Everything about this guy screams USMC officer route. He's gonna crush it. A hidden gem at the end with that DUI wisdom; keep saving souls, Jake! 🔥
For shooting, he won’t shoot a single live round until he gets to TBS. OCS will be 100% blank rounds.
Again, I would take all of this one step at a time.
What’s most important right now in terms of weapons (at least for OCS) is his ability to disassemble and assemble an M4/M16, ideally in a timely manner. Imagine you are half way cleaning your rifle and the Sergeant Instructor bursts into the squad bay and orders everyone to gear up and head out. The last thing you want is to be stuck at reassembling your rifle.
I would also suggest knowing where Sergeant Instructors like to look/check for dirt on the weapons. Which they will check during inspections.
David Adams is a solid individual. I was his Navy recruiter. I feel like he will do great in anything he does . Wish him the best‼️
Promise you kids the marines isn’t what they advertise. Special forces in general is what most young men aspire for. The line units and grunts are were wash outs get banished to and were dudes try to escape by any means necessary. If you want big boy rules and the ability to control your career better, special forces is the best option officer or enlisted.
Actually the MARINES INFANTRY ARE what you think IT IS...... A man can swim a 100 miles to shore but he still gotta shoot and kill the ENEMY when he gets there.... a SOLDIER CAN pick locks while speaking seven languages...while swimming..... BUT HE STILL GOTTA SHOOT STRAIGHT STAP DEEP....AND PUNCH HARD....AND KILL BAD GUYS WHEN HE/SHE GETS DONE WITH THE MARATHON.....AND NOBODY DOES THE WAR KILLS BETTER THAN MARINES..... CHECK THE METAL OF HONOR SCORE.!!! AND THE SHOOTING SCORE!!! CONCLUSION: WAR IS NOT OVERALL ABOUT SPECIAL SECRET SKILLS LIKE, LOCK PICKING, POLY- LANGUAGES, OR UNDERWATER BASKET WEAVEAING ..... AFTER ALL THESE SKILLS A MILITARY PERSON HAS TO DO WHAT MARINES HAVE BEEEN DOING FOR CENTURIES..... AND HAVE BEEN THE ABSOLUTEL BEST AT .......WITHOUT THE BOOK DEALS......I STILL LOVE SOCOM. A LOT.
Spoken like a guy who was neither a grunt nor SOF.
Obviously not a Marine
Jake always bringing that FIRE!!! Giving real advice that's not about chasing titles. None of this enlisting into SWCC with a college degree. HE GIVES YOU THE ADVICE TO MAKE YOU A CHAMPION FOR LIFE.
BUILDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another good one Jake, hearing someone run a 4:10 mile is wild. Im at a 9:30 a mile right now and trying to shave that down, really inspiring.
I’m out of shape compared to where I’m used to being, and I can still knock out a 6 minute mile without giving 100%. 7 minute mile while barely trying.
Keep after it, my guy. If it doesn’t come, then you’re not doing something right.
4:27 Marine here ! Keep killing it and add speed work + Long runs ! You got this !
Anyone that was like me at 18 wanting to do a seal or eod enlistment. You most likely will not make it. Half the guys I went to basic with had their contracts ripped once we all did medical inprocessing. If you are the % that makes it out from that, you are probably not hard enough and will fail or get dropped in prep. Join and do a regular job, THEN apply to go once you get your teeth chipped. The navy isn't the only way to go either. There are so many options. I wish I had known this, and I listened to people who told me what I am saying now.
“Marine Corps OCS ain’t that hard.”
Thats very relatively speaking bro, and very circumstantial. Some people make it through with no issues and are extremely successful. Make no mistake about it though, most Marine Officers would probably state that OCS at a minimum is at least pretty challenging. Way harder than USMC enlisted boot camp in my opinion.
If you are a natural rock star, then OCS might be easier for you. But for your average guy, it will be challenging and the attrition/drop rate can be quite high.
I’ve seen it as low as 15% and even as high as 50%. And most of the guys who don’t make it, aren’t quitting. Some get injured, some fail academics, some come short on PT, and the common catch all reason is “leadership drops.” Most people who get the boot from OCS are not doing so of their own free choice, and it happens all the time.
The attrition number is dependent on lots of factors. Who the Commanding Officer of OCS is, what Company you are in, who your Platoon Commander is, who your Sergeant Instructors are, and yes, “who your peers are”.
To specify “who your peers are”. Peer evaluations are conducted at OCS. If your peer competition are a bunch of Mustangs (prior enlisted) who have done this shit before, you will have a harder time outperforming then than in comparison to if let’s say your peers are all normal college students.
Sometimes the decision on who gets dropped from OCS can be a lottery unfortunately. Although just about every candidate who gets dropped, has a justified reason, I have seen dudes who in my opinion were way worse, but still make it through the program.
Great comment
Land nav at OCS is pretty simple. I wouldn’t over think it. The most important thing at OCS for land nav is his ability to walk a straight line with of a given azimuth. Unless things have changed, he won’t be plotting major coordinates over long terrain distances.
TBS is a different story. He should be getting taught what’s called “attack points” where he finds an easily identifiable feature/item/location close to his needed grid point. Then you take the azimuth to your end point, which is now much much much closer. If you use attack points, the distance you travel with an azimuth is so much shorter in comparison to using an azimuth from your current location which is much further.
Kind of like how you mentioned.
For land nav, take it one step at a time. I wouldn’t worry about land nav at TBS until you are successfully done with OCS.
Jake what do you think of David goggins? I really am curious on your take on his route to the seal teams
He is KILLING IT
best of luck to him hope there's a follow up!
4.10 mile is wild
he should use that for track lol
An interesting reason why F500 CEOs tend to be USMC enlisted is just that they're likely on the older side and may have joined during the draft era or they did it to pay for college. I highly doubt and haven't yet heard of a single F500 veteran CEO who enlisted with a college degree. If you look at high finance or elite consulting firms, the vast majority of the veteran population is from the Officer Corps.
245lbs running a 4:10 mile is complete cap
Nope TRUTH
I’m 270 and I run 7:32 miles….
Marine OCS and TBS is difficult. Lots of humping with weight, and high PFT scores to compete. I know a guy who failed it and passed Delta selection.
Don’t overlook rucking in your weekly training. For the vast majority of us it has nothing to do with carrying the weight and walking, it has to do more with being 18K into a movement in the jungle and you feel perfectly fine but your feet are baby shit soft and bleeding, dropping toe nails, etc. don’t overlook the simple things, practice how you lace your boots, what socks you wear, what underwear you want, what your TTPs are for soft spots, when your cramps kick in etc. You look fit- typically that’s when we forget that it doesn’t matter how fit we are if the two things were standing on are completely shredded.
Go get em 🤙🏼
Army pdf is full of rucking
Literally did the same thing walked into the navy office was going to do seals became Marine officer instead had a ME degree from UTK
How is it? Is there really no promotions?
Thinking you can shoot before you go into the Marines will probably hurt you. Learn the Marine way. hard to get rid of bad habits. Furthermore, Humping with weight for long distances one can only get good at it by doing it. Remember, we always hump when we are already tired. Don't be cocky. Sports are not the Infantry. Infantry is Infantry. Tired, Hot, Cold, always doing stuff under adverse conditions.
Big suck
Hey, I currently have a BUDS contract. I’m a state ranked wrestler, it’s been my dream since I was a kid to be a SEAL. I leave in abt 5-1/2 months. I was wondering if there’s anyway I could speak to you over call before I leave. You’re a big inspiration of mine.
Email him and tell him this.
Look up his contact info. Should be readily available.
I have it, but CZcams is iffy about posting such info.

Marines ocs… man he might be a 20 year captain or major haha. Seen it happen to many times but he attended and graduated from one of the most competitive schools so he might hit that full bird if he puts in 25 years.
Man I just retired from the Army. I was E for 8 years and O for 13. I started doing the math and I looked at it and even if I had only retired at O3E (I retired O4) I would have a better financial retirement than a SGM. Jake is spot on when he tells dudes to go O if possible.
@@danielrn133yea retirement is vastly different. I’m prior-enlisted Navy and I got out at 21 year old. Immediately enrolled into an Air Force ROTC DET in my college’s area. Some of these guys really don’t know the retirement difference before it’s too late….
I'm pretty sure "up-and-out" is still a policy in the marines. You can't make it past O3 with 10 years as an Officer. You're forced retired.
@@--4606False . I know tons of 0-3 who were able to finish their 20. I actually work for one who told me about his experience. Mind you these people retired 20-40 years ago when wars were just starting .
@@--4606 That's what we used to say. I can't confirm this, but I've only heard promoted or perished.
Running is overrated. Patrolling and humping with weight is what you need to do day in day out. The reality of combat arms is simple. Master the basics. Tactics, land nav, call for fires, 5 paragraph order, shooting skills, managing your squad, team, platoon, offense, defense, movement to contact, combat immediate action drills, actions in the objective, patrolling, etc,etc, etc. Conventional Units are not sexy but they are the ones who win wars. Sorry for the rant. I’m an old very motivated former Marine Grunt who didn’t hate my time in the “Suck”.
Thabk you for your service
No disagreement about mastering the basics, but when the mission calls for a DIVE, JUMP, DEMO, or any other specialty skills/qualifications then SOF is the right tool for the job. When I served I know the amount of specialty training and experience that I received would have never been achievable in a grunt unit. Couple that with DIVE, DEMO, MFF, and hazard duty pay along with hefty re-up bonuses and no one in the DOD is getting as financially compensated as a ground pounder better than SOF Qualified Pax. An E6 in the SEAL Teams makes more than a LT in the Fleet Navy.
I would like to talk about m my options as a prior marine thinking of going back into the service

Hey jake great video as always. Is there a way i could get on a call with you? I have a lot of questions regarding my situation and i know you have a lot of expirience and knowledge on what i want. I emailed you but never got a response.

Hey Jake I’m thinking of joining the navy after high school my goal is to become a seal one day what’s some advice?
Go in the army
Wrestle
@@jakezweigfor the army response, how come?
30000 shooters vs 2500
@@jakezweig wow good point really have me thinking cause I want to be a seal you know it would be a dream come true but at the same time you proved a good point with the shooters but again I can’t control my future so let’s see what happens thanks sir
Jake why is it so hard to find a recruiter that will actually submit an Officer package? They keep hounding ENLIST ENLIST ENLIST!
Wish this guy best of luck in the Marines!
Because they dont get any points for officers
@@jakezweig They should!! Getting someone selected by a competitive military selection committee to commission is more impressive than getting someone to enlist!
If you’re trying to go Marine Corps OCS, then completely skip the enlisted recruiter. (Unless you are trying to enlist first)
You need to contact your local OSO (Officer Selection Officer)
@@samuelnicholas7834Yes but, the Officer recruiter is even encouraging enlistment.
@@--4606
A Marine Corps OSO (Officer Selection Officer) is pushing for enlistment first??
what mos he want?
🙏🏼🇺🇲💯
