I served in the Marines back in 1979 to 1983. I worked in the defense industry my entire career and help to develop some of the radar surveillance systems they are using today. I was RADAR tech and still work in that specialty area today as a manufacturing engineer and manager. It sure makes me proud to see what these young Marines are doing. They conduct themselves with such honor and pride. Its true when they say once a Marine, always a Marine. I still feel a connection to these guys. The Marine Corps still lives in my heart and soul.
My Dad was in Nam what were you apart of and were you in country not that it matters he was drafted into the second wave.. Hooah Marine from another force i served in Iraq I cannot say which I basically told you without saying.. Respect to you Brother Old Breed.
I was in 2/5 Golf and Echo from 2006 to 2010. Glad to see you're are carrying on the tradition! And we are STILL the most highly decorated battalion in the Marine Corps. Semper!
I served in H & S Company 2/5 Marines from Aug 96 to Aug 2000. Seeing these videos make me remember all the good time and the great Marines and Corp man i met while i stationed in Camp Pendleton CA. Thank you Marines for your service and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. We are proud of you and i will always be Marine Semper Fi
We have the smartest, most tactical, ruthless, and mentally tough war fighters in the world. So proud to have served but even more proud of these types of warfighters. I was in logistics so a lot of their supplies came from units like us. So proud to have been surrounded by these types of guys.
Same here brother! I’ll always support our troops, they are amazing! God bless them all, I hope they all make it home to their families, wherever the fight
Thanks for this video I always try to find videos of marines getting ready to leave or deploying if you will and this was the closest one I have found yet thanks
I had the ear buds turned up a bit too loud for that first good boom. I could only imagine, when the marine said, "well, my ears are ringin' ", just how much he meant it.
I can’t operate with a mitten on, how can these guys operate in those dang gloves? Amazing! My family has always been in the military. My husband and son served as Marines. We are deeply grateful and indebted for each of our courageous souls. I hope all returned safely. We love each of you. Please come home.

Thank you truly to each person whom has served and continue. I'm not even saying this because it's "nice". I genuinely, mean it like you truly are hero's. Even though, I know people whom have served would never claim to be. But you seriously wether currently served or have served will always be forever changed and that's seriously not been thought of or respect enough.

Because ,you simply was told Our freedom or even other COUNTRIES needed protection!!! Thank you, and your still very much thought of and cared for .. for whatever that could mean at this point...... God Bless you for your service 🤝♥️
One thing always comes to my mind when watching these combat footage from Afghanistan or Iraq.. The temperature is around 100 degrees and these guys have tons of clothes and gear on them. Now imagine fighting in that condition? I red somewhere that guys tend to loose up to 10 pounds on a longer mission. Brutal..
This is the most dangerous task. I encomend the soldier for that! You got to have courage and determination to do what they do. My prayer are with them.
Intentional, the sound / echo prevents the target from ascertaining the location of the other Marine laying down suppressing fire & pinpointing his location.
Just wanna point out how cool it is too finally see Abrams tanks rolllin around Helmand Province. I served my second tour in Sangin District just south of Kajaki, and returned in early February. I was with Alpha Co. 1/6. It would've been fucking awsome to have tank support then. Also happy to see what I am assuming are issued ECH's being worn by most of the Marines in this video. Provide far better protection against 7.62 than the out dated helmets that used to be issued.
