    You actually got me with the joke about getting through boot camp. Alex this new MANPOWER series is outstanding. We all thank you!

    Gods gift to the world! 10 feet tall and Bullet Proof, even at 5'10"! That is how you feel. Semper Fi!! Loved the video Ethan.

    Really liked this one, one of my DI's back in 85 was a Scout Sniper. He was the toughest on us and yet for some reason I liked him the most. When he had the platoon squad bay for the night, he would walk the halfdeck area after lights out between the racks and school us on what things would be like when we were Fleet Marines, when we were in 3rd phase if that's where we were headed. He had his sh*t together like nobody else I had ever seen at the time.

    Well presented and well ordered. Great job, Ethan. I am sure you will be a success in your civilian career pursuits after the self discipline you learned from your Marine experience. I have to confess, I was in the Army and a lot of banter goes back and forth, but I secretly believed a Marine was a much better trained soldier. I envy your experience and thank you for your service.

    My friend and local gun store owner Mike and his son were both Marine Scout Snipers, great men both. His son Arron is now a high school teacher and was my youngest sons favorite, he has had a good effect on my boy as a young man. I have no doubt that Marine Corps Scout Sniper training, had a lot to do with who these men are.

    great video! As a fellow Hollywood Marine, but one who was in the airwing, I appreciate learning about the infantry and its specialties. The lessons of learning to work hard, plan, pay attention to detail, etc. applied to the airwing (in a different way), and for me, were essential when I went on to a career in engineering.

    Silver Star recipient Ethan Nagel by the way......
    Great advice mate, it should inspire young men around the United States to become the best they can be and join the military. There's a famous Dr Samuel Johnson quote from 1778 that goes.......
    "Every man feels less of himself for not having been a soldier."
    And its true, that's what motivated me to join the British Army.🇬🇧🇺🇸✌️

    Great segment highlighting the reality of warfighter ops from the basic level to the advanced. Ethan puts together a good picture together detailing the processes and trials awaiting candidates. We need guys who are willing to put forth this level of effort without the need for recognition to motivate them.

    I'm digging MANPOWER. Can we get more of these episodes telling stories of training or deployments? You know these guys have some good stories of their time in, and that is the stuff that brings this home. All of these jobs are done by people, let the people tell THEIR stories of their time in, the amazing, the funny, the boredom, THE SUCK.

    The Marine Corps eliminated the MOS 0317. Scout Snipers are gone. Snipers got sent back to their regular infantry units. School is folded up. Only Force Recon and MARSOC will have snipers.

      Scout Snipers got sent to scout platoons, you’re right but they are still doing the scout sniper course as far as i’m aware rn

    • @diegoPJPRMFF
      @diegoPJPRMFF หลายเดือนก่อน

      What? They still have scout snipers idk what you are yapping on about, I spoke to a marine recruiter not too long ago and he said you can definitely still be a sniper in the marines without having to be a recon or raiders.

    I never did it, and I never will (I'm 40), but this sounds authentic. I'd want anyone who seriously considers doing that kind of thing to watch something like this, in addition to other research. The kind of person I'd want to be a Marine Corps scout sniper is the kind of person who would search around the internet a little bit, maybe TH-cam, to learn more about it.

    Good shit Marine! The Army needs to spend the same time training soldiers in marksmanship. Army also has try-outs for sniper school but only within Infantry Companies. It's a lot simpler, like most thing in the Army. The Army wants Bravo 4 qualified guys so they try to reach out.
