Slap is at 3:30. A Marine First Sergeant got accidentally slapped in the face by one of the MA-20001st AFJROTC cadets during armed inspection at Gloucester High School
Oh, that 3 seconds..... You can almost hear the marine's thoughts.... "He's a kid, no I can't kill him, no I can't beast him, yes he must feel pain, no I can't inflict it."
Your all funny not a single one of you can stand or hang with these men . Make jokes because truth is man vs man on a scale or integrity honor valor commitment disipline these men are everything all of you couldn't ever be .
Pure professionalism by a superb Senior Marine. The kid didn't do it on purpose. I am sure the Senior Marine had a moment to let him know that won't fly at boot camp.
Idk, my DIs were pretty drill oriented. I can imagine my Senior and Drill Hat completely ignoring the accident and continuing the drill. My Kill Hat would have probably just slapped me back, my Knowledge Hat would have probably slammed me considering he was a hotter head than the Kill Hat.
Cpl- Sgt is typically the most strict. They slowly mellow out as the gain more rank and time. Not saying they can't get pissed off just, it takes more.
literally every sergeant to master gunnery sergeant i have in my command are THE strictest ive ever met since ive been in the marine corps. experience the marine corps first before you say something like that that has really isnt true. cant sound insightful about something you really dont know about
eric davies maybe now but not when I went through. my first day of BCT was March 1 2010. He would've got jumped by the Drill Sergeants and smoked until he puked at least 3x.
@@elliot_08 it was an accident. Even higher ups know when to flex and when to show some class. The kid was nervous and it was an honest accident. Nothing malicious about it.
I mean it’s a high schooler in the jrotc program the kids are not actually in the military and it was clearly a mistake the kids also in airforce jrotc and in the airforce they’d probably let that slide but the dude inspecting him is in the marines which if he was in the marines he’d be screwed army like in the middle
I noticed that too. I'm not sure the kid fully realized what happened. I also noticed when the 1st Dgt. moved on to the next student, he ever so slightly moved his head back, too. Compared to other videos of Junior ROTC drill inspections (and they always seem to be by Marines), this 1st Sgt. is rather "quiet."
@@daniel_sc1024 The 1st Sgt. knew it was just an accident and didn't see any reason to go ballistic on the cadet, especially one still in high school. Also it's possible that he realized he was a bit too close so he should stand back a bit further. Just my guess though, but at least he didn't full out start screaming. Although I'm sure he gave the cadet some warnings when he was talking to him.
I was on Color Guard when I served in the Army. I was the tallest, so I was given the American Colors. During a military ball, I accidentally lifted the Colors too high, and the spade on top of the pole hit the ceiling and a shit ton of drywall and dust came down all over us. I didn't lose my bearing, and when it was over the Sergeant Major said he needed to speak to me in private. I was SHITTING BRICKS. As soon as we were alone, he started laughing hysterically and told me that it was one of the funniest fucking things he had ever seen, and that he was going to have to chew me out in front of my command team, but he wasn't actually mad. He then did proceed to give me one of the hardest ass-chewings of my life, but that was it. Nothing else bad happened, and when he was leaving he cracked a fucking smile at me. Good times.
I am a Color Guard Commander for my AJROTC school. This story gave me good laughs and all the stupid things I've done in front of my First Sergeant who also did Color Guard in the Army, and was head judge of competitions. He was a new instructor to our school, and I was a new cadet, chosen to be his little commander of the team. Lots of ways gone thru to practicing, competitions coming soon, and I'll bet you we'll hit 1st place. Lots of respect to you sir.

Your arm shoots up along side the rifle, while at the same time completely minimizing any "outward/forward movement of the arm".

I remember in Marine Boot Camp my DIs told us we have shown you how to do it properly. If someone is in your way that is their problem. If you notice the 1stSgt stands a little farther back on the next kid.
It’s a formal inspection guys, it’s called having bearing. Props to the kid for keeping his cool and following procedure. The only place i could see someone getting lit up for this is recruit training.

I'm in a color guard team for AFJROTC. During our last comp I did this exact same thing and inside I was flipping out. I never broke bearing and he didn't say anything. He inspected me and went on his way. As soon as my team finished we walked out and my commander went "I swear to god I thought you were going to die" Shockingly we ended up getting first place
In combat things are going to happen that you didn't plan for or intend. You're going to make mistakes that have consequences. How you respond to those events will determine the outcome of the engagement and the rest of your life. This fine Marine imparted that lesson to this cadet. This is why close-order drill is still relevant in a world of drones and cruise missiles. Even the Tomb Sentinels makes mistakes, but it is how they handle those mistakes that make them what they are. "Stuff" will happen, but don't lose focus on the mission and the men.
As an Army officer, we once got a request to send some NCOs and anyone else who wanted to get into the face of a bunch of these JROTC cadets at a meet like this. In front of their cadre, I shook my head and said, "No, I don't want my people giving kids a hard time, we train for fighting MEN, not children." The cadre just stood there dumbfounded, and one of the cadets behind them cracked a smile. As they turned away, I nodded to the one cadet who smiled and mouthed, "Yes sir" before he turned away as well. Frankly, I've never understood the appeal of giving a cadet a hard time to get your kicks off. Try picking on someone who can give it back!
As an NCO that used to train college ROTC in field operations. I agree. I never tried to humiliate or discourage them. I trained them hard but fair. I wanted them to learn. But still have a little fun. And be excited about their future in the ARMY.
That was no slap, he handed over the rifle and failed to ensure he was clear of the JROTC Cadet's movement. They are High School Students. That Sr NCO could have been much worse, but he could also have done a better job at being a professional, a Leader, and most importantly a Role Model for those young Americans. TM4MS
There are younger men than that, who died in service for the great wars. We train the willing to fight the willing. The will to fight in service of one’s country is what separates the men from the boys. If they want to wear a uniform and act the part then they have full obligation to get treated as the part. That just shows what caliber of officer you are.
My First Sergeant is cool, I've been this guy and have accidentally hit him with my rifle but he said, and I quote "Hey guy, we all make mistakes, and we all work them out, right?" That was the same day I ranked up to cadet captain
Remember this is HS JROTC... their job is to get these kids to keep looking at the Marines as a "cool job" after they graduate. Then after they enlist comes the "we got your a$$ now" moment.
@@robertlaw4073 exactly. If they destroyed them here they’d never get the kids to try to join. They save that for the real deal. JROTC kind of gets you into the mindset of becoming a square that makes shiny boots more important than being a warrior.
They are beasts, but they're also fair and just. You think he can't understand pure intentions and an accident? Also, I love how he remains in posture.
I ran into a Drill Sergeant one night in a terrific wind and sandstorm. Couldn't see sh**, sand in my eyes...stepped on his boot. I got to spit shine that boot for a week. He said the only reason I wasn't in the hospital was that he couldn't see either...
One of the recruits in my platoon hit the company commander in the face with the rifle during an inspection. He hit the officer hard enough that his nose was bleeding. The recruit did not survive RIP
True. Speaking of watching from a window, one of my favorite memories was spending my last few days in the barracks as a Marine (after crucible) and seeing the new platoons entering the adjacent barracks next to us on the second floor. This one fat kid got slayed so hard we thought he was going to have a heart attack. We just watched for hours as they screamed and ran back and forth for no apparent reason. Best night ever
Both of them exhibited exceptional military bearing here; the First Sergeant barely flinched when struck, and the Cadet kept his composure and carried on with the inspection.
I am in AFJROTC and inspection is stressful. You will see cadets cry, look around (which you should never do unless instructed), and sometimes even laugh. You always need to hope for a good inspector to take some stress away and slapping the inspector will make you just want to run away since that mistake can make your flight lose a fair amount of points.
The moment i saw that slap i almost cried.... i had dark disturbing flashbacks to getting smoked for the slightest eye movement and breathing at the wrong time....
My father attended military school as s child, so I knew the "Manuel of Arms" before being drafted in 1967. Because of that, I was selected as and Acting Platoon Sergeant and taught the rest of the company how to perform the exercise. Even today at age 80 I can still remember the drills.
I spun the wheel cap around on a Captain while reaching for the forestock of my Garand during a SAMI. It came to rest about 30 degrees off center and canted down about 15 degrees. Those in ranks behind me and to the sides could see what I had done and all of them stopped breathing for a moment. He just glanced over to the Sergeant and said, "Excellent rifle manual."
Definition of professionalism. He’s not there to demean or belittle he’s there to teach and knows this was an accident. He held position to see if the kid would lose bearing. If he did he would correct him. The kid didn’t, and he carried on. Either way, a teaching moment
Oh dang. I'm imagining if that was *my* first sergeant, First Sgt Green. Holy crap. High school kid or not I would be afraid. First Sergeant didn't like my attitude at one point. He called me in his office and calmly asked me if I wanted my ass kicked. My behavior was great the rest of the time I was in the Marines.
Back at Benning in '91 about 4 days into basic training, I was describing the size of targets on the range to one of my fellow recruits. As I spread my arms apart to indicate this, a short drill sergeant walked up behind me and I accidentally backhanded him in the face, knocking his glasses off. He dropped me into the push-up position but was so mad he immediately took me to my drill sergeant and told him to make sure I "come see him later", so he could kill me. I stressed it all day, and even asked my drill sergeant about it that evening, and he said "don't worry about it". I was relieved because I figured I would be dead from getting smoked all night. Thanks Drill Sergeant Spradlin at Echo 4th of the 30th.
This reminds me of when I went to Army basic last summer. It was day 1 and my Drill Sgt was aggressively showing me how to open an MRE box. When he stood up, his head gear brushed against my shoulder and then he he went from batshit crazy to calmly whispering in my ear: “touch it again and I’ll fuck you up into next week...”
Yeah speaking from my grandfather.. they either turn into a grenade and blow the fuck up scary like ... Or they go straight face hall of scary stare . Idk which one scared me worse but idk if I could handle them both at the same time man 🤣🤣
@@ryaneccles4546 calm Drill Sergeants are the scariest. You get used to the ballistic drill sergeants but when they’re eerily calm it’s extremely unsettling.
Known a few over my Navy career, always got that feeling that bullets just bounced off, also, keep your wives, daughters and grandmothers under constant guard
I was waiting for that Marine 1SG to layeth the Smackdown on the recruits candy ass LOL. Kudos to his composure, and in all fairness it was an accidental slap.
I accidentally tripped my platoon’s heavy greenbelt during a column right (i was in first squad). I just froze in place. He chewed me out but luckily for me he understood it wasn’t my fault and he gave me a pass
Huh? No, no. You got it all wrong, these are AFJROTC cadets (Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps) I'm within the Corps and these are armed inspections, they have no goal to become a Marine, yet. I'm not being rude about it, but they're only doing certain events that Marines sometimes come to.
Oh, that 3 seconds..... You can almost hear the marine's thoughts....

@James Estelle bearing is everything
Exactly
That was my though as well. Kid didnt't flinch.
He could probably see the look of death in his eyes and felt that an applicable punishment
Umm, it's *damned. 😉😉
Pure professionalism by a superb Senior Marine. The kid didn't do it on purpose. I am sure the Senior Marine had a moment to let him know that won't fly at boot camp.
Just as I hope a Senior Sergeant informed the First Sergeant to keep his distance next time they're doing drills, or risk the same thing happening.
Idk, my DIs were pretty drill oriented. I can imagine my Senior and Drill Hat completely ignoring the accident and continuing the drill. My Kill Hat would have probably just slapped me back, my Knowledge Hat would have probably slammed me considering he was a hotter head than the Kill Hat.
The way that the Marine leaves his head back for a couple seconds makes it even scarier...
It's air Force btw I just know because thts the uniform we wear in RO I don't like it so I know
Not to mention they're not screaming at the top of their lungs, and the fact the kid didnt die when he slapped the First Sergeant
Its like he paused for a moment to try and decide whose fault that was....
Yes!!!! Lol
It took him a second to decide wether or not he wanted to commit a murder.

In combat things are going to happen that you didn't plan for or intend. You're going to make mistakes that have consequences. How you respond to those events will determine the outcome of the engagement and the rest of your life. This fine Marine imparted that lesson to this cadet. This is why close-order drill is still relevant in a world of drones and cruise missiles. Even the Tomb Sentinels makes mistakes, but it is how they handle those mistakes that make them what they are.
"Stuff" will happen, but don't lose focus on the mission and the men.
As an Army officer, we once got a request to send some NCOs and anyone else who wanted to get into the face of a bunch of these JROTC cadets at a meet like this. In front of their cadre, I shook my head and said, "No, I don't want my people giving kids a hard time, we train for fighting MEN, not children." The cadre just stood there dumbfounded, and one of the cadets behind them cracked a smile. As they turned away, I nodded to the one cadet who smiled and mouthed, "Yes sir" before he turned away as well. Frankly, I've never understood the appeal of giving a cadet a hard time to get your kicks off. Try picking on someone who can give it back!
I know its only been 21 hours but this needs more likes.
As an NCO that used to train college ROTC in field operations. I agree. I never tried to humiliate or discourage them. I trained them hard but fair. I wanted them to learn. But still have a little fun. And be excited about their future in the ARMY.
You must have been one of them "you can thank me for my service now" kids lmao
That was no slap, he handed over the rifle and failed to ensure he was clear of the JROTC Cadet's movement.
They are High School Students. That Sr NCO could have been much worse, but he could also have done a better job at being a professional, a Leader, and most importantly a Role Model for those young Americans. TM4MS
There are younger men than that, who died in service for the great wars. We train the willing to fight the willing. The will to fight in service of one’s country is what separates the men from the boys. If they want to wear a uniform and act the part then they have full obligation to get treated as the part. That just shows what caliber of officer you are.
"four inches from your chest, Private Pyle!!" "Four inches"
😆
and he's still pushing concrete to this day....
He is so lucky he is just a cadet. lol
My First Sergeant is cool, I've been this guy and have accidentally hit him with my rifle but he said, and I quote
"Hey guy, we all make mistakes, and we all work them out, right?"
That was the same day I ranked up to cadet captain
Your first sergeant is a chaf
Remember this is HS JROTC... their job is to get these kids to keep looking at the Marines as a "cool job" after they graduate. Then after they enlist comes the "we got your a$$ now" moment.
@@robertlaw4073 exactly. If they destroyed them here they’d never get the kids to try to join. They save that for the real deal. JROTC kind of gets you into the mindset of becoming a square that makes shiny boots more important than being a warrior.
that wasn't a slap, that was more of a flick
Real life Private Pyle.
They are beasts, but they're also fair and just.
You think he can't understand pure intentions and an accident?
Also, I love how he remains in posture.
I gotta say, from my Marine corps life, this kid is good, that 1st sgt was waiting for the kid to lose bearing, and he didnt. Good job overall.
That was what I was taught in my AFJROTC unit as well by the enlisted instructor, "Never show that you've made a mistake."
@@Agent1W yea that's something a lot of the new cadets forget a lot
Slap was at 3:30 for your information.
you're my hero
3:31 to be exact... Lol
@@spindleforceengraving750 Thanks
Thanks
thank you
This is the calmest and quietest drill inspection I've ever seen
It was to the 1st Sergeant's satisfaction of this young man's presentation, that he was allowed to live on.
“Omg he’s so lucky!”
Pretty sure a 1stSgt in the corps can tell when a kid in AFJROTC accidentally hits him. Wasn’t even a slap lmao.
I wanted to see a Cadet get blasted by a 1stSgt of Marines. I left dissatisfied
Alexander Matador why tf would you want to see that
@@theA731N its entertainment
I’m so confused, he didn’t slap him he hit him with the gun
@@nicosbordi6814 NO HE DIDN"T. He caught his NOSE when he was CLEARING his RIFLE. And it's NOT A GUN you wuss ass civilian
And left DUMBER than when you came.
You know the First Sergeant was whispering the hardest threats and insults into the cadets ears when he leans over
Yeahhhh, that First Sergeant realized he had been too close. Good on him for that, and not blaming the kid (who did go significantly paler, lol).
I ran into a Drill Sergeant one night in a terrific wind and sandstorm. Couldn't see sh**, sand in my eyes...stepped on his boot. I got to spit shine that boot for a week. He said the only reason I wasn't in the hospital was that he couldn't see either...
One of the recruits in my platoon hit the company commander in the face with the rifle during an inspection. He hit the officer hard enough that his nose was bleeding.
The recruit did not survive RIP
***** I wouldn't know. They dragged him away in his alphas and slayed him for hours. He came back a different man. lolz
True. Speaking of watching from a window, one of my favorite memories was spending my last few days in the barracks as a Marine (after crucible) and seeing the new platoons entering the adjacent barracks next to us on the second floor. This one fat kid got slayed so hard we thought he was going to have a heart attack. We just watched for hours as they screamed and ran back and forth for no apparent reason. Best night ever
***** Oorah Semper Fi brother
Scuzz Brush Bulkhead!!!
Both of them exhibited exceptional military bearing here; the First Sergeant barely flinched when struck, and the Cadet kept his composure and carried on with the inspection.
I love how the Marine First Sergeant just steps back the second time he inspects someone.
legend goes that he's still doing PT to this day
Slap happened at 3:30
The title made it seem like it was on purpose but it was a tiny slap by accident
the first sergeant got slap at 3:29 if you want to skip :-)
Ba Vo THANK YOU!
De Bl you are very welcome
Thank you dude!
THANK U
Lmao that poor kid was probably scared to fucking death
It's scary how calm he is
3:30 for anyone wondering where it is, hardly a slap more like a scratch
I am in AFJROTC and inspection is stressful. You will see cadets cry, look around (which you should never do unless instructed), and sometimes even laugh. You always need to hope for a good inspector to take some stress away and slapping the inspector will make you just want to run away since that mistake can make your flight lose a fair amount of points.
I was so confused, he handled the slap so well I didn't notice it until the second time.
“You have chosen death”
That was a complete accident
MNTRUCKLORD nope not at all
It is just a kid.
what a grt guy instead of being a ass he stopped and made it a learning display and helped teach not tear a young school kid down. grt job
Legend says that cadet was drafted into the Marine Corps and into that 1SG's company only to be smoked several years later after this incident
You move past errors and carry on - I’m very proud of these young people 🇺🇸
The moment i saw that slap i almost cried.... i had dark disturbing flashbacks to getting smoked for the slightest eye movement and breathing at the wrong time....
How that young man lived through this, I will never know.
The boy who lived *literally*
The anticipation of an inspection is always terrifying but once your in it, it’s really not that bad.
A demonstration of true manliness.
Anyone else’s heart literally pounding before seeing the slap thinking a kid was going to die?
Afterwards he was assigned to dig new out houses.
I'm betting thst Marine knew it was an accidental tap, and had enough sense to treat it as such. It's JROTC, not Parris Island.
For anyone wondering and needing a time stamp here 3:31
My father attended military school as s child, so I knew the "Manuel of Arms" before being drafted in 1967. Because of that, I was selected as and Acting Platoon Sergeant and taught the rest of the company how to perform the exercise. Even today at age 80 I can still remember the drills.
I spun the wheel cap around on a Captain while reaching for the forestock of my Garand during a SAMI. It came to rest about 30 degrees off center and canted down about 15 degrees. Those in ranks behind me and to the sides could see what I had done and all of them stopped breathing for a moment. He just glanced over to the Sergeant and said, "Excellent rifle manual."
Marine: **Accidentally slap him**
Inspector: That’s okay, It’s an accident…
5:05 he learned his lesson
Yup I saw that
The kid did a great job of keeping military bearing in the face of danger...
Wow he showed great military bearing and self control.
Being a Drill Instructor I know exactly what went thru his head. Lol
Hes a kid, give him a break. It's the only one time he'll ever get to do it. 🇦🇺
Hes a Hight school STUDENT not a kid, get it right.
@@wolfhauzer3178 You too must be a kid if you think "high school student" is an age
@@fittysit-tea5287 NOPE. im in my late 20's
@@wolfhauzer3178 a high school student IS a kid.
I can't tell if that cadet held his hand out too far, or if the Marine leaned in too close.
Definition of professionalism. He’s not there to demean or belittle he’s there to teach and knows this was an accident. He held position to see if the kid would lose bearing. If he did he would correct him. The kid didn’t, and he carried on. Either way, a teaching moment
Breaking news, a JROTC cadet has just went on the run
Oh dang. I'm imagining if that was *my* first sergeant, First Sgt Green. Holy crap. High school kid or not I would be afraid. First Sergeant didn't like my attitude at one point. He called me in his office and calmly asked me if I wanted my ass kicked. My behavior was great the rest of the time I was in the Marines.
Lol rotflmao , yeah that would get my attention asap , lol
It’s almost like you can *feel* his fear when he did it
The moment his life flashed before his eyes
ohh r.i.p to that cadet right there
omg I would have died on the drill deck if it was me.
He took the longest time on that one trooper I've even seen in the four years I've ever seen.
Back at Benning in '91 about 4 days into basic training, I was describing the size of targets on the range to one of my fellow recruits. As I spread my arms apart to indicate this, a short drill sergeant walked up behind me and I accidentally backhanded him in the face, knocking his glasses off. He dropped me into the push-up position but was so mad he immediately took me to my drill sergeant and told him to make sure I "come see him later", so he could kill me. I stressed it all day, and even asked my drill sergeant about it that evening, and he said "don't worry about it". I was relieved because I figured I would be dead from getting smoked all night. Thanks Drill Sergeant Spradlin at Echo 4th of the 30th.
Nobody did anything wrong and nobody got slapped. Props to the cadet for maintaining his composure and bearing. SF
I'm watching from home and I think I pee pee a bit...
You could see him thinking "was I too close? Should I be pissed? Keep composure and move on I was probably too close."
I've been looking for one of these LMAOO AMAZING
This reminds me of when I went to Army basic last summer. It was day 1 and my Drill Sgt was aggressively showing me how to open an MRE box. When he stood up, his head gear brushed against my shoulder and then he he went from batshit crazy to calmly whispering in my ear: “touch it again and I’ll fuck you up into next week...”
Yeah speaking from my grandfather.. they either turn into a grenade and blow the fuck up scary like ... Or they go straight face hall of scary stare . Idk which one scared me worse but idk if I could handle them both at the same time man 🤣🤣
@@ryaneccles4546 calm Drill Sergeants are the scariest. You get used to the ballistic drill sergeants but when they’re eerily calm it’s extremely unsettling.
Yeah I can only not want to imagine my boy 😂😂
Oh my god poor kid when he got hit I was like oh shiiiitttt
I did that once and I am still peeling spuds to this day . That was 40 years ago .
So you're the Jeff Mullinix that Idaho made the state bird last year?
Known a few over my Navy career, always got that feeling that bullets just bounced off, also, keep your wives, daughters and grandmothers under constant guard
Nothing like a man in uniform 😁
I was waiting for that Marine 1SG to layeth the Smackdown on the recruits candy ass LOL. Kudos to his composure, and in all fairness it was an accidental slap.
They obviously aren't real recruits, they're just high school kids.
Theyre at attention at the beginning why the hell are they looking around???
Declaration of Independence They're actually just falling in.
His reaction immediatealy after was just like "Nope. Just...don't say a word"
It's funny to see some comments put time stamps on it when the description already has it.
anybody gonna mention the pfc being lost in the sauce?
NO................. FIRST SERGEANT
NO.......................FIRST SERGEANT
NO..........................................................................FIRST SERGEANT
I accidentally tripped my platoon’s heavy greenbelt during a column right (i was in first squad). I just froze in place. He chewed me out but luckily for me he understood it wasn’t my fault and he gave me a pass
It gives me hope seeing these young men dedicated to becoming Marines
Huh? No, no. You got it all wrong, these are AFJROTC cadets (Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps) I'm within the Corps and these are armed inspections, they have no goal to become a Marine, yet. I'm not being rude about it, but they're only doing certain events that Marines sometimes come to.
