That’s so motivating @johnharris6655 , thank you for sharing brother ✊

He probably got double rations at chow time if your too lean they do it to help recruits gain weight and fuel the rigors of boot camp

I thought I remembered hearing the marines went off the coast of somalia before the US was formed to fight pirates that threatened shipping lanes.my uncle Fred was a marine who went to Korea to fight.he was one of the finest men who I have ever known

there was a Marine expeditionary unit that was at sea near Somalia thwt stopped before the Blackhawk down incident I don’t know how long they stayed in the capital till relived of duty by the army v… in Korea it got wild during the Battle of Chosin Reviser the Marines were surrounded by the chineee it is then Chesty said We’re surrounded. That simplifies the problem.” And “They are in front of us, behind us, and we are flanked on both sides by an enemy that outnumbers us 29:1. They can’t get away now.” .. now I may be wrong here but I seem to remember the chines lost 7 divisions In the battle I may be totally wrong I haven’t read about the Koran war as much as as WW2 but being the veterans had seen fierce fighting in the Pacific theater of operations so they were battle hardened

@@user-vf7nu8lm8cyou have to be like really really slim though. Like below the requirements. It’s not a bonus though, you eat so fast you can’t chew enough, then you run three miles and throw it all up. Doesn’t happen all the time, but a few times, it wasn’t easy to keep that chow down, and I never got double rats

That is an amazing legacy of service my friend, thank you for sharing. I received my commission as an Officer of Marines through Annapolis as well, few know how difficult that route truly is. Thank you for supporting our channel as we work to stop homeless Veterans. Semper Fi ✊

Semper Fi, Brother!! 🇺🇸🦅🌎⚓️

@jamesgoodman8868 - major oversight on my side brother. The Frozen Chosin are definitely an integral part of our rich history. I created a special video on our “advance in a different direction.” hopefully the link below connects. Thanks for supporting the channel and helping us fight Veteran Homelessness. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eZ6gqsulnLG8cZc.htmlsi=XFF0NXK6SJopzExs

That’s an amazing legacy of service @gunnyski6304! Sorry to hear about your Dad, I completely relate in that my Dad was my inspiration to become a Marine as well. It is a special bond. Thank you for your service Devil Dog ✊

I also served in Vietnam in 1966 as a 0331 machine gunner. Lost some brother Marines but I will always remember these men who sacrificed their lives protecting their brother z Marines. Sleep in Peace my brothers. Semper Fi

Thank you @davidberman5608 - unbelievable to think there was a time where this great nation thought we didn’t need a Marine Corps 😮

@@LegionofMarines "Semper Fee?! Never, EVER! It's Semper Fi as in Semper Fry without the "r". Semper Fi !!! The shortened version of Semper Fidelis. Chief Warrant Officer (W3) U.S. Marine Corps (Retired) '68 - '91. Served in numerous MOSs (Military Occupational Specialty(ies) in sillyvillian vernacular, job positions) too many to list here from South Vietnam to Paris, France to the Pacific, again, and duty stations from East Coast to West Coast and back again. The best 22 years of my life! Would do it all over again but stay active until the Commandant told me it was time to ... allow the younger Marines a chance at the helm.

Copy that @eddierodrgz77 - I’m working on a special Chosin video… please come back and check it out ✊

Thank you @agneseuleski8305 - I appreciate your support to help us combat Veteran homelessness. Semper Fi ✊

Thank you for your service @gregory196011 - our history is rich with nexus moments that made the Corps we all know and love today. I’m working on a new video about the Halls of Montezuma so it can be remembered as more than just a lyric in our song. Semper Fi and thank you for supporting our channel.

Thank you Soldier, I have only respect for the United States Army. As a Retired Marine, the Army always treated us with respect. Your History is as great as ours. Thank you for your service. GySgt retired 75/96

Thank you @mikeks8181 !!!! We do have a rich history, Montezuma might not even make the song if it was written today 🤣

That would be a viral video!

Haha - you stayed until the end!!! Thank you brother, trust me I got better at the video thing after this one.

Thanks Shipmate - Semper Fi ✊

Yeah my bad, I don’t like using my voice but rest assured… 1995 - 2006 MOS 6602 United States Naval Academy Commissioned as a 2ndLt of Marines Trained in Quantico, VA at TBS

Thanks @JimBro317 - this was one of my first and it did not meet the new standard I am able to up hold. Hopefully you can check out another video about Iwo Jima or Chosin Few… they are more high speed low drag ✊

Yeah - this was one of my early attempts at using AI. I should have paid more attention to detail. I appreciate you staying until the end though, really helps the channel grow so we can fight Veteran homelessness.

Grrrrr - get some 🦅🌎⚓️

Hoorah!!! ✊

It’s really bad ai

Yeah this was one of my first videos, not my best work for sure. As a Marine I know we struggle to color within the lines but looking back I probably should’ve scrapped it and started over. But this channel is for a good cause - we are fighting Veteran homelessness so every Like, every Subscribe and every Share gets us closer to monetizing so we can take care of our brothers and sisters. Semper Fi ✊

Yeah - I tried the whole AI thing and epically failed. Hope you still subscribed to help us fight Veteran homelessness. Check out my newer videos with actual footage.

#facts - this was one of my early goes at a video. Appreciate your support though, hopefully the Chosin video is more high speed/low drag. Semper Fi ✊

Respect - this was one of my first videos. I moved away from AI art, not up to standard. Hopefully you can check out some of the other videos I made and subscribe. We are trying to monetize and fight Veteran homelessness ✊

Really, what do you base that on? GySgt USMC retired .

🤣🤣🤣 you said cake hole 🤣🤣🤣 Now that’s a real jarhead slinging hate and discontent. Facts, this was one of my first videos. AI art and voice over because I don’t sound so good on the mike. Check out my video on Iwo Jima or the Chosin Few, rumor has it I figured out how to do it right but let me know. For some reason this video keeps getting views though, which I love. My intent is to monetize and support the fight against Veteran Homelessness. Semper Gumby Devil Dog ✊

@@LegionofMarines from my early teen years I learned I was good with history and bootcamp made me more interested in my corps history so I do read a lot about the history of the Corps I just need to get the thought like how old was Dan Daily during the boxer revolution and bam I’m reading it so I am pretty knowledgeable even with small quotes from my older brother Marines
