Making Marine Security Guards

- Get an exclusive look at how Marines are trained to protect 175 embassies and consulates around the globe.
The mission of Marine Security Guards is to provide protection to mission personnel and prevent compromise of national security information and equipment at designated diplomatic and consular facilities. Marine Security Guards will be prepared to execute plans for the protection of the mission and its personnel as directed by the Chief of Mission (COM) or Principal Officer (PO) through the Regional Security Officer.
Congress expects the Marine Corps to be more forward deployed and to demonstrate that it's a crisis-reaction force.
Marine Security Guards do just that.
"In the wake of Benghazi, I think there's an expectation that Marines and sailors will be there and respond within hours to a threat against our diplomatic corps, U.S. citizens or interests abroad." - CMC Gen. Joseph F. Dunford, Jr. at the Senate Armed Services Committe Testimony | January 28, 2015

I grew up overseas in a city with a US consulate. One of my fondest childhood memories was interacting with the Marine guards who would use their days off to spend time with my boy scout troop. The day they showed us the consulate armory was one of the happiest in my life. It's been over 20 years, but I have never met a finer example of Americans than those Marines. Not only did they make us feel safe, they were also model ambassadors themselves. Sgts Chad and Sgt. Chaz - wherever you are, Semper Fi.
@@jackm9317 he said overseas not overborder lol
J L what a..... chad
@@manuelconey6545 The US will never have a consulate within its own borders. So overseas means a different country.
☝💪🇺🇸
@@ateram Yeah. It doesn't make sense.
I was a Marine Guard for almost 3 years in Saigon before the war 59-61. It makes me proud to see what current Marines are doing--keep it up its your turn now.
Edward StClair hell yeah! Smoking Thai stick, getting drunk, and banging whores. Semper Fi!
Alvidrez 1499 I was at Tan Son Nhut AB 72-73. That Marines time there was before we really got involved. But I’m sure he seen some shit in is his time there. Saigon was a dangerous city for any American service man.
I was born in Vietnam and was fortunate enough to come to America as an orphan during operation baby lift. My son is currently in and wants to be MSG. His first pick will be Vietnam if he has his choice. I am looking forward to going back to Vietnam to see my son serving in the country that I was born. I am so proud of him!
Small internet finding you here sir. You just recently spoke to my platoon in Bravo Company at MCRD San Diego a couple weeks ago. Semper Fi.
what a small world it is. you just talked to my platoon about 3 weeks ago, charlie company platoon 1041. it was a pleasure meeting you and listening to your stories
To all that serve, ever have , ever will.
A profound thank you.
Last night my family and I slept in peace .
God bless Y'all.
Michael B. Porter just swore in last Friday and could not be more proud to serve in the marine corps. god bless !
Manny John did you graduate?
My son is a marine and im so proud of him and all the others too..amen to them..and thank u for there services
@@mannyjohn8570
You still alive?
@@DocIlpalazzo Damn. Lol. Prob on deployment.
Before you want to join to look cool, look up MSG collateral duties, curfews, alcohol restrictions, marine house restrictions, and think about if you want to stand firewatch for 8 hours a day, 6 days a week, 52 weeks a year, and not be able to sleep if you have the overnight shift. I am not saying its horrible, I would still have done it again (prior MSG) but just make sure you look into it because MSG has one of the biggest recruiting programs in the Marine Corps, and they DO straight up lie to you about certain aspects of the program
Just like anything in the corps. For every 1 awesome thing you get to do, there's gonna be 3 terrible things to balance it out. Rah.
+Joseph Lewis you'll change your mind once you stand fire watch all night.
+James Brown Then at the end of your tour, you get to finish up with a fleet grunt unit where you have the rank, but are pretty much useless as a team/squad leader (unless you were FAST).
DarthXavius
What us fire watch?
I have heard that the Marines who "guard" embassies are not allowed to put bullets in their guns. Is that true? What is the point if the guard then? I have also read the book 13 Hours where it says that "local military" is used to patrol the outside of embassies. Is that true everywhere or only in thus instance. We had a cousin die while on duty at the embassy in Belgium. We were told he was a guard but he was army. Later I learned that it is the Marines who guard. So, being Army, he probably had some other job than guard? Just trying to get it all straight in my mind. I respect all branches of the military for the sacrifices they make, especially since it is now all voluntary. Got to tell you tho, my brother was in the Marines, stationed at Yuma. He was a jerk when he went in and a first class jerk when he came out.
I was born in Vietnam and was fortunate enough to come to America as an orphan during operation baby lift. My son is currently in and wants to be MSG. His first pick will be Vietnam if he has his choice. I am looking forward to going back to Vietnam to see my son serving in the country that I was born. I am so proud of him!
I hope well for both you and your son!
How are you two holding up?
I am a former MSG.. Budapest Hungary and Bogata Columbia, with a temporary posting in Beriut Lebanon. This program is definitely one of the Corps best...
Did you choose any of these
This June I take the challenge of becoming a marine, I loss both parents before my 17 birthday and have no one special to keep me here. So I decided to see what kind of a man I will become. Plus I plan on working in law enforcement when I leave the service.
All the best to you!!! Very mature choice! I hope all has worked out well.
East coast or west coast??
This program has its perks. Im completing my third 3 year this month, and it has been an adventure. If you arent a fan of sitting in a box for 8 hours a day, 4-5 days a week then this isn't for you. Ive had the pleasure of serving at Embassies in London and Abidjan, and also at the consulate in Lahore. I enjoyed experiencing new cultures around the world, but the restrictions that come with being Marine, a Security Guard, and living on embassy grounds isn't the most enjoyable, neither is standing in a box for 8 hours. Im grateful for the places I've been able to travel to and experience while working in various countries though, and for the amazing people you meet while working at these embassies/consulates.
That’s great to hear I’m looking into it. Seems like great job
I heard you can more likely endup in marine security forces and not MSG if you try getting that MOS.
@@videogamez3238 what do you mean exactly?
That's the first time I've heard anything like that.
@@Morcol_Naston the contract for MSG is MG and you can either end up in SF guarding nukes and stuff like that in the US or endup Becoming an MSG guarding embassies and stuff but that it’s less likely to become an MSG than it is to become MSF
What are some of the restrictions?
0:42 "Ahhhhgggghhhh"
lol, I had to watch that twice. Thought I was hearing things.
The board dropped me back in 2010. At the time Marine LCpl Little. The Colonel kept me on and I made it out. Worst day of my life thinking I failed the MSG school. My friend back in the fleet was saying, we all thought you couldn't make it. I was hurt so bad. I felt so much pride when they marched me in and let me stay in the program, it was me and another Marine that made it through, by the Grace of God!!! Out of maybe 45. Best day of my life and I turned out one of the best Marines in my detachment!! God Bless the Marines!! May God Bless you Like I was that day!!!
Having served as an MSG in the Africa and the Middle East in the early 70s, I'm glad the training has evolved to meet the current world climate. Semper Fi to my MSG Brothers.
Keith Brownmiller thats two of the spots my brother was at jordan and nigeria.
What’s semper fi
Xassagaming, tis obvious you know nothing of my beloved Corps nor Latin.
Semper Fidelis is Latin for Always Faithful.
Keith Brownmiller oh um very sorry I don’t learn Latin and I wanna be a historian which is why I’m watching these sort of videos I
Thank you for service
My dear cousin Ed Kuhar was an Embassy Guard. Also Grunt in Vietnam at Hue battle and served as a village integrated Marine. Semper Fi..... ED guarding the pearly gates of heaven.
This is my MOS for when I graduate bootcamp and ITB training. Looking forward to all of it
"Getting OC sprayed is an eye opening experience." LOL
Former 0311/MSG. 2004/2013. The Program has a vital purpose. You'll live like a king/Queen in most regions. Your hardships will be the most fun. The bigger detachments are the worst. Enjoy the ride because it's not for ever. Don't hook with other 3 letter groups.
Semper Fi
Go to training in February. Seems like a challenge. Wish me well
4:25 spartan kick sent that marine flying
*oh THERE WE GO* lmfao
The Embassy School used to be at Henderson Hall (Arlington), I rolled thru there when I got stationed at HQMC which used to be in the Naval Annex to the Pentagon up on the hill beside Arlington Cemetery/Henderson Hall back in the day. Their school was very professional and I know they had a very high drop rate. The word was it was the 3rd highest drop rate in The Corps behind only BRC and the Drill Instructor Course. Outstanding Marines.
Awesome! Thanks for the love, as a former MSG it's nice to see the training is still running hardcore!
Any tips for getting selected? What MOSs get selected for this billet? PT score requirements?
Young Recruit: *gets OC sprayed in the eyes*
The Captain who did it: “hehe OC spray go pshhhh”
Those aren't recruits my guy
0:02 a marine holding an AK
MP: THATS ILLEGAL
That's ok. The more weapons variety used by both Marine Infantry AND MSG the better (am pretty sure they have more & better weapons variety than ancient M870, useless M9 & decent M4s. So much more out there to use & abuse, both then & now)....
I served with a guy who washed out of MSG school. They threw him out 3 days from the end with no real reason. After my first five minutes of talking to this guy--I knew why. He was not entirely stable. Good job MSG trainers.
Outstanding! I remember when the new MSG School was built: 1980.
I was assigned at PMO, 5811, memorable days, indeed.

They built a newer school back in 2009 on far side I think.The program has grown a ton since I went through in 2007.
Wow, the weapons, tactics, and gear have drastically improved since the Mid-‘90s.

This is my dream!
I am a civvy Security Officer based in the UK in a large multinational Security Company, and I have to say the Marine Security Guards in this video, look very professional, and the training they get looks top of the range, I wish normal security companies provided the same security training/equipment here in England, but then again the cliental that these marines protect are a bit more high profile then the people I protect, but I will do my best to protect them despite having little to no professional training, this basically works because they have that military approach to things, but I see no reason personally why some of us in the industry should not have that same approach to our work, the best guards are the ones who take their job seriously, are good people and the ones who are not corrupt in a sense, basically people who don't disgrace the uniform in an ideal world.
The only way Security operators will be top notch is if they hire military......for starters.
First of all private security is like minimum wage.
@@rfcdgaf stop being rude
This is why I love marines! Hard trained, hard to kill!
Grew up as a Foreign Service Brat, so it's cool to see the training that these Marines go through to guard the embassies my father was stationed at. Miss seeing Marines around and going to Embasssy Family events at the Marine Houses.
same
Semper Fi brothers and sisters serving our country around the world 😉
Thank you for your service and dedication too protecting our nation.
Stay safe
As an 8 year navy vet, all I gotta say is FUCCK that, I can only imagine the kinds of places you get to stand 12 hour watches.
wait 12 hour watch so why everyoen want this bc the travel
Currently sitting in Post One as I watch this lol
Obtuse One lol, yes they do. It’s super fun if you’re going through during the winter 😂 jk
Obtuse One yeah, that’s basically what it is... Embassy security Gaurds
0:41 i couldnt help but laugh at that noise
Class 2-88 - Havana, Paris and Vienna MSG Detachments. Semper Fidelis!
"When they get OC sprayed in the face, it's definitely an eye-opening experience.."
No, no it's not...
Very blurry experience.
lorderik237 it really shouldn’t be 😂
DANNALS on the thumb tab!!! We went to bootcamp together!!!! OORAH!!!!
Best duty in the Corps. Can it be boring? Yes. Can the shit hit the fan in a matter of seconds? Yes. Can you get jammed up? Yes. Can you get caught up in someone else's BS? Yes. Did I wish it was an A billet? Yes. Should you make the best of what you're dealt? Yes. Will your Gunny be the biggest factor in whether or not you have a good post? Yes. Marines, if you have the opportunity to apply then do so, you will have the best time of your life! 3-85 Lagos, Kampala (TDY) and Rio.
Someone couldn't cut it!
45gringomike45 .
Rio? Jesus man how was those Brazilian women? Lol
What a phenomenal opportunity. If I was a kid in the Marines, I would jump at this unit.
Semper Fidelis, Marines!
MSG from 1994-1997
Belgrade, Yogaslavia
Freetown, Siera Leone
God bless 'em. At one point in my life, I worked as a pickup and delivery carrier and regularly had to go to two Naval bases in Jacksonville FL. At that time, Marines were controlling the gates and I was glad to have them there. So much so, at one base, I was walking through traffic and hollered at them ... "Hey, guys!" They ALL stopped what they were doing and looked at me. I hollered, "Thank you for being here!" They seemed to appreciate it, as they had a difficult job to do.
4:33 “eye opening experience”
Don’t you mean eye closing
my son is shipping out for msg in a couple weeks proud dad here .....
4:51 - I was "in the room" when a fellow Sheriff's Deputy was sprayed with what they used. I was over 20 yards away and it hit hard, I can't imagine what Marines used!
I grew up in Cocoa Beach, Fl. and as a kid in the 60's the mosquitos were so bad we had spray trucks on our streets nightly. As kids we would all run behind them in the spray (yeah I know not smart but hey it was the 60's)...when I went thru the old tear gas "acclimation" in Recon in '74, I just walked right through it. Your body can definitely build up a tolerance to it.
Hello my name is anmol Singh 🇺🇸 respect for USA 🇺🇸 proud to be a American soldiers 🇺🇸
I can't explain the how much I appreciate your business Mr's.
Thank you too everyone who served in the military
1st FAST 1989 here. Back then it was called MCSF before I floated over to FAST. Camp Geiger was our training station back then after ITS. I think FAST had only been around for a little more than a year. Much has changed it seems but the restrictions still apply. We didn't get a nice ceremony; Just our orders. The M9 just became standard service pistols and I think we were the second cycle to train with them. We are the true history of the Corps and it was a huge honor!! My most memorable thing that happened at one of my duty station, MarDet USS Holland, was putting the Captain of the Ship up against the bulkhead, weapon drawn, for failure to produce identification to access the N. missile chamber after he insisted entry and I gave the 3 warnings. Security Alert when off and when the team blew through the hatch sporting M-9s, M-16s and Mossberg 590s, less than 30 seconds later, it was only then we learned it was a surprise drill. That night the Captain asked me if I wanted to be his partner in a game of Spades with other officers. I then became his personal driver/protection during my last month of duty before hitting FAST. Great way to skate.
Did you know a Cpl Beck in FAST?
Not a bad gig. The US Marines are inside . The Armed Private Security Contractors are in the rain and the first line of defence. Look at Benghazi. The Marines pulled out because it was deemed to a hot zone but the poor contractors had to stay. We know how that ended.
I am 12 years old and do mixed martial arts, my coach was a Police officer and taught to me a lot of those control moves with pressure points and redirecting the body.
Mad respect ✊ thank you for your service
0:42 he seems happy lmao
I went through Henderson Hall, Class 1-71, was at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 3/71-7/73. Finest duty The Corps has.
In the fleet now, going to my career planner next week to get more info.
Can you get it on your first enlistment ?
mentally tough school house, especially as a junior marine, but it is entirely worth it to pursue this billet
Awesome young professionals. I have tremendous respect towards them. Its better to train and increase Marines vs having companies like black water (academi) protecting our officers abroad
US Marines protect secrets, cia, and other things at the emabassies.
MSG seems like such a cool special duty assignment, I'll definitely be shooting for that one
I can definitely see myself doing this i do security now but this is next level
I’m goin into army but MP. Still not regretting it love the video
America is too good to go under proud of my country (America) and I wasn't even born here
In the UK American Embassey London , Marines are responsible and armed fully within the embassy building and it's controlled entrance points itself not the perimeter , this is patrolled and is the domain of the Uk Police armed diplomatic protection teams (not sure if the title is 100% correct) but I spoke to one who told me that Marines protect everything within the walls of the building . Anmd any shooting to be done outside in the first instance would be done by UK police not Marines as it is officially outside of American responsibilty i.e the UK soil
you would think with all the training available even right down the street at the High Risk Personnel course, they would update their shooting packages and training to match modern techniques. watching them shoot is like watching old firearms videos from the 80s
If you're an old school MSG Marine you'll remember this: Insert the long extended portion between the body and the upper arm, ensuring the short handle is above the wrist 3 is better than 5!!!
PR-24........🤣!
@@PatrickJDaley yes sir!
Love it! Was friends with a guy who went on to become an MSG in Australia. I was a WSSI. And the joke was, he'd beat up bad guys and throw them in the water. And I'd save the bad guy and bring him back to the Marine who beat him up so we could start over.
Two tours Accra, Ghana, Tokyo, Japan Bujumbura, Burundi, Tokyo Japan. Loved every minute of it. Had a few side trips as well...
How was your tour in Accra Ghana?
Arch Angel Hey! Im planning to start my basic training next year. I plan to be a MSG later on. I got a few questions 1.how many years do i get to serve to be MSG? 2. How long do i stay in the country if i pass? 3.is it true that i can choose a country and addition they choose another country be serving 4 years? 4. Can i even choose a country that i want to go to(if i wanted to be in that country for 4 years in my marine corps contract?) Sorry. Im just very curious. Also i have gf in Thailand...be great to see her ASAP. Thanks you for spending time to answer my questions 😁
The worst part of the program is having to go back to the fleet when it is done. The fleet, at least my MOS, was kind of dull after that. You get kind of spoiled on the program. MSG Class 2-92
Good luck ladies and gents,please be safe and much success in your new assignment...👮🇺🇸👍
Very humbling. They must be guardian angels. Thank you to all US military.
I noticed that they're not training with US State Dept arms now. This is great. When I went through MSG School back in '88, there were some politics involved and we had to train with non-Military issue arms like the SW Mod19 .357, UZI 9mm, Mini-14s, and Remington 870s (although the fleet used 870s at the time as well). We carried these weapons on duty as well.
The presidential guard still uses state department weapons
Thank you sirs.
Always Loyal.
A good friend of mine just left to boot camp, and is going to do this. I’m proud of him.
I leave July 31 for Army basic. 11x.
it makes them faster to adapt their job as country sheriff or highway patrol in the not long future.
Any infantry could do that. This gears them up more for PSD, Private security detail.
An eye opening experience, more like an eye CLOSING experience
Im only watching this to see what my brother went thru 💀
MSG class 5-00 Santo Domingo D.R. and Ankara Turkey. Loved every minute of it. Glad to see young Marines carrying the torch, and keeping American interests safe.
I'm going to look more into this ....
How hard is the board to pass, realistically?
I have been fighting for months to get the orders to MSG school. I have been accepted by MSG and even given a class date. My monitor denies me due to short number in my MOS. What I wouldn't give to become an MSG.
The recruit not making a sound after being OC sprayed for the first time and executing all tasks perfectly is gonna become a monster of a security guard :O All people I know who are embassy security tell me how the OC spray training HURTS
"When they get OC sprayed it's definitely an eye-opening experience"... yeah um no that looked like eye closing experience to me😵😂😂
"If the Army and the Navy ever look on Heaven's scenes, they will find the streets are guarded by UNITED STATES MARINES."
Javier Camacho these marine are being train by the Army
thats some badass training, I which I would of gone MSG marine
Question when the suits are purchased for thier detail as they have to blend in sometimes are they out of pocket for the marine and if so are they reimbursed or provided an allowance similar to uniforms or are they paid from Uncle sams pocket?
Respect from the Australian Army 2nd Commando Regiment 1st Special Operations Command Detachment
The best in the world. Semper fi.
If you think the Marines are the best in the world then you are very much fucking brain dead.. they are VERY good but not the Best.
@@h_oplite they are the best entry level force in the world. Meaning a full branch ,not special forces ect. You can tell by correlating examples in history to the modern marine ,You can use history as an example . The marines are sentinals at embassies, goverment buildings ,white house ,president . Like the Pretorian guard of Rome and other examples . The best trained and most expected to handle a job was used in positions like these all through history like the marines today . Of course the seals are better than marines, of course the spetsnaz are etc but as far as entry level full fledge branches of any military the marines are the best in the world . They are the best full fledged fighting force in the world .
A co-worker of mise was an Embassy guard, he says; Embassy guards ranks are usually overstaffed and make rank slow and if you want to stay in and you don't make rank, you're out. Your first assignment will be in some third world country, the restrictions are anything from curfew to alcohol, plus extra duties seven days a week. To paraphrase Davey Crockett, make sure this is what you want, then go ahead. My friend married a stunning woman from Sri Lanka. BTW.
This is the MOS that I got. It was my first choice too, I ship to MCRD San Diego August 8th 2016. Excited as hell haha
+Joshua Wilson (Juicewa) this is not an mos its a b billet your recruiter fuck you over.
Well my MOS is security forces I made the assumption that this is what that is
nah its not go talk to him or something but whatever good luck hope you dont get a shit job. And security forces is also a b billet i don't think security forces is an mos.
Security Forces is an MOS
well thanks i didn't know about that being a b billet might look into it. Good luck in the future.
Outstanding Marines!!!!!!!!!!
the movie really opened my eyes
This is what I want to do I hope I can get this
Just signed for this mos last Monday;)
my brothers a mar me security guard so it's good to see how they are trained n d
Semper fi
At FLETC I was OC sprayed and successfully subdued a "Subject" Damned good training. Some tax dollars don't go to waste.
No More Wars , for everyone knows how wars come to be now .
I’d be down to do this if it was available to officers.
Wish I could do this
