The Marine Corps is the branch which changes your life and behaviors the most without a doubt. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I went a bit older at 23 and the Corps taught me so many valuable lessons I could never repay them enough.
As a boot USMC 2nd Lt.,. we were told at TBS, the life expectancy of a 2nd Lt on an amphibious assault was 8 seconds. The radio operator, 4 seconds. At that point in my life, i rarely feared death. Even in the VA ICU after a heart issue at 60, I joked with the vet who delivered the chow as he was 82nd airborne. Life is fleeting, live it to the fullest. Great Video! Semper Fi.
One thing I hated about the marine corps but am thankful for now is how they would always give us a light at the end of the tunnel and pull the rug out from underneath us at the last moment. Like returning to base after a hump and then walking right passed the barracks and turning back up a giant hill or thinking we were done for training for the night and having to run a range again with nvgs which would take forever. It really prepared me for a bunch of curve balls I've been thrown in life and have been able to just endure and keep moving on.
Semper Fi Marines! The Corps changed my life. I truly love you brothers and sisters, and at 62 I would give my life for you without any hesitation. Live each day as if you were still on active duty remembering you are a member of the greatest and deadliest warrior fraternity in history! God bless you and God bless our beloved Corps!
Wow i love this content. A lot of lessons to learn from Marines also from history like from Romans, Vikings, etc. No matter whether you wanna go in the military or not. It helps to develop your mindset for life ahead.
Number 11 hit me hard, Antonio. As a young guy going through life mostly on my own, it's tough. It's taken the wind out of me more times than I can count. In my case it's tough for me to reach out, heck, me writing about it right now might be the closest thing I've done to opening up about it. So thank you for reminding me and all other men watching that we have to be careful about what's inside what's between our ears and don't give up on ourselves. Thank you. Semper fi!
Hey my friend, reaching out is hard because relying on others to not let you down is hard. Life feels safe alone, but life is best when you do find the right people that lift you up. Keep going my dear internet stranger.
15:00 I remember when we went onto our first 3 mile forced March every recruit complained including me. Eventually we made it to 20 mile March. The last March we did was another 3 mile before heading back MCRD Pendleton. Man that was a cake walk and it was so quiet no one complained it felt like a nature walk. It finished as quickly as it started. I always harp to my friends your mind will give up before your body does.
Your statement of ""Take care of your people, and they will take care of you" rings true in all aspects of leadership. I tell all our incoming managers this is the number 1 rule of leadership. You sir have my respect. Semper Fi
I loved this video and was at my desk taking notes while I watched it. A little side story. I use to have a Marine that worked for me when I was a manager at my old job. When I was demoted and replaced by a buddy of the owner. He actually got upset about it. Later that very day he was talking to my boss in the office and actually defended me. He told my boss that I was a good leader and that the company was making a mistake by demoting me. My boss then said, "as a Marine you know who a good leader is and you need to understand I want someone who comes out of the whom with the ability to tell people what to do." My buddy then responded with, "that is total BS and as a Marine I think Matt is a good leader." Of course I took it as a compliment but at the time I didn't realize how much of a complaint that was but after watching this I am humbled by what he said now. I kind of want to reach out to him and thank him now for what he Said.
Great advice all around! Some years ago I was stuck in a rut at my job and it hit me. "How would a Marine handle this?" I dusted off the General Orders and USMC Values and started applying them to my life. Started taking more responsibility. After awhile, I started getting noticed by the higher ups and started getting promotions. Before I got to foreman, I started reading and implementing the USMC NCO and SNCO Creeds to help me lead others. I was a Corporal when I left The Corps. I feel now like my men respect me like a Gunny.
Antonio, your many current and former military followers does my heart good. As a retired Army LTC that started life as an Infantry officer, Follow Me is the motto of Ft Benning. In the private sector as in the military leading by example is a skill that pays dividends in morale among those under your care.
I'm a fellow Marine and have been out 20 years now because of a motorcycle accident. I absolutely love your channel ❤️. There's nothing like a fellow Marine giving you a boost ! I miss the Corps every single day. Some say your stupid ! But I tried for 5 years to get in and it took 3 to end it . But I am a Marine ! I take it to heart ... I earned every step. Thank you for what you do and thank you for your service! Semper Fi
"You wanna start a business? Great, you're gonna get close to bankruptcy..." When you hear this, you know this man actually started a business lol so true
I'm new to Antonio's videos mostly for the style coaching. I didn't realize he could go deep. This is so inspiring! He is so "no bullshit" and this video has great values AND such great perspective on judging people on who they are and living each day with love in your heart. Thank You, Antonio (good guy)!
One of the most difficult things I did as a grunt in the Corps (0341) was the various humps (forced marches) we did. I finished one 12 miler with a herniated disc in my lower back - I refused to fall out and get in the truck at the back of the company. I am proud of that hump to this day, when things get tough in life, I think back to my Marine Corps career. This was an excellent video, thanks for putting it together.
The saying, "the more you sweat in training the less you bleed in combat" was the saying I read in a book by Richard Marcinko? Marchinko? AKA The Rogue Warrior.
Man, I never served in the "GREAT UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS". I was raised in a Marines household, and everything you are saying is what was installed and emphasized in my home. With that being said, I appreciate everything I learned from dad, the love and the hard work he demanded from from me. Also, try out Clive Christian C and L.
When it comes to mental health the hardest part is getting the patient to admit that they “might” have a problem. Society seems to have little issue comprehending and relating to a person with cancer, diabetes and even HIV/AIDS. But mental illness is different. No one wants to think their brain is abnormal or that a problem even exists (though treatable). Asking for help does not denote a sign of weakness. Admitting you have an issue or that you MIGHT need help could save your life. There are at least 2 people who you can count on to help you discern a correct course of action, your doctor and your priest (or spiritual advisor). Never be afraid to reach out and ask for help!
Anthony, This is spot on. The lessons that I learned as a young lieutenant in 3/1 at Camp Horno and overseas were crucial to my success later in life. S/F, John
I have always been inspired by the Marine Corps. Since the beginning of my college days, I have been a regular viewer of this channel. I believe this video by Antonio is the most significant one till date.
I know you touched on it, one of my favorite sayings. Leadership is not being in charge, It is about taking care of the people in your charge. Semper Fidelis.
Thank you for this video! I was raised with a Marine mindset by my father. Sadly after he passed I lost my way. This video has reminded me what I was taught by him and that I still have it all inside me to be the man he was trying to mold me into. Thank you for this blessing of unlocking this knowledge again
Some time ago I came here for the style content. Now I am staying here for the real stuff. Love that you go beyond fashion and actually provide some guidance and lessons here.
Well you are right about at least one thing, life is short now being 73 years old. I was in the marine corps reserves and I did learn many of the life lessons you talk about. However I was also in sales all my life, and I learned communication skills to get my message across better in a nonmilitaristic fashion.
3/1 Adjutant? Very cool. 1/1 S2. Running and humping in Camp Horno... indeed those 10 mile and working up to 30 mile definitely required a mental adjustment. One lesson I learned from SSgt Kennedy back in the day: Mind over Matter! If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. Semper Fi Antonio...thanks for the great tips on mindset!
Silver bullet you referenced is a thermometer in the butt when you go down; they want to rule out/in heat related matter (exhaustion or stroke). When I went through Marine Corp OCS in 1982 and 1983 respectively, I witnessed this and was glad it wasn’t me. Like you, I am an entrepreneur who started a business, but mine is in medical equipment. Left the Corps as a Captain (resigned my commission) and went into Pharmaceutical sales, worked my way up the food chain, and many years later started my own business. Love you program and I follow many of your fashion principles, but I always make sure my clothes are clean, pressed, fit well, and my gig line is always perfect (all day). Semper Fi.
You made me smile when I saw silver bullet lmao. I would warn my guys but if they didn't listen...well you know. Drink water, change your socks and take motrin Semper Fi
I howled when he mentioned the 10 mile forced march "I wanna die!". Same happened to me in summer 1976 OCS hill trail, Quantico - and I forgot all about till now. I was back at the little end of the entire formation - humping a folded up stretcher along with my weapon and gear - accordion effect on full blast. I recall thinking "I wanna unfold this stretcher and die on it". About 6-7 miles in a Sgt Instructor said to some nearby, weak candy ass at the end of a 5 minute break "get the fuck up. that candidate humpin that stretcher ain't sniveled a bit. Or d'you want to carry it?" I floated along weightless the rest of the way under all that trash. That Sgt Instructor then said to me "good job candidate". I was so gassed that I completely forgot about that hump.
Liked the limited life comments, since Im 74. Still doing it as best I can, things people shought I shouldn't be doing at my age. Love the Marines! And it's always been their uniform and one of many mottos "First To Fight".
Antonio, I am 66 a retired police officer. This is GOLD!! I am now a police Chaplain RCMP, and still follow these truths. Thank you for you service. Thank you for your wisdom!!
@@RealMenRealStyle Hi Antonio, Have a question. Have you done any videos on types of things a man should get for his birthday or something his lady should get for him on his birthday?
Really enjoyed this! Even though I'm in the Air Force there are many things I have learned and continue to learn in my military career. This has not only made me a better SNCO, but also a better father and husband. Always enjoy your videos and Semper Fi!
Rah Sir! Great vid! Was hoping to see something like this from you. Navy RP, was green side for a while with 2/7, 1st Tanks, and 15th MEU. Thanks for bringing up the suicide lesson. More people need to hear it.
The Corps taught me so many lessons. If I could impart just a few to the civilian world they would be: Be where you're supposed to be, doing what you're supposed to be doing, to the best of your ability. And be on time.
Another great video! The 11th lesson was a wall slammer but it was most definitely needed to be discussed especially in todays society. Thank you Antonio 💯
This was inspiring. These lessons are truly valuable, and I would add one more piece of advice on too of the others: "practice". You've heard this previous advice, now it's time to put them into practice
Can you please do a video for Marines that have been out for over 20 years , but have not kept up the life style and discipline, but would like to get it back ? I have a 8 year son now and need him to see his dad as a Marine and not what I am now / become . I love my brothers with all respect, but find it hard to get the mindset back with my current work/life situation.
As a retired Senior Chief in the Navy, I had a similar situation with an Ensign trying to change things unnecessary. Well I'm open to new ideas from everyone, some of the stuff he was asking was far from the mission.
I loved the video. As a retired Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant I especially loved hearing an Officer talking so candidly about us. Only slight thing I think you possibly could change is to remind women that most of these life lessons pertain to them also. Not exclusive to men. Semper Fi Devil dog!
My dad (former AF pilot) has always had a favorite saying. Especially when we (his kids) hit our hardest times: "Keep Marching". One foot in front the other and never stop.
After the state of young men in our generation I say 2 year mandatory service for all men over 18. They will learn a lot more than going to some bs safespace college not to mention avoiding crippling debt that they expect other people to pay.
Playing call of duty and watching war action movie had a legit positive impact on me. If legions exist, it's the military. Rip to all those who gave it all ❤️
Top-notch channel. I used to watch this guy in my early teenagers and then I stopped following him. Now that I look back, a lot of the channels I was watching in those days don't make videos anymore. Delighted to see this guy is still delivering disciplined, high-quality content.
Great video! Becoming a US Marine at age 19 in 1969 was probably the smartest thing I've ever done. It helped me in so many ways, I can't list them all. Probably the BEST, however, was realizing a 5'6", 130 pound 'boy' became a 'man' and could do things he never imagined he could do! OOOOO-Rah! Semper Fi! CWO4 USMCR [Ret]; 17 February 1969 - 1 August 2004
12:08 this is very important to have leader who is ready to roll his sleeve and get his hands dirty without being too proud of his leader position. Classic example is the Israel Armed Forces. They have a rich history that dates back thousands of years, and the military leaders have always played a critical role in defending their country and people. The concept of a general leading their troops into battle, as depicted in the Bible during the Davidic era, is deeply embedded in the Israeli military culture. It is not uncommon to see Israeli generals on the front lines, leading their troops with courage, determination, and a deep sense of duty. This type of leadership instills confidence in their soldiers, and their presence in the battlefield serves as a testament to their commitment and bravery. The Israeli Armed Forces' success is a testament to their strategic approach to warfare, coupled with their unwavering determination to defend their country and people, which has earned them the respect and admiration of military leaders around the world.
4:00 While it may sound dull-witted and daring, that is one of the most sapient outlook on life one can have. Jesus teaches us that if anyone forces us to go one mile, we should go with him two miles. When you are being forced to endure the suffering, your autonomy is being taken away from you and your opponent is in the preponderant position. But if you choose endure the suffering on your freewill, you are virtually taking back the ownership of the situation from your opponent, rendering them subservient.
Antonio, I have trouble swallowing pills but Ritual sounds great. You mentioned they are minty and taste great. Are they chewable? I can't be the only one with trouble swallowing pills, Would that/could that be a topic for a future video? I'm 63 and overweight. You have encouraged me to take better care of myself. So, for the last month, I have been swimming 45 minutes 3 to 4 times a week. Thanks for your motivating videos! (David)
Thank you for this video Devil Dog! I want to write that everyone needs to know and understand this; It is statistically known that you make it more probable for a close family member or a close friend to commit suicide if you kill yourself, especially your children. This should be taught at an early age and should be reiterated throughout life. Knowing that there’s a good chance someone you really care about and love is more likely to follow in your footsteps and kill themselves if you go through with it. Maybe there’s a better way to write about this but this should be common knowledge.
I don't know how I got to this video, I was watching F-15 videos lol. But this is really good. I have been in aviation maintenance for 24 years as active in civilian on fighters. I feel like this should be shown to all officers. And this actually is representative of how several of the last couple of 1st lts that were my bosses in my F-16 phase dock.

Sir, I checked into L 3/1, after SOI qtr2 1988. May I know your company
The Marine Corps is the branch which changes your life and behaviors the most without a doubt. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I went a bit older at 23 and the Corps taught me so many valuable lessons I could never repay them enough.
Ditto at 21 though.
I agree, joined when I was 24, felt like an old man.
I’m 28 Turing 29 I’m at the age limit but they say I can get a wavier
@@nicholasleon787 I’m 27 and I want in. I don’t have much time left.
As a boot USMC 2nd Lt.,. we were told at TBS, the life expectancy of a 2nd Lt on an amphibious assault was 8 seconds. The radio operator, 4 seconds. At that point in my life, i rarely feared death. Even in the VA ICU after a heart issue at 60, I joked with the vet who delivered the chow as he was 82nd airborne. Life is fleeting, live it to the fullest. Great Video! Semper Fi.
One thing I hated about the marine corps but am thankful for now is how they would always give us a light at the end of the tunnel and pull the rug out from underneath us at the last moment. Like returning to base after a hump and then walking right passed the barracks and turning back up a giant hill or thinking we were done for training for the night and having to run a range again with nvgs which would take forever. It really prepared me for a bunch of curve balls I've been thrown in life and have been able to just endure and keep moving on.
Semper Fi Marines! The Corps changed my life. I truly love you brothers and sisters, and at 62 I would give my life for you without any hesitation.

I remember when we went onto our first 3 mile forced March every recruit complained including me. Eventually we made it to 20 mile March.

Before I got to foreman, I started reading and implementing the USMC NCO and SNCO Creeds to help me lead others. I was a Corporal when I left The Corps.

Possibly the best video you have ever made not relating to fashion.

I was just promoted to management. This is invaluable. Ty!
I really appreciate this video. Most of the things I know already, but a good reminder is always welcome.
These are great but I have seen that being calm in the face of chaos has been a defining difference between others and myself
Thanks Antonio. This is one of my favorite videos.
As a retired Senior Chief in the Navy, I had a similar situation with an Ensign trying to change things unnecessary. Well I'm open to new ideas from everyone, some of the stuff he was asking was far from the mission.
I loved the video. As a retired Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant I especially loved hearing an Officer talking so candidly about us. Only slight thing I think you possibly could change is to remind women that most of these life lessons pertain to them also. Not exclusive to men. Semper Fi Devil dog!
From the heart
Out of all of the videos you’ve made it must have been very cathartic but well put together and to listen and watch
My dad (former AF pilot) has always had a favorite saying. Especially when we (his kids) hit our hardest times: "Keep Marching". One foot in front the other and never stop.
Thank you.
After the state of young men in our generation I say 2 year mandatory service for all men over 18. They will learn a lot more than going to some bs safespace college not to mention avoiding crippling debt that they expect other people to pay.
Thank you for your service Antonio. Semoer Fi!
Semper Fi!
Great to hear from you again! Semper Fi Sir! Appreciate your videos, tips, and advise! Stay healthy!
Dude, you’re a marine?! Been watching your fashion/style videos from way back (on and off) and just learned this now. Amazing, and much respect!
Oh wow, I was also 3/1 Lima back in 2013-2017! I’ve been watching your channel for months and just found this out haha
Playing call of duty and watching war action movie had a legit positive impact on me. If legions exist, it's the military.
Rip to all those who gave it all ❤️
Gobs of wisdom and knowledge! Lots of thanks for this one!!
Thank you for sharing your experience and the continued mentoring over the years Antonio.
The Marines taught me that as soon as I want to quit, that's when progress starts happening.
Top-notch channel. I used to watch this guy in my early teenagers and then I stopped following him. Now that I look back, a lot of the channels I was watching in those days don't make videos anymore. Delighted to see this guy is still delivering disciplined, high-quality content.
Great video!
Very useful advice with practical applications for all areas of life.
Thanks for being always a good voice for young men
Hoka Hey Kola, 12 lessons for life and subscribed. Carry on Marine.
Great video! Becoming a US Marine at age 19 in 1969 was probably the smartest thing I've ever done. It helped me in so many ways, I can't list them all. Probably the BEST, however, was realizing a 5'6", 130 pound 'boy' became a 'man' and could do things he never imagined he could do! OOOOO-Rah! Semper Fi!

12:08 this is very important to have leader who is ready to roll his sleeve and get his hands dirty without being too proud of his leader position. Classic example is the Israel Armed Forces. They have a rich history that dates back thousands of years, and the military leaders have always played a critical role in defending their country and people. The concept of a general leading their troops into battle, as depicted in the Bible during the Davidic era, is deeply embedded in the Israeli military culture. It is not uncommon to see Israeli generals on the front lines, leading their troops with courage, determination, and a deep sense of duty. This type of leadership instills confidence in their soldiers, and their presence in the battlefield serves as a testament to their commitment and bravery. The Israeli Armed Forces' success is a testament to their strategic approach to warfare, coupled with their unwavering determination to defend their country and people, which has earned them the respect and admiration of military leaders around the world.
4:00 While it may sound dull-witted and daring, that is one of the most sapient outlook on life one can have. Jesus teaches us that if anyone forces us to go one mile, we should go with him two miles. When you are being forced to endure the suffering, your autonomy is being taken away from you and your opponent is in the preponderant position. But if you choose endure the suffering on your freewill, you are virtually taking back the ownership of the situation from your opponent, rendering them subservient.
Outstanding video. Great life advice.
One of your best videos Antonio. Love it!
Wow, thanks!
Awesome content. Thank you Sir for such a great explanation and especially the very lats part about the “voices”. Semper Fi🇺🇸
After I lost 200-lbs, the way people treated me caused something like stepping into a whole new world. The halo effect is real.
Antonio, I have trouble swallowing pills but Ritual sounds great. You mentioned they are minty and taste great. Are they chewable? I can't be the only one with trouble swallowing pills, Would that/could that be a topic for a future video? I'm 63 and overweight. You have encouraged me to take better care of myself. So, for the last month, I have been swimming 45 minutes 3 to 4 times a week. Thanks for your motivating videos! (David)
SFMF! Brother. Did not know you were a Son of Horno, the Projects of Camp Pendleton. I served in 1/4.
Love this video so much. I’ll save it and watch it again.
Amazing content brother. Highly appreciate the subjects discussed. Thank you
E-4 over here! Semper Fi sir
Good video . Semper Fi .Well spoken!
Thank you for this video Devil Dog!
I want to write that everyone needs to know and understand this; It is statistically known that you make it more probable for a close family member or a close friend to commit suicide if you kill yourself, especially your children. This should be taught at an early age and should be reiterated throughout life. Knowing that there’s a good chance someone you really care about and love is more likely to follow in your footsteps and kill themselves if you go through with it. Maybe there’s a better way to write about this but this should be common knowledge.
Great video, Semper Fi Marines! Camp Lejeune French Creek Supply Battalion (Ammo Tech) 1984-1988
Great video, pretty much the way I ran my life. I got promoted in the Army because of the way I acted and pushed my self.
i loved this video man, thanks!
Absolutely 💯 Positive Content. Very Well Explained.
Thank you sir!
Another valuable lesson, attitude is everything.
Great video Marine! Semper Fi!
Mental hygiene is underrated!

3/1 Balls of the Corps, Semper Fidelis!
I love the US Marines. From a UK citizen.
Semper Fi! Always good info here.
3/1!!! Balls of the Corps!!!
I served in the SUCK from 1965 - 1977 including 3 tours in Vietnam. The Silver Bullet is cold can Coors lol
great vid, been following since you had like 3000 subs
I don't know how I got to this video, I was watching F-15 videos lol. But this is really good. I have been in aviation maintenance for 24 years as active in civilian on fighters. I feel like this should be shown to all officers. And this actually is representative of how several of the last couple of 1st lts that were my bosses in my F-16 phase dock.
