Disrespect drill instructor = instant death.
neji hyuga you have to be in for about 4-5 years before that
🙌🏻
4 days till I ship 🇺🇸 I'm thinking about bring my xbox, my pet gold fish and a coloring book
Definitely bring the coloring book and crayons. You'll get hungry on the flight.
Do you think he made it?
I'm not Jackson rip goldfish
I'm not Jackson don't forget glue stick
I'm not Jackson poor soul
"Surprised he wasn't an asvab waiver" I laughed pretty hard at that one lol
What is an asvab waiver?
@@swaggybear6347 I don't know if it's an actual thing but I'm pretty sure it's just a piece of paper that says "hey this guy is really really stupid but let him into the Corps"
Brandon Ouellette essentially yeah. You can get a waiver for almost anything. They won’t waive you anything big but something small like 3-5 points maybe.
marines don't steal they tactically acquirer
This video actually made me look forward to boot camp.
How'd that pan out?
ClaytonFilpo you should do some more boot camp advice vids, love the Socratic discussion videos tho.
@@animalmother942 nice bro
"I pushed a kid out of the way" xD
I'm going for marsoc
Of course you are smh 😒
Bryan Villescas unless you truly believe you love america to death and you wanna " give your life for your country " and all that bullshit, dont go infantry positions.
1) High chance of casualty/death
2) No trade when you get out ( no job skills unless you wanna kick down fucking doors for a living )
3) Field life fucking sucks even when your not in combat
I got the infantry contract, leave on Halloween. God bless the infantry
Bryan Villescas Is that the same thing as force recon?
No, Force Recon & Recon Battalions act as Special Operations Capable (SOC) Units for the USMC(In most cases, Or atleast operate under them).
MARSOC (Marine Special Operations Command) is the command unit for (Marine Raiders / Marine Special Operations Regiment) and are the Special Operations / Special Forces Unit of the USMC, Similar to Seals, SFOD-D (ARMY), Green Berets and 24th STS (Among Others) who are apart of USSOCOM.
This shit keeps me motivated and excited to go to Boot Camp!
Rah
ClaytonFilpo Lmao, time flies
these videos about boot camp make me less afraid to be sent to basic and actually make me more excited! thanks so much for sharing your stories!!
This TH-cam channel is lit I love your content
Thanks Clayton for the info! I'm really looking forward to bootcamp and everything it comes with because I know it's a once in a life time experience. Your videos help me out a lot, I know if I ever need advice I can always come to your channel.
my personal experience going through boot last year is this. If your going to be a grunt, boot camp is the easiest thing you will probably ever do. When i made it to Infantry training battalion it made boot camp seem like going through fun summer camp. Once i arrived to my first unit last year, it made both boot and ITB seem like pre school. Don't get scared by rumors and motto TH-cam videos. Boot camp isn't hard at all, fat people make it through with no sweat and the passing rate is like 93%. The only way your going to fail is if you get seriously injured.
I was told if you get Injured you get sent back home to recover. Then once you come back, you have to start back at Day 1. That sucks..
+Isaac Reaper it depends on the severity of the injury. if it's really bad, then they send you home. if it's like something minor with little rehab, then I believe they let you stay but you're put into a different platoon. I believe it's called rtp or PCP, something like that. I can't remember, but you don't start from day 1. you start from where you got dropped at.
+Bria Carter Oh, really? That's interesting. Whay would you call severe and minor?
+Isaac Reaper umm... it depends, haha. a friend of mine went to boot camp & she got a stress fracture in her foot. she was in medical for like 4 extra weeks. another girl had something wrong with her hip, & she was sent home. & my other friend was sent home because of her eye. I can't really say what would be severe or minor. because everything is different. what I think would be minor could be severe to the corpsmans. I know they look at what body part is injured & the severity of the injury itself comes into play.
+Bria Carter Ahhhhh I see, I always figured tearing your quad was severe and ankle sprain was minor. But idk now.
The hot pocket story killed me xD
11:05-> When I was 18, I had to go to a correctional boot camp for 6 months. After the initial welcome (smoked like charcoal), getting your head shaved (you can't recognize anyone you thought you knew), getting your gear, and then getting squared away in the barracks. That is the exact thought I had :-D Physically, the first couple of weeks were the most difficult. Then, like you said, you're at the mercy of other stupidity in your barracks. I learned real quick about team work, discipline, %40 rule, sanitation, and how quickly your mouth can get you into trouble.
Thanks for the share and keep up the good work~!
13:48
I did that once at my house with a sausage biscuit, it was before we left for vacation and the biscuits turned into lumps of charcoal.
Thx you for you Service
Im a citizen and i dont even get 8 hours of sleep or 3 meals a day
MEPS takes kids with lazy eyes as long as your vision isn’t absolutely affected
Hey man thanks u have been a lot of help
Hey man I leave next June and I just wanted to tell you that I love the videos keep up the good work they are very helpful.
How'd it go brother?
thank you for your service 🇺🇸
bootcamp with a friend. tell recruiter buddy system. you and friend will have to be kept together in bootcamp and mct
It's so cool you met Rob Riggle! 😃👍
He was so nice!
THATS AWESOME! im a mcjrotc cadet here i remember laughing when sargent major of the marine corps said "how old do you think i am?"
can I bring my color book to bootcamp?
Hey man I really enjoy your videos. I'm planning on enlisting infantry in a few months, and I wanted to ask you a couple questions about it. I'm a heavier guy and I've been running and working out to lose weight. I wanted to know if you were overweight when you decided you wanted to enlist and how you went about shedding weight the quickest/healthiest way. Thanks clay cheers man.
I was 80 pounds overweight. I lost it over the course of about 14 months. It honestly is a mental and habitual problem. The sooner you make up your mind that you will develop better habits, the faster you'll reach your goal. I dieted properly, exercised A LOT, and got great sleep. It just takes time and dedication.
ClaytonFilpo Thanks a lot bro. This is something I really want to do, so your advice means a lot. I'm new to your channel, so do you happen to have a video on a diet for shedding weight?
I have a minor club foot (physical deformity) and even though I can wear any shoe or boot with ease. I can run, jog, and sprint without discomfort. I can walk long distances (with the usual foot aches from walking so long) and be fine. I've been losing weight as well. Do you believe that I'd be accepted once I meet the weight requirements? I also won't lie, I smoked weed once in college when I was around 21 and again around 23. I haven't done it since. I just turned 27 as well.
should be good if it doesn't prohibit you physically. I'd see a recruiter asap
ClaytonFilpo I greatly appreciate your response. Thank you.
US Navy MEPS waived me for lazy eye immediately but dinged me for psychological exam, something to do with being expelled from high school (personal issue with teacher, he told the school board i was a threat to the school and boom expelled, non violent, no drugs nothing) (didn't listen to my recruiter when she told me that never happened but i thought my record would be looked at anyways), and 5 mins with a Indian civilian psychologist i had to ask mutable times what she said. Sadly i didn't get waived for that ordeal.
wow . . . what was it like being stationed at the Pentagon itself?
i really like your vids, I'm planning on joining the marine corps when i graduate high school I'm currently in MCJROTC
I do enjoy how the guy who is bottom right is my buddy who I work with
had a kid slide down Aframe rope with hands only. no skin left
I've got a lazy eye and my recruiter said it wouldn't cause any problems. However, I have terrible depth perception....
would it be a problem in boot camp if a person has lower back problems and knee injury's
It could be, yes. Depends on the severity of your injury
i knew a dude with a lazy eye in the military, baseball hitem in just the right spot and one of his eyes is all sorts of messed up
I need to gain around 15 pounds to be eligible, my recruiter told me it would be helpful to go to all of the workout so I'll get hungry and help with my high metabolism.
Damn bro i live in md i go to the rss rockville i go to bootcamp on the 12th
jaber uchiha gl man! 2 more days! I have 2 more years but i cant wait
jaber uchiha I leave January 8th
Carolina Dippers mos?
Now I'm worried about the confidence course ....
I leave Sunday. feels pretty unreal.
knew I saw you in a video about new marine uniforms
Can you explain "drills" a little bit more. I'm sure you know people in the reserves and how their lives go better than I do.
Ya, I think I can get with one of my reservist buddies and make a vid
I wish awesome channels like this would get as many subcribers as they deserve.
Maaan, I hear that! :)
YOURE FROM THE CORPS REPORT HOLY SHIT
What job did you have in the military and did you enjoy it? What's the best way to choose a job you like and ensure you get it?
Nick Vanetten score high on the asvab and get 120 in whichever composite your mos coordinates with
Who leaves in october
Me
I do Oct 11
Oct 11th here
Oct 24th, san diego
Michael T good luck
And do u ever get a day off during boot camp or does it go on all week 24/7 for all 13 weeks
24/7. Technically you get sundays "off", but not at all. You still get messed with and you still drill.
Can you do another video on just marsoc info and how to get in please !:)
Love it!
U can join the marines with a lazy eye
Infantry YeYEET
lazy eye, yes. it can close some MOSs to u tho
Question! I ship out to Parris Island in 4 weeks. Whats the best way to make it through first and second phase of boot camp? Also, can I get stationed at the base that I want? If so, how?
Leo Rod left foot, right foot, repeat
I leave June 2018.
Zachary Sharrow alright!! Good job for choosing the USMC!!
what MOS do you chose?
juan pablo magadan talavera I’m enlisted as a 5811 Military Police.
For the Graduation I heard you can rent out cabins on the base . Currently aug 4 is the marine graduation I'm going to in San Diego. How far in advance do you think I should reserve just in case it takes longer for him to graduate?
How about allergies?
MasterDelgad0 depends on what kind.
Now when you say you miss boot camp, if your active do you have PT everyday?
If you're sick on day during boot camp what will happen
we still havent plaued
i leave for boot camp in 3 days im super excited
No one ever responds but if you happen to see this, how was it?
Aiming for recon
What happened to the hot pocket instructer after that "incident" did something bad happened or nothing
Nothin happened to him as far as I know. Probably just got a stern talking to
Hey first time viewer but I'm going to be enlisting in the marines I have a question to whether to go to a community college first and get a degree I plan staying to for at least two years but if so which is something courses or degree that can help me for it to jump straight over to the Marine core and help me further succeed there ? Please comment thank you
If you're going enlisted, don't get a degree. If you're goin officer, then hell ya go get a degree at a good school
I got extra bones in my feet and I'm missing a bone in each of my pinkie toes. You can't tell by looking at my feet and it hasn't given me problems in over 5 years. Is that going to be a problem at MEPS?
Also, at MEPS, do you have to give them all xrays taken in the past?
You should be good to go. Unless your recruiter says you should (which he/she probably won't) you probably won't have to show xrays at meps. Essentially, they just look you over once and ask you if you have any health problems (which you say "no" almost 99.99999999% of the time)
Thank you so much!
im going to meps thurs sep 29 so nervous 6 days left
alfredo Lopez it wasn't bad was it
no there were 9 people only 4 cadete officers me active marines and 4 reserve marines they were pretty cool good experience it was kinda fun
Can you give me tips on running and breathing while running.
Clayton this information is very helpful but when it comes to the asvab does that dictate what you'll do in the Corp?
Nopee. Not at all! Thanks for watching, man!
Yeah your welcome bro your the only person I trust to get advice and knowledge from than you for everything
I'm not an American citizen or a permanent resident but I plan to become a citizen and join the Marines but I plan to go to a recruitment office this summer and I want to know if the recruiter would talk to me
+James Cartwright if you're 17, ya
+ClaytonFilpo Awesome! Thanks a lot Mr. Flipo and also your awesome videography has me saving up for a new go-pro but much respect to you Sir!
my question is, what if you can't complete an obstacle? Like just can't do it physically?
You'll do it. There's nothing there that you can't do, I promise.
+ClaytonFilpo So do you build the strength for things during bootcamp? I can't climb a rope that high as of now. I just can't pull myself up.
You use your legs, not your arms. Trust me, dude. They'll teach you
+ClaytonFilpo Alright mate, thanks!
What if you take medication for A.D.D. so you could focus. Could you still take it while your in the military or you can't take it?
You wouldn't need it in the military.
You will learn to focus
Considering marine reserve too many ties at home to go active now I know reserve can pick their exact MOS my question is that me being located in Ohio and every MOS I want to do is out in California...Is there anyway I can get into my desired MOS and if so would I have to pay for my plane ticket or do they have some kind a travel voucher system "if it's in the budget"
I'm in the process of enlisting and I was lucky enough to have a decent sized base near me but there is only a few Reserve MOS. I had to just pick one that goes closest to what I want to do. But I'll be able to lock it in
do you have any story of when u first held a gun in the marines
im a poolee im like 18 lb over weight i cant do any pull ups and like only 5 push ups. im pretty scared :/ any advice?
solar sentuary start the workouts now it'll only make it easier
Branwhich98 i will thanks bro
solar sentuary if you are a poolee you should br participating in pool functions building somr strength
Yep every tuesdays and thursdays
solar sentuary you a senior?
Someone explain to me how you guys handled not using your phone everyday. Talking to your girlfriend. Watching TH-cam videos. Going through twitter. I would love to hear what you guys did or have to say.
You get used to it pretty quickly when you're life seems to mean nothing and you're getting constantly screamed at by a drill instructor. You forget all about phones and social media.
Really weird question. Will the BAH pay for a house rent?
Can I rent an apartment and have the BAH help me pay for it even when im not home?
+Joe Purmort Yes, but you have to be married or a Staff Sgt. And, you have to live within the BAH rate for your duty station. You can't go buy a million dollar house or apartment and expect to afford it.
ClaytonFilpo awww okay lmao thanks!
my middle name is clayton but the cool thing about this name is tarzan has clayton as his middle name... just saying
NUCLEARWARHEAD tell me something I haven't heard before
Hey Clayton I have a question.
What's the difference between Corrective Training and IT?
+Isaac Reaper Same thing. IT is incentive and Corrective is, well, corrective. But it's the same activities.
Clayton I know you're not that close but if you got your play button tomorrow what would the drill sergeant do if you were at boot camp and they sent you they button
I am fourteen and thinking of joinig at 20 and hopefully a sniper (im a damn good shot)
Should I contact a recruiter now or until I get fit? I played varsity soccer for my school and can run long distances but I'm skinny af. Would the recruiter wait til I get fit?
You're fine dude. Skinny does not mean you're not fit. I've seen more 'skinny' Marines then you can shake a stick at.
my IST run time was 16:29.. lmao
Golden Boy I ran a 9:54 lmao
what are your thoughts on joining the Marines at an older age (27). considering joining the reserves, would like to get some thoughts if it is worth it. Thanks!
Do it, man! Especially the reserves, it's fulfilling without having to do it every single day.
I'm interested in MARSOC. How do you get in it?
You can get in with any job in the Mairnes. However, you have to complete one enlistment first
+ClaytonFilpo im 27 can i still enlist
yes
Always request to get It
2019?
here
What kind of behavior, personality, or just mentality did the men of Recon and Marsoc have that you met?
+Derek Barrera Laid back. Chill. Funny. Liked to drink and talk about women. Pretty much the gist of it.
I've seen a bunch of your videos and there definitely helpful as hell, but my most important question is if I have a child and not married would I be allowed BHA?? I'm going to meps for the physical soon than off for bootcamp..
Yep yep, you'd rate the extra money to pay for your child's care.
505KINGZ24 have fun at MEPS 😭
Do you get to choose which boot camp you get to go example like San Diego marine corps boot camp
No. Essentially, if your'e east of the Mississippi you go to Parris Island. If you're west of the Mississippi you go to San Diego.
i'm in the process of enlisting i went over many details with my recruiter. but i cant do a lot of pull ups despite being underweight and i'm a little over the time limit on the run; like i just don't have enough upper arm strength. is there any way i can improve my pull ups and running? my main concern in boot camp is not being able to actually do and meet the physical requirements and getting everyone in trouble. Thanks in advance.
Power Gaming hey idk if this is still relevant to you or not but I’m a Poolee and when I first started I could only do like 4 pull-ups and I ran a 10:34 my first try. I started going to pt w the marines every day that they had it at the rss and now I can do 7 pull-ups and I ran a 9:54 on my last IST. You just gotta practice and work hard. I’m supposed to ship out in august
When you go to choose your job for the Marines do you most likely get the job you want
sometimes but other times it can put u in that general field. like if u sign up for military police you are not guaranteed to get it but something similar like a correctional officer.
Hey Clayton, when are you streaming again man ?
+TrapMarshall Escobar Mondays and thursdays at 9 pm est
What about your job if you want to do this job will you likely get it or will you have to get your second job that you wanted
I put down public affairs, then military police. Got my first choice.
+ClaytonFilpo, how did you lose the 80 pounds before boot? I'm 15, 6'0" and about 195 pounds and need to lose weight and gain muscle... any tips?
Low calories, lots of Protein
Badger Fishing Diet is the most important.
Any advice for a guy with a wife and kid ?
You get great benefits for your family in the military. Get a nice home close to base. Be prepared to spend the first 6-8 months away from your family due to training.
Md nice
isnt it 20 minutes chow now?
Longer. 30 minute minimum
Hey man I heard a rumor that active duty is filled what does this mean?
+Tyler Smith Doubtful. They left a lot of people go. They're always recruiting people.
When is the best time to go off to boot camp
Early fall
Hope I make it out of boot camp😀
maybe you answerd this before but, what mos did you sign up for?
Public Affairs
