I am 26 with a 4 year old daughter who stays with her mom full time and I want to join the marines so I can move forward with a good future that offers opportunities...I just went to a marine corps office today and passed a practice ASVAB
You all prolly dont care but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot the account password. I love any tips you can offer me.
@@RogueAK47 wrong. aside from military police, i’ve heard infantry jobs can translate to law enforcement. so you’re looking to be a cop, sheriff, or state trooper infantry could help with that 🤷🏾♂️
I was on ship during the whole pandemic last year. Most boring time ever we stopped once in Guam for like 2 days but we couldn’t get off lol. We did nothing all day but stay in the berthing. It was a nightmare I was on there for 6 weeks. We were so bored started playing hide and seek throughout the ship.
Maybe at the end of your next video or so could u just go over the process of picking your job in the marines? For some reason theres lots of conflicting info on it I just wanna know the process
Every Marine Corps applicant is technically open contract after swearing in at MEPS.After that you sit down with your recruiter and pick 3 jobs you're interested in. A lot of them are going to be job fields and not specific mos'. You can sign an infantry contract but that doesn't guarantee you 0311, 0331, 0341 etc. unless you're a reservist. Oh and God forbid you go open contract. Don't go open contract regardless of what they tell you...
@@MrDW-ei1fe right, I would like to go combat engineer as my first pick. I'm just wondering can I specifically get the combat engineer position or is it a pool. Like I could EITHER get combat engineer, regular engineer, electrician , etc. And I know most questions people get on youtube you could easily ask your recruiter and not he annoying to youtube but this question I feel like my recruiter would tell me what I want to hear versus the truth
Meyer556 I think you can specifically get combat engineer. I had a couple of friends in boot camp and now in the fleet that were contract combat engineers and not reservists. If I’m not mistaken there’s a couple of contracts that have combat engineer as an option. If you want combat engineer then push for it.
Wow - I was in the Navy - spent 5 years on ships - this represents absolutely nothing of my deployments, however, our Marines were just riders and did very little except clog the chow lines and the gym. The Sailors run and maintain the ship. I am very grateful for the work that the Marines do, but on ships, they're riders and the Navy just moves them around to do their job (which they do exceptionally well).
And also, i had a question about the marines in general, deployment or at home. is there a place to constantly train martial arts similar to MCMAP ? I want to get into MMA after I leave the Marines but I’m a little worried they don’t actually focus on hand to hand combat much outside of boot camp/SOI. a response would be extremely appreciated, love your videos.
Yeah you definitely can keep doing MCMAP after bootcamp and stuff. I'm a black belt and you can practice as much as you want. And there are places off base if you want to specifically practice MMA.
deployments supporting or involved in actual operations are a lot more intense, on my deployments we worked 12 hour shifts minimum, 7 days a week for over 7 months a piece
No deployments are alike. My deployment we rarely had any contact, easy deployment according to the more experienced NCOs who had been in longer, and the contact we did have I wasn't there until the end of it anyway, was 5 minutes short of getting a CMB. Then you have stuff like that movie Restrepo. THAT is a tough deployment
Not in the service, but Marines are typically America's first response branch. They are an offensive branch that's goal is entirely in invasion. In recent years, they led pushes into places like Fallujah and many other parts of Iraq.
In the old days the Seals went in first to clear any invasion area of whatever or to recon...I wasn't in the 0300 field but I was in 0400, good thing about being 0400 you are the first to know whats going on because its the 0400s providing support and moving what ever unit where, 0431, went through Amphibious Assault School on Coronado Island in 1992, we ain't there for the Assault part, we go there to learn how to properly load and disembark the various ships, Aircraft, etc whatever, I always preferred Navy bases marine, food was better.
@@firacingast false. Marines haven’t really been first to fight anywhere other than the pacific. Look it up. Rangers definitely have a higher chance of deploying and will usually deploy sooner. If a meu is in the area I can see them being sent first if needed though
Your channel is really smooth. However, I never see any photos or videos of you when your deployed. Are you allowed to take a little camera with you when your deployed?
I went on 3 west paces with the 31 mau back in the 80s.yes life onnord ship had it's ups and downs no pun intended.i was on a list lpd and lka if you been on a list you know or seen it going under.i was a 0161.i volunteered almost went on a forth one to lebinom but I was short.enjoyed all ports of call except mumbasa kenya.yes subic was my fave if you herd story's they were all true I don't care what they said it was true I was in a movie filmed there .the tattoo guy in an officer and gentlemen LoL
John Reed idk yet in that mos there Field Artillery, Tank and assault amphibious vehicles, Air control/air support/anti-air Warfare/Air traffic Controller.
Okay but why does a grunt do in deployment if there is no war to fight like this guy is infantry so what is he doing on a big navy ship, I don’t imagine he’s training??
They’re amphibious lol. Marines are historically meant to take the beaches so the navy takes them across water onto a beach and then the marines attack the land. But also marines can be used to just take land.
Used to be you either went on a float or you went to Okinawa for a year, one of the two...not everyone but dam near everyone, I didn't go on either, I did go to DD92 in 1992, NATO Amphibious Exercise with new member Turkey back then.

I’m sure you’ll be a fine marine to serve with one day
You all prolly dont care but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account?
I somehow forgot the account password. I love any tips you can offer me.
i would try for a more technical job like aviation or intel, infantry offers you zero rollover in the civilian sector
@@RogueAK47 I know man my dumbass scored 31 on the asvab & I’m going in for infantry.
@@RogueAK47 wrong. aside from military police, i’ve heard infantry jobs can translate to law enforcement. so you’re looking to be a cop, sheriff, or state trooper infantry could help with that 🤷🏾♂️
I like your channel. I am 74 and never served. But I so admire people like you who are putting in the work. I am so happy to be an American!
Still alive
Ahkil 🤣
Do a vlog of the daily life of a marine
I'm in the works on doing that.
I have friend who deployed like year ago I really didn't ask them what it like for them so this video is very informative
Thank you
My boyfriend is getting deployed in a week.This was really helpful to understand what it's like for him.
Go over your experience after SOI and hitting the fleet. Especially as an infantryman, was there hazing, etc.?
No hazing
Ok will do
Tcates29 Bro i got marine bootcamp in 3 weeks i also got mos 0341. Is it as cool as the videos on youtube???
@@yaboiskies5957 why u asking me, im a poolee also lol
Cochin Ground hazing?

Good content brother. Shipping out on January 25th to boot camp. 03 field just like you, thanks for the advise. Great content!

Thank you
Thank you for your service, I am very grateful. My Devil Dog is presently deployed on a MEU. Semper Fi 🇺🇸
Bro this is awesome. You should do a workout vid
agreed
I working on doing that actually.
deployments supporting or involved in actual operations are a lot more intense, on my deployments we worked 12 hour shifts minimum, 7 days a week for over 7 months a piece
I've learned a LOT from your videos thank you.
Thank you for this bro 🙏🏽
No problem

Great video thanks for the info
Whats your daily routine when not deployed
I actually have a video on that.
Needed this! 😎
Glad it helped
Broh I also for a video you said the Infrantry overall experience was terrible.😂
Your videos help me process the fact my daughter is joining.
Do marine infantry men get to fight first if there was a war? Or do they send like army rangers ? New to this stuff but interested
Not in the service, but Marines are typically America's first response branch. They are an offensive branch that's goal is entirely in invasion. In recent years, they led pushes into places like Fallujah and many other parts of Iraq.
Depends on the mission. They’ll most likely send special forces first & then regular infantry.
In the old days the Seals went in first to clear any invasion area of whatever or to recon...I wasn't in the 0300 field but I was in 0400, good thing about being 0400 you are the first to know whats going on because its the 0400s providing support and moving what ever unit where, 0431, went through Amphibious Assault School on Coronado Island in 1992, we ain't there for the Assault part, we go there to learn how to properly load and disembark the various ships, Aircraft, etc whatever, I always preferred Navy bases marine, food was better.

Maybe you can add some pics while u talking brother
Thank you will do, I will do anything to help make the videos better.

Trell there still deployment next talk about reserve next vid please do reseve life
Answer
I'm active duty so I would have to get a reservist to talk on it.
Hey I’m just wondering, are you in infantry because I have 2 years until I can finally join the marines and go boot camp
Yes I am
So what is a deployment? How is it different from being sent to another duty station?
Cool
Hey Trell, how come you do not use Marine terminology with your vids? This way the incoming/poolees can start on their knowledge?
Do you think right now is a good time to enlist due to the whole coronavirus epidemic going on?
Yeah I don't see why not.
Better now than ever since you’ll for sure be getting paid lol
I went on 3 west paces with the 31 mau back in the 80s.yes life onnord ship had it's ups and downs no pun intended.i was on a list lpd and lka if you been on a list you know or seen it going under.i was a 0161.i volunteered almost went on a forth one to lebinom but I was short.enjoyed all ports of call except mumbasa kenya.yes subic was my fave if you herd story's they were all true I don't care what they said it was true I was in a movie filmed there .the tattoo guy in an officer and gentlemen LoL
good content. what'd u do on the ship work wise?
A lot of classes
Lol all i got from this is literally that that deployment is just bad cruise. 😂😂😂
Dope videos bro

You're a supply guy.
John Reed idk yet in that mos there Field Artillery, Tank and assault amphibious vehicles, Air control/air support/anti-air Warfare/Air traffic Controller.
@@kamarskeete2762 you’re a supply guy
@@dannyz7904 lmao na im artillery damn almost been a year since this comment
@@kamarskeete2762 u hate your life yet ? Lmao
do all infantry go on a MEU?
Where ever you are stationed is there internet and restaurants?
1. No
2. Yes
Okay but why does a grunt do in deployment if there is no war to fight like this guy is infantry so what is he doing on a big navy ship, I don’t imagine he’s training??
How often do you get deployed and how long are you deployed for?
About to go on my second one
Idk what mos to pick because I’m about to go to meps and I’m only 17 so trell if you see this can you plz help me
Yeah have you checked out the video I have on my top 5 jobs as well Infantry jobs
Why do some Marines get deployed on ships? And others on land?
They’re amphibious lol. Marines are historically meant to take the beaches so the navy takes them across water onto a beach and then the marines attack the land. But also marines can be used to just take land.
goated !🇺🇸🇺🇸
💪🏽
So did you not deploy to a place that’s on land? Are most marine deployments not on land?
i deployed to both turkey and qatar, it depends on your units function.
How long is post deployment leave?
Usually ranges anywhere from 1-2 weeks
We're you ever stationed anywhere during deployment or is that different?
you get deployed out of where you are stationed, so if you get stationed in san diego you would go back there after deployment
Trell what mos are u canu do a vid on admin
I'm an 0341
On a scale of 1 to 10, how boring is it?
When you say classes what do you mean
How long was the deployment?
A little over 7 months.
Hey man I love your videos keep it up but why did u say YOU KNOW so much bro 😭😭😭
Thank you and wym
💯
Does everyone get assigned to a MEU?
No just depends on what your unit is doing next
Used to be you either went on a float or you went to Okinawa for a year, one of the two...not everyone but dam near everyone, I didn't go on either, I did go to DD92 in 1992, NATO Amphibious Exercise with new member Turkey back then.
What’s ur unit
V 1/2
Can deployment be in the states still?
no
Trell the Great damn so he’s finna be far???😔
How likely am I to deploy in a 3 year enlistment
You can do a 3yr in the corps?

NvrHateAncient Clay yes he is
Yep
atta boy
Yeah what was the job they actually did????
Damn who tha 5 people that left dislikes 👎
Are you guaranteed deployments?
At least two if you go into the infantry.
Trell the Great have both of yours been /going to be MEU’s?
Don’t feel like you have to constantly smile at the camera
Sorry it's a habit😂
@@TrelltheGreat keep smiling, nice teeth
