- I feel the need to point out that these latest American army (type) react videos are about as close as it gets to what I'm actually like to watch a video with. I do talk to myself!
This vid is by request. I felt like this was similar to the army video, but Marines was a bit more intense of a bootcamp.

"4 years?? What if you leave??"
*You can't....*
Well you can but you will be sorry and sore. The military does not force people to stay that really don't want to they just discharge them (less than honorable) and wave bye bye.
@@sulaco2122 Oh I see, I'm only 14, so I don't really know everything about the military, lol
C. Sarver Can’t you drop out during boot camp, if you cannot take it? Or is that a later school that I am thinking of?
@@Egilhelmson My understanding now (its been a awhile for me since boot) that if you don't want to stay they will process you out on a less than honorable discharge. I was a week into boot when we were given a class on military law and the instructor said AT THAT POINT were subject to it. Apparently upto that point we could have legally left, the all volunteer military don't have time for folks that don't want to be there...In some services like seal school and rangers you can drop out but you still owe the rest of your enlistment in the regular force.
you can also be discharged early for medical reasons. things like losing limbs, severe nerve damage or certain illnesses
"I'm sure if your career as a Marine doesn't work out, you can still be a model with those abs." -Diane Jennings, 2020
I stand by it!
When my son graduated boot camp he was ripped.
When he graduated from SERE school he was even skinnier, but not as ripped as he was.
He did two combat tours as a MARSOC Raider and I’m very proud of him.
He is now attending an Ivy League school and it was very instrumental in his personal growth and development as a responsible adult.
@@GasPipeJimmy please thank him for his service !
I was a Sergeant in the Marines. I am only speaking from my experience. Sheer body strength can help you win a hand-to-hand fight. There were guys I served with that could have whipped my butt in a fist fight. But combat is not all about hand-to-hand fighting. Give me someone with a few brains and a knack for unit level combat tactics any day. Being a great shot helps, too. If they are good at hand-to-hand, that's just gravy on the potatoes.
@@DianeJennings I have friends who went in the Corps and they all have killer bodies...literally. They have the best abs and arms and legs. They can kill with their little finger. It’s truly amazing.
To quote the famous General John J. Pershing, "The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle"
Great man.

Dude. That telephone call was the most gut-wrenching thing. My 13 year old sister picked up the phone and you can’t ask for anyone else - just read the script.

As a Marine I'd love to take you out to experience this for yourself.
-We absolutely to get issued real guns through the entirety of recruiting training.
-The Marines are 100% separate from the Army.
-I knew a Corpsman who was immune to the CS gas. She just stood in the chamber without a gas mask, her eyes would get red and her nose would run but she could just stand there...
@juscurious, the problem is the Marine Corps since the 80s did it to themselves. We've always had this distinction of being "America's 911 Force" or "A Force in Readiness." The idea was the Navy kept the shipping lanes clear to allow our trade ships to travel unmolested. The Marines were deployed with them to extend that security beyond the shore with no notice; kind of why the Marines were the first in Europe during WWI. The Germans sank a US ship so the Marines went in to tell the Krouts what's what. Fast forward to Vietnam and we became a dominant ground infantry force, stepping further and further away from that naval tradition; the Navy created units like the SEALS to back up what we left behind. Fast forward again to GW1 and the War on Terror, and you see how the Marine Corps kind of just gave up on being the Navy's ground attack dog.
On top of all of that "joint operations" need compatable equipment so the Marines just tag along with whatever junk the Pentagon was pushing, regardless of the infrastructure was required to maintain it.
Marine, a rifle is for killing. A gun is for fun. Just for that to the pit. Bends and thrust begin!
@@geraldjohnson4013, yes, but the distinction is only relevant to those who have experienced it. To someone from a country that doesn't have the regular access to firearms there is no difference between the clip and magazine. Both provide a pew pew with it's boom boom.
@@Crazt the.Marine in me cringes when folks who don't know for example call drill instructors drill sergeants but they don't know. Yes I agree we must be more understanding.
@Theone Wolf, it was terrifying to witness. She just stood in the gas chamber and smiled at everyone...
There is a saying there are no former Marines. Once a Marine, always a Marine.
@Brian Nam actually the saying is that there is no ex-marines. You are never an ex-Marine; once you've earned that title its yours for life. Many Marines refer to themselves as "former Marines (I do this all the time), it just means they are formerly active-duty or Reserve.
I served in the Marines 1981-1985 (peace time). Once a Marine, always a Marine.
@@kc62301 Semper Fi, brother!
@@jeffburnham6611 Serious question: What if the person in question got the Big Chicken Dinner? Does a BCD qualify as an ex-marine, or do they still get the "Former Marine" title due to having successfully made it through boot?
@@RLKmedic0315 I think the title still applies. A Bad Conduct Discharge (BCD or as you called it a 'Big Chicken Dinner') is not the same as a Dishonorable Discharge. Even then, I don't think it matters what you did to earn the discharge, you earned the title for completing basic training not what you've done afterwards.
They learn combat swimming because the marines like to arrive by boat they specialize in landing by water craft
Which is a good thing. I remember training in Cali when the Navy dropped us off 100 meters from shore in the middle of the night. There is still and M16 off the coast because of that.
Just like the Normandy Landings.
It might have something to do with being part of the Navy and working on ships at sea. I pretty sure the word, "Marine" has something to do with water. Surprisingly, there are US Coast Guard members in Afghanistan. Somebody forgot to look at the landscape?
@@jimjungle1397 The US coast Guard is a separate entity. They do no not beach landings.
@@rbiolden Yes I know, it just seemed funny to have US Coast Guard in Afghanistan. It most likely has something to do with being part of Homeland Security though.

Next up: Irish girl goes to marine boot camp for the first time.
I’d pay good money to see that.
I’m sure they could set it up, recruiters love that stuff
@Doug Sawyer No. Editor Diane will be the drill instructor.
Or...Irish Girl watches "Full Metal Jacket."
Likewise so would Marines!
Not to imply anything unladylike
and Chewie would be her mascot doge LoL
They're not called devil dogs for nothing.
Semper Fi
Battle of Bellau Wood, June 1st 1918 - June 26th 1918.
Due to their ferocity and brutality when battling the Imperial German Army, the Germans nicknamed them "Teufel Hunden". They called them "Devil Dogs" because they fought like dogs of war and from that day on it is a name that will forever be apart of their lore
We got the nick name Devil Dogs from the Germans in WW2
Or leather necks
'Do you have to be in the Army first?': Every Marine's head explodes. (and every sailor confirms all those heads are empty)
Indeed!
The Navy calls it "Eight Bells"
The Army calls it "Sixteen Hundred Hours"
The Air Force calls it "Four O'Clock",
and The Marines say "The big hand is on the Twelve, and the little hand is on the Four!"
Lmao
The Corps is the only branch with mandatory book reading, soooooo 🙄
And that's not even counting the Commandants Reading List, some of those books are nuts, like The Singularity by Ray Kurtzwell for higher officers, it's thicker than the Bible.
Fun fact, anyone from any other branch has to go through Marine boot camp. Marines go into other branches, they get to bypass their boot camp. A Marine going into the Air Force has to be a civilian for two years or more first. It you have your crayon jokes going for you. Lol😊
Hi, former USAF officer here. I think it was super observant of you to notice the drill instructor's (DI's) uniforms. They are super crisp. DI's take INSANE amounts of pride in their uniforms because they serve as a walking example of how to wear the uniform properly. Amazingly ironed, creased perfectly, starched appropriately, shoes shined (there's a whole culture around shoe shining in training) boots/uniforms tucked or cinched perfectly. Some are so extreme that shirt pockets are Intentionally sewn shut to keep from flapping open. I've even seen DI's (or TI's in the USAF) unintentionally cause themselves injury (chaffing, friction burns) from their uniforms being so impossibly form fitting. After the training environment ends, the "real" marine corps or other branch of service is more relaxed (you don't see people sewing their pockets shut for example, you might need it). But yeah, really good eye.
They look SHARP
Well said fly boy. Thanks for keepin the sky clear bro.
@VeryPeculiar1 There is a list of afsc's eligible. you can look it up.
@VeryPeculiar1 I glanced at it, basically if you worked on rockets/satellites/telemetry or related you might be able to transfer. They aren't pulling medical people, for example, so I think they're trying to keep it super lean/focused and unbloated. It has some risks. Space Force is real and is permanent, but lets pretend we get someone in the White House who isn't keen on it. They could appoint a head of USSF who could starve it. Otherwise, it be a great way to guarantee you'd essentially never deploy.
Fly boy hahaha oh my havent heard that on a while last time I did was star trek voyager Belana always called Tom a fly boy I love how st put things in the show that was from the military
Where were those guys running when they left the gas house? Anywhere outside!
Glad you watched this, it was a good choice. The Marine Corps is smaller than the army, navy, and air force, but they are traditionally used almost as military "first responders." While all the forces are steeped in tradition, the Marines tend to be almost fanatical about it. This is probably a leading factor in why there are so few women.
If you choose to watch any more of these types of videos, I have a suggestion. Look for Navy SEAL training, known as BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL school. It's like a graduate school of being a bad ass perpetrator.
Hope you have a great week. Stay Safe, Stay Weird, and Keep Smiling! 😎

(That's an Eagle, Globe, & Anchor - the symbol of the Marine Corps.)
LOL, EVERY branch has their own spec forces. I was 7th sp fcs Psyops. Spec teams go in first then the Marines, Army (in no particular order) just depends on who is closest and the most ready at the moment.
The globe of the USMC is the Western hemisphere. The UK Royal Marine have the Eastern Hemisphere. Correct me if I'm wrong.
@@dhuskie4815 during peacetime,,,during wartime, anything goes
Marines? First responders? Do tell.
@@itsahellofaname Tom Clancy wrote a book about the Marines. it details the history, scope of operations, detailed the training and esprit de corps. The Corps has several Marine Expeditionary Units who are Special Operations Capable [SOC]. They are often the first to respond in strength to humanitarian missions [such as Hurricane disaster relief operations, rescue operations] joint exercises with allied nations, and options too numerous to list here.
They conduct a greater range of missions with a smaller footprint. LCACS are large hovercraft that can bring up to 75 tons or personnel, vehicles, and/or cargo to roughly 70% of the world's shoreline. The combined arms philosophy of the Corps is time tested.
Navy provides logistical infrastructure, and every Marine is rated as a rifleman regardless of MOS. The 2 factors that must be maintained are marksmanship and PT scores.
I was a Drill Sergeant many moons ago. You always handle real weapons. They just don't give ammunition at first
Marine boot camp was the hardest and greatest time of my life. I went to boot camp overweight at 220 lbs and unable to do 1 pull up. I was sent to the Physical Conditioning Platoon, where I lost 60 lbs in 1 month and built up my strength, then sent back to regular training. That 1 month was in addition to the regular 3 month training. At the time I hated it, but afterwards I loved it.
what year did you go to bootcamp?
@@mrmanta6581 Jan. '89 San Diego
My grandfather joined the US Marines in 1920’s, and served with “Chesty” in Haiti. My father served in the US Army during the Korea War in 1950-53. I deployed to Afghanistan from 2012-15. National Pride burns deep in the American Psyche no matter what is required in training.
Nice. Chesty was something else.
@@JohnFourtyTwo Our collective knowledge of history is terrible.
I was on a flight a couple years ago and as I was getting off, I looked over at an old black man who had a bunch of WWII badges, etc. I looked a little closer . . . dude was a Tuskegee Airman!! Sitting right next to these two twenty-somethings who had no clue who he was!!
If I were sitting next to him, I'd be pestering him for stories the entire flight!
My father was a Marine, acted like a Marine till the day he died. So proud of him (on the honor guard at Arlington National Cemetery when he served) and highest marksman sharp shooter medal.
Girl, we are proud of him, too!! Gratitude to your father for his service!
Marines are known for the hardest training and the hardest physical fittness standard with the highest drop out rate in training for reason. They are an elite amphibious fighting force. You saw how they did the training... In the 1960's and 70's there were a lot of race issues in the US Military and Congress held hearings on it. One Air Force General, Daniel James Jr, the highest ranking African-American officer at the time said "The Marines don’t have any race problems. They treat everybody like they’re black."
Also when you see them firing they are required to meet full marksmanship standards from both shoulders at 1000 feet, the only fighting force in the world that has that high a standard for non-special forces.
It's not both shoulders, its only one. Also, it's measured in yards: 200, 300, and 500 (and 50p yards is actually 1500 feet.)
@@TheKyfe 200 standing and kneeling, 300 kneeling and prone, 500 prone. Considering in 1976 we did that with iron sights, it's almost cheating now that they use ACOG scopes today.
@@kenoday7562 Yeah, it makes sense though to train with the equipment you're gonna use, though. You would find it ridiculous to qualify with a flintflock musket that had no sights at all, but that's what they used to use. At the same time, it makes sense to make sure Marines can still use thr bare minimum in case of malfunction.
It's not both shoulders in boot camp. In my unit FAST Company we did alot of ambidextrous shooting though, but not in boot camp
And the maximum distance on the range in rifle qualification is 500 meters
@@kenoday7562
They use iron sights for qualification in the Corps, no ACOGs. At least it wasn't in 2001 to 2005 when I was in the Corps or later when I was in the Army we didn't use ACOGs for qual either, but that qual was easier
People who are *nice* to you, aren't interested in teaching you how to come back from Combat ALIVE.
good comment
It was so much fun,
Had a DI that was going through a divorce and 2 others that liked to drink before showing up
all normal to be honest
F. McNamara our senior DI cheated on her husband with a senior from our brother co and was under investigation, it was umm... interesting lol
M 1993 as long as nobody took anything out on the recruits, it could be a good distraction , lol
F. McNamara they definitely did though lmao, we got TRAINED
Fun fact, Bob Ross was the guy in the Airforce who would punish the men when they messed up.
now that would be scary, a calm collected voice giving chastisement is more terrifying than yelling/screaming....
You mean a drill sergeant?
@@gunfuego - No, he'd be yelling. When he retired, he swore he'd never raise his voice again.
My mind is blown. I bet he made them do ‘happy little pushups’
@@gunfuego When did anyone say he'd be calm and collected? Drill sergeants yell. Always.
Come from a family where serving, whether it's the Army, Air Force, Navy or Marines, is important. What I've always known, even if they don't serve in the same branch, the respect is always there.Their rivalries, in jest, can be amusing. Training may be tough, but it helps keep them alive.
Me and my dad love watching the Army Navy Game and we always bet each other He's a former Marine and for myself I was in the Army but ended you blowing out my knee the last two weeks of basic training and got my discharge paper two days before graduation. Never got to service a day of active duty I was going in on a six year hitch
During a cookout with my friends, those of us who served were poking fun at each other as only the military can do and we had a friend who never served chime in and we all looked at him and you could hear a pin drop!
@@rksnj6797 I haven't served. But have always sat back and listened to their rivalary tales. Proud and grateful to all of them.
We who've served tease each other about our respective branches, but wow to those who criticize and have not served!
We had a Marine in the family, but we don't like to talk about it. Actually, he made LTC. Not bad for a jarhead. Most of us do Army, one Coastie, one Navy, couple of Aviators. Goes back a ways. Plains of Abraham, matter of fact.

I would later qualify as MCWIS, but was prevented from going to Scout Swimmer School because of my first knee injury.

As one who was in Marine Corps boot camp in 1974 there have been a number of changes. We didn't have scopes our rifles for the firing range. We didn't get dress blues. We weren't that clean at anytime. Any little puddle and the drill instructors had us rolling in it. Not saying they have it easier but they are lucky.

Happy Monday Diane. Seeing this video makes me think of my eldest brother, who did serve in the Marines. He had to endure the rigors of boot camp in San Diego. I heard that in a movie, Marine boot camp is referred to as "an eight week college for the phony tough, and the crazy brave." My friend Andy's sister did her basic training at Paris Island, South Carolina. Thanks for the upload Diane! You look beautiful as always! Have a great rest of your week and be well and stay safe! ✌️❤️
Marine Corps Boot Camp is 12 weeks. Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard boot camps are 8 weeks. Army is 10 weeks. Parris Island was the only Woman Marine Boot camp prior to this year.
The marines are separate from the army. They are their own branch. I have mad respect for anyone who serves

@@DianeJennings it's not unusual for members of the Military to move between branches.

"do you have to do army before the marines?" - no. the two are entirely separate branches. you might even have to start over, rank-wise, if you transfer from one to the other.
I was in the Army. All i have to say is that anyone who can endure marine boot camp has my full respect. Army boot camp was no joke, but marines is much harder. I was kind of jealous that they get to learn hand to hand combat, we didn't. Marines are bad ass and i would never mess with one, male or female. 💕 Semper Fi Love Y'all!
That's why if you have gone through Marine Boot Camp in the last 8 years before joining the Army you don't need to go to basic training. I know because I did 4 in the Corps and then went Army and just got a ticket to Ft. Gordon and orders not knowing a single thing about the Army and not having uniforms, it was bizzare. A hell of a shift of cultures
Marine here. Worked alongside the 101st and 3rd army in Iraq. They were professional and handled their business. We may talk trash😅 it we all play a role in the big picture.
How does Drill Sgt. Diane sound? "Sooooo today, I thought it would be fun to be exposed to live tear gas." I see the potential.
😬
If you left without permission and no intention of returning, it would be desertion(a criminal offense) and they would send people to look for you and bring you back.
😮 omg
This is a sanitized version of Marine boot camp. Watch the opening scene of "Full Metal Jacket" and it's closer to what I went through. You can watch it right here on CZcams.
You've got that right! I know from first hand experience!
That and Jarhead, yup.

I can guarantee the Corps hasn't gone soft
a family friend who went thru basic once said ' the corps will turn you into a man or kill you trying.'
Hello I just wanted to share this information with you. I enjoy watching you on here. My husband has past away but he went to Boot Camp there in SC. He took me to see Parris Island. He told me it was even harder than they show. He was a State Officer in GA. Just wanted to share. I worked on an Air Force Base.

There was one of those reality shows where a group of ladies went through "boot camp." One girl left the show before the first commercial break. The real recruits have a very good idea of what they have signed up for.
Her expression during the weapons part, priceless! Great vlog.
This might be my favorite video you’ve done. Really brought back so many memories! Best time of my life.
Well golly sargeant - Gomer Pyle USMC. Been there, done that AND got the T-shirt from the lovely garden spot of the Marine Corps, Parris Island, SC. Although it was 43 years ago, and the drill instructors weren't supposed to get "Physical" with us but we had our moments. We didn't get a phone call, instead sent a letter. Them there "guns" are actually called "rifles" as was pounded into all of us when someone mistakenly called one a "Gun". We got ours within a couple of weeks and slept with, ate with and marched with our rifles every day. It was a time in my life that I'll never forget and never regret doing it.
This is my rifle, and this is my gun, one is for shooting, the other for ... (this is a family channel).
I was there 43 years ago also, plt 2019, loved it.
@@averymanning2419 Oorah! 3 Jan-28 Mar 1977, Plt 2037, Fox Co.
@@vernhoke7730 I was exactly one month ahead of you. Fox Co. Went back to visit twice. A lot has changed since we were there. Barracks is the same but everything else is different.
@@averymanning2419 I was a delayed entry, first off I joined at 17 in November '76, second I was guaranteed a 3521 MOS, basic automotive mechanic, and the first opening for that was April 4th or 5th '77. Guess my recruiter didn't want me to hang out in casual platoon for 2 months.
The reason for the tiny percentage of females in the Marine Corps, relative to other branches, is because the Marine Corps is HARD. :)
As a Marine that served from 2000-2008 the hardest thing for me about boot camp was the first 2 weeks & The Crucible. During you might hate your drill instructor but at the end of it all you appreciate them.
@@JohnFourtyTwo true
If he only had thumbs to work the doll's controls, Chewie could be the world's greatest ventriloquist.
All the services are separate -- Marines, Army, Navy, Air Force, etc. You don't have to go through Army to be a Marine, you join that branch and thats typically it. The Marine Corp is often considered the most difficult, highest trained, best fighters cuz they're trained to really be the first on the ground in any conflict. Love them all, but Marines are slick! (They also have the hardest heads and are the most arrogant, too!) 😁
Corps.
I wouldn't call them the "best fighters" or the "highest trained", I think you've got some bias there.
@@mars7612
Who would you call best?
@Alpha Omega
Marines Semper Fi
But if you go through Marine Corps boot camp in the last 8 (as far as I remember) years you do not have to go to Army basic if you join the Army, I know because I went from the Corps to the Army and just got a plane ticket and orders to the base for training, it was bizzare because I knew nothing about the Army.
Good video Diane. There are many similarities between Army and Marines but regardless of what branch of service you are in we are all Brothers in Arms and we look out for each other. I was in the Army so I am somewhat partial but I still have many friends that were in the Marines and a son that was in the Navy. Marines are usually the first in and the last out. Keep up the great work you do by providing these videos and you and Chewy stay safe.
Marine here. My family is pretty much made up of Marines and Paratroopers. We often talk trash, but we all have our roles to play in the big picture. Worked alongside the 101st and 3rd Army when going into Iraq. They were professional and handled their end.
Diane this video was so amazing keep up the good work
That would be fun to watch you and Chewi doing the course giving it your best shot.
Editor Diane is that hot chick at the bar you want to take home, even if she does have an angry edge to her, and that almost makes her more interesting.
But it seems like Camera Diane is that cookie-baking Mrs. Doubtfire that would give you an ear-full of moral chastisement for trying to pick her up.
I can feel Editor Diane's death glare at this comment... I need an adult...
Nah, Editor Diane is the one you want to take home, but Diane is the one you want to make a home with for the rest of your life. 😉
Give me Editor Diane any day!!!
My roommate couldn't understand why I started laughing at the word "discus." I told him he wouldn't understand.

I'm happy to see you doing more than the lists.
I like the lists, but you have so much potential.
Love the script on your cup and your dog!!!! LOL
Would love to see a curious Irish Girl’s reaction to “Top Gun”. That movie recruited more people into the US military than any before it...it also helped me choose to a career in Naval Aviation. I think Tom Cruise is Irish and sequel out soon!
Top Gun was closed door commissioned by WW2 propaganda master Ronald Reagan as president. Little known fact.
My Brother is a Marine, I’m so proud of him. The armed forces love to razz each other who is the best, but they all have my respect. Oorah
Marines are part of the Navy. That's why floors are "decks" , beds are "racks", bathrooms are "heads", etc.
@@JohnFourtyTwo Well, you wouldn't expect a Marine to captain a ship.
@@jtcash2005 Most Marines, no; but I went through tech school (324x0) for 46 weeks with Marine Officers who met the top 2% requirement for the course. And their uniforms had military creases on them every day. We wore USAF fatigues way before they did the patterned look, and you couldn't find a crease on it with a magnifying glass. Basic Training everything was starched and professionally pressed, Tech School was so long you got your 2nd stripe before you graduated. And making rank in the Air Force was generally slower than anyone else. I still have great respect for all the mates in the various branches of the services. If you wanted to sink the ship, ask the Marines, they'd get her done!
Well, you scared me into subscribing! I am terrified of whatever it is that you threatened with this video!
Let me just tell you, when we picked up my brother after he finished basic training he was a completely different person. It was almost like he was a zombie at first, but he soon loosened up after a while. The stories he told me of what he went through were insane
You have to remember they are training these people for potential combat. Combat is stressful! So, they continually subject the recruits to stress so that they learn to deal with it and continue functioning. That's why there is all the yelling and hurrying.
Yay!!! So, glad you did this!!! Semper Fi!!
Afternoon (or late evening, I suppose) Diane, Chewie, and ED! Grab a beer and end my Monday properly now, slainte!
Marine Corps boot camp is tougher and longer than Army and there is a reason for that. The Marines are traditionally the first wave to come in contact with the enemy and engage in hand to hand combat. The Army follows right behind them in a supportive role to help continue to push the enemy back thus supporting the Marines as they engage the enemy.
The famous Movie “An Officer and a Gentleman” (1981) shows how the Marines used to train future US Naval Aviators. Marines are the toughest branch of all 4. Would love to see a “Diane reacts to the “Top Gun” movie” video please?
juscurious You’ve got a good point. I did go through the Aviation Officer Candidate School in 1990, almost a decade after that movie was filmed. It was different than the movie but Louis Gosset Jr.’s portrayal of a USMC Drill Instructor was spot on in capturing the essence of their demanding and nightmare inducing professionalism.
One reason Marines are so proud is because they have to earn the title Marine. The minute you sign the enlistment papers in any other branch you can call yourself a Soldier (Army), a Seaman (Navy) or an Airman (Air Force). Marines only get to call themselves Marines if they pass the crucible and graduate boot camp.
The feeling when you see your Marine for the first time at graduation is indescribable. The pride, the love, the gratitude, etc. Holy crap!
My niece injured herself near the beginning of The Crucible, but kept going and made it successfully to the end. Then they discovered the extent of that injury - she had actually fractured her hip, but didn't let it slow her down. Semper Fi indeed!
I see Diane I click. Sending endless blessings and well wishes from California xo
Aww 🥰 thanks!
She does have some of the best content on you tube and I love her pillows stay weird which is a great. 😀
@@DianeJennings My son 💙 Andrew graduated from Marine Corps boot camp at Parris Island in 2018. The beginning of this video shows the recruit in a gas mask prior to or after their time in the "gas chamber". The Drill Instructors do have crisp uniforms at all times...even in the high levels of heat and humidity in South Carolina. They, I think, use something called Scotch Guard to keep their uniforms dry. You hit the nail on the head about the transformation from boy to man after boot camp. I noticed that when I saw him after graduation...and yes, they do look sharp in their uniforms at graduation. The Marines have the best looking uniforms in our military. Dress Blues are top notch!
Greetings from a proud Mother of a Marine; also a loyal viewer from North Carolina and huge fan of your content!
@@DianeJennings The recruits only ever walk through the silver hatches once; upon their arrival. None of the Drill Instructors walk through them.
As to your learning better when someone is nice to you, that isn't realistic in a combat/war situation when pressure is on and things are chaotic around you. 🙂🙃
No Army first, All services are direct entry. Marines are the smallest group but toughest
Came across this in my feed. Graduated boot camp Jan 24th, 2020 with Hotel Co.
Takes me back to when I was 18. Fresh out of high school and fresh into boot camp. You should really ask Editor Diane if I can have her number, I'm telling ya!
Oh, and Diane, Army stands for Ain't Ready for the Marines Yet.
"those uniforms are slick"
They're just trying to out fab the enemy
JohnFourtyTwo
I think that’s one of the words that has different shades of meaning depending on what side of the Atlantic one is on.
I’ll assume Diane didn’t know that referring to people as slick is considered mildly pejorative over here.

My father served as a Marine in WWII. Saw some scenic places like Tarawa, Saipan, and Tinian. Much respect for anyone who serves, but there is a special place in the afterlife for Marines.
Proud United States Marine and loyal subscriber from Charleston, SC. This has been the most significant part and experience of my life, so I'm very glad you did this reaction video. Thank you very much!! Keep up the great content! Best wishes.
If you want to scare yourself look at seal or ranger boot camps, there is a different level of crazy.
They were wearing mouth guards when you asked what was in their mouths. To prevent injury.
Ahaaa my mother would approve.
Diane Jennings 🤣
No mouth guards in 1976. It was one on one, two on one pugil stick contests. I'm glad to say I got through with all my teeth and actually won both.
Diane another classic reaction! Luckily I only got 6 weeks if boot camp!!! Though 1 year of pilot training made boot camp seem like a picnic.
@@JohnFourtyTwo pretty much sums up my experience in the 90s. The best analogy I can share was to take finals week in college/university with 5 finals in a day that could either pass or fail your program. Now imagine that over 13 months. We'd show at 0330 for the morning brief/stand up at 0400. It would start out with EP of the day pass/fail event, General Knowledge questions pass/fail, and then a 3 period working day which could consist of flying acrobatics, instruments, or formation. Could also go to simulator for dial of death emergencies, or formal class instruction with tests. That's it in a nut shell let alone maintaining composure with instructors that had varying teaching techniques from quiet, possibly positive, or as I experienced one that screamed/yanked my oxygen mask to get my attention. Let alone working through my own personal self imposed stress.
I laugh my ass off when she said. “Four years?, what if you leave?”
WWG1WGA.... I was a Seabee (Navy Construction). Qualified for water self-rescue, firefighting for aircraft and shipboard. After navy boot cam we went to Camp Pendelton in CA for Marine Advanced Military Training.. Qualified with a 45 pistol, Garand, M14, M16, M60 and M Duce 50 cal.. Also 81mm mortars, C4, Claymores, Det Cord, and more... Dismantle and assemble booby traps.... Then directly to Vietnam, Permanent duty station, for my whole enlistment. The Marine corps is easier than it used to be... and I had an Engineering rating
I was going to join the Marines in 1970. My Father (who served in both WWII and Korea) convinced me to pick any service other than the Marines, pointing out what a (at the time) complete jack off I was and how bad of an attitude I was sporting. So, I joined the Navy, being stationed initially as part of the enlisted complement to an afloat Admiral staff. There was a Marine Detachment with this command to basically guard the Admiral. I got to be decent friends with a couple of the “jarheads.” After listening to some of the stories relating to how tough basic training was, I decided picking the Navy was a great choice for me. Back then in the Corps, you could get the shit kicked out of you for screwing up (like failing to achieve a minimum score when qualifying with your firearm). Even in Navy boot camp I got a punch to the gut once by the Company Commander for running my mouth in formation. So to your point, things are most certainly different than they were 50 years ago. I’m not sure if it was better back then, but there was something about knowing you could get your ass kicked (literally) for screwing up. Kind of made you focus on the task at hand. I’m an old man now. My best friend is a retired “Full Bird” from the Corps. We have a good time giving each other shit about the respective branch of the service in which we did our service. No matter, I have the utmost respect for the Marine Corps and if it had ever come down to it, there would have been no better choice than to have a “jarhead” covering your six!
@Sandman Huffmaster
That is a fact. Morale was pretty bad in the 70’s. I had a friend that had 12 years in and was an E-7. He bailed after 12 as he said at the time he couldn’t do the last 8 years because of horrible morale (and other things). It appears with a volunteer service that things have changed for the better.
Now go check out BUD/S training. Makes Marine Bootcamp look like a vacation.
I wonder why...
That repel tower. I still hate heights, I had to get pushed off. Just yelled “thank you!” On the way down.
I look back at this and it brings a sigh of relief. The drill instructor explaining the pugil sticks was my kill hat. But god damn. I’d do it again if I had to.
The marine training is considered
hardest
True sort of its been down graded some in recent times. Boot is just the gate way to sniper or ranger school and that is "hard".
I'd disagree...Army OsuT is longer and harder in my opinion n better training. I did 17n half weeks straight at sand hill in Fort Benning! I think marines r close 2nd. 13 weeks? Not bad....Who you think set the standard . Delaware River Rowers Club team 1776.
@@sly11benal7 Isn't One Station Unit Training (OSUT) a combination of Army basic training and AIT? That being the case, USMC training is still longer since we have to go to 13 weeks of boot camp, then go to the SOI (school of infantry) for either another 9 weeks (for the Infantry Training Battalion, for Marines with an Infantry MOS) or MCT (Marne Combat Training, for all other MOSs) for 5 weeks. Speaking from personal experience, the 5 weeks of MCT was basically an extension of boot camp, except the instructors called you "Devil Dog" instead of "Recruit."
From SOI, a Marine will then go to their MOS training (the USMC's version of AIT,) the length of which differs based upon the MOS. In total; adding boot camp, MCT, and MOS school, I didn't get out of training and attached to my first unit for almost 11 months. And yes, when you reach your MOS school, you can earn WAY more privileges like off-base liberty and being referred to by your rank/name instead of either recruit/devil dog. But, we still did PT 6 days a week, barracks duty, and were considered "students," not "fleet," and were treated as such by the instructors.
Each branch of the military has aspects of training and education which are to be respected and admired, but the USMC by far has the most rigorous INITIAL training. That is the reason you can join any of the other branches of the military after you EAS from the USMC and not have to go through that branch's basic training.
Just FYI we have different branches of the military army, navy, marines, air force, and coast guard. If you transfer between branches you have to start all over and there's a lot of good natured rivalry between them especially army and marines. So to answer your question no you don't start in the army before marines. Great video it's fun to watch someone so far removed watch the hell these mostly kids put themselves through.
@@JohnFourtyTwo yeah until they actually go to space I feel like it's too soon to call them that, they're just force right now.
@@JohnFourtyTwo To infinity, and beyond!
FYI, you don't have to start "all over". Google the "Blue to Green" program, USAF/USN E1-E5 retain ranks automatically switching to the Army; and in the service academies there are even cadets from West Point and Annapolis in the SEALs (it happens). Marines have different requirement and you may have to do basic again, but you'll get your rank back if they need you to keep it for a specific job.
I met a recruit in the Army who previously served in the U.S.M.C. He didn't have to go through Army basic and went straight into A.I.T. I asked him why he left the Corp to join with us, and he stated that he likes the Army better.
@@JohnFourtyTwo I've never understood if the Merchant Marine refers specifically to government controlled sealift ships, or if all sailors on any commercial cargo vessel are in the Merchant Marine.
My niece and her husband both went to boot camp at Parris Island. So proud of them for serving, but glad to have them back home after their enlistment was over.
Really glad you took the time to learn about us. ;) marines rock!
Boot camp I called the washing of crimson and goal! Oorah
The branches of the U.S. military are: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and the newly-created Space Force. There's no hierarchy among them; you don't graduate from one into another (although sometimes someone will leave one branch of the military and join another).
You asked what happens if you leave the Marines before your four years are up. You can be discharged for any number of reasons (medical, criminal, etc.) To leave without being discharged is desertion, a pretty serious crime.
The Marines were originally a force parallel to the navy that specialized in boarding and capturing enemy ships at sea. Marines would travel on navy ships but had their own separate training and command structure. This mission became obsolete when the design of naval ships changed, so the Marines changed their main mission to amphibious landings (charging off a ship into hostile territory is sort of similar to boarding an enemy vessel). Today the Marines are used in many operations, not just amphibious landings.
The video mentioned leathernecks. Marines are called leathernecks because they used to wear leather collars in combat to protect against their throats being cut.
So informative!
Jeff Lichtman Um, not quite correct. The Coast Guard is an armed service, not a military service. There are two other small military services in the US, NOAA Corps and the Merchant Marines. If I recall correctly, they are both officer-only services, but I can be corrected on that one.
Space Force? O man, I was born too late. Edit: or, early, I guess.
Kenneth Lamm the coast guard is a militarized service. They stand in that grey in between area. They still have the UCMJ as well as rank structure and military culture. Even brks are a thing. Though they don’t have many large bases just a lot of stations so they send E4s and above to live on the economy a lot. That means they pay them Basic Allowance Housing to go find a place near by and buy their own food. They are just as much military as the rest of them. NOAA and the Merchant marines are even less so than the coast guard honestly. You should watch the coast guard bootcamp video next though if your going to be watching bootcamp videos though. :-)
@@JohnFourtyTwo Perhaps, but as with the jet pilots of today may be the final manned combat fighters, rockets soon might be piloted from the ground. And the Mission has some major differences, especially as more and more nations toss up more and more space junk.
Have just started enjoying your videos Miss. As a former Marine, this vid brought back many memories!! I don't know if you've looked into it but the Marines have a Silent Drill Team that needs to be seen to believed!! I'm sure they would be in good company if they went to the Edinburgh Tatoo!! As this vid is a year old I don't know how many recommendations you've recieved but I really think you'd be impressed!
My dad always half joked that he loved boot camp because the drill Sargeant was less strict than his mother. She was a tough cookie.
