- Welcome to the United States Marine Corps School of Infantry.
The School of Infantry (SOI) is the second stage of initial military training for enlisted United States Marines after Recruit Training. Since the initial training pipeline is divided between coasts, Marines from areas east of the Mississippi River usually graduate from MCRD Parris Island and move on to SOI at SOI East (located at Camp Geiger, a satellite facility of Camp Lejeune in North Carolina), while those from the western half of the nation attend MCRD San Diego and move on to SOI West at the Camp San Onofre area of Camp Pendleton in California. Female Marines are an exception, all of whom go through MCRD Parris Island and SOI East.
The School of Infantry's training mission ensures "Every Marine is, first and foremost, a Rifleman". At SOI, Marines with the Military Occupational Specialty of infantry (0300 occupational field) are trained at the Infantry Training Battalion (ITB), while all non-infantry Marines are trained in basic infantry and combat skills at the Marine Combat Training Battalion (MCT Bn). SOI marks a transition in the professional training of entry-level students from basically trained Marines to combat-ready Marines.

I don't know why but I like these types of videos.
i'm from brazil and too like
Jared Thomas I love them because I can't wait to do this shit
chesty USMC 0221 let me in on who chesty is I hear that all the time
Engine Orange Chesty RIP was an ass kicking Marine.
Urban Radio Hits thanks
for annyone wondering the order is
1: Go to your recruiter and tell them what branch you want to be in
2: they will give you a shipping off date..that is the day you will be going to boot camp
3:after boot camp you get a 10 day vacation day
4:after that vacation you are off to the school of (whatever) for me it will be infantry
5:after school you will be shipped off to a base were your career will begin
What different MOSs are more/less likely to go to different bases, or be deployed?
Daniel Haskins anything 03 is pretty spread out. Almost every other job is pretty limited I believe
You also forgot that non infantry has to do a one month course of MCT after the 10 day leave. For infantry, it’s 2 months of SOI.
Ooo-Rah! I'm a retired USMC 1stSgt, live in Oceanside near the back gate of Camp Pendleton, and my own son is up there at SOI this very moment (and when this video was created), and he's going to be an 03xx.
Needless to say, my son is now my brother, and only other Marines with sons who followed them know what I'm talking about. And the same goes for any child, male or female, who follows their parent into the Corps.
Semper fidelis, out.
Hell yeah, my dad left a master sgt and I leave for bootcamp in less than a month
gmweirdo OORAH! My dad is a retired Gunny. Me and my two older brothers also joined the Corps. Semper Fidelis
Ooo-rah Darnell! I know you're proud of your dad, and I'm sure he's proud of the way his sons turned out. Well done!
Thanks. I you in the Corps? If so, you're my brother too.
Okay Quintin...well done and good choice. By the time you will have read this, you should have graduated. Welcome to the brotherhood.
The Infantry is the nucleus of the Marine Corps. We go from boot, to Soi, then we get to our unit. Then we go to mountain warfare, cqb instructors course, then we go to Bridgeport again. All the while fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. Semper Fidelis to every Marine who has served, did serve, and will serve. Always Faithful.
Can you go to the Infantry but your contract says Marine reserves?
I remember when they changed from ITS to SOI and we were WTF,probably like going from ITR to ITS,same thing but called a different thing depending on Era ooooorah fuckin rah Marines
@@willford8302 Tell your recruiter EXACTY what you want. Don't take no for an answer.
Back in my day, it was so much better than Boot Camp USMCRD. It,'s inspiring to me at the final stage of my life to watch these videos. Best of luck to all of you, and Semper Fi.
It amazes me how much better things have gotten throughout the years. I remember seeing pictures from my Uncle's time in during the 70s. We talked a lot about our experiences. From what he told me and the pictures I saw, the Corps has way gotten better over the decades. I hope it continues!
Grunts symbolize a lot about the core. Semper fi

It's funny though they don't show the 20 mile ruck marches and stuff
Bruce Kimball i was wondering about that
Is great
Yea that would be a recruiting nightmare
A 20 mile ruck March won’t bother them, the crucible was 48 miles, they’ll be aight😂
@@austinpigg5759 the crucible? Thats a good joke... The crucible is nothing compared to what they do in the fleet... Especially if youre in an infantry battalion
This is like the sequel to Boot Camp that nobody outside the Marine Corps really knows about.
My biggest fear would be the inability to understand the Instructers lol
Donovan Lee That’s the only concern I’ve been thinking about for the military😂😂
Luke Hawkins nobody understands what they say. You just kinda have to either hope for the best or do what the guy next to you is doing
Luke Hawkins HAHA 😂 Same
@Stop Playing chill bro how them civvies supposed to know that? They were getting yelled at in the video so. Disrespectful Boot ass POG. If even that.
Stop Playing the beef is real 😂😂 please don’t beat my ass it’s just joke
If you've ever been through SOI training only you know how hard it was to stay awake during graduation
I straight up fell asleep standing
Thanks for posting. My son is in SOI right now at Camp Pendleton so it's nice to see a little bit about what he's doing. Appreciate it!
like how the kept putting the like 2 women there right in the center of the camera when they were around lol.
I went to MCT and SOI back then, it was a challenge each day. But graduated 0341 in 1992. And spent the rest of my career in different units, retired 0369 after twenty years of service. Also, instructed non 0300 Marines at the School house and officers at TBS at Quantico, VA. Semper Fi
Which company! I was there in '92 Delta Co., an all 0311 company.
@GT0311 graduated SOI August 1992 prior to that was guard duty and MCT. Semper
@@ggamba9729 One month behind you! Graduated Sept '92 after failing Electronics School in 29 Palms. Lucky enough to get Kaneohe Bay as my duty station. 1/3, B.co and H&Sco. Semper Fi.
@@ggamba9729 Holy Shit! I graduated in Sept. '92!
My first duty station was 3/8 Lima wpns plt, and then transferred to deploy right away with 1/2 wpns Co. 81s Semper fi
Retired Corpsman and was stationed at 62 area (San Mateo) twice in the early 70's and frequently drove through 52 area and it definitely looks much better then it did back in the day.
Corpsman up brother.
Thank you Foxtrot so much! I love your channel and videos. You are always keeping me in trend about Marines! And one day, hopefully, I will become a Marine. So, all I am saying is that keep it up your great work, and never stop!
Makes me feel so much closer to my son and what he is going through. Also informs our conversations when we get a chance to visit. ❤
Things have changed since 1980. For us, iron sights, warbelts, cammy green. Forgotten a lot but I do remember Mount MFer. That'll never go away.
Uh-Oh Hollywood Marine to bad you didn't train at Geiger that place was a fucking Gulag in the 80's i'm pretty sure the Corp violated sum humanitarian rights living in that shithole.
MCRD grad date Sept 24th 1982. I remember that mountain too!
MCRD 1988. Who could forget Mt MF😮
God bless thank you for all your service new subcriber
damn.. I can remeber those days..
SOI was fun, I miss it. Combat instructors were cool af.
Marine infantry school looks alot more chill and laid back than army infantry school was. Ours was basically advanced basic training. My drill sgts were just as tough on us there as they were in basic.
SURE. DOES. BUT. THEY. ALWAYS. TALK. SMACK ABOUT. US. ARMY
@@jamesmitchell3496 And we always will! Lol.
Hell yeah I am about to get into the army after being out of the Corps for 6 years because it is easier 🤣🤣
Anything the army does is over complicated and retarded. Worked with them, ate with them, shit with them, a LCpl of Marines is more competent than a SNCO, even officer of the Army
I'm so proud of all your brave hearts. I love all videos.
I wish they had this when I graduated from boot camp. After I graduated I went straight to MOS School
When ive been waiting for this for a while😂
This could possibly the ideal level of a man's physical and mental performance. I hope to be one of them someday.
SOI is easy. I was on restriction for all of SOI and the weekends were harder for me than the training days. Recon/Raiders/SF indocs are the hard ones.
So much more modern than when I was there in '92.

excellent.
if you get wounded and need a fellow marine to carry you to safety, hope it is not a female marine
Why not? We call them wookies for a reason :P
If a female marine made it this far, then I'd assume she's able to carry her weight and her squad mates weight. Unless you're doubting the authority of the U.S. military...it's almost like she'd have to have trained for this the same as any other
Abby Schmidt women pass marine training because they have LOWER STANDARDS than men. they are weaker than men. if women had the same PT standards as men, most women would fail boot camp
The standards are going to be the same soon, personally I think they should've always been the same for women and men, and then we'll probably see a decrease in woman in the infantry. But then we'll see woman who are strong enough mentally and strong enough in the infantry. If we exclude certain people before even giving them a chance then who knows what we're missing out on.
Let me tell you something, my friend. When I was in the Corps, back in '81, we had a Woman Marine who worked at the 1st FSSG motor pool at CamPen, CA. She was so strong, she could carry a bus tire under each arm. When the rubber meets the road, what it boils down to is.....Can they DO THE JOB?? If they CAN, they can carry my happy ass out of danger and away from death ANY day. Cover my ass as well as I can cover yours and we have no problem. Quit with the "girls are weak" shit. Not all of them are. It depends. It's like saying that "all men are strong and able to handle combat". One stop at a VAMC psych ward will tell you that that stupid statement is a load of shit. You take people ONE AT A TIME. CAN THEY DO THE JOB. That's all that matters. If there's any other problem, then it's YOUR problem, so deal with it.
outstanding
went through infantry school, 0311 back in 2007, feels like it was yesterday.
Takes me back to 2012 😫 I miss this shit 0311 rah
The chow hall looks nicer then i remember? Also that a4 with the carbine stock is cool.
Food there tastes like ass. Worse than MCRD
3:47 Ssgt Griggs is that you ?!
Wow, amazing how the nomenclature changes. In my day it was Basic Infantry Training (BIT) and everyone went. 0300 continued with Advanced Infantry Training and the rest went off to do whatever it was the Marine Corps wanted them to do.
wilhard45 it's still similar, grunts go to soi pogs go to mct , mct is basically the first month of soi then after they go to their schools
+Joe Parga you mean Itb
+Joe Parga MCT is part of SOI
My son just left right b4 thanksgiving for this. So proud of that kid. 19 yrs old and kicking ass!!! Hoooo rahhh!!!!!
in 1968 it was called ITR INFANTRY TRAINING REGIMENT SEMPER FI YOU YOUNG MARINES GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Hated this place. But I am who I am because of it. Forever grateful for the opportunity I had to become my dream job as a 0311
PRetty sure that's the moment most of those guys wish they paid attention in high school and went to college. Looks like a miserable existence.
Dude everyone in this video is invisible
if you're going to show the school of "Infantry" wouldn't it makes sense to show the infantry not POGS at MCT
Respect your brothers you POS
Will Rathgeber lMAO, shut up
Squilliam We do respect our brothers, its rivalry. Regardless if they’re infantry or not.
I assumed it was SOI...they just let Wooks in now.
@@squilliam8329 shut up boot. LOL
I love it Marines! Oooh Rahhhh
LOL, it has changed a lot since i went in 92. It was hell on earth and they made sure you knew that. Boot camp was a breeze compared to SOI.
90% of that was MCT. Real men go through ITB
Yeah especially the guys in other MOS's that still do extremely dangerous jobs but didn't get the extra 14 training days. They have no idea what it's like to be a "real man". Shut the fuck up boot.
Im gonna assume you're butt hurt because you went to MCT. LOL, defiantly not boot either
It seems that USMC infantry doesn't think you're all riflemen. =]
I could say Real Marines went thru ITR...back in Vietnam days it was a Regiment not a battalion....but I won't...Semper Fi.
Staging battalion then off to Nam. Semper Fi. I do remember those hills.
can't wait until I can join in 2018
Charles Haynes I'm going to join in 2019!
TurtleJuicexBae nice man
Don't do it
Philrups why not
Charles Haynes
Are you smart? Are you fit? Then go the officer route if you're wanting to join. It's a MUCH better life lol
Really hope General Mattis gets rid of the women from combat MOS's in the USMC and Army.
Bashar al-Assad why do people have problem with women in the army.
First off this is the Marine Corps not the army, And nobody has a problem with women serving. Just not in the infantry
from old army guy, they shouldn't be anywhere near or in a tank or an arty tube.
teller121 agreed
teller121 It's a shame three women are now in Infantry Units, a Rifleman, Machinegunner (good luck) and fucking Arty
very good
nice video
I did two tours at S.O.I.. Served as a troop handler (old school term), squad instructor, weapons instructor and Platoon Cmdr. Getting stuck there used to be a career ender. My escape each time was calling the monitor and begging for orders to the next deploying victor.
Yes. You are required to answer in writing with a Naval letter or Naval message.
Brotherhood is more than just a word. Same spirit should unite warriors. Not just same sex.
Is great
Funny seeing LAV shooting a tow. LAV 3 is actually a swiss tank, which is named the piranha. There are some piranha equipped with TOW system but I think the equipment is older than the LAV's one.
I date myself. Back in the day as an artillery guy (first an 0811) but then as an 0861, there was no such thing as extra infantry training. Mind you, once assigned as an FO with the infantry, I got trained pretty quick. :-)
I'm in the Marine Corps and there's no way in the hell I could do this job... My hat's goes off to the brave men and women that fight on the front line because there's no way in hell I could do that job
Fabo Johnson women are a joke on the front line
Underground Fights Anonymous don't dare compare women to black men
Underground Fights Anonymous: we’re being filled with propaganda? Last time I checked your leftist media releases feminist and BLM propaganda on a daily basis.
my brother is in marine his name is Daniel
Wow I know exactly who he is, I’ll make sure to say hello..
Can’t wait till I join
What's so fun about getting blown to pieces or losing limbs for some rich people?
Jawan T I don’t know it’s just a long time dream of mine and I would rather die on the front line then die doing nothing
@@notayoutuber660 Don't listen to Jawan. He thinks peace is always the answer especially to an enemy who declares war on you and the country you're in who is also aiming to kill you before anyone else kills him.
I remember our first hike out, it was 3 days and when we got back all our lockers were broken into and our cash was stolen. No electronics, jewelry, wallets, nothing, just cash. I'm pretty sure our combat instructor was pretending to write stuff down but anyways, we never got our money back. I had $35 dollars in my wallet too...
I was there during this time
The people saying Women can’t do infantry are the people who give me even more motivation to reach that very goal of showing I, a woman, can do exactly the opposite of what they think.
Provem wrong then champ.
That's a terrible reason to join the infantry lol...
I. HOPE. THE. ENEMY AGREES. WITH. YOU. HE. WILL. LIKE YOU
well Tiffany, did you have a kid and settle down or deploy as infantry in the marines? What happened in real life?
How long is the Marine Corps School of Infantry?
MCT: 1 month; SOI: 2 months. Non-infantry go to MCT, not SOI and everybody doesn't learn all the weapon systems, it is MOS dependent. I doubt MCT trains marines on mortars, tows, javs, etc.; I believe MCT only trains on rifles, saw, 240, grenades and M2 BMG, feel free to correct me if I am wrong, this was true in '06- '11
K White to correct you a little bit but MCT is a course that is part of the School of Infantry. Marines with a Infantry MOS attend Infantry Training Battalion at SOI. Both fall under SOI but different courses. But yeah you are correct on the other information pretty much.
Yup, no heavy weapons heavier than the M2 and Mk. 19.
^? There's mortars and tows...
Also, they're called crew-served...
Thought that it was discovered that running across a bare open field on a sunny bright was somewhat of a bad idea.
14:07....impact
14:27...impact
Currently at ITB, kms
Combat WMs are a complete waste of money, and will cost Marine lives.
They are their for morale😂😂😂😂
I’m a woman and I’m 100% women shouldn’t be there, men can’t be babysitting women in a battlefield, to risky!
Will the Marines still be using the M16 for training as of fall 2017/spring 2018? Or will they begin using the M4 for training by then?
its honestly really awesome seeing the integration of women into the infantry. im excited to see how great of a job they will do. semper fi
Women can't get into the infantry, even if it is open to them. Simply put, they are physically too weak to handle the carrying of the heavy gear and equipment long distances and in some cases not even able to lift it, at all. The women in the video are in the MCT.
That's true but some women are cable of carrying the equipment, and running 3 miles or more.
Mechanized infantry loads? Sure. Light infantry loads? Very, very few. I'm 6-3 and weigh 225 lbs. and it nearly killed me. But, I was Army airborne infantry. Most of the USMC is mech, so...
Chase Balazs women are a fuckin liability you progressive immaculate. The marine corps did a study on it. Females aren't effective learn ur shit war isn't a political agenda game
TH-cam Marine gen Barrow's address to congress opposing WMs in combat. He fought in 3 wars. Was in command in all 3.
Im going to be that one trainie that does the most just to impress, but this video is awesome I'm def set on doing infantry
That place looks familiar ... 45 years out of date for me, but familiar.
I guess that is how some of us were taught to about face... nasty things! Nasty 4th batallion too.
No shit, right? 13 weeks at MCRD... 10 days of leave then back to ITB for 8 weeks. Not even 6 months and already that lazy foot shuffle. Seemed to only be that WM center frame though.
Yeah man I can agree. Been out for a while and I can still do it the right way.
Is MOS training like boot camp or a lot less strict?
What is the first thing that happened when you got to your unit right after and what do you think will happen to the females?
6:00 OK, taking into consideration that this is training, you don't send your Scouts to look at the open area of the danger crossing, you send them to Scout the far side woods, because that's where the enemy is likely to be set up. I don't recommend training that does not follow what is supposed to be done in combat, because that "simulated" action, often becomes what's mistakenly done later on, and it gets good Soldiers (and Marines) killed.
SSS U.S.Army (Ret), Infantry / Sniper, multiple tours
Speaking as a former USMC arty guy (0811/0861), faced with a serious clearing, I would have smoked the treeline anyway - assuming you wanted to cross the clearing. Whatever infantry maneuvers you wish to conduct, I'd like obscuration.
Maybe that's just me, being a former gunner. But I'd have no hesitation in putting in smoke serious 50/50 HE PD/Delay into that treeline. :-)
Arved Sandstrom
Nothing wrong with the Hammer, I qualified as an FO just for that purpose, but there are few times when higher is going to free up arty just to cross a danger zone, best case they painted the guns position for counter battery and worst case (at least in the CO's eyes) uncontrolled collateral damage. In the cold calculus of combat, risking the lives of a few Soldiers to Scout the far side is often the best option.
Ryan Taylor Personally I would have sent a squad up the side before moving the main effort foreward. Then if and when contact occurs we already have a flanking element.
How do they choose who gets what MOS? I wanna do infantry but I don’t wanna get stuck being a motorman, AT, LAV, ect. I wanna get riflemen or machinegunner
Do more vids on Us army rangers 75th regiment
How about do what it takes to join the 75th reg... then you won't have to watch vids to learn enough for your stolen valor.. lmao jk.

Looks like some of this is filmed in Camp Pendleton and Camp Gieger. Am I correct in that guess?
Yeah, the beginning and end look like Pendleton and the middle parts remind me a lot of Gieger or at least the New River MAW side in NC. Good eye.
Fred Brice yes
Fred Brice Some of them are definitely Geiger. No other state has those pines and terrain features.
You can see Mount Mother F---er at :22. Camp Pendleton.
Ah, good ole MMF.
Are they using M16s with a Collapsible stock?
Do you need a first class PFT and CFT or just the first class PFT for infantry ? And is it hard to get a 1st class CFT and what if I don’t get a first class CFT?I’m at 120 crunches and 15 pulls ups(trying to get to 20) and idk about my run time on the PFT and for the CFT the only score I know of mine is about 100 ammo can presses and I leave on June 17th 2019 for Paris 03xx. I’m trying to make sure I’ll meet those. Sometimes I’m worried about qualifying for infantry than bootcamp.
You don’t need to have a first class PFT or CFT but it’s good if you do. And word of advice, don’t be scared of boot camp or ITB, be fucking terrified once you hit the fleet because you’ll meet men you never wish existed.
-Some dude whose been in the infantry for too fucking long and is ready to get out.
@@Endaroo So......2 years and a deployment lol
That chow hall still the same lol
I'm going to miss deserts
I went through this and Platoon Sgt Crs. Anybody else.
4:50
What is that coyote tan colored box-shape attachment above the barrel in front of the optic, located just up from center on the screen? I have seen those so many times but never known what they were. My best guess is that it is some sort of laser range-finder, but I can't seem to find out what they are called (so I haven't been able to look them up and find out).
It's just an IR laser pointer. They're not gonna give these retards a LRF.
While I forgot what its correct name is. It is a laser pointer. It has multiple laser settings. In SOI you only train with 2 of them. The normal Red Laser. And then the Green laser that is only visible using the Nightvision Goggles.
PEQ 15 is the name of what you're looking at.
ITB gets the PEQ-16s. POGs get the 15s.
Marines have girls doing there fighting for them. So happy im not in anymore! 0331
Awacs0808 so joining isn't worth it?
Acrophobia from talking to current service members who told me about the political correctness weak leadership and women in infantry. No it's not
stevie torrance This is the Marine Corps, not the Navy nor the Army.
Harry Kuheim Lol not anymore thanks to trump!
Adam Saenz Lol Marines are the US Minute Men, they clear the way for the Army...
This may seem like a dumbass question but I'm a civilian. Can you fire a weapon from your left shoulder with your right hand if it works better for you or do you have to fire off the same shoulder that your hand is on
It doesnt matter as long as you hit the target
Ideal situation is to fire same hand same shoulder.
how long is infantry school
Leaving for boot in 9 days w an 03 contract cant wait to get some baby
Jay 919 when you signed your contract it’s says 0300
Did you pass or decide to do blow
Do you enjoy your "Army style" ranks in a "Army kind" of a platoon?
A Marine company is and always has been 3 ranks of 13 men.
I can't wait till I'm fucking done with high school
how many
years you have till you graduate
I'm a sophomore so the rest of this year and two more
Same man high school fuckin sucks
Same but I'm going into college then joining
#bootygod #bleachgod me too
why are the Marines sometimes wearing the desert uniform even though they are on a Base/Training ground with lots of forests?
Steve Smith because they need to get familiar with their uniform to fight in dessert places like the Middle East, like Afghanistan Iraq syria
a girlll!!! finally :)
Where are all the hikes ? And the hazing ??🤔🤔
Chacho Ramirez they are on film
lazy lima was the vibe
I wish I can join the Infantry and fight in Syria. I’m not in good shape though 😞. Any tips?
Get in shape. Or become a should've could've would've been. I started at 139 in 2016 2017 I'm 154 training to be a marine. Ima shit talking gun wanna be having fuck up ready to get some. You go get sum
