"Why not me?" 247th MC Birthday Luncheon GoH Speech - Desert Hot Springs MCJROTC - 11.10 2022
มุมมอง 146ปีที่แล้ว
I was invited to be the Guest of Honor at the Desert Hot Springs Marine Corps League / MCJROTC 247th Birthday Luncheon. I wrote a speech for the Cadets titled "Why not me?" It was a great honor to be there and I had a great time.
NCO Sword Manual USMC

I made this video to go onto a website (harris1424.wixsite.com/dischool) that was a project for my Master's Degree in Education at Point Loma Nazarene University. However, this is a relevant period of instruction for those wanting to learn sword manual.
I didn’t notice this mentioned, but when going from parade rest back to attention, make sure to raise the sword back up to 3 inches from the deck
Baddass Sir! used the video for CPL Course, thank you.
Thats boss
Congratulations on your well deserved promotion brother!! Semper Fi!! Bravo Nation!!
Damn I was hoping to find actual fighting manual.
There's tutorials from HEMA for that. If you can somehow get in sword distance I'd be real impressed though.
What a life story! Loved every second of this!
I wished and prayed that I could go to Corporal's Course back at MCBH...never made my cutting score though. Oh, well... Semper Fi, brother. GREAT instructional video.

I was in a retirement parade, and as we started our pass and review the Staff Sgt in charge called Eyes Right he dug the sword in the pavement and snapped the first inch or so off the sword. Turns out he NEVER marched with a sword before.
US Army Battalion Commander's Formation Ceremony... Each Plt. CO or Plt Sgt. Operates Consecutively & Individually... Where USMC Orders are Given By One Officer.. & Each Plt Leader Prompt their Platoons by Saying Platoon... Can you give Break Down... CO, " Baaaa - Tal - llllion...!!!! " All Plts Leaders " Pla- Toooon..!!! " Thanks
I served with 1/9 bravo company. 2 tours OEF. 08-12 Still always listen to cadence calls when I PT. Crazy coming across this video, because you were my senior DI lol. Thanks for your service major, Semper Fi
Good Voice & Tone... Great Articulation... Short & Sweet..!!! Love Self, Protect Life, Cultivate D' Beautiful.. Peace..!!!
Too bad they only teach you to dance with the thing. Train the weapon as a weapon.
I'm watching you pull a sword and all I can think about is what just flew over...
No idea how I got this as a recommended video on the algorithm.... but congrats, and thank you for your cervix :) got my DD214 in 97 :) keep up the good fight
That's hilarious! I appreciate it, and thank you for YOUR cervix!
Congratulations, Adam! Never would have thought you'd become a Major when we were at Pensacola all those years ago. Well done.
Good work, Sir. Proud to see your growth, from 5 years ago when I first watched your NCO Sword Manual up until now. Great work, Semper Fi!
If I may ask what is the name of the song in the opening beginning of the video I would love to know about it . Thank you for reading my comments and I hope to get a reply
So USA still use swords. You're truly the biggest and best military force in the world
Yeah I never bought one when I was in and hit Cpl cause they did away with tanks and sent me to a different MOS so I never had the opportunity to go to cpls course. Now that I’m out all I wanna know is the length I need 💀. Still a cool video though. I see you said 5”6-5”9 is 28” sword. I’m 5”8 so I’m assuming that would be perfect
Most likely 28", depends on how long/short your arms and torso are. The tip of the sword should be even with your ear.
Thank you sir. Needed a refresher..Semper Fi!
Pointless waste.
Need to post more
At 6:39 I love the comment... "no head movement, I'll haze myself later " ! Simply awesome.
"Haze maself later"... Tell me your a Marine without telling me you're a Marine.
Thank you! This is a huge help in researching for my historical fiction novel. Have to make sure I have this perfect for Chesty Puller!
Not sure if you noticed his belt also. Dude is an MAI USMC Martial Arts. Meaning he can kill you with whatever garbage is within his reach. Straight up toothpick and a roll of toilet paper death. Plus, he was a Hat, so killing bodies everyday.
Does the United States Marine Corps teach sword combat or have a manual? Also what was that after you said "return" and sheathed?
Can you do guidon manual
Where do you get the belts with the cover for the sword?
🏛
I’ll be honest I don’t like guns I just prefer us marine swords and knives
BLAHP DO HOOOO LET LA LOOOO LOP DDOOOOOO HEY LA DDOOOOO WAP WAP. FAP. DAP. WOOOOO LOOOOLAAAA. FWIMP. WOOOO FWAP POO LOW LA LLLOWWAAAA DOOO LA DOOO LOOOOOOOAOAAAUUUUUUUUULEEEEEEE best song ever
What this that name of the song
@@stephenchoi2154the Marines national anthem
This was a super helpful video-thank you! Looks like this is your only video but if you’re open to suggestions, having one on the guidon would be awesome too.
Holy shit, Adam! I was looking up sword manual to show someone and this is the first video that came up. I remember being at NAS Pensacola with you and the wife back in '01/'02. Still have some old pics of us somewhere. Hope you and the family are well. - Hardaway
Haha! What's up man?! Yeah this video kinda took off, I only made it for a class in grad school. I never thought it'd get over 50k views. Hope all is well man!
Pure waste of material and time
If you say so... maybe I should upload valuable content like your page of videos of your dog eating? That seems like a better use of time. 🤡 Why would you even click on this video unless it pertained to you?
@@adamharris4707 Look, the sword was meant for combat not for look. Having soilders learn this ceremonial procedure is a waste of their precious time.For the time they learn this meaningless form they could prepare for war with China.
Your a life saver. I’m doing this for my Cpls course.
Semper Fidelis. Thank you very much, this is the best sword tutorial for what I need to learn. I am in the Honor Guard for a small American Legion, since I have my USMC NCO sword, I have been asked to do the sword for USMC funerals, for other funerals I am assigned a M-1 Garand for the rifle salute, or our Legion Post Flag when no rifle salute is requested.
How do you own a sword but don't know the sword manual?
The plane flying over head, considering you aren't at MCRD was hilarious, thanks for the guidance Captain Harris. Bravo Nation
So crisp and smooth 🤟
Exactly the refresher I needed,just found a quality "classic"(+50yr) sword and wanted to brush up on my drill skills to handle it properly. Ooh Rah,Sir Fmr Sgt V

This just helped me with Cpl's course! Thank you sir!
Can't slay the dragon without that sword! Semper Fi !!
Still have my NCO Sword from Cpl's Course. I Loved to Drill my favorite thing to do in Boot. I once had a SgtMajor have an all NCO change of command and one made us fix bayonets with real bayonets it was awesome.
the Marines Corps Birthday brought me here. I heard someone had the connection for some orange crayons.
Eyes Up Ready Right Thats the diddy taught to me by a MasterGunnerySgt., for a meritorious Cpl board on Camp Foster..loong ago.
When do you get the sword? After the promotion to a NCO or during the Training at the NCO-School? Greetings from a german SFC
At Corporal's course you are issued one to train with, but it has to be returned. You can purchase your own sword later if you wish.
When you are promoted to corporal, you are eligible to carry a sword. It's not for just everyday wear, but you can purchase one or check one out when needed. It's not just issued to every corporal.
I'm looking to purchase a marine nco sword , can you tell me were you got your sword from( or makers mark) and maybe how much it costs ? Thank you have a great day.
I was fortunate enough to have my NCO Sword and Officer Mameluke Sword awarded to me, so I didn't have to buy them. The Marine Shop or the MCX are good places to look. They might not be the cheapest but you know they authentic. There are some fake ones out there, so be careful of that.
@@adamharris4707 I'm looking to become a midshipmen one day in NROTC and am looking for a way to practice the drill of the sword along with being physically fit so that I'm a little ahead. The marine nco sword looks simplistic and good for practice. When your commissioned an officer in the marines or navy are you given a sword by tradition or is it only if you get lucky?
@@jtnelson8828 as an officer it depends on your commissioning route. I was a prior enlisted MECEP, and at my NROTC they awarded me an officer sword at graduation/commissioning for my performance while at their University. It all depends... but not every officer is "given" a sword, most have to purchase one. You can find a cheap replica online to practice with if that's all you're looking for. Just don't use it in a real ceremony later down the road.
@@adamharris4707 thank you! Any cheap replicas that you know of that work? A link to one would be perfect if you know of one? And thanks again ! Huge help
Ooh Rah!
