So, are there any other shocking facts about the US Marines that we didn't mention?

Fact #51 Marines hate being called soldiers

as a marine infantrymen, the line "we assume marines get the good stuff" was probly the funniest line i heard

"Once a Marine, always a Marine" ... Marines take an oath; it does not have an expiration date. - Semper Fi

Army: To take and hold territory. Marines: When it absolutely positively has to be destroyed overnight...

As a Marine I can say with confidence that this video was definitely made by people who have zero experience with the USMC

Any marine will tell you..they do not get the “best” gear.

Marines are one of the most feared military’s in the world

As a paralyzed disabled veteran, 8 years in the US Army, I salute my fellow veterans, the US MARINES. I'm more than happy that they deploy before the US Army. When the US Marine Barracks was bombed in Lebanon, I felt the loss too. My grandfather was a US Marine in WW2. I go to his grave often. I hope we still have a few of the WW2 veterans still alive. They all experienced far more than any of us.

Served 20 years in our nations Marine Corps. Best and worst time of my young life. Wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. Gunnery Sergeant. USMC Ret.

Marines hate it when you call Drill Instructors Drill Sergeants. The army has Drill sergeants, us Marines have Drill instructors.

"Suffers alot of health problems and dies young" yeah that's why they're our mascot.

There is no such thing as a "ex-Marine". Once a Marine Always a Marine. Semper Fi.

I’m an active serving marine, I personally knew the marine who died from the heart attack. We came from the same home town, even went through boot camp together, the title of marine meant everything to him and I’ve never watched a any other marines exert such resilience and pride. Trust me, if anyone should have been there it was him and if I could trade places with anyone it would still be him, his name was Jacob Lamm.

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT HOLD ON... DID YOU JUST CALL A MARINE A SOLDIER?

When I was in back in the early 70s we got the Army's discarded equipment.

My daughter was in law school came home one day said she wanted to be a Marine and she is currently a Marine she signed up for five years she’s completed one year I’m very proud of her my grandfather fought in World War II with all of my great uncles my dear cousin was killed in Vietnam stepping on a landmine my other dear cousin was injured in Iraq our family has always supported the The United States military I owned a manufacturing company for 30 years I did quite a bit of government work I never overcharge I always provide a top quality product with pride

As a marine I can assure you that we never get the "Good stuff". Lol

Our NVGs are not worth $20,000..... they're about $1,500. You must be thinking of MARSOC equipment. Marines are infamously given the worst gear available in the US military

I love how feminists are silent when it comes to women having lower physical fitness requirements in the military.

Most war time confrontations with Marines, the ratio of Marines to the enemy was 1 Marine wounded or killed, 10 enemy combatants were killed.

Qualification: Mentally Stable?? A US Marine?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

“Marines get the good stuff” No, we don't. Army gets the good stuff. Marines lag behind about 20 years.

I signed up and was accepted for the USMC PLC program in 1975, at 17. My dad had to sign off. Went into FDNY in 1980 and served 22 1/2 years, including 9/11. Corps values are a must if our society is to survive.

As a Marine of 8 years, I can tell you for me the running was the hardest part. If that doesn't bother you, give it a go.

And once you earn the title, MARINE, it's for life.

Another shocking fact is that you never call a Marine a Soldier...

The whole “holding onto your next rank” thing is funny to me because he said we “keep it in cover” and he doesn’t realize how literal it is. We put the chevron inside the tops of our covers (headwear) usually

Proud to be called a U.S. Marine! Semper Fi

The leatherneck was protection against sabers, not bayonets

that dude who saved all those prostitutes at Saigon is the ultimate hero👏👏👏 mad respecc on his actions

Thank you for producing these thought-provoking programs!

The Marine Corps birthday is established by when Samuel Nicholas started the Marines in TunTavern hinge 10 November 1775. Not 1790

The Marine Corps birthday is November 10th 1775, because it was the day the the Corps was born, not because its when samuel nicholas was born.

as a Marine I can inform you, Marines are required at all times to their living areas inspection ready and clean at all times and we have one day out of the week, normally a Thursday dedicated to cleaning, we call it field day.

My brother is a marine and it makes you a chiseled stone man, he went in at around 250-280 lbs and came out at 220. They refine you as much as they can.

I got an age waver and joined at 29. Proud to be a US Marine. This is my son's profile.

Marines rely on the Navy for their medical, dental and chaplains. Navy Corpsmen are part of every Marine unit and provide medical care for wounded Marines.

Marine Boot Camp is 90 days if your lucky. Also, soldiers did not raise the flag on Iwo, Marines and a Sailor did!

So bad it was funny. Thank you for this dose of comedy. I needed that. For all of you who actually have served, thank you for your dedication, and your service. Semper Fi.

Thank you very much for this video ❤❤

I was a security forces troop in the Air Force and Having trained with and deployed with marines I can say that aside from my fellow airmen I wouldn’t want any other branch watching my 6

You don’t have to be a US citizen. I joined when I was still a green card holder and got my citizenship after getting wounded from Iraq. Pres. Bush was personally at my oath taking to become a US Citizen at Bethesda Naval Hospital. Here how it happened: I got wounded in Iraq and I was already medevac to US. After going though my 5th surgery for my blown up shoulder. Some Naval officer came to my room and told me that there was a VIP coming to visit us in 2 days and asked me if I have any request. Since I am still groggy from meds and probably still high, I told him I have no idea and asked him what did the other wounded marines wish was. He told me, one wanted to meet Jennifer Aniston and one who has been a marine for 25 years asked for us citizenship. I didn’t think of it too seriously because I just wanted to be left alone with some morphine because I just had a bone graph. I told him that I myself is not yet a US citizen and it would make me feel complete US Marine if I become a citizen. He wrote that down and left. If you guys want to know what happened next just goggle: Lcpl Oj Santamaria Daly City US Marine Citizenship. I am proud to have paid for my US citizenship in sweat, blood and tears.

My Father served 33 years in the Marine Corp. One combat tour in Korea and two combats tours in Vietnam. The Marines are the red headed step child of the military services. Hand me downs are what they get from the Army and Navy for the most part. But the Marines know how to adapt and overcome. Every piece of equipment (Tanks, Trucks, Artillery etc.) they have received as a hand me down, they have made improvements to and have adapted to their specific mission. The M60 tank is a classic example of that adaptation. During the Gulf war of 1991, the Marines used what others called an obsolete platform and made it work to great effect. The Marine Corp Motto is Semper Fedelis, Latin for Always Faithful! The second Marine Corp motto is, Adapt and Overcome!

Drew Carey had a perfect PT score when he was in, me and some other marines met him in Vegas and he gave us tickets to his show and got to meet him and the rest of the comedians back stage. Really nice guy

Fact 52: Marine is always capitalized. (This is coming from a soldier)

I cant speak as to what Marines carry into combat these days but when I was in from 93 to 98 it was mostly 2nd hand from the army and navy. Most of our vehicles and equipment was worn out before we ever laid our hands on it. But as all Marines know its all about ones ability to adapt amd overcome.

I've been out of the Corps since the late 80s but my pride has never waned. Once a Marine always Marine.

As a Marine Vet from East LA, the main thing I loved is that they mentioned Guy Gabaldon!!!! Even the Marine Corp don't mention or talk about him or Eugene Obregon!!! Same with the army with Ruben Salazar!!!

Samuel Nichols' birthday was NOT 10 November. In fact, his actual date of birth is unknown. The legislation which was passed to create the Marine Corps was enacted on 10 November, 1775. THAT is why the Marine Corps birthday is celebrated on that date.

Marines are not allowed to wear their utility uniforms within the civilian public.

6:27 You Got Dipper and Mabel Pines from Gravity Falls with the Marine.

The leather collar wasn’t for defense against a bayonet, it was for defense against sword slashes to the neck.

We also have to be able to hit a man sized target from 500 yards away. A man kneeling from 300 yards, and a man laying down 200 yards.

Oh yeah btw, the term "ex Marine" is often pejorative. It's only really used for those who've been dishonorably discharged. "Former Marine" is a much preferred term

Squid: “ But you are a department of the Navy!” Jar Head: “Yeah, the MEN’s department!!”

What's the ugliest thing on a Marine Corps uniform? A Marksmens Badge, the 'ol toilet seat...

Marines are Marines Soldiers are in Army Airmen are in Air Force Sailors are in Navy ( Marines are the mens department of the navy) ooorahh. Semper Fi.

As a paralyzed disabled veteran, US Army, I'll definitely salute the US Marines. They go first, with the hopes that the rest of us don't have to. But when they do need backup, veterans will always come to the aid of veterans.

I'm a 9 year Veteran of The Cruddy Crotch , served most with Third Recon out of Onna Point Okinawa and 5th ANGLICO out of Phu Bai Vietnam , Semper Fi until the day I die , former SSGT David Baker.

Thank you for making this video because now I know how to get in the Marines like my uncle

Marines are also know for doing more with less.

Had you truly done research, you would have known you never, ever, call a Marine a soldier...and I say that as a proud mother of both a Marine and a soldier.

Thank you for your service to our country.

they say a Marine never forgets his Drill instructors name.

Marines are the men's department if the NAVY.

that horse, reckless was in the Korean war, when the Marines left. they took that horse with them and it lived at Camp Pendleton the rest of its life and there is a statue to it.

That's really interesting!

This is the Branch I am joining when I turn 18. Can't Wait!!!!

Also no such thing as. An ex. Marine, once Marine always a Marine

*From POOPING to facts about the military. THIS CHANNEL HAS IT ALL*

Random marine solder:why did you want to join the military? Me:i m not an expert at being fit but i m not bad at firearms The random marine solder again:soooo..you joined the marines because your a firearm expert or something? Me:uh...yup

Amazing

As a marine it's more like 90 days not 70 since its 13 weeks long. Dont know why they got that wrong also fact 39 is wrong drill instructor are not allowed to to eat or drink water in front of recruits. I never once saw any of them eating drinking or sleeping(of course I know they did though)

“But we guess the marines have the good stuff” *Lol*

A marine friend of my mine once said “don’t call us jarhead. You can out stuff in Jars.” I didn’t argue.

Im joining the military but im contemplating on joining either the marines or the navy, and this video pushed me a but towards the navy, I’d like to see a video like this but about the navy

Fact #51: there ain’t no party like a working party

Fact #51 : Did you know when Soldiers die they don't respawn

Respects from the Army Airborne. Why did you not cover Recon and Raiders as part of MSOC? BTW, at the strength you mention, almost everyone is combat arms. All other support functions (incl medic) are provided by the Navy. So you may regard a Marine the same as a Ranger or a PJ. It takes more than 20 support people to put each one of them in battle. Our Warriors were the tip of the spear, but the modern battlefield is no longer survivable by infantry and specops casualties are always high.

Video makes me want to enlist

the most bloodthirsty branch of the US Military.

A marine friend told me something that made my blood run cold: "Be nice to everyone you meet, always be professional, and always have a plan to kill them." 💀

Do a video on army infantry OSUT. Its very different then regular army basic

Nice to meet you gunny

1. Marines are not soldiers 2. When the Army can't cut it, call the Marines.

Marines are pretty badass.

Shout out to my Parris Island Alums.

Making that Marine hold an umbrella over Obama was a disgrace.

At bootcamp on Parris island Drill Instructors don’t eat chow with you.

Everything on the Marine Dress Blue uniform has some deeper meaning, symbolism or purpose beyond the obvious. For example, the collar is high and rigid, not as high as the old "leatherneck" collars which gave us the nickname, but in that style. There are 7 belt loops, for each of the 7 seas. There are 13 buttons, one for each of the colonies. The trousers and blouse are two different colors, representing the largest 2 oceans we have dominion over, the Atlantic and Pacific, and much much more....

Ive struggled with PTSD since 2010 and I can tell you first hand its not easy. Veterans or anyone reach out for help if you need it please. It doesnt make you weak. It makes you stronger for being able to admit you need help. One suicide is too many let alone 22 a day.

A "Marine Shot" is when you snort salt, squirt a lime in your eye, take a shot of alcohol, then someone punches you in the face.... Whoever invented this was obviously a Marine 🤣

I'm not from the US, but the Marines get's massive respect from little old Denmark. As we are slowly increasing our spending there have been talks about a possible Marine like unit in the future as well. I also hope you guys eventually get the help you deserve, it's a problem here too, my uncle was in Kosovo and they were not even that many. He got zero help, the best he got was a picture of him in a newspaper as he mounted his ACP with his friends. Keep fighting the good fight. I would have joined the army myself (I know Marines aren't army, but we ain't got marines here) probably as armored infantry as they seem to be the tough guys here, but my epilepsy got in the way sadly.

We’re the poorest branch of them all, we DO NOT carry the “good stuff” and nor are we called soldiers

In the Marines, you're only a Sergeant if you're an E-5. When you're an E-6 you're a Staff Sergeant, E-7 you're a Gunnery (Gunny) Sergeant and so on. DO NOT CALL ANY MARINE E-6 AND ABOVE SERGEANT OR YOU WILL GET YOUR HEART POPPED!!

USMC 89-93!!! loved it all

When i was in boot camp i had the chance to ask my senior when did they have time to eat since we never saw any of our drill instructors eat. He told me and i quote "The thing that kept us fueled up was your guys fear and honey buns washed down with some monster". The only time i laughed while i was in boot and it was the best laugh.

A marine would crawl under a line painted on the ground if commanded. He'd dig a tunnel if he had to.

As a paralyzed disabled veteran of the US Army, I'm not too proud to say that the US Marines are way tougher. But they have to be. They are the first to go in any military situation. But the 82nd Air Bourne Division isn't far behind the US Marines. But if you say that any branch of service is better over the other, no. We are all brothers in the US Military. When the US Marines Barracks was attacked in Lebanon, my heart felt as if someone ripped it out. And if the President would have let the rest of the US Military to respond, oh you can believe we're head hunting for those responsible. The only time you'll find the Army rooting against Navy is the Army / Navy football game that's played yearly. Win or lose, we salute each other.
