Enjoyed this one. The guy with the medals has seen a lot, they dont get medals for anything easy in the UK forces.
Ikr its so hard to get a medal
Here they give deserved medals after decades which is sad. Guys get awards after they're dead or if they served in ww2 or desert storm they'll be in their 60s, 70s, or 80s getting them. Epecially the minority military members.
I have read about that, all brothers in arms. Should have their medals within a couple of months
I served with the Royal Marines in Northern Ireland. Good times 🇬🇧 great lads. 30 years service and at the end I walk away with 5 Medals and I count myself lucky. We british don’t hand out medals.
I prefer that. We hand metals out now for cleaning sh-tter
The training look very hard. Thanks for you service.
KoenigZwert Czeslaw god damn
@@JamesonsTravels You should see the hilarious North Korean generals that don't have room on their uniforms for any more medals.
I know it's an individual's choice when to retire after such a long military career. Maybe they just didn't show or mention anything, but I would have thought that the military would try damn hard to keep someone like him in? I'm sure there's more it, like family and loved ones.
The proud, the few. My hat off to all who have passed out in any force all over the world. You are a warrior.
Range Operator except China and isis and North Korea
I love the brotherhood between the UK and US and the mutual respect. you should check out some of the UK soldiers reacting to american videos!
I have seen a few. What started this direction was watching a Brit comment on USMC boot camp. Everyone has their own style doing it. I enjoy watching, learning and giving honest opinion. Hell, if jack a-s media can comment, I want to give some reality to it from my view point.
@@JamesonsTravels Both USM and RM use different approaches to training. However the outcome is two very similar but very effective forces.
Irish-Americans despise Brits.
Belgium has a similar thing in the Para-Comando regiment training. It is called the golden dagger, handed out to the top recrute of the platoon. It is a badge worn on the uniform. just like the comando badge, but gold colored.
A lot of traditions of the Belgian Comando's are the same as the british. This is because B para-comando unit have their foundation in the UK. They where formed in England at the end of WW2
Commandos were all trained in Scotland at that time so I’d atleast give them a good chunk of the credit haha
Military March drills with no mistakes are such beautiful sights. Ranks right up there with beautiful sunrises over Wyoming mountains.
Ex British Army great series on Royal marines been watching your channel for a while thankyou sir for your service a brother from over the pond 👍
Daniel,
definitely. cannot wait to go back to the UK and Europe again. Covid wreck that but looking forward to Scotland and Ireland.
@@JamesonsTravels Scotland is my favourite place possibly would like to retire there one day stay safe bother all the best
Jamesons Travels You will love Scotland mate, come to Glasgow one day you would love it
@@jordanelder321 Glasgow is fantastic. Even the English love it there!
DavidUKesb that’s where I stay mate it’s paradise as long as you stay in the touristy areas and do go into the schemes
Great series.
My wife's cousin was a US Marine for 4 years, he left and spent the next 13 years in the US Army. I think his brain still thinks he's in the Marine Corp.
True, once a Marine always a Marine. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant.
I’ll tell you it was pretty cool watching these kids transformed from goofballs into young Royal Marines .A little different from the way that you and I were trained but the end result is the same , young warriors that have formed a bond that’ll last a LIFETIME.
Yes. Furthermore if you take into account the other parts (Royal Marine Training seen through the EYES of a US Marine) with first drill by Cpl. "Froggy". I have not expected that these soldiers will get a good shape at all.
Being a King's Badgeman is a huge deal. Some of the best soldiers I've ever met have been recipients, Snipers, SF, MLs.
America we love you from the uk 🇬🇧🇺🇸❤️💪🏻
Kings badge is a badge worn on the left arm, and the few who end up commissioned to officers still wear the badge as an officer
What I can see of his medals. L to R Northern Ireland. UN Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, Golden and diamond jubilee s and Long service.
Could be wrong but video quality on my mobile is a tad small.
So he has been at the pointy end a few times.
Bar on the GSM, probably Northern Iraq '91
@@k9dugcanada202 or Northern Ireland
Not NATO Kosovo, NATO Former Yugoslavia
@@davidhumphreys7035 no its a GSM, its had 2 bars, that time frame one bar will say NI given the unit I'd say the other bar is Northern Iraq
@@k9dugcanada202 i know it's a GSM, i have 1 too, my clasp says Northern Ireland, i could only see one on Mr Booths gong though.
Great videos mate. Straight to the point, no waffle and genuine. Cheers from Australia.
Thank you for your service man
The King's Badge is worn on the left arm below the commando flash. It is a massive honour and treated with the respect it is due. The troop sergeant is a king's man
Hahaha barracks humor is the best ya know. When your far from home and nothing to do but laugh with your bunk mates is the best. Ranks right up there with getting picture's from home of your wife and kids. Love this shit.
I really appreciate your reaction videos and how you don't try to compare and show who is better or what not. Just plain down to earth commentary. Have thought of doing one on the Canadian infantry
Happy V-E Day (a day late). Thank you for this and other great videos! You are ok, for a US MARINE! (I was six years US NAVY! - You know how it is!) ;)
To Jameson's Travels - The Royal Marines are not army they are attached to the Navy hence Royal because it is the King's Navy. the Royal Navy was founded by Alfred the Great in the 10th Century, He had flying pickets on horseback who patrolled the shoreline to watch out for the Vikings invading and to gallop back and warn the armed forces both on sea and land. The Navy is the Senior Service. The Royal Marines were instituted early in the 17th Century during the Anglo Dutch Wars. Their function was twofold to keep discipline on the ships amongst the sailors and to repel boarders by small arms and hand to hand combat. I believe the Marines also boarded enemy ships and fought hand to hand. The sailors manned the cannons etc. but the Marines were the sea soldiers if you like. For historical reasons the army is the British army but the Airforce is the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the Navy is the Royal Navy.
Great video! Thank you for your supportive analysis!
Probably the most emotional ive seen you be, glad you liked it
We'll enjoyed this watched all 4 episode and appreciated all your comments from Stockport Manchester England
Royal Marine Commandos are part of the British Navy mate not the Army, the navy has soldiers, they are Royal Marine Commandos.
Who said they were part of the Army? It's the same in the US... the Marines fall under the Department of the Navy but they are their own branch. It's pretty simple.. Army - soldiers, Air Force - Airmen, Navy - sailors and Marines are Marines.
@El Matadores In a general sense yes, but you definitely wouldn't want to go up to a US Marine and call him a soldier. Soldier is a very general term... they are Marines. I'm not saying it's an insult. It's a point of pride... they earned that Eagle, Globe and Anchor.
@@JeepersCreepers2013 That's a peculiarity of the US Marines though, calling a Royal Marine a soldier isn't an insult.
Brilliant commentary from you sir 👍
Loved the video. Keep the video's coming!
Thank you! Will do!
Only just found your channel. My brother served in the British army to say I'm proud of him is a massive under statement. It is also refreshing to hear another ex vet give a honest account of another country's military. May god go with you and every serving personel.
The UK medals thing is a pain in the arse but you know if someone has a chest full then they've done their bit. We don't have stand alone ribbons for skills and achievements. Every ribbon on the uniform represents a medal. Generally you get a medal for each theatre of operations, but only once. We don't do medals or ribbons for overseas postings or training unless taking part in an active operation. I did nearly 30 years and was in one of the most deployed regiments in the Army for most of that time and have a total of only 10 medals. Two of them are Jubilee medals to celebrate the Queen's golden and diamond anniversaries, one is a long service and good conduct medal, 5 are operational medals and 2 are ACSMs fo accumulated operational service. This is despite having 10 op tours plus 6 years NI home service. That being said getting a medal can be costly as you have to get the whole lot re-mounted at about £7 per medal, plus about the same again for miniatures for Mess Dress. My LSGC cost me over £100 to get the lot mounted!
Your reviews are spot on. Thanks Soldier, former RAF , have 2 Nephews Royal Marine Commandos and another Sub Mariner. All proud to serve our country.
All went well at the finish.
As it should.
Well done guys.
"By Sea, By Land"
Bloody hell. Yesterday I finished binge watching the series. Through it I was thinking 'damn, would love to have watched this with Jameson commenting'.
Today I found he already had. So I've just binge watched the whole bally thing again.
Love these.
I cant wait to join the RMC after my 1 year training session.
Very wise to do the 1 year training.
@@tubefreakmuva yeah I should prepare for anything to happen
@@mcwaff8661 Nowadays mate you have the whole internet to research. I'm sure you will be fine. Or, you could become an orthodontist, get paid 100k a year to tighten kids' braces and have the ability to emigrate anywhere in the world.
@@tubefreakmuva And not get shot at unless you're a really bad Orthodontist.
@@sidrat2009 haha - quite! And the wars nowadays are bullshit.
Great brotherhood between US and UK 👍...great channel
First time I've seen a guy taking a drill period and someone though he needed a mike. Also good demo of how it's impossible to look smart doing drill with an SA-80.
Another great video. Cheers.
Great 4 episodes 💪🏽
Great, video another good one to react to would be Search for Warriors which is about the Australian SAS pre selection course
The open hand salute gets me every time.
Royal Marines Mountain Leaders course training from the 80s, first episode 'fain I would climb' .. well worth a glance. Apols for reposting but Im sure you will love it.
Loved this whole series. Served in the RN myself and one of my best mates was RM, great to see how they differ, but are still so similar XD
Memories of the "Slide for Life" at Parris Island Oct-Dec 73, Plt 395, India Co, 3rd Recruit Bn.
Great reaction 👍
That award, the guy leaving received, was a miniature of the Commando memorial at Spean Bridge in Scotland. The soldiers in that statue look towards the Grey Corries, the mountain range the first ever commandos trained in.
I've been a few times over the years. It's in a beautiful setting and the statue is really impressive.
My grandad was one of the first commandos - took Grenade shrapnel to the head in a raid on a sub pen in a Norwegian fjord. Came back in a fishing boat and ended up deaf in one ear and with a plate in his head.
My uncle was a marine commando and went into the SBS.
good video friend.
Subscribed, thank you for your service brother 🙏🏻
Superb 👍
When I passed out all I got was a silver tankard. But best recruit followed you for a bit. So everyone expected you to be better. I loved my time in.
Really enjoy your videos, please keep them coming. Lots of respect for marines, my first manager was previously a CSM in the Royal Marines, a proper leader and the best manager I have ever had. My fiancée's father was a marine too but he doesn't talk about it, but he knows that despite not serving myself, I have a lot of respect for those that currently and have previously served, especially marines.
Please could you check out the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst documentary, would like to know your thoughts on the British Army officer training programme.
Best regards
There is a good series called officers and gentlemen about the Royal Navy's officer training. Would be interesting to see you to react to that - but great channel and video.
Thanks brother, loving your content and how are you doing?
Good!
Jamesons Travels glad to hear
Liverpool FC "The Reds", my son and I are big Liverpool fans here in the States. We chose Liverpool to cheer for because of the name "The Reds" because we're also Cincinnati "Reds" baseball fans. "Beat Manchester United"
amazing reaction
I watched all four episodes and I was ok with that decision.
As a young man I had the distinct honour to be the “Fue de Jois” (Roughly translated as “Fire of Joy”), Commander for the Lt. Governor of Ontario.
After I commanded a “March Past” for the dignitaries (Sword Salute and all) and then I took Command of the whole Parade so we could fire the 21 Gun Salute.
I don’t think that I was ever more confident, proud, or dialed in, in my entire Life than I was that day. So proud.
Cheers. 🇨🇦
In the royal Irish regiment within the british army 2010 training we had marksman badges for best 4 shooters in platoon and this also came with the added bonus of receiving the new at the time British dmr a 762 nato firing semi auto , tho I was in the running for sharpshooter I preferred are 556 lmg the fn minime and would use that over anything loved it , I never got the sharpshooter badge tho I was close in the running with the rifle
Yep, in Commonwealth militaries you only get a gong for operational service (campaign medal) and long service & good conduct, or gallantry (generally on ops).
Great to see the appreciation from the other side of the pond on the different way we go about things.
The first vid you did pissed me off slightly (truth be told) but I could see your point of view about the guys joking about and the sloppiness of their drills, kit, etc... I think that was like day one week one stuff and the recruits were yet to get their heads screwed on.
Great to see the transformation of the lads coming out of the other side. Well deserved and well respected.
Must of been strange for you to watch seeing that the guys weren’t getting screamed at 24/7 but given the some courtesy and space to dig their own graves. Instead of constantly having the instructors chewing their nuts 24/7.
Interested to hear your views on this..
Saw your 1st video, and it did seem really relaxed, compared to US.
May be a sign of the times, I was only a caddet and we got more of a battering than them, told how to do proper press-up, shouted at.
But at the end of the day The Royal Marines are still up there with the best.
When I went through army basic Ft. Dix 1982. The top graduate got to go to Drill CPL school (2 week school) then come back and help the DI for the next cycle...of course they stop it for my class.
You should get in touch with Chris thrall on CZcams, the guy is an ex marine and about same age
Heard he is a good.
Jamesons Travels I couldn’t recommend Chris Thrall enough, he’s a major inspiration for me wanting to join.
Can you do a video reacting to the 4 commando tests? I’ve heard they are really gruelling and would like to hear your thoughts on them?
I did the all arms commando course as I was already a trained soldier. We did a a 3 week hard beat up in Plymouth. And those of left went to commando training centre Lympstone.. For 6 weeks commando course doing the exact same tests as the Royal marines.. Then we got presented the GREEN BERET.. Then joined my parents unit 29 commando regiment RA
I served in the regular British Army as an infantryman in The Royal Green Jackets. I had the pleasure of working with Royal Marines in Northern Ireland on operations. They were superbly professional and seemed a lot more mature than men from my own unit. The nco's in particular were more intelligent than our nco's.
I had the pleasure of being co-located with 2 RGJ in Ballykelly in 1972 (I was RCT). The RGJ were followed by the WFR - in 73. RGJ were better soldiers in my opinion. Served with Marines and Paras on later tours. Prefer the Marines, good soldiers, not so gung-ho.
Did you kill any of the natives in NI?
We had a combine training week with the US, great lads. Their senior ranks were so much more laid back then ours. I remember when we were demonstrating our different vehicle types and having a go on each different type, talking about comparisons etc. Some of the US lads were smoking off to on side, me a few of my mates went over to have a chat, they offered us a cigarettes which we accepted, then out the blue our RSM turned up screaming at us for smoking on the parade ground, we latter got charged and i ended up doing extra guard duties. The US lads could not believe the RSM reaction. it did put a downer on the whole week.
Nothing happen the US Lads, not their army.
respect!!!!!
Ginge Booth took me through basic training as my section commander, 600 TP. Started training in 1989 if I remember correctly. A top bloke and a top soldier.
Please do a reaction to UK shows (SAS: Who Dares Wins) or (Bad Lads Army) be good to see your insight! 👍🏻
Really enjoyed the vids mate. Just wish you had put the tests in for comparison.
Graduates of the USAF Weapons School recieve a patch that they wear for the rest of their careers. It's pretty similar to the King's Badge.
Former National Guardsman here CalGuard (Hoorah), but I Don't know why people were critical about your comments about Royal Marine Boot Camp. You were VERY Complimentary toward them in my view..."They are Great People", etc..quote end quote. People need to Realize, that the British taught us everything we know about Special Ops Today.....They trained US During WWII. That is where it ALL came from. So, Major Kudos to them! That FAMOUS Log Roll holding thing they do, as well as Navy Seals during their training, actually came from the ScotsGuards During WWII- !!! Major Kudos to them! The British do NOT get enough credit for this. I dunno...having a CZcams channel is kinda like being a "politician"...lolzzz
I'd really recommend watching a tv show called Paras: Men of War. It was a 3 part series about recruits joining the parachute regiment and follows them throughout their training. You get a good mix of what training staff are like in the British army from that show and it was filmed more recently, I think 2017-2018. It might be floating around online somewhere or on Britbox since it aired on ITV. It would make a great video for you, nice to hear your thoughts on their training compared to the Royal Marine Commandos.
US Army has all kinds of wearable badges and tabs on the combat uniform (Airborne, Air Assault, Pathfinder, Combat Action Badge, Combat Infantryman Badge, Expert Infantryman Badge, Ranger Tab, Drill Sergeant badge, etc, not to mention unit patch and deployment patches) Can tell a lot about a soldier from a quick look at his uniform
You should do a reaction on royal marine mathew fords recovery!
Check out Bad Lads Army about a group of modern age kids going through National Service training from the 50s.
Could you also react to NZSAS first among equals documentary aswell?
Can you please do a reaction video to the TV Documentary series. Commando, on the front line(done for ITV in the UK)?
You should watch some footage from the tv show SAS who dares wins, ex special forces soldiers put regular people through SAS selection
For you i watch the Whole advertisement until the end 5 min. Sir!
Thanks Nerdfall. I like the ending good stuff. Stop by today at 1200 est. Hope you are well in Germany.
I had a really good friend who had two rows of ribbons. Earned through Africa, Italy, and Battle of the Bulge. All those major campaigns and only 5 or 6 ribbons.
F%$@ing Wazzz..that sums it up
Been watching a lot of your vids, seen mostly good stuff and enjoyed it. Royal Marine stuff was not a true representation of the course, watching them chat and doing drill not so good, guessing you watched the full episodes, could of shown so much more, like the test week including the 30 miler and so much more. Course includes so much more mate...
Vags precisely, not a true representation here at all
British main medals last 26 years are General service Medal with Northern Ireland bar, Gulf War 91, Bosnia UN and/or NATO, Kosovo, Cyprus UN, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya. Combined Campaign medal was 3 years now 2years(been NI out the mix) and valour medals and a "long service good conduct medal".. the rifle between knees I assume was bayonet fitting, or used for beret dressing if head dress changed.
I hope Mr Jameson reviews the 1985 documentary, "Royal Marines: Behind the Lines". I've no doubt he will find it informative and whilst it's set during the Cold War, the qualities required for this area of operation remain relevant, today.
Can you do a CCT, pararescueman indoc training soon. There's a 5 part video on youtube it's kinda old but good
King George V Visited the Depot, Deal in 1918 to see recruits training.
He was so impressed, that he directed that the senior squad in training should, henceforth, be known as the King`s Squad, and that the best recruit should be awarded a badge with KGV cypher on it, the King`s Badge, which they wear on their left shoulder throughout their career.
Normally King`s Badgemen get accelerated promotion.
Jameson, to your question about earning a special badge you receive during training like the Kings Badge. Being US Army, I guess you can compare it to being the Honor Grad.from Basic, Ranger school etc. However it goes into our file instead of us wearing that title . It also services to help you with promotions and other awards.
Yeah, I was going to say a Ranger tab.
Dude's ears turn bright red when he's stressed. :)
Bad lads army is good to react to mate, give it a look
React to the first medal of honor ever recorded.
6.57 that guys holds a Dutch marine baret in his hand the dark with red with no emblem on it.
On the red part should be a black anchor
Commonwealth forces get medals not award ribbons for passing a course also the drill movement at the end was for fixing bayonets
Never heard of anything like that
8:27 commentator mention the retiring Marine's medals. The green and purple closest to the marines left lapel is a Northern Ireland medal. Pretty dark and dangerous place in the 80s.
@Raj Maj it appears you are right again. My reason was I saw a squaddie with one it said Northern Ireland embossed on the silver bit. I got talking to him, he described it as his Northern Ireland medal and his UN medal next to it.
I wish all boot camps had like college dorms style rooms loo
his first medal left to right n.ireland in the 80s known as the training ground for the brits a part from the falklands nothing else going on falklands 82 until gulf 91 85 to 89 four 6 month tours that's how bissy the brits where
the csm sgt maj old school hats off to him we call it battle hardened in the brit army sgt maj is god do not give a fuck if u r para marine infantry he is god csm is company sgt major like the chanel
Yeah, right! That's just the jobs you've read about. I served for 27 years, leaving in 99 and there was a lot more going on in the world. It's no different today the guys are out and about doing this and that and quite often it goes unreported.
what other wars where going on then I was talking about your every day guy boots on the ground guys nothing else
hugh smith not wars, more counter insurgency operations. For example, I came back from the 1st Gulf war and within 2 weeks I was back out in the world again dealing with another "issue", and so it went on. It is very much the same today. Much of it unreported by the media and rightly so.
I'd recommend you watch the commando on the frontline series, it's a lot better and a bit less "made for tv "
Good to see that even in the UK the Marines got the best uniforms 😊
Just clearing things up the parachute regiment and the royal marines are on par with each other one is airborne the other amphibious healthy rivalry between the two but the rivalry at times can be extremely violent 😂😂 fucking love being British
I may be wrong but I think if you have more than one of a particular medal, you get bars added to the ribbon so the guy who was in 28 years may have earned more than it appears.
Unless you get commendated for a GC, VC etc. You only get one medal for the ops you've been on
Waz loosely translated means Fantastic in RM speak.
