drill this weekend. Yes be at drill at 0600 and I was wondering how long drill will last for a day? Like does it last for like 2 hours or 5 hours, how many hours in one day does drill last?
Weekend in the life of a Marine Reservist: Hide in the bathroom and car between "training"
Not meaning to gog but your ripped asf bro 😮 with the sweater on I was like oh yeah he lean but you're both lol
Great video. Super jealous seeing y'all get out before 5pm lol our usual drill day is 0500 to 2000 easily
Michael McDaniel we have days like that too. When we go the field we have 24 hour ops. This was a easy day haha
Gotta have your Marine Corp cookies😂
Hey man, just subscribed, your videos are great. Just wondering, what camera do you use?
The chow thing isn't just the usmc. I am army and our ncos make sure every soldier eats before them. At least in the infantry but I am sure pogs do it too.
Marine grunts,
who do you honor more:
1. Marine pogs or Navy corpsman in the Marine infantry
2. Marine pogs or army grunts
Can you expand a little bit on the EGA distribution to recruits after finishing crucible? We didn't have any of that when I was in. We didn't call it a crucible, we weren't issued EGA, only were considered a Marine after graduation, and we left that same day. No MCT after boot camp.

How strong is the brotherhood in the Marine reserves? Just wondering what your opinion is, great video
Ky Mac from my experience? Very strong. Even though we only see each other once a month, I know I can call on the guys I work with for anything if I ever need it, and vice versa. This is a great topic I can bring up in a future video. Thank you for that!
Ky Mac :)
Is the drill weekend always at the Marine Reserve Unit or someplace else?
The video was great, but you need to do more research on other branches. Your format was great but your content had some key flaws that im sure other active duty like me and vets will notice. Just like my leaders say dont blow smoke and u wont get smoke. But great video man and keep it up i see u got a future in this.
If you could answer my question? "my job will place me on a leave of absence... How long is the whole process for boot camp. Mos, etc. I'm currently looking to enlist as a reservist for the marines or air force.

Mauricio Leon I'm not very knowledgeable in that department but I'll try to get one of those guys in future videos. Thanks for the comment!
I’m thinking about doing the marine reserves or National guard for the army or af
Because I want something part time and i heard you only get to leave like 1 weekend or week in the summer or something and i thought that was cool
My only question is what’s the difference between the reserves and National guard? Which ones better ? Or has more or a chance of deploying?
I wanna stay near home kinda

Joshua thanks man. Try hard in school until then!
Thank you I try my hardest :), I'm gonna do Infantry :)
Saw your comment on nicks channel lol good stuff bro.
Fernando Atuaia thanks man I appreciate the support. I've been following him for the longest time lol
Sheldon Lee Yeh same here man. I just subscribed to your channel. So when you get 100k Imma reply to this post and say 'Congratz Mate' so Yeh hopefully within less then a year lol
Fernando Atuaia hahah I highly doubt I'll even get close - I'm honestly doing this just as a hobby and to inform people. But thanks man I appreciate the encouragement and I'll def remember you. I really do try my best to reply to everyone, it's what makes doing CZcams worth it for me.
Sheldon Lee hahaha hobby or not you'll never know what the future might hold. Good luck man 👍
I’m doing 0311 Marine Reserves or Active duty 03xx. How does choosing your mos work for the reserves? I heard you could directly select a field like 0311 instead of 03xx. And do you get gear from your unit?
Rah Corporal. Just wondering how promotions are done when trying to rank up to E-4. I’ll be home in a couple of month to check into my duty station and still kind of unsure. Any information would be great. Thank you.
It's in the same in the Army. Our leadership always ate last
A bit late, but change and command is for officers, sergeants majors etc. will post and relief.
I met Cpl Peticone in cali this year, they were out there with 7th ESB, and i know mazariegos too, and Alcantara😅
Thank you!
How to be Active reserves.
Is it a pain in the ass to get in?
Thinking national guard or marine reserves
I’m prior active army
hahaha classified stuff as a supply cpl.... the only thing that MIGHT count as "classified" is the whereabouts of all the GORETEX bottoms!
JayKibi that’s what I was saying! 😂 supply in the reserve component none of your shit is classified 😂 even in the fleet it’s not classified
He just doesn't want to show how gay and boring his job is.
HahhaH
Was such a pog thing to do, damn shame
bruh goddamn, yall still replying to this comment and i have had whole life events since posting this when i was in the marines 😂😂😂😂
Nice vid! Keep it up! 👍
JoshAnderson thank you!
Okay so when is the last day you have to be at drill and then go into IRR? Is it the dates you went up to MEPS to enlist or the day you get to bootcamp?
The day you get to boot camp
Damn, I'm a bulk fuel (Asian) reservist and this video should be familiar, but your unit seems to have at least 90% less fuck fuck games and gourmet chow. It seems like the Marine Corps deluxe. Interesting to see a different experience, keep up the great videos!
I'm not even American but was wondering how being a reservist affects your job opportunities in civillian life?
Im active duty stationed in 29 Palms. Kinda wished i did reserves infantry life sucks. Then again I think it was a good choice
Dylan Kurtz #gruntlife
embrace the suck lmao
Dylan Kurtz how come it sucks?
There are pros and cons of both
And the bootest Cpl of the year goesss toooo
Don't mislead the people. Grunt life in the fleet is completely different in every aspect. I did 5 years active at Lejeune in the grunts and it's nothing like a normal job absolutely nothing. I loved it miss it regret leaving. Should have done 20 years.
29 palms grunt here much agreed but I think he was referring to the pog life
@@nicholasaol Oh I thought he was a grunt. Well then yes cake bakers and candle stick makers are 9 to 5ers lol
that long ass fucking last name lmao man even got that size 8 font
I feel like this unit right off kirkwood hwy
Stay motivated devil pup.
Airforse we all eat together
Air Force 😂
On the subject on 4:35 by you saying you have the guys eat before you do, but don't seniority works too?
Damn that last name is going 5th Element.
In the army the privates eat first as well especially in a training environment
4:21 in the video
Y'all aren't the only ones that takes care of the lower ranks Army does it to I've seen it myself
making a reservist series lmao
If I decided to join I'd have the exact same drill locations. You live sarely close dude
what day do you leave your reserve unit to go back home?
Love the song
Classified 😂😂😂😂
at 3 minutes, was his tattoo in comic sans
