You forgot the "Geek" Marine. The guys that go to the electronics stores and buy the minimal parts and turn their rooms into home theaters where everyone wants to hang because of the sound and video equipment.

The Joker. You all know him. He can make a perfect impression of a-hole officers and always have a bunch of really stupid jokes in store for every situation. A good Joker is needed in any group.

Dont forget the “Almost was a D1 athlete but got hurt” marines

What about the “jack of all trades Marine?” The guy who doesn’t have a 300 PFT, but finishes in the top, he’s a Team Leader / Squad Leader but doesn’t do more than 4 years, looks good in garrison but is actually a “field Marine”... he’s respected by both his seniors and his juniors.

The Marine that marries the first stripper they see lmao

The Badass Marine. Unassuming, gets along with everyone, doesn't talk much, but when he does everyone listens. No on messes with him because he will kick your shit under 30 seconds. Then pick you up and buy you a beer and call you his buddy.

My era Marine Corps. We had all of the types of Marines which have been sited here. The "old breed" Marines of WWII, Korea and Early Vietnam, when I had joined the Corps, and then, quickly deployed to the South East Asian war games (Vietnam, my first of two tours),. My Company Gunny, had been a First Sgt once upon a time, during his second tour in Vietnam, where the Company Commander got 12 of his company's Marines KIA, when the Company CO called in a F@#%ed Up Arty fire mission; Where my Gunny (once upon a time First SGT), heavy handed the Captain (knocked his teeth out), for having KIA'd 12 very good young Marines, where the First SGT, then stood tall for his in country Courts Martial, where he lost his First SGT status, had been reduced back to Gunny, where the Battalion Commander, kept the returned to Gunnery Sergeant in country, and sent the screwed up Captain stateside. My Gunny was as hard as nails, with an 8th grade formal education, achieved his GED, drank Jack Daniels in his canteen cup (only when we had no patrols pending), with him smoking those nasty little Parody 5 to a box Italian cigars; Where my Gunny would change Mr. Daniels first name, any damn time the Gunny desired to, due to the fact, of how intimate he had become over the years with Jack Daniels. What a bloody hoot my Gunny had been too. Gunny really cared for "All" of his Marines in our Infantry Company though, he looked out for all of us. If a Marine did not pay attention to the teaching of our Company Gunny; those Marine(s) had been *Body Bagged* out on the next helicopters, (mostly, the year or year and half college type FNG's), who had voiced their being more knowledgeable than our Gunny, because they had some college under their belts. They had all been wrong on that score, about being anywhere near, more knowledgeable than our Gunny. Sad but true.

My favorit was the Mormon Marine. Always in a good mood, highly motivated, good to talk to about philosophy and the universe, and the best part, he was always the DD when everyone wanted to go get drunk. Sgt. Kaze I miss you buddy.

My brother was in from 85 until 06 when he gave his life and dove on a grenade to save two of his brothers. He was a Master Gunny Sargent. He didn't smile, and he seldomly left base. He was in the field more than he was home, and if he wasn't deployed, he was working out, or working with other soldiers. Terry was built like a statue, and could've been a poster boy for Mack truck. Before his death I asked him why not come home. He could've retired out. His answer was " there's no place in a civilian world for me" he had one fear. Coming home. He was dedicated to the corp's sweet blood and tears. My hero. Rest in peace.

"Take me to the brig. I want to see the real Marines!" Chesty Puller

Oh, the POG's! My favorites were the POG's with the "Death Before Dishonor" tattoos.

The movie extra guy, never the star, easily overlooked, but always there going about his work

My boyfriend is a Marine and sent me this video and asked me which one I think he is, from what I hear he sounds like the complainer, probably shouldn't tell him that though haha.

The motivational one, always helping people to overcome their limits and never leaving behind a man.

The Marine Gunner; he made PFC out of PI as high score on the rifle range, made Lcpl 6 months out of ITR, returned from the first tour in Nam and made E4, applied for WO School, the second tour in Nam returned as E5, posted at USNA guard detachment, at year 5, orders to Quantico Basic School(WO school) Boot camp all over again only nicer uniforms, many weapons schools, orders to various posts in Bn Armories, OIC at several USMC rifle ranges. Retired CWO after 25 years, worked for firearms manufacturer as a trainer, moved to Federal Service for another 10. Always squared away, related well to EMs, O's didn't really understand or how to deal him. Never had to stand OD, still bleeds red and gold.

Remember the info guy. He knew where we going before the corps did. He would always say”listen to me”

I always thought it was funny when F up Marines became lifers because they realized there was no other job on the planet that would put up with their shenanigans.

"The Clean Marine". No matter where you hump, how far you run or whatever course you go over, he always looks like he's just got onto parade first thing in the morning. Well shaved, clean faced, beret square, uniform pressed, boots spotless, and never ever sweats.

You forgot the skaters. Always getting outta working parties. Lol

As a Navy Corpsman that spent 18 wonderful years with the Marines, I have met them all. I love them all and would do it all over again if called. I would go to the end of the earth with my Marines, the best fighting force in the world.

The Spirited Fail Marine. Always felt for these guys. The spirit is there...these guys desperately, agonizingly want to be Marines, but to quote a line from an old movie "You just don't pack the gear." Will not put these guys down because I know how badly they yearn for the place in the Corps. But they either physically or mentally can't make it over the bar. In some cases it's just tragic. I remember going through boot and the hardest charging most squared away guy in our training platoon, in the seventh week of training, got surveyed because of a chronic eye infection that just kept coming back. To this day I remember when he got his papers telling him he was getting cut loose. We came back from running the obstacle course and he was in the head crying his eyes out. He would have made an excellent Marine in any capacity but a physical ailment ran him out. (Maybe I feel for these guys. Took a round to the knee in February '69. Spent 6 months in a cast and in August they called me in and told me I was on TDRL...but they didn't think I would be coming back. As an 0311 I felt like such a loser because I couldn't work through it.)

You forgot the "can't get out of his own way, always in trouble for stupid things (not fights or crime) rocks a first class PFT but still has a belly, terminal lance corporal. (Yeah, that was me.)

I was the f'd up Marine. I loved every minute of my enlistment. I laughed at your stereotypes. I knew every one of those guys. They all have their place though. It's what make The Corps The Corps.

My career in the Corps, spanned 30 years plus change. Infantry in the beginning, and then Naval Aviation in Marine Helicopters, qualified as a Naval Air Crewman (Gold Wings), and then achieved my Combat Aircrew Wings, during my second tour in Vietnam. The rest of my time in the Corps has been Marine Aviation; Except for my tour as a Drill Instructor, which at the time had been 18 months after DI School, extendable to 24 months. Achieved standing in two different make and model helicopters, at different stages in my career. Culminating with my being the, Flight Line Chief (Gunny), the Maintenance Control Chief (Gunny), the QA Chief (Gunny), and lastly, the 6119 Helicopter Maintenance Chief (MSGT / MGysgt). Marine Officers, I had served with, and experienced a wide range of MC Officers during my entire MC career. Some real good (Prior Enlisted types), and then there had been the newly appointed WO-1's, and those the select group of LDO know everything there is to know; Of whom, hated the NCO's, and Staff NCO's, along with most all of the Regular Commissioned MC Officers. What a pain in the a@s they had been, when it came to their gearing up for any and all deployments overseas; Whereas for the most part, those (A-Holes), managed to not go on deployments at all; or if they deployed, they always managed to return stateside, within the first 45 days of our deployments, where they did not return to our unit, ever. Our gain, had been some other Marines loss, Lol.

I remember the "Skater marine". This was back in the late 90's and I'm sure he still exists today. The Marine that knew every loophole and trick to steer clear or formations, humps, PFTs, DNCO/ADNCO, CAX..... You name it. He had the lowest possible reg haircut and his cammies were faded as hell......and he was a four year Lance cocoanut.

There is the Marine that is essential to every unit. He is the one that can get anything anywhere anytime and never fails. The best one's can disguise themselves as any of these 7 and they also have the luck of Lucky Luciano...

You are so right on with your description of the different type's of Marines. Well stated.

What happened to the "shitbird"? In every command that I was in, starting with boot camp, there was always a small flock of these.

The type of marine I know shows up to their Homecoming Celebration still wearing their Mk VI Spartan armor

I remember a Marine who was one Cool customer, nothing rattled him. He had a Good sense of humor and spoke without yelling much. 2 tours in Vietnam, and a bunch of ribbons along with a Silver star. If he had any PTSD, you would never know it. Maybe you could say scary, who knows?

I love this! I was Army, but we have similar guys! Dont forget the alcoholic guy who never gets caught!😂😂

The corporals run the Corps. Rank is difficult to attain in the Corps so that is why. A guy I went in with stayed in 20 years but never went to Vietnam. I was in 8 months and I was in the suck. Stayed there two years because I knew it was going to be the most memorable years of my life. We were giants with automatic weapons. I was sent back to the states with Vietnam mud on my boots. I got into 3 to 4 fights a week and turned to drugs. I've spent the last 52 years trying to heal my heart but with little luck. Now that three out of your Vietnam vets are already dead it leaves me fewer people who shared my experience. You'd think after 52 years I'd be over it but the dreams still haunt me.

I was the old man marine. Always the first to call it a night and first up in the morning. I love my coffee and cigarette before morning pt. Everyone always called me the old man or grampa.

Three types of Marines to add. We had this one kiss-ass Marine that could run a 300 PFT. Yet put him in full 782 gear on a force march and within ten minutes he was collapsed on the side of the road gasping for air. Another was a E-4 that was in one of the rifle platoons. Been in twelve years (circa late 80s/early 90s) and was always passed over for E-5. No NJPs. Just could not make rank. Last is First Sergeants who only care about further their careers than the welfare of the troops. Takes all kinds.

FULL FACTS! | Thank you, for the biographies.

Being on the Motor T side in 1st LAR, my favorite Marine was the Super Pog the guy who was going to save the day with all his Velcro accessories. But the best Marine was the guy that always had the good stuff shares his A1 or bbq in the middle of a deployment helps to break up the monotony of MREs.

I had a very good friend in the supply -mafia always an outstanding friend to have.

BAMs! Haven`t heard that in over 30 years!🤣

Supply mafia, love it! Was a supply clerk in the army.

One of my favorite is the one upper, they have been there and done that to the 9th degree.

The Marine that went drinking all night then got up and ran a 300 PFT the next morning. 2) Marine that no matter what carried 5 or 6 knives. 3) The guy that never went anywhere or did anything , walks around with spit shine boots ,pressed cammies.( & the green book) 4) The Marine NCO that would kick your Ass if you gave him any Lip. Semper Fi Marines

Lots and lots of changes. I do hope, for the better changes for all Marines. Thank you, for allowing this ole Marine to go down memory lane, before I pass away.

I first met Marines when I was a college freshman, best bunch of guys I ever knew Semper Fi!!!

HM2 here.....at Camp Lejeune I had two roommates........one was the postal clerk and the other was the armorer .......talk about a hookup !!!!!!

I remember when I was the orders clerk in Philly when I got back from Nam in 68. We had a Marine come in one night that was busted from 1st Sargent to Private. He had hash marks all the way down his sleeve and still had the outline of his rank on his uniform. I never found out what he was busted for.

The guy that hated being in but now there out are super marines and everything marine in the hous

The Show Pony: Always talking it up and working loudly when leadership is present, then an absolute sack whenever leadership are gone.

0311 here I always made friends with cooks and supply marines.

The marine I remember is the one who has my back when the shit hits the fan, we give each other the shirt off our backs, and they would do the same for us. .

The best advice I got from my dad was thoroughly clean your gear before sending it back to supply, cause that's how you get loaned the good shit. And also bring movies like the big lebowski or blazing saddles on deployment. He is a smart man.

Thank you. Be nice to supply. This is the best.advice.ever.

USMC 1979- 1984. At least in my era you forgot the Marine that was always drunk or stoned.

I remember from my service (Finnish Navy Coastal Jaegers) those ones particularly during basic training who were at sick bay constantly. Those few individuals. Just like described on this video 😄 We were laughing about that if they will return on fit for service status or not. Cheers

I just chalked up 30yrs years of service in Canadian Military, trade infinity NCO, joined at 18yrs. Contact for another 5yrs but considering releasing next after one more deployment to eastern Europe low threat area. Love your videos

Your channel has come along way sir! It’s been a pleasure following your journey on KZfaq!

Marines I have known..." Semper Fi " tattoo, tough as boot leather, always have a story, and are outstanding examples of serving their country. Thank them.

The buff Marine. Always in the gym and request a size smaller issue blouse so his rolled up sleeves almost cut off his circulation, oh actually that was me lol.

Great channel man! In the Army we had the E-4 mafia as well. The rank of Specialist was pretty comical and we all remember it fondly. Not a private, but not an NCO either.

I loved the shapeshifters, those cool Marines that are from another time and place. These beings were Gods at being a marine and at the same time, sensative and wasn't afraid to show it! But back on the block they were rock and rollers that hated authority, loved Iron Maiden and could quote all the classics from Whitman to Cervantes and could soup anything on Wheels that could haul 3 tons in a dime time on the dead man's drag! They also always wore the coolest indian arrowhead necklaces like they were members of some kind of an ageless elite secret club. They never took a night with a hottie over being there for a buddy in trouble or distress. They Always volunteered to help elders, kids, and animals. They love animals but knew all the oldtime hunting tricks of a bygone age taught to them by a mountainman grandpappy! Those dudes are a dying breed if not already gone! Rock on! you glorious few of the few and proud where ever you may be!

You forget the Aviation Marine. After getting out of the Army I used the GI Bill to go to a local school. Seemed like a bunch of Marines and Corpsman had the same idea and we're all in the same classes together. Awesome group of guys, and it was great because our instructors were veterans too. But I'm sitting there talking about some field stuff and whatnot that I did in the Signal Corps. And these Marines were looking at me like I was Audie Murphy or something. I was like didn't you guys do some hardcore stuff? They're like "nah man, we were aviation." That's when I learned Aviation Marines (and I'm sure Soldiers are the same way), are basically Airmen who know which way to point a rifle. At least they qualify once in a while. But I did think it was pretty funny when they asked if I was a grunt. Nah signal just does dumb grunt stuff in the field for some god awful reason. You 25 series know what I'm talking about.

For the most part in my experiences the officers were pretty good, quite a few were prior enlisted so that helps. It's the ones that thought leadership was telling the underlings what to do and that's all ,that we had a problem with. Some changed with a little "counseling" from the senior enlisted , but some just kept on being an ass cause they were on their way up the rank structure and didn't care to learn the true meaning of leadership, it's about taking care of you're Marines, making sure we have what we need from gear to career advice and advancement. The most important thing in my mind was instilling trust and confidence that when we went over the wire we had trust that our leadership would lead from the front and confidence to accomplish any mission placed before us. Just my two cents. Semper Fi!

You are so right about the supply Marine. They do run together.

Spot on, sir! You could have also include the "sea lawyer"....usually a LCPL who has been in over 4 years and can't pick up his blood stripe yet he knows EVERYTHING about the Corps. "Hey man, screw the Gunny! He don't know shit! I'll tell you how to (fill in the blank)"....Semper Fi

My Gunny, still rated wearing tiger stripe cammies (and did everyday) would hold Friday formation and call the WMs "our childbearing Marines"...... I cannot imagine now...

didn't go to marine or military watching this anyway

Loved being the Garrison Marine. My last 2 years in the Marine Corps (75-77), not one day in the field. Worked at Company Office. Super POG

Love your channel brother Semper Fi

The barracks rat marine

I was just another bug trying to make it thru another day. 1973-1981

Awesome videos!!

Loved it I think surved with all of them. Just happened to have my chesty t on tonight

Supply mafia Marine! 😂 That’s awesome! That was me!

There was also the Marine that chewed Copenhagen and spent hours sharpening his KBAR on a stone with oil.

My son added in a group... Coast Guard is stationed on Camp Lejune... this guy sounded like Gomer Pyle and tried to put the Coast Guard down loudly but none of his brothers and sisters would join out of respect for the branches working together... not sure where that guy fits but all the branches have one. Thank you for your service to our country... priceless is the only payment that would suffice for all who risk their lives for us.

Hey brother you forgot about the “shit bird” I saw full metal jacket years after I got out and you’re right our senior drill instructor was pretty rough but those three junior drill instructors we had were tough as hell especially sergeant Boh but I learn more from him than any of the others by far Godspeed and Semper Fidelis to all Patriots

Half my family is Marines the other half Army then me the oddball Airman lol.

I’m an old CH46 Crew Chief! I always liked the Marine that told everyone he was a force recon guy but was a cook because he got shit canned from S2 A school!

Not a lot of talk about the Mustang Marine. My CO, Captain Huffman, treated myself and the other two squad leaders of our infantry company with as much respect as his platoon commanders. He also kept most of us alive through some pretty horrendous stuff. Will never forget him.

had two friends from school that joined. both love the core!!!! one was an mp! became an officer after getting out! the other got into the trades. it dont matter what branch you were in! army vet here. love you all!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you all for your service!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The comedian marine that gets sniped in the middle of telling a joke during deployment, thats the best.

Don't forget the new corporals with swelled up heads. In Bahrain as a sailor during Desert Shield i worked with one who thought he was going to bully me around. When he got mad cause I wasn't taking his crap he decided to pull his MC issued K Bar knife. I pulled a similar sized knife and told him let's go a few rounds. Should have seen the look on his face.

Love the supply mafia ive made it good with them and man does it really show if I need help they got me

Just shared this to three of my brothers. Yeah they’re all marines!

LMFAO The light duty marine might be the most accurate thing ever hahaha

I'm heading down to the Brig to talk to the "real" Marines! -Chesty B. Puller😆 Semper Fi, Bro's. Miss you more and more each day.

We called the guys who couldnt stay out of trouble shitbirds. The light duty guys were sickbay commandos. Great video, Semper fi bro. Bravo 1/5 1984-1987

I was in the Corp from 1959 thru 1965 that was a great time to be Marine. You had Officers and NCO's from the 'Old Corp' that lead by example and if you screwed up they where there to get you through it. Rank was hard to make for the Corp was going through a transition period but the experience was something that can't be matched. The units I was in didn't have to wait for the media to tell us where we were going for we had been there and back before they new it. When you take about platforms I saw everything from M1, M14, 1911 45's, BAR's and Subs plus units working together. As one individual stated in the thred the Corp is made up of all types of individual for that is was makes it the Corp.

I was a Hollywood marine😎 ! Shout out to the 5th Marines ! Margaritaville camp Pendleton !!!! Ooooooooooooh rah!!🇺🇸

The joker constantly cracking jokes, sarcastic humor, making everyone laugh including higher ups

Always educational.

Sounds like every day life!!! Thanks man!!

As a combat Marine I immediately thought of the Marine you can count on when the going gets tough; the Marine you want in your foxhole. O311 Marines are the core of the Brotherhood.

My favorite Marine is the one that's normal. Not the hard charging slap you for having a hair outa place. Not the POS POG. Just a normal good Marine. 0311 2003-2006

Love this Bravo Company 1/1 89-91 miss those days

I had a lifer Marine that was a SgtMjr from 1945 to at least 1988 that I remember 9th Comm. Btn great man but can't remember his helped pin on my PFC stripes back in 1988. Told me a lot of stories about the Corps.

"SEMPER FI MARINES, SEMPER FI INDEED.. Master Gunnery Sergeant-Retired...

How about the PFC three years that mite run into a boot Lcpl. Seen it. It was as epic as your thinking right now

Great video. It’s funny, we have the EXACT same 7 type of soldiers in the Army.

I was deployed with Devil dogs. USS GERMANTOWN LSD-42. super tuff find the bulkhead and make way when they came down the way. Thank you U.S.M.C. your shipmate HT3 England(1991-94).
