I joined the Marine Corps in July of 2001, was at P.I. during 9/11, and I can honestly say that the G.I. Joe's cartoon heavily influenced my decision to join the military. Thank you for posting this video the day before the USMC birthday as it brings back some damn good memories. Keep up the good work, it's appreciated! OOH RAH Devil!
KILL!!! Never forget the yellow foot prints
He's the only G.I.Joe figure I dont have he's a true jarhead and thank you for posting this close to the U.S. Marine Corps Birthday 💪🇺🇸👍

My brother had the Leatherneck GI Joe action figure when we were very young! The GI JOE Sunbow series, the Rotten Egg was at his best, showing the Leatherneck is a great solider
My favorite Joe and you posted it the day before the Marine Corp birthday. Outstanding! Semper fi!🇺🇲
One of the best characters of all time
Leatherneck is one of my favorite G.I.Joe characters from 1986! When I was a kid, I had no idea that Leatherneck was also a drill sergeant until I saw the episode The Rotten Egg! Once I acquired my loose figures of Leatherneck, Sgt. Slaughter, and Beach Head with my Triple T Tank, I put all 3 of those figures with the Triple T Tank so I have 3 of the G.I.Joe Drill Sergeants to whip my Joe's in shape!
Great video Leatherneck is my second favorite Joe right behind Shipwreck.
Him and wetsuit always did love driving eachother bonkers with their friendly if vitriolic bbrotherly like rivalry they loved to fight
He was in the 2nd Marine Division, They were in WWII on Guadalcanal, Tarawa, and Tinian. On Tarawa they suffered heavy casualties from Japanese fire
Awesome video on Leatherneck! Keep em coming Jesse. Would love to see a video on Big Boa and Rocky Balboa. Semper Fi!
Do you know why Marines are called leathernecks?
During the VERY early 18th century, Marines were fighting in the Barbary Coast of North Africa fighting pirates. The Marines found out that by making high collared leather guards on their uniforms protected them from getting their heads cut off by swords and the term stuck, much like the name jarheads refers to Marine hats or covers being so tight on their heads that they have to screw them on like lids on a jar
Devil Dogs comes from Marine action in WW1 at the Battle of Belleau Wood in France where the Germans said that the Marines fight like devil dogs
I don't think the Marines ever had the rack of "tech Sergeant, the Army did at one time as well as the Air Force but I don't think the Maries ever did
Dustbin Lorry? Were they in England?
An M203 is a 40 mm grenade launcher mounted on the underside of a M16, You'd have to be VERY close to hit a helicopter with it
Why would you mount a night vision "Starlight" scope on a rifle you're shooting from the hip? It would've already been on the weapon, not mounted in the heat of battle
Pre-fabricated landing strips, like those used during WW2, don't do so well when landing jets as opposed to propeller planes. Paved or dirt strips are better
C rations are little better than dog food as is
When I was in the Army, we had a saying, What's the difference between as 2nd Lieutenant and a private E2? The private has been promoted once
DI- Drill Instructor
Hercs- C130 Hercules cargo planes
MG Machine gun, usually.30 caliber/7.63 mm or bigger
MRE Meal, ready to eat
RPG Rocket Propelled Grenade
HALO High Altitude Low Opening a way to land paratroopers without them being picked up on radar. Paratroopers have to carry oxygen tanks and masks to breathe at over 10,000 feet
Angels 20, 20,000 feet, However, most HALO jumps take place at no higher than 15, 000 feet
HNG Heavy Machine Gun, usually .50 caliber or 12.7mm
ROE Rules of Engagement. Orders that tell a soldier WHEN and on WHAT conditions they are only allowed to fire back at someone
Technicals civilian vehicles, usually pickup trucks, with machine guns or other heavy weapons mounted in the back. A "poor man's" gun truck
MARSOC US Marine Corps Special Operations Command
Tangos-targets
DPV Desert Patrol Vehicle. basically a dune buggy with guns
GMV Ground Mobility Vehicle, HUMMVEE or something similar. Larger than a DPV
Bravo Foxtrot-or BF an abbreviation for sodomy
Dust children- Vietnamese children born to American service members during the war
MBT Main Battle Tank, a large tank as opposed to the M4 Sherman which was a medium battle tank
Protect your six-protect your ass. cover the rear of the line of soldiers marching
The Rotten Egg was actually a spotlight episode for leatherneck what's notable is the main antagonist of the episode " Buck Mccann" might have been a spin on the name of leathernecks voice actor " Chuck Mccann"
Excellent video full of history and facts which I always enjoy learning. Thanks for a great video
Keep up the good work! Great channel.
The Joe's gunny, Gung-ho is badass but Leatherneck is a mean son of a....., great character, loved and hated by most, a great description of the Gunny during this video, always loved the interaction between him and Wet-Suit, a funny way to show the rivalry Marines vs Navy, thanks for the video, excellent job as always.
Another great one Jesse
The s!!t talking between Leatherneck and Wet Suit was one of my favorite parts of the cartoon!!!! Yo Joe!!!!
Oh i know right? They loved winding eachother up
If theres ome thing i cant stand its waiting
And if theres another thing incant stand its having to you to listen to you complaining about it ha
Ia it just me or do those 2 argue like an old married couple unresolved sexual tension wise.
They way the other joes played up their relationship all will they or wont they(kiss) like in that serpentor themed episode from season 2 all my favorote things ( the one where leather neck made it his personal mission to bring back serpentors head on a pike and got poisoned by his pet snake ibstead reaulting in wetsuit hubting down serpentor to collect saud snakes venom for antidote to save leathernecks life (and presumably to also prove himself to leatherneck as well (seriousely people lgbt bromance wise the. Plot practically writes itself)
I loved how Wet Suit addressed him as “Leather Wreck” in “My Favorite Things” episode.
I want powerhouse animation to make a brand new GI Joe animated series for Nickelodeon based on the Chuck Dixon Larry Hauma IDW comics
I can see that happening
I love that idea, we'll living in Springfield in no time, rubbing elbows with Cobra Commander.
Could you do Cesspool?
November 10 Happy Birthday Marines 💪🇺🇸👍
If you know the song sing along. From the Halls of Montezuma......
Never had the figure,but he does get things done.
Didn’t know they had Tech Sgt in the Corp....
I never heard of that either. Did some research and yeah, it was a thing.
I like the M-203 that he came with
Awesome
12:39 What the f*** are they doing going to nightclubs (and with dates!) dressed in their combat gear? lol Now this is the sort of thing that'd kill credibility for me.
Wetsuit actually went on a date wearing his actual wet-suit.
Remember him growing up
I like Gung ho better! But leatherneck was cool
Don't mess with this marine or he will kick your ass. 😀👍
I prefer Cartoon Leatherneck he's more developed there.
15:48 Okay V4 of Leatherneck it looks nothing like Leatherneck. I've heard people say that Leatherneck V3 looks nothing like Leatherneck while Leatherneck V3 is a bad figure I feel it dose look like Leatherneck just in a stupid outfit. But with Leatherneck V4 If it weren't for seeing the name on the package I never would've guessed it was Leatherneck
quicksilver? dontcha mean quick kick?
I caught that. When Í heard Quiksilver, I thought it was a Joe I didn't know.
If 4:34 ain't a description of every Gunny you served under idk what is.
Leatherneck probably didn't like his date in Joes Night Out cause he was hoping to go out with a certain other Joe he's always on Missions with.
