- Marines serving with Fox Company, 2nd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, hike an 11-mile route with a full combat load to their next training destination here, April 2, 2013. The hike began at 6:30 a.m. and finished approximately four hours later. The company conducts hikes weekly to build strength, confidence and unit-readiness. Hikes also give small-unit leaders an opportunity to lead Marines and build camaraderie. Produced by Lance Cpl. James Gulliver.

I remember in 2001 ...we would do SOI with flack and Kevlar helmets.....with a saw and motor gear or whatever the 03 MOS carried....up to 16 to 18 miles. Then in less mile humps ....2 to 3 miles to base we would run back. and do close combat instruction
In 2001 your packs probably weighed half of what those guys are humping in the FILBE's. My ILBE pack in SOI weight about 90-95 pounds. ALICE packs were what, 50-65 pounds?
They started doing that again for my SOI class when they introduced IMC to us, our longest hike was abiut 50 miles with 60 lbs and 240’s, MAAWS, and A bags for the 240’s
Retiired Navy Corpsman stationed at 62 area of Pendleton with 2/7 in the early 70's. This brought back memories. Thanks
I never met a Corpsman I didn't like. Semper Fi. While everyone else is taking a break , you men were checking to see if we were alright.
they forgot to mention arthritis
They use the buildup system now 12 miles no plates or kevlar...then it's a 15mi with plates then a 20 with everything....it actually helps you body be more prepared in the long run.
We did the same thing only we started at 20, full gear w/ steel pots. 12 miles...we ran.
I'm That Guy
I remember that place. We route marched out to the camp site near there using WW II shelter haves, wool blankets, packs, belts and canteens. We stayed out overnight and ran that mountain the next day. I fell down and knew I was beaten. Until the man behind me grabbed me by my back pockets and bull dogged me up there. Plowing the trail with my face! But we all made it!
And I have never physically failed anything since!
We were Devil Pups, 15, 16, 17 year old boys. It was 1964 and I was 16 years old.
Even after 22 years as a U.S. Army Infantryman, in war and peace, I still remember that time and that mountain.
Only 11 miles? That's a cake walk. My unit used to do anywhere to 25 to 50 mile humps.
looks tough as hell!
We did this at PI all the time!! With Kevlar on. Not to mention the one after the crucible. (Marines know what I am talking about). And we had to maintain positive control of our weapon the entire time
"Semper Fi, Mac!"
I was in Fox 2/1 from "79-'83. That's up Mount MF'er, down the back road out to the beach. Things really don't change! BTW- apparently Fox 2/1 has been disbanded since.
What no Kevlar or flack jacket? Only 12 miles. We did it in Full Battle Rattle and added 12 miles. We did it on Friday’s. That way we could rest over the weekend. Less sick calls for work the next day.
What happened to thirty in eight hours with combat load?
What 12 ? What happen to the 25 mile hike or hump ?
My knees are fucked
Semper Fi
So this hike is basically the British Duke of Edinburgh hike
Ya and.... this was normal for my Infantry unit, 12 mile hike, just about every Friday. Done, and on Liberty by noon.
Laughs in DD-214
Very intresting, thanks. I wish I could be in there, I been trying to enlist for the last 6 months but my recruiter is a giant meat sack. I am seriously close to just going army for 4 years and hopefully cross-training/transfering after my 1st contract.
Rick Sanchez How did it go?
if by strength you also mean arthritis, lower back injury and stress fractures, your spot on lol
😂😂😂I bet you get a manicure n wear colorful nails
It’s ok to give credit to those that volunteer instead of criticizing them
By been negative it only shows how much more character they have over you, be nice n grow a pair n become a real man
they'r in the packs, as usual
No plate carriers or K-pots?
Distance doesn't mean a thing without elevation gain.
sou Fuzileiro Naval já fiz marcha de 50 quilômetros na época da CiaReconter.
Can you imagine being attacked by a bison stampede seeing as how the Crucible begins at Camp Pendleton.
Is it before or after they developed arthritis ?
i love this little thread, such a bitch slap. amen.
Wow. When I went to training we did 15 miles and I had shin splits. I should of join the Marines. I wonder of they can still take and old far like me in. Maybe even Marine reserves? Who knows?
the reaper hike is 10 miles. and at PI you dont even have a fucking reaper, if any hills whatsoever so pipe down.
Today its called a "hike"....40 years ago it was called a "hump".......you say tomato, I say tomuhto. ha!
ISO mats? WTF is that shit. Went in in '82 you had the fucking ground as your mattress.
AT&T!!
It build hate! I builded my strength for 21 years in the gyms and hills of camp pendleton
I hope not all 03s hike like that now 12 miles in that is a joke. You should be able to do that out of SOI.
This is up and down hills, completely different than marching on flat land. Having said that, the entire 3rd Marine Division did a 3 day, 60 mile hike when they arrived in New Zealand early in 1943. I don't think most Marines have the 50 hikes anymore, and I don't know why.
@@dennisplatte8800 There was a 100 mile hike a battalion did in 1996 from 29 palms to pendleton after a field exercise in the desert.
@@dennisplatte8800 Because there is no point on destroying their bodies before the war even begins. Train hard flr realistic situations. No one is humping 50-60 miles on a modern battlefield.
Lamborfeeties
Maybe get a narrator that doesn't sound like a sprinkler. I can see the Marine Corps still making bad decisions
Всетаки filbe main pack лучше ilbe
The worst you had to deal with in PI were sand flees. Give me a break when you say you know what these mountains are all about.
Camp LeJeune is also pretty flat. I have respect for the Marines out west. Comparatively speaking, we had it easier on the east coast.
Lol 2/1 fox...
My Battalion, my Regiment! 1st MarDiv! FMFPAC. G 2/1! Oohrah!
