Marines don’t go to buds

@@eganevans3998 I think he's referencing prior service members that go to BUDS. I know some Marines that are "getting out" as in just getting out of the usmc, then moving to the navy through prior service recruiters to go to BUDS.

Semper Fi bro 🤘🏼

Smedley D. Butler (Major General United States Marines 1881-1940) the last marine.

@@SedriqMiers yes Camp Smedley Bulter, Headquarters for Marine Corps Camps on Okinawa.

Semper fi sir. I wanna be a marine once I graduate. Stay safe ❤️🇺🇸

@@BonnieBunny118 it was the best decision I ever made. One thing to remember, IF you go to boot camp at Parris Island it is very hot and humid during the months of May-September. Something to think about as far as when you start basic training. Someday you will know the pride of being a United States Marine and it stays with you for life and I'm 67 yrs old. Semper Fidelis from an old Marine Sergeant and greetings from Charleston, West Virginia.

And its a good investment. Every russian that is killed is another one that the marines will not have to fight in the future.

@@Punk0341 you just outed the fact that you dont actually know anything about the aid that is being provided. Very little actual money is being given to ukraine the vast majority is being used to purchase weapons and supplies from US companies and to backfill US inventory.

Can’t let them be too comfortable. Gotta be angry at something 24/7

@@SB-dw6hz you’re a toothbrush mustache type clown huh?

Stop crying if you are a Marine, with 2/5 we were at the field 80% of the time...

F) The Tilt Rotor is part of the 2030 plan when they keep crashing and killing Marines

Marine moment

Salty

Ok counterargument time since you need it; A) What outdated equipment are you specifically fixing? Do you think we out of all branches have priority funds from congress? B) When I joined I don’t remember joining for awesome housing accommodations. I don’t think the Chiniese or Russians have it right now either. C) Blame Congress, dude. D) You don’t know the exact causes of the recent crash. The Osprey has a similar safety record to other aircraft with similar hours. E) Explain “toxic leadership” because 7/10 it’s carelessly thrown around, especially when some sense of accountability is enforced. I say this as someone who I can guarantee you has seen both sides. I understand it’s easier to regurgitate garbage, incomplete narratives, and be angry, but let’s try to think logically and critically instead dude.

@@high_drivexxx You haven't been on both sides if you honestly need a list of what's broken and/or outdated. Or you were with a well equipped unit that doesn't reflect the rest of the Corps. Bad leadership is often thrown around for no reason but it's also not uncommon for it to be true. The micromanaging and need to treat grown adults like children but expect them to behave like adults is the issue. Honestly, I think leadership has gotten too comfortable pushing people's buttons knowing most of them won't say or do anything when they get outta line. Bad leadership doesn't mean they aren't nice. They can be mean and still be fair.

Divided we fall.

Remember when it came out that if the US planned to attack china Milley would warn china beforehand

When did he say and why are you so emotional like a hysterical menstruating woman?😶😶😶😶

Pilot recruiting is fine. There will never be a shortage of men and women who want to fly fighter jets and attack helicopters, even if they end up in V-22s or CH-53s. I’m honestly not sure if the Marine Corps has given a single frenchman’s fuck about retention. If they did, pilots wouldn’t be in the squadron doing jobs filled by MOS-trained officers in ground battalions. They also wouldn’t be sending pilots to non-flying tours for 2-3 years at a time.

@@UpAndReady if the Air Force is a thousand pilots short then what is our Marine Corps already for one reason they are cutting back on the F35 B production is because of pilot shortage and retention rates.

@@darrylmuse9948 please for the love of god let me fly one

How about NO! Semper Fi

The invasion of Ukraine has, if anything, entirely validated modern western force design and employment tactics. Ukraines force was modelled on an moulded into a representative NATO standard small force optimised for assymetrical exploitation, very much like the USMC. It has performed to an outstanding standard against a numerically superior, technologically superior foe, all within hostile IADS preventing things like freedom of aerial manouvre. Nothing has been thrown out the window, Ukraine is an example of a small force applying modern western land air battle doctrine, although optomised for an assymetrical context, to exceedingly well effect against a foe those tactics were largely designed to defeat.

You know nothing

We have no freedom

Why not serve Canada then?

@@cartermassenzio763 I like to be near family an I hav no family near Canada otherwise I gladly would an most countries in Europe I gladly would to u don’t know this but I’ve put hundreds of hours of research into stats such as quality of life, public transportation, corruption, etc. and research other people personal views as well

@@Walk_Off_0311 Then move to North Korea. Atleast they have some freedoms then

That’s what the Army is for

Why would they

@@snowi3919 because the official usmc twitter account tweeted out a pic of that at the beginning of the month. For "lgbtq pride month"....keep up.

@@topsecretbear9918 Who cares

@@thegreatdogzilla5855Real Marines...once again..keep up or gtf out of the way.

@@topsecretbear9918 The fact that you are triggered from a instagram post is funny. If that what real marines are then we are doomed.

Don't.

Why? Join SOF in the army if you want to actually stack bodies.

I’m going to join as an officer and I’ve already decided that I will

@@crusader318 Oh ok cool, are you going infantry too? Being infantry as enlisted is a no-go at all, especially in the USMC

@@BARAHAZARD I’m trying to go for aviation

they weren't specific about how it'll be designed so it's not very crucial info being spilled

Probably not happening. Look at what a few slightly trained Ukrainians with Javelins did to the Russian tanks. Take a look at how far drone technology has come too. Force Design 2030 aims to deal with this change. Better off going 0313. Marines are getting new armored vehicles to better support the littoral mission too.

Removing tanks was precisely motivated by a return to a conventional force. They do nothing but drag down the operational mobility of the MEU

Well I would still go for the Combat Engineer, cause I like playing with shit that could easily kill me. So if no tanks Ill stick to one thing.

Also I'm not going to debate on something that I would completely lose.

wtf

You’re too old for all the branches actually 😂

@@tommyisland8240 No he's not.

Better get that ass too it. Don’t regret it before you try it

If you're like older than 35 then yeah, you are too old (Unless you have a police/LE or military background. They might allow you to join even older). If you can, hurry because you'll only get older from here. Come prepared though.

True he did. That also looks like the battle of Fallujah. A lot of things happen in a war zone that aren’t SOP.

What’s swept?

@@mikloridden8276 pointed his weapon at his platoon.

Hopefully it was training. Ik, it doesn't make it better, but his finger wasn't on the trigger. Again, ik it doesn't make it much better.

The 249 is still in a ton of units inventories. They’ll bring it back when they need to, don’t worry.

You wouldn't be wrong in doing so

its left to the other branches anyway, so its mostly branch inter-operability

@@tomwanks9123 if they choose to divest their own resources

@@TJkiwiOWEG they're gonna pretty much need branch joint operations anyway, just like how the marines and the navy are inseperable; the air force is gonna add a layer of icing to the cake and whatnot

How so? We still have mortars and medium and heavy machine guns. We still have vehicles capable of hitting targets at long range and HIMARS along with arty? Do you even know what combined arms is?

Lol someone come get this dude!

Equipments wise, yes they are better. But, I rather have a quality war fighting machine to win battles over mass quantities of machine that does little to nothing. Look at the Vietcong, no matter how much we bomb the fuck out of them and used so many resources to keep them at bay. Somehow, they still manage to win the war, that’s because they were well trained and know how to maneuver through certain terrains. Don’t get me wrong, they had more casualties for every battle they fought against us. That is because they were using guerrilla warfare, disrupt or destroy strategic target and get out. It’s not like conventional warfare where you know who the enemy is. That’s why it is harder for conventional troops to fight an enemy that blends in with the regular population.

They were just given to the army

Not sure how tanks would be good for the Marines looking at how Russian tanks are doing in Ukraine.

@@ochkonlon3169 (facepalm) nato tanks are more advanced and have more armor around the turret, besides there are sources saying that those are actually Ukrainian tanks that are destroyed they are just being labeled as Russian tanks for publicity sake, look the M1 Abrams tanks are far superior and can take more hits before being destroyed tanks are important because they provide direct artillery fire support for the infantry and help break through heavily defended enemy pecisions in world war 2 and will help do so in world war 3 god forbid big world war 3 will be fought with nukes and end with nukes god forbid, the Chinese marine corps has tanks which is why the marines need their tanks, look missiles aren’t everything they can malfunction and miss they can be jammed they can also “misfire” like a bad shell and not detonate on hit, look back in the day they said that when the machine gun came out infantry where out dated, is this true? No! The tactics just changed, when the surface to air missile came out they thought jet fighters where out dated, is this true? No they just invented a counter measure called the FLARE to help dodoge those and they changed the tactics a bit, anti- tank missiles have been around since the Cold War , the Germans even had designs for the first guided anti- tank missile in world war 2, did this mean tanks are out dated? No you still need them, like I said earlier, the tactics for tanks may need to change a bit and also tanks will need counter measures for that, the Russians have a counter measure in their t-90 tanks that detects incoming anti- tank missiles allowing the driver to manuver the tank you might not think that is much but it’s harder for the anti-tank missiles to hit a moving tank than it is a stationary tank! 20 bucks says u didn’t read this article you damn Call of duty misinformed child!!!

@@ochkonlon3169 if the marines don’t get their tanks they will be killed in large numbers by Chinese tanks!

@@ghosttankcommander5397 I don't think you're understanding the point of Force Design 2030. It's not wether tanks are good or not. Tanks can be great tools. But they're not good for the Marine Corps. We're supposed to be an amphibious force, with integrated logistics and command to be able to outmaneuver the enemy. We have less quantity, and the Army has better technology and more armored components. Our purpose should be to be fast, and hence small and light in the name of speed. While also able to call in fire support. We're not supposed to fight these long drawn out tank battles like in ww2. That's the army's job.
