The Air Force team is my favorite, they have a kind of swagger. They start out by encouraging the crowd to cheer to show that their focus won't waiver.
The Coast Guard most definitely counts. They conduct law enforcement and search and rescue operations in US waters, but they also deploy overseas. In fact, the U.S. Coast Guard has served in every conflict that the United States has been in since World War II. The landing craft that carried soldiers to the shores of Normandy were operated by Coasties, and so were the landing crafter used to transport Marines Iwo Jima and Okinawa. A Coast Guardsman received the Medal of Honor for action while extracting Marines off of Guadalcanal. The Coast Guard conducted blockades of the coast of Vietnam to stop supply chains to the Vietcong. They also used their patrol boats to patrol narrow rivers and canals, many Guardsmen saw action in Vietnam. Their primary duty in the Korean War was port security and conducted the same mission in both the first and second Gulf Wars. So yes, they do count.
The fact that they can do all those moves with 10 lb M1 Garands is impressive. Also, the USAF drill team doesn’t mind if the crowd cheers and makes noise.
Sam Hopkins I’ve shot an M1 and they are heavy bastards. I, at 5’6”, got bucked around by the recoil, 30-06 is no joke. I found the M1’s little brother more enjoyable
@@maxwellharris507 Are you referring to the M1 Carbine as the ' little brother ' . My grandpa carried an M1 Carbine in the Korean War as a truck driver .
This brought back memories. In high school my dad was stationed to Washington, DC at Bolling FAB. Is where the team is based. A good friend of mine was on the team. As an Air Force kid, the drill team and flight show (Blue Angels, Golden Eagles) was a real highlight. Billing now is called Joint Base Bolling (Navy and Air Force). 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
It is funny. I was in the USAF for 20 years and only fired am M16 twice in my own career. ( I never fired a gun ever before or after since I retired in 2002). First in Basic Training with a 22 Round. I had 29 Bullets on the firing range and received an awarded MARKSMAN SHIP MEDAL for scoring high on the Firing range. The Range instructors counted the points and I went above the cut off for that Medal and they gave me my Target to take back to the Barracks for my personal achievement. Once I got there I counted the Holes in my Target. There were 33. LOL. An idiot on either side of me was firing at my target and helped me over the top. My Last time firing an M16 was in a room with a projector and Laser fired. about two years before I retired. If I had to use a rifle in combat ( and I was in a COMBAT COMMUNICATION SQUADRON) I probably would have shot myself. But I loved serving n the USAF. I miss it still. It was an Honor to serve. Eglin AFB Florida, 5 years in South Korea, 6 at Okinawa, 2 years at the Pentagon and 5 Years with the Georgia Air National Guard and later worked for the US ARMY HQ Command ( Telephone Communications Network ) as a Contractor for 7 years in Baghdad, Iraq. Camp Victory. Al Faw Palace. GO AIR FORCE people. The Technology Schools are excellent for a future Career.
Just so you know the Air Force was the only branch that keeps the bayonet on while throwing the rifles when I was there. I was on that same Drill Team in the 90’s.
I was USAF honor guard from 94 to 95. It's just practice. You could do it if you can lift an M1. I did mainly funerals. Gun salute. Stuff like that . But sometimes there was a parade coming up and you had to train for drill team. Basically you just do the moves all day for months.
Great video and great reaction...my son is in the AirForce stationed in San Antonio, Texas and about to be shipped to South Korea in May✈✈AirMan Evans...God Bless and protect all of our servicemen!!
Having grown up in an Air Force family, and spending long periods of my childhood on Air Force bases, I've had the pleasure of watching various Air Force drill teams performing in person over the years. ALWAYS impressive. I've never actually watched the Coast Guard drill team, so I would be curious to see them as well.
Excellent video, another reason that I am so proud to be an American. My father was in the Air Force and this display here and the ones by our other branches are a true reflection of all the hard work and sacrifice our troops and veterans have gave for our country, bless you all
My father joined the coast guard 1958 and he was stationed at St. Simons island for several years. Ran the office, underwater welder and of the course the normal everyday job, search and recuse. He loved it .
@@kimberlyparrish7522 I salute your father . I was navy . We once did drug interdction ops in the Caribbean with a CG Drug team , and caught a smuggler .
The Air Force won the drill competition, what you most likely noticed different that you did not realize, they did all of that with an 18 inch knife on top of each rifle.
They looked great! Course I’m very partial as my dad was Army Air Corps during WWII. BTW Courtney. The US Coast Guard IS a branch of the US Militatry. 😺
USCG Helicopter rescue swimmer AST A school 131-19 is a great class video to watch on some of the training and highlights of the greatest disaster rescue service there is
The Air Force wasn't established until after WWII, when they split off from the Army. The Army, Navy and Marines had at least 100 years to come up with an exhibition as entertaining.. That show was outstanding!!
You should have a review of the US Coast Guard honor guard. Yeah, yeah I'm sure people are gonna say, their not part of the US Military. However, under 14 U.S.C. § 3 as amended by section 211 of the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2006, upon the declaration of war and when Congress so directs in the declaration, or when the President directs, the Coast Guard operates as a service in the Department of the Navy.
I would love to see a Coast Guard drill team; my Father was in the Guard. Their primary job is search and rescue and patrol US shores. One story he told me he was posted on (one of the few) boats that had a gun on it. They (CG) weren't focused in offensives tasks and therefore not thoroughly trained on weapons. When a foreign ship got to close to US shores the went to fire a warning shot and accidentally blew off the top of their own boat. FYI the best CG assignment is at Lake Tahoe NV/CAL.
Hi Courtney, I think you watched the best..They were so tight and exact with almost robotic movements. Thank you for this please keep re-acting you are the best!!
I stumbled onto your channel and have stayed to watch all the Drill teams also watched the Tomb of the unknowns really am hooked also love your reactions
The Marines have the best uniforms, no doubt. But that USAF Honor Guard Drill Team just rocks. All members toss their M-1 Rifles into the air (double side spin), wow! Marines can’t touch that.
Courtney, you get it. Dang girl, I tear up too. Our (talking about all the western countries) armed forces are awesomeness. We don't give them the appreciation they deserve.
Being a U.S.A.F Vet myself, I must say I am biased in my favorite of the drill teams (*hint* it's the U.S.A.F.) Although I think the U.S.M.C has the best service dress of the branches I still love the U.S.A.F. Drill Team. I have been waiting on you to react to the A.F. one, just didn't know which video you were going to react to. I still think the one they did at the Norwegian Military Tattoo in 2012 is among the best. Thanks for this though. United States Air Force, 1999-2011.
I'll tell you - and this is coming from an Army veteran. While each branch gives crap to each other, everyone agrees that the Coast Guard is the red headed stepchild of the US military. React to them at your own peril!
That was a very impressive exhibition.Re;Coast Guard...This branch of our military is the lesser known of the branches,but should still be considered.They provide the protection of America's coastlines.A very vital branch.
Hello Courtney ! After making a USCG Drill Team reaction , could you possibly react to the flight demonstration teams ? I'm speaking of the US Navy Blue Angels and the USAF Thunderbirds , and for our northern cousins the Royal Canadian Air Force Red Arrows . There also the parachute demonstration teams US Army Golden Knights and US Navy Leapfrogs. Thanks !
Thank you Courtney. Now you know why I was so anxious for you to see them. I knew you would really enjoy them like I do. I might be biased since my brother was in the Air Force and I am a proud sister, but also they had bayonets on all their rifles the whole time.
I was on the USAF Drill Team in 2002. The USAF has by far the best drill team, and any time there is an inter service competition the USAF wins. The training to get on team is 3 months long of intense training 10+ hours a day and more training on the weekends. The end of training is an evaluation, and only about half the class that just did months of training will pass and make it onto the Drill Team. It is a small group and by far the best in the world. Thank you for watching and I hope you can see a Future team in person, it is amazing. If you look for older videos, the USAF Drill Team fired blank rounds at the end of the performance, sadly that ended in 2002.
So you understand, the Marines are still under the Department of the Navy and the Air Force was born from the Army. As someone that served on an Air Force Honor Guard, I assure you, each branch does the duty with great fortitude and honor. It's a privilege to serve, but a greater privilege to serve those that serve with you.
@@CourtneyCoulston mine was base level. This team is Air Force wide. The best of the best. You asked why so crisp, the AF is so attention to detail oriented it is ridiculous. All branches are detailed, but when making sure you cover those in the field with absolute accuracy it filters down. Your bf is aware of that if he served in combat and needed air support.
*Is there another military in the world that has drill teams as sharp our the United States Drill Teams, not even close!!* *We celebrate all our men and women in uniform, they are exceptional patriots and defenders of our values in freedom and our liberties that God has given us!!* *Thank you Courtney for sharing this video that makes us even more proud of our military!!*
And throwing there weapons in there air is so impressive because they have bayonets at the end of them and they need to train for months even a whole year to perfect this
Courtney I've several of your videos for the first time this morning and I have enjoyed them however you need to do a react video on the PBR worst wrecks.
Each branch's drill team has it's own qualities, and all of them are unique to their branch of service. I am ex Air Force, however I don't think any of the other branches can compare to the Marine Corps Silent Drill Team, and I've seen all the branches teams in person.
Thank you for your sincere appreciation. And it's not nerve racking to them at all. Every one of those men trust each other with their very lives without question. Duty and honor
*PASSING THE WEAPON BACK AND FORTH AND AROUND ABOUT WAS SPECTACULAR!!* *AND THE TOUCHING OF THE BANKNOTE ON THE BACK OF THE INSPECTING OFFICER WAS AN ADDED BONUS!!* *WAS BEAUTIFUL IN EVERY SENSE!!! ;-)* *I'VE NEVER SEEN ANY OTHER NATION WITH THEIR COMBINED BRANCHES HAVING A DRILL TEAM, THE U.S. IS THE ONLY ONE THAT i KNOW OF!!* 👏 👏 👏 *
You should react to bootcamp for all the other branches starting with either Air Force or Army. 👌🏽 P.S.- Love your videos & I hope you're staying safe. 😁💛
The difference between the af and usmc is most af don’t qualify on the range. You could toss the marines a bunch of magazines and have several rifle teams ready to rock. Can’t even be a secretary in marines without qualification on the range.
Haven't seen a reaction video to the Blue Angels or the Thunderbirds yet. Here is a link to a rare air show they did together. th-cam.com/video/DlYRorQVxXs/w-d-xo.html. BTW, the Blue Angels are US Navy and the Thunderbirds are the US Air Force
How soldiers are injured in each branch Marines - IED's, RPG's, and Gunfights Army - see above Navy - Drowning and see above Air Force - Choking on a shrimp in a air conditioned mess hall.
I stumbled onto your channel and have watched all the drill team videos and also your reactions to the Tomb of the unknowns and now I'm hooked love your reactions so heart felt
While it is loaded with symbolism, this is more something to put on a show and impress everyone with what they can do, so it's generally okay to cheer them on. It's not a solemn ritual like the changing of the guard.
I'm not sure if you're interested in American History but if you are, you should watch "Civil War: American History in HD" From: McKeow Tube. It focuses on the American Civil war from 1861-1865.
The Air Force team is my favorite, they have a kind of swagger. They start out by encouraging the crowd to cheer to show that their focus won't waiver.
I’m a current member of the USAF Honor Guard Drill Team. Thank you so much for doing this video, I’m glad you enjoyed the team!!
Yeah Robby!! Hell yeah! GO AIR FORCE!! HUA!! Go get some!! 👍👍👍

The coast guard is part of the department of homeland security so no, it doesn't count
Rodney Griffin and now for the Space Force
I still think the Air Force is the best. At the ending, the Marine Corps' reaction was like what did we just witness.
The Air Force won the drill competition, what you most likely noticed different that you did not realize, they did all of that with an 18 inch knife on top of each rifle.

That was at the Jefferson Memorial in Washington DC. In case you were wondering.
ohhh ok I didn't know that
Spot on, and the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial are an easy walk from there.
Ah, I thought it was the Lincoln Memorial and the water behind them was the reflecting pool. It's been a while since I've been to DC.
The Air Force Honor Guard drill team will do drill moves that no other branch can pull off! 😎👌

True!

They handle those rifles pretty well for a branch of the military that really only uses them during basic training. ;) (and guard duty) :D
Good reaction. You're right. They're all good. And, yes, the Navy drill team routine was spectacular.
I am not too sure that I could be 100% impartial since I am retired Navy. But these fly fly boys are pretty damn good.
I agree when an audience member yelled out you nailed it! Beautiful! ❤️🇺🇸
Can you imagine the hours it takes to get to this level of precision?
PikaPresSMC1 the pain, the blisters , the swollen hands all . Those rifles are super heavy
Countless hours and countless injuries, I did this in high school. Not to mention the upper body strength you need to pull off those tosses and throws
I don’t have to imagine I was on this team from 2013-15. It’s a lot
@@skepticalstrom6247 yes, that was the point of my original comment.

Well the Coast Guard is part of America's armed forces and what they do is taken for granted, so I'm up for some Coast Guard action 😁
Agreed. We in the other services may call them 'knee deep sailors' but we always expect just as good or better thrown back at us. ;)
Moreththerogue yeah that is military banter we all shit on each others branch but it is for fun 99% of the time.
How can you not cheer something so impressive? I am a civilian. I don't have that level of self control.

The Drum Corps riffles got their base routines from the military.
I wonder if the new Space Patrol has an Honor Guard.
United States Space Force is under the Department of the Air Force.
The USAF came from the Army. We learned early to pay attention to the simple things to accomplish the larger things
Coast Guard are the unsung military heroes. The Guardsmen are like Navy Seals. Very very tough and dedicated.
There's literally no unit in the USCG that are like the SEALs
Navy drill team completed the most difficult drill techniques.
They can do this when those weapons can weigh 10-20 pounds
The difference between the af and usmc is most af don’t qualify on the range. You could toss the marines a bunch of magazines and have several rifle teams ready to rock. Can’t even be a secretary in marines without qualification on the range.
WRONG!! ALL Air Force personnel MUST qualify with the M16 every year!
Since the Coast Guard is usually the first one in the COM bad he definitely count
AF was the best. Now you need to watch "stripes" graduation scene
Lol there's no way your fiance doesn't laugh at the air force from time to time hahaha.
Check out The Old Guard. The presidential 1776 drill Corp. Made of members of branches of the US military.
Haven't seen a reaction video to the Blue Angels or the Thunderbirds yet. Here is a link to a rare air show they did together. th-cam.com/video/DlYRorQVxXs/w-d-xo.html. BTW, the Blue Angels are US Navy and the Thunderbirds are the US Air Force
I am bias but have to go with the Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon. They are also Infantryman which makes them a bit more badass.
Nah. I won't hold it against them that they're grunts! But, they don't get "brownie" points, or crayon points either! 😂😂😂
rifle weight around damn near 10 lbs
that's crazy. it really puts in into perspective how amazing these routines are
Courtney Coulston what’s your ranking between the 4 military branches?
You would like the Navy’s Sea Chanters.
How soldiers are injured in each branch
Marines - IED's, RPG's, and Gunfights
Army - see above
Navy - Drowning and see above
Air Force - Choking on a shrimp in a air conditioned mess hall.
I stumbled onto your channel and have watched all the drill team videos and also your reactions to the Tomb of the unknowns and now I'm hooked love your reactions so heart felt
Would you say that to TSgt. John Chapman? Oh sorry, you can't, he is dead saving other branches of the same tree!
While it is loaded with symbolism, this is more something to put on a show and impress everyone with what they can do, so it's generally okay to cheer them on. It's not a solemn ritual like the changing of the guard.
I'm not sure if you're interested in American History but if you are, you should watch "Civil War: American History in HD" From: McKeow Tube. It focuses on the American Civil war from 1861-1865.
Courtney may be from New Zealand but there’s an American just waiting to get out inside of her!! 😂😂😂😂 Also, thanks to all who served!
Hours and hours of practice go into this...
And untold hours with a rubber chicken
