In 2014, we had AT in Fort Bragg with a Army Petroleum unit that did NOT follow the tradition of letting their lower ranking personnel eat first. I’m sure most Army units follow tradition, but I can say from experience not all of them do. As for the negative comments labeling me as a POG reservist, I honestly don’t care... I don’t claim to be anything I’m not. I make these videos to inform others.- everyone is entitled to their own opinion and comments. But let’s try to keep this positive. As military members (reservists or active) we’re supposed to maintain a certain level of professionalism. Let’s not forget that when we’re making public comments on behalf of a KZfaq account :)

I did two tours on active duty (1996-03) and never really thought about the reserve component. Thanks for opening up that world and letting us get a peek inside. Excellent video.

Thank you Corporal Lee you showed plenty. This video really gave me some peace of mind with enlisting as a reservist. I ship to MCRD SD in two weeks only concern I have now is hoping I don't come out working at a Walmart or McDonald's during my term because I joined to do better things such as serving this country.

hey bud im in the Army Reservist, just thought I'd let you know that in the Army our higher ups lookout for us too, like lower enlisted eating first. That's so crazy, I'm also a petroleum supply specialist.

Yo bro, your videos are very underrated man. Your videos helped me a ton. Keep doing these vids and never stop grinding.

That cover was extra motivating.

Hey Leatherneck, thanks for the memories... Wow, I hated drill weekends... Now that i've been out for 20 years I would love to get back in the Corps... BUT I'm too damn old... If you are in the Corps, never leave the Brotherhood.

Your videos are great quality how do you not have more subs?

The US Army also taught us to ensure that our soldiers are first. As a CPT, I always ate after my soldiers, that was a given.

Your food looks a shit tone better then what my boi who's an active marine eats lmfao 😂

I'm in the Army and we also let lower enlistment eat first 👍

Damn your HTC looks like a luxury resort compared to mine! Great vid!

4th LAR here, love the videos man. You take a lot of shit from active duty but any good SNCO I've met who've been on deployments, gotten CARs, and all that good shit don't see a difference in the title of United States Marine. I had a combat instructor in ITB who reminded everyone who bragged about being active (there were a lot of reservists in the training cycle) that our Secretary of Defense, Ret. Gen James Mattis, started out as a reservist. He also mentioned how he deployed with reservist Marines and trusted them with his life and could depend on them. Semper Fi.

Dang should've showed the wrestling/Mcmap duels in the pit. Things got heated. Rah cpl great vid

Love all this, literally motivating to follow down the same path

How strong is the brotherhood in the Marine reserves? Just wondering what your opinion is, great video

What's up man, Air Force reservist here, also an E-4. You seem like a cool dude. Sub

other branches do the same in regards to field mess.. Funny story, the whole "lowest rank eats first" thing in the marine corps comes from the old ship life days. The lowest ranks would eat first so they can start washing the cutlery and china...

How to be Active reserves. Is it a pain in the ass to get in? Thinking national guard or marine reserves I’m prior active army

hahaha classified stuff as a supply cpl.... the only thing that MIGHT count as "classified" is the whereabouts of all the GORETEX bottoms!

Thought about being reservist after my active duty contract expires. But after seeing this bro beans I'm Gucci. Yut Yut devil dog oohrah semper fi

just the video i was waiting for. thanks man i ship in august

Don't mislead the people. Grunt life in the fleet is completely different in every aspect. I did 5 years active at Lejeune in the grunts and it's nothing like a normal job absolutely nothing. I loved it miss it regret leaving. Should have done 20 years.

Your videos gave me alot of insight before i make my decision to join as a reservist. Great vids!

that long ass fucking last name lmao man even got that size 8 font

Squad leaders eat last. When I’m done your done

Thank you for the information. I'm shipping July 17 and I could not find very much information on KZfaq pertaining specifically to the reserves. I've subbed. Keep it up!

Semper Fi , corporal I served 8 yrs 0300 infantry n my son is active and stationed at Camp Pendleton, stay sharp n stay safe!!! thanks for the vid..

Seen your comment on JTs video. Great vid, subbed

Im active duty stationed in 29 Palms. Kinda wished i did reserves infantry life sucks. Then again I think it was a good choice

great vid man! channel's pickin up some momentum!

3051 Stationed in Hawaii right now, on a FAP to base facilities with the SEABEES looking for leadership advice and I think I found it. THANK YOU CPL!!!

oh I love watching marine videos it makes me want to be one thank you for your service

Honor, Courage, and half the Commitment lol

The videos you do are really well donde, you really should have more subs, I hope one day you grow more. Keep making videos

Gotta have your Marine Corp cookies😂

Thank you! I sit in my house with my wife and 3 kids and owe everything to men and women like you.

Hey,just found your channel. I'm 15 from arizona and plan on joining the reserves and going straight into duty after graduation. your channel has helped me learn quite a bit in a short time. thanks man.

im at meps right now gonna do the pysical tommrow and im going to the marine reserves as well

Pro tip: never record in front of a bright background (you face is blacked out). 2) "fix" the camera. I was getting sea sick in the last shot. Good content.

Weekend in the life of a Marine Reservist: Hide in the bathroom and car between "training"

Marine grunts, who do you honor more: 1. Marine pogs or Navy corpsman in the Marine infantry 2. Marine pogs or army grunts

Airforse we all eat together

Idk where you got the idea that in the other branches of services lower ranking soldiers don't eat first. I'm in the Army and I can assure you, all lower enlisted are the first to eat. Great video but double check facts there corporal.

I'm not even American but was wondering how being a reservist affects your job opportunities in civillian life?

If you could answer my question? "my job will place me on a leave of absence... How long is the whole process for boot camp. Mos, etc. I'm currently looking to enlist as a reservist for the marines or air force.

Leaving first week of December. I'll be doing reserves as well when I'm back here in Arizona.

Haha supply opsec, get outta here! No seriously that’s hilarious, tyfys haha

advon - advanced deployment setup platoon. main body - main deployment group. rear party - remaining deployment platoon.

Oh man watching your videos makes me feel like I'm back in! Haha good stuff bro keep it coming.

Not meaning to gog but your ripped asf bro 😮 with the sweater on I was like oh yeah he lean but you're both lol

you've got a really great channel man. keep it up! you just earned a sub

Great video, this has changed my mind for the best! Thank you sir!

Hey man, just subscribed, your videos are great. Just wondering, what camera do you use?

I’m doing 0311 Marine Reserves or Active duty 03xx but considering we’re not at war atm I’m leaning heavily toward reserves (and my reserve unit has had some recent Afghan deployments which I may get to go in). How does choosing your mos work for the reserves? I heard you could directly select a mos like 0311 instead of the field 03xx. How does choosing your mos work for the reserves? And what gear do you get from your reserve unit ? Such as plate carrier and backpack Also do you think I’ll have a problem getting 0311 for my reserve unit? I heard there has to be a slot open to get it. My reserve unit in my state is 1st Battalion 24th Marines Infantry Battalion. There’s 3 of the 5 companies in my state ( HQ & Service, Alpha and Charlie are in my state and the weapons and Bravo is in surrounding states). One of my fears of doing 03xx is getting selected to be something other than 11 or 31. 41 doesn’t interest me at all.

I do have a question for you Sheldon. My boyfriend is a marine and he's at drill this weekend. Yes be at drill at 0600 and I was wondering how long drill will last for a day? Like does it last for like 2 hours or 5 hours, how many hours in one day does drill last?

Important question: Can a married Marine Reservist bring their spouse with them to drill weekend?

Yalls reserve drill is ALOT like army reserve drill weekends. practically the same

The chow thing isn't just the usmc. I am army and our ncos make sure every soldier eats before them. At least in the infantry but I am sure pogs do it too.

Never have i let one of my joes eat after me. Plenty of times I’ve given my plate of food to my lower enlisted, and/or have bought food for them out of my own pocket.

Saw your comment on nicks channel lol good stuff bro.

I’m thinking about doing the marine reserves or National guard for the army or af Because I want something part time and i heard you only get to leave like 1 weekend or week in the summer or something and i thought that was cool My only question is what’s the difference between the reserves and National guard? Which ones better ? Or has more or a chance of deploying? I wanna stay near home kinda

Can you expand a little bit on the EGA distribution to recruits after finishing crucible? We didn't have any of that when I was in. We didn't call it a crucible, we weren't issued EGA, only were considered a Marine after graduation, and we left that same day. No MCT after boot camp. Is this EGA that seems like somewhat large, is it symbolic? Is it wearable? Only EGA I remember was the one that went on our Mickey Mouse covers. And can I get one somewhere? I've posted some videos of Parris Island stuff, check it out.

Awesome Video ! Do you think you can briefly touch upon the engineer mechanic side

Army always allow lower enlisted eat first. Nothing new.

That cover needs starch and an iron, bro!

I'm 16 yrs old and have wanted to be in the USMC for years hope I can get in. Thank you for your service semper Fi.

I cant wait to be working with the Lav25's

Well spoken and video well shot. Good to go devil. YUT!

The video was great, but you need to do more research on other branches. Your format was great but your content had some key flaws that im sure other active duty like me and vets will notice. Just like my leaders say dont blow smoke and u wont get smoke. But great video man and keep it up i see u got a future in this.

This guy really said supply has classified options lmao

Im surprised they dont have you racking up at the drill center.

Is the drill weekend always at the Marine Reserve Unit or someplace else?

so u must really like watch the throne album... haha. Mad respect for you bro you have inspired me. Thank you

I ship out in about 4 years..... Long time to wait

Dude your awsome keep up the work.

Thanks for your service Marine. Semper Fi

I met Cpl Peticone in cali this year, they were out there with 7th ESB, and i know mazariegos too, and Alcantara😅

It's in the same in the Army. Our leadership always ate last

I’m doing 0311 Marine Reserves or Active duty 03xx. How does choosing your mos work for the reserves? I heard you could directly select a field like 0311 instead of 03xx. And do you get gear from your unit?

Good job corporal. I was a reservist as well and what you did show was pretty indicative of what a headquarters unit does. Semper Fi brother.

Rah Corporal. Just wondering how promotions are done when trying to rank up to E-4. I’ll be home in a couple of month to check into my duty station and still kind of unsure. Any information would be great. Thank you.

Great video. Super jealous seeing y'all get out before 5pm lol our usual drill day is 0500 to 2000 easily

Okay so when is the last day you have to be at drill and then go into IRR? Is it the dates you went up to MEPS to enlist or the day you get to bootcamp?

Love your videos. I leave in December!

Damn, I'm a bulk fuel (Asian) reservist and this video should be familiar, but your unit seems to have at least 90% less fuck fuck games and gourmet chow. It seems like the Marine Corps deluxe. Interesting to see a different experience, keep up the great videos!

i love your video sir... keep it up!

So, they will pay the full amount of your hotel stay if you're a 50-miler?

A bit late, but change and command is for officers, sergeants majors etc. will post and relief.

I've stayed in that hotel for months before, it's a pretty nice place.

How you going to call yourself a squad leader and cheer up

On the subject on 4:35 by you saying you have the guys eat before you do, but don't seniority works too?

Lol fucken pog. Thank you for your cervix

I feel like this unit right off kirkwood hwy

Are reserves and National Guard mostly older people that have been in active duty prior? I'm asking because I'm joining right after high school this year at 18 and want to hang with people my age. I may just go active if that's the case then go reserve when I'm older too.

Damn that last name is going 5th Element.

what day do you leave your reserve unit to go back home?

What made you want to be a reservist rather than active duty?

Sheldon, im 30. Have you ever seen someone enlist on a age waiver?

Thank you!
