The Few and The Proud - Red Band Marine Recruiting Video
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.ย. 2024
- A recently declassified Marine recruiting video done by the Harding Institute under contract from the U.S.Marine Corps. Our mandate from the Commandant was, "we need some hardcore recruiting videos to grab the attention of America's youth. They watch R-rated movies, play violent videogames and most are on drugs. If we're fighting for the hearts and minds of the next generation, we have to compete aggressively. What we need is the equivalent of what they call those 'red band trailers' for the movies."
Unfortunately, this video was rejected and classified on the basis that it "reflects poorly on the Marines, sends the wrong message and defies modern standards of good taste and decency." Under the new Obama/Gates regime, there is a new standard of transparency in the Department of Defense and this video has just been declassified. The Harding Institute is still hopeful that the video will prove to be an effective online recruiting tool. Please note, though, that this video is NOT appropriate for minors and should NOT be viewed by anyone under the age of 21 and probably not by people at work.

If this was how my re-enlistment sit down went, id re-up
basically how mine went hahahaa
facts!
and that's why I joined
Shut up you fuckin pog
The story of my life
@@GabrielHomeService did you really look up his MOS just to say that
megachef04 I’m in rn dude lmao
megachef04 just kicking shit
I love how the Staff Sergeant called the Sergeant sir lol.
I was (only) Public Affairs, but there was a lot of downward "yes sir" and "yes ma'am" around the office for simplicity. Started off as a lot of officers coming through and we didn't necessarily know the rank of someone who started talking to us from behind. Eventually it was just something we did even when we knew who was talking.
The officers didn't seem to mind and our master sergeant started it, so it was just one of those things.
Meeeeeeeeeeen-looooow!
@@nathanielheyward my fav part! Lol
Makes sense. But that still sounds like some POG ass shit. And I was a fucking POG (1391 Bulk fueler).
Marine corps recruiter senority are based off of time and service. I had a staff sargent in my marine corps recruiting station that was in charge despite there being a gunny recruiter.
Am i the only one who noticed they were saying the army's "Hooah." And not the Marine "Orraahh."?
I noticed too
YEA what's up with that?
Yeah what the fuck
This was actually a video made by Army Soldiers making fun of Marines.
+Andrew Serrano Really?
I asked my recruiter about this video and he said they all watched this when they finished recruiter training. This is official recruiting material.
"sweet jesus her koochie tasted like pistachios"
And damn me if i didn't like me some pistachios
The most realistic USMC recruiting video I have ever seen!
I remember watching this 11 years ago and to this day I will randomly say, "MennnLowww" when people are around.
Dude I do the exact same thing
its obviously army guys making fun of marine recruiters. still, its pretty funny though lol
I just love how the higher ranking NCO calls the lower ranking NCO "sir". LOL!
Right?
AvgDude SNCO
AvgDude I still lose it when he calls him sir
I've really got to stop watching stuff like this at work. The maniacal laughter is scaring my co-workers.
And to my fellow Marines who are watching this and feeling the urge to knife hand an idiot: Calm down, killers. It's humor.
Im a Marine and I approve this commercial
This is an honest video though...Still enlisting...
I dropped dead laughing at the video games part
TheDubstepDonut I know right
Sounds like the Hodgetwins
shallowcoder1 hodge twins were in the Corps
WTF? Marines don't say "hooah!" And if a Sargent talked like that to a Staff Sargent, he'd be f*&/$! OOOHRAH!
It's a joke.
Recruiters are really laid back....
its "Sergeant" wow kid... just wow
Tijuana Jackson
It is spelled Sergeant and Staff Sergeant
I wish my recruiters were like them :[
I would have signed up in a heartbeat!
Lmao stfu no you wouldn't have
I showed my recruiter this video and he couldn't stop laughing lol he said he showed his whole family
Happy Thanksgiving too man. Hope you find a good recruiter. Something you could always do as well, is a friend of mine was getting denied into the Navy so he just kept asking to talk to the next boss up, and the next boss up and finally had lunch with the Commanding Officer of the entire region, who subsequently put him in the Navy, just because of his dedication.
Good luck brother.
What he said about danger is actually true. It's more dangerous to be anyone living in Washington DC than to be a US Marine in Afghanistan.
My recruiter posted this in a group chat on messenger😂
Im done.
I can't stop laughing can you make it stop please omg
I was told these guys where actually Army recruiters sharing the same building. They both ended up getting a court martial so I was told.
They were protesters with the political think tank, the Harding Group. They were against the BS wars and taking satirical approach at real recruiting tactics.
Funny as a joke.
But the day the Marines issue a recruiting video like this is the day John Basilone, Dan Daly, "Chesty" Puller, John Ripley, Evans Carlson, John Bolt and A. D. Olmos (to just name a few) all come back and set things straight.
forgetting john mackie
They would laugh too.
bruh what? They would think this is funny
Would have been a LOT more funnier to Marines had they followed our regulations. I would list them, but i see others already have started a list. If you're not a Marine I don't expect you to understand the importance of these things.
Spider Fi brothers.
AGearHead4Life i do believe they made those mistakes on purpose, the E-6 being fucked up calling the E-5 sir made me laugh my ass off
It seems that it was part of the joke.
These two servicemen are super funny. I bet they have to put up with so much crap when they go to work. Making this wild video must have been a great way to ease the stress.
It's a parody children for those of you who have never been in a real Marine Corps recruitment office,Notice how the one "Marine" has more Chevrons then we'll say the main guy yet he calls him sir.. "Sirs" are officers ones a Staff Sergeant the other is a Sergeant.
"Big boats with big motha fuckin guns on em!" HAHH shhhhhiit sign me up!
I love this Video 7 Years strong in the Corps Orahhh!!!
DUDE I already plan on joining the Marines (january) and that was just awsome i know its a joke but man that was so cool makes me wana join even more
Hey guys Im one of the actors in this short .I served my country proudly like most of you did 25 years ago..I can't remember every regulations ,phrase ,Salute and placement of medals.Some of you are too caught up on the details..I can recall my comrades in arms always having a great sense of humor.Hell you had to have some sort of sense of humor being around a bunch of men for weeks at a time or else you would go insane.I realize a lot of you are still active duty.,you aren't allowing yourselves to have fun.Its just satire ,so take the sticks outta your asses and enjoy the video in the spirit it was meant.AGAIN this comment isn't directed at everyone just those who don't wanna be silly and have a good time.I respect the uniform flag country and I wouldn't take knee at a football game.Ok I went too far.You guys can let me have it on the football comment.Make America great again
Notice how a sergeant took lead and not the staff sergeant 😂
my Recruiter was a sgt in charge of a ssgt, shit happens like that
+Caleb Oherien Green Weenie?
+Joshua kohl naw not really
Backbone of the Marine Corps... HOOAH!
From a Navy Veteran, this should be your newest recruiting commercial. ROTFL !!!
marines say oorahh. not howah
William Kerestes that’s the point it’s a parody
I'll do that tomorrow! Happy Thanksgiving dude! I'll keep you updated my felony is a crazy messed up one I just hope this works! I want to do great!
This had me forged with spirit and pride.
Marines be gangster until the navy says they won’t carpool with them anymore
This is literally what the marines Recruiters are like.
I don't think I've ever laughed harder than at this damn video. 🤣
Generation Kill: Hahaha one of the best and funniest movies of the Corps!
this video got me to where i am today
You wouldn't have a copy of the video "proud future?" Done in approx 1987 or 88?
ITS MUTHAFUCKING DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION! WATCH OUT FOR THAT IED!
......This is why we make fun of the Marines. This....right here..... and Hooah is our thing!
@Scorpioner123 They also don't have sideburns and have to maintain a weekly haircut. They also don't wear covers indoors, or wear shooting badges on their Charlie uniforms past boot camp. :)
This is awesome.
source: I'm a debbadawg
@TheRockof90s Everyone is protected by SEALs and SF. But they are also protected by pilots and EOD techs. The pilots provide a lot of close air support (not as much as air force but still a bit) and the EOD techs do their thing with explosives.
What a disgrace. So many things wrong, where do I start.
#1 Wearing covers indoors while not under arms? NEVER
#2 A recruiter swearing like a pig while trying to get a recruit? NEVER
#3 Hooah? Get real it is OOH-RAH!!!!!!! We ain't the damn Army.
#4 A Staff Sergeant would never call a Sergeant Sir when asked a question.
I could go on and on and on.
WHAT A FUCKING DISGRACE!!!!!!!!!!!
For the love of god, it's satire.
Charles DuBruille
BULLSHIT!
Satire is one thing, this is just pure crap. Anyone who has any respect for the Marine Corps would think so also.
Well as a Sergeant with 6 years in, I can identify three groups who would be offended by this:
1.) Boot fucks who are overly proud and don't understand that this is a joke
2.) Retired/EAS'd Vets from back in the day who don't understand that this is a joke.
3.) People who are close with/related to a Marine, are also overly proud and don't understand that this is a joke.
I have all the respect in the world for the Marine Corps, as does just about every Marine (no matter how disgruntled). I'm proud of what I've accomplished as a Marine, and know some of the best guys in the world because of it. All of those guys also find this hilarious.
Charles DuBruille
Well, as a Staff Sergeant with nearly 14 years active and 1 year reserve service, who was medically discharged due to combat related injuries, I don't fall into any of your 3 categories.
Apparently the guys you reference are either lying to you or you are making it up. The majority of those I served with, those I am still in contact with (over 50), find this clip either disrespectful or ignorant. not a single one thought it was funny. Especially those of us who served on special duty in D.C. and those of us who served under extreme circumstances in places most of us never thought we would be in.
A joke is one thing. As I stated before, satire is one thing, IGNORANT BULLSHIT is something else. There is nothing funny at all about this.
I am very proud of my service, proud to know the men and women I served with, sad for those I lost, but I will never find this type of crap funny.
Naw, just crawl back to your mommy while us real Marines handle business.
That's your opinion. We all fight for one country, so it doesn't matter.
@DragoenFyre Army is 1 syllable. what they said was a modified version of the marine version.
I'm a current MARINE serving right now and this video is the shit!! Oorah!! Not whoah!
The "Hooah" practically kills this for me.
1:35 best part😂😂
I try doing about five more pull-ups to bring it up to 9 or 10 pull-ups, I got to about 8. I've been trying to run 3 miles in at least 20 minutes. Boot Camp also gets you in shape but it is more intense and more stressful than at home. I always try to simulate for my self what Boot Camp would be like, I've been getting up at 04:00 hours or 03:30 hours, and imagining a DI screaming in my face, but that is just dreaming, and it does not count if it's not the real deal.
you can tell this is not real because the staff sergeant calls the sergeant "sir". (lower rank and only officers are called sir.)
Love it! It's obviously not Marine certified but funny as hell!!! Good job!!!!
the Marines threw me out of bootcamp cause I had too much blisters. They did not want to take care of me. I was a proud kid who was prepared to give his life for the Marines. Then after the war broke out they lied about kicking me out for blisters. Saying that I quit or gave up. The Marines gave up on me. I'll never fight for the Marines, I'd rather fight for the Taliban.
I might have missed any comment that says so but, @Frenchunter, are you or have you served in the military. I mean absolute respect when asking this. If you don't wish to tell me, then I totally respect that.
Also, it is Semper Fidelis and Ooorah.
@indoorin Protected and helped are different. and SEALs and SF Dont protect anyone, in fact, if a small SEAL team needs help its an infantry unit they call not the other way around, no Marines are gonna say "get the SEALs here we need help" SEALs are utilized for special missions not ground combat. Also, Marines have MARSOC which in 10 years could be better than SEALs *started under a decade ago. Marine Recon as well is Special operations
This is so hot dog it could never frighten the kind of people that are out in the world.
@wilshotu197 I was ready to die for the Marines. I don't ever want another person to go through what I did. I never got over it even after nearly 10 years. I'll always have a grudge with them.
If they were on guard duty. You ever see a recruiter sitting at his desk with his hat on?
i would like to quote Starship troopers if i may....Brute force and Violence have solved more issues in the world than any other way in all of recorded human history.
No Marine SGT bosses a SSGT and no one wear their rifle badge above the pocket.......
and they also dont wear there hat inside
Know the story. These are actually two Army recruiters that are spoofing the marines. That's why the "staff sergeant" refers to the "sergeant" as sir. Also explains why they say Hoo-Ah instead of Ooh-rah
Antwon Maleik Montaño thank you that answered so many questions i had
Not true dick weed, sgt is incharge on Clarksville Indiana
MrAzrancher But...but...hooah...??
The video that sold me 😂😂😂 in high school
They probably served in the Marine Corps sometime in their life because if not, then they're some real good fucking actors. They talk like one and most definitely talk like one. I would know because i served 4 years and I'm currently out. If they were currently marines and this video leaked, I'm sure they would be in a heap of trouble.
I am mom of a Marine and I thought this was hilarious!
You like guns? (Damn straight you do)
Big boats (Ships)
Big guns (Cannons)
that shit was funny as hell
Menlo!!! Anyone in the service knows this isnt accurate. Jus enjoy the damn video! Its HILARIOUS!!
@IrishCoffee24 that has nothing to do with why he was calling him "Sir."
it's aa billet and the sergeant probably had a higher billet than the staff sergeant. i was say the exact same thing while i was going through boot camp. my drill hat was a sergeant and my j-hat, and kill-hat were both staff sergeants and they both call him sir.
@Exmarinechick84 yea the crtiticism go forever, its "semper FI" (short for fidelis) not "semer FY" its oorah not hooah, nameplates are suppose on their right chest pocket tab, covers (or hats) are to be taken off when indoors, profanity is considered unprofessional to civilians, hair was too long etc etc etc.
but this was an intentional spoof if you didn't know. way to have a sense of humor. on top of all the bs they made up, the appearances and such were part of the "joke" in this spoof.
Baby when I tell you this was the reason I took my ass to parris island on 21 September, 2009 I mean that!!! SN: I’m still looking for that SGT in 2022!!!
If you gained U.S. citizenship then yes. From what I heard people can join at 17 years old with their parents permission, but when they are 18 they can join with their own concent. However if you are older than 18 or something like that, then you can just join. There are a lot other background checks you have to go through, but if they ask you question that are too personal well, don't ask, don't tell.
@atarturk there's no joke about recruiting. That's how it really is; all a scam to get your life signed away. However, I respect recruiting enough to know that it is essential to a modern military.
Lol I have never seen a marine who has actually been transported on a navy ship disrespect their pimps that much. (That's what the navy is, pimps, they take the marines to their appointments and protect them with their corpmen, EOD techs, pilots and SEALs)
As long as you do not have tattoos that are above your collar line or below your wrist, the Marine Corps will accept the felony. Talk to your local recruiter, and if he says he cannot help you, find another. One eventually will get you in if you really want it.
I know, I was active duty Marines for 5 years and have had tons of friends with felonies in with me. Dedication is what they look for, they see that, they will make it work.
OORAH!
OUTSTANDING Love it Marine Vets wife O4/05 CSG1 out of 29 Semper Fi!
You mean the fictional movie "Act of Valor"? BTW, Seals are trained a mere 7 months more than the average, sitting at a desk, Marine!
why dose the 5 seem like he is in charge of the 6? just asking.
For anyone wondering the Marine Corps is nothing like this anymore
The koochie part is true. If you're not deployed or on ship.
Its funny that the Sergeant is bossing around the staff SGT. LOL
This is fucking awesome!
yeaa.. the whole "hooah / Oorah" part makes a big difference.... also covers are not to be worn indoors, and web belt is too long.
this was never a real recruiting vid, but the recruiters have been acting like that for real for the last decade, they really don't need the commercials
initial requirement for male recruits, I believe) I can do about four pull-ups. There are a lot of things I should work on though, and I know that the Marine Corp is aggressive and intense (DIs screaming in our faces and our ears, 30 second to do this, 40 seconds to do that, 20 seconds, "Do it now!" We have to match the senior DI's speed.) I know that I can be a Marine and I would just like a chance to do so.
this is the best video i have ever seen and i am a cpl in the usmc
Wassup with the covers on inside???
@ProJanitor its "Oohrah", which is the Marines battle cry.
Here in 2021
So what do you say kid? Semper fi!
why are they wearing their covers inside?
I have never been convicted of a felony. I am not a felon. The only problem the guy had was that I had some issues with depression and that I did a few things to punish myself a long time ago when I was a kid, but I've gotten over it. I don't think I should be disqualified becuse of that, but I guess it's not up to me. I know that I am mentally fit and pysically fit. I can do about 66 crunches in 2 minutes, I can run for a long time with out getting tired (1.5 miles in 13:30 is the....
I might need to find a partner to hold my feet down or try to place them underneath my crouch to keep me from lifting them up. When 2 minutes pass, I'm done and I record my reps, the first one on the first day I started was about 45 crunches, the second rep in the same day was about 48(waiting 5 mins between each rep) The second day on the first rep, I finaly got to 51 crunches, the second rep was 59. Keep trying to do them as fast as I could and i'm now doing 66 crunches in 2 mins-->>
Outstanding
1. I thought it was "Oorah"?
2. @pmedic51 - Master Chief was in the Space Marines, I'm pretty sure. There was no Space Navy.
What do you mean REJECTED? this perfectly represents the marin corps and the army.
I cant get enough of this video
I'm a Sergeant in the Corps and regardless of all the inaccuracy and fuck ups with rank and OORAH it is a priceless and hilarious fucking video
