HMX-1 Presidential Pilots 

I had a fellow Marine buddy test for HMX-1 and they accepted him and we all knew he would go and they'd take him. He was one of those super cool and super squared away Marines. Every Marine eventually meets one of those kind of Marines. Ya know, runs a 300pft, high pro/cons, wins every board he goes on and doesnt come off thinking your below him. Thats the kinda Marines that are at HMX1 yuut

DEVIL DOG LEATHERNECKS --- DEVOTION TO DUTY , THEIR HISTORY & TRADITIONS , THE FEW -- THE PROUD -- THE MARINES , AMERICA'S TIP OF THE SPEAR , READY WHEN CALLED UPON --- WHENEVER & WHEREVER WITH DEVOTION TO DUTY .

Oh, the 89th has had a class A mishap. (VC-137B in Japan in the eighties.) And they have run AFI into the mud.

Tom Herdman for real lol they should

@@loganglisson3194 Its cush dude. Super cush. You literally travel everywhere and get the sweet sweet per diem.

It was the most professional unit I was ever assigned to. I was there from 2004-2008 as a Sgt.

I gonna assume there are none.

Future LEO , I was one. See my comment right above yours. The majority of the command is LCpl and below.

I’ve never seen them fly in it, has it been done?

@@Horizon301. the Marines and the press Corp use the Ospreys

My uncle worked for a subcontractor which made O-rings. There were defects. My uncle refused to clear the faulty components. He was fired, and nothing was changed. He still believes that some of the failures were a result of these faulty O-Rings. The defects were a sort of hollow or inconsistency in the rubber, invisible to the naked eye but easily seen when held up to a light.

@@Horizon301. No, the president only flies in the Sea Kings and WhiteHawks.

@@Horizon301. Yep. They flew directly over my house in South Texas when Captain Babyfists came down to pet "his" wall right after the insurrection. My condolences to the brave and honorable men who had to protect that treasonous megalomaniac.

Very well said lol

+Greg B. Yea!

Obama is the best

I love how some people here are saying Obama was the worst when we literally have Trump now. Total disconnect from reality.

@K RC @Vincent Snyder LMAO this Obama comment thread reminds me so much of this fucking gem of a video: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wPMEC2mcorY.html

Helo mechanic to sniper...sounds legit.

@@thebronzetoo in fact he then became a submarine captain, and then in fact he became a navy seal

Zamuraii Cobalt don’t forget he was a five star admiral general and killed bin laden with a toothpick

@@zamuraiicobalt896 lol

QuickLoad I think it's from Rome total war

QuickLoad its off pirates of the Caribbean i think

QuickLoad vccc

WARZONE GETAWAY ?

The VH-60N Whitehawk, is used for overseas travel as the VH-3D is too difficult to transport. They have to pretty much remove the whole top part of the helicopter to get it to fit. The Whitehawk is easier as it squats low enough and can be readied faster on the other end. The Navy still uses UH-1Ns called Cotton Tops but these are used for Admirals and other officials. The reason that a Bell has not been used, is because since the first purpose built Executive Transport was built, it has been a Sikorsky helicopter. Sikorsky has been flying the POTUS for 60 years now.

We had Presidential UH-1Ns during Nixon and Ford Years Green Bottom with Gold Stripe and White Tops!

World of guns, yup!

Only the pilots that are flying the President wear the Blues. During training and other support ops, they were pickle suits like any other pilot.

ImpendingJoker sincerely appreciate the information!

I was a pilot there at that time 1/Lt - Captain.

HMX-1 might have a thread on reddit, or facebook.

You can go there as Enlisted or as an officer.... HMX is composed of many different MOS's. You can even be Administration and still go, just to give you an idea.

@@RoadGlideSTShenanigans I just want to fly. I know I need to be an officer.

@@magicb7600 I used to be a Marine recruiter.... How old are you know?

@@RoadGlideSTShenanigans 18

You didn't listen to what was said. It's ONLY for Marine Corps pilots. Hence the name of the chopper, Marine One.🤦🏽 When you play again pay attention to what is said.

As is said, HMX-1 is a Marine Corps unit, that said, the Army did at one time have the job of Executive Transport, and when the POTUS was on board it was Army One.

@@ImpendingJoker That is correct, Army-1 was housed at Fort Belvoir and they took turns flying POTUS Eisenhower since 1959. I was the first Crew Chief of the first M1 White Top HUS-1 (H-34) Helicopter We were housed at Quantico VA and had a stand by at Naval Air Station, Anacostia MD!!

The airforce has airforce one the marines have marine one. This is just the marines squadron.

Hahaha

Manny J You could always apply to USSS after being discharged. When in doubt, google it.

200% SMUG the Marines in the White House are enlisted.

Kinda dumb, you can see enlisted there.

James Smith Yes. But only Officers fly

The Enlisted Marines are known as "8th & I Marines". You'll have to enlist into the Marines, demand Infantry MOS guaranteed, get through MCRD boot camp, then Marine Combat Training, then School Of Infantry and along the way be assessed for possible entry into Presidential Security Forces. It's a long road that many have travelled.

The V-22 is never Marine One because it never flies the president.

@@blackwatch6649 what's it used for, with that paint color?

Gabriel Vazquez It looked like support personnel and cameramen were exiting the ramp in the video.

Lts at TBS use HMX 1 for field ops and for that we rode in V-22s

@@gabrielvazquez1691 It is still an HMX-1 support aircraft. It's used to move parts and personnel.

Presidents do not fly in Osprey!

DJ Rossi Mossi THE BROKEN

Get over it ❄️

@@roccop3760 never.

You idiots that deny Obama are the exact same as the radical leftists that say trump isn't their president either.

All of the branches use helicopters in some capacity. They’re very valuable when deploying troops or providing close air support.

(Recognizing full well this is the USMC’s official account as I post this) the entirety of USASOC, 82nd ABN, 101st ABN, and a host of other units would be rather surprised to hear that they are a ‘backup’ organization. Different organizations exist for different missions. Let’s say you hypothetically have a rapidly unfolding crisis in the pacific rim, a rapidly deployable expeditionary organization with robust internal air assets like the Marines would be just the ticket. Let’s say you have the real prospect of a high intensity ground conflict in Eastern Europe erupting against a near-peer threat...that mission set has an organization like an Armored Brigade Combat Team from 1st Cavalry Division written all over it. An airfield in a denied enemy held area needs to be seized so the US can rapidly expand a lodgment and flow in follow on forces to expand their combat power in the area? A Brigade of the 82nd ABN is just what the doctor ordered.

If your speaking of the president they show stepping off the chopper. I agree

@@brianarnold5624 lmao y'all still support trump? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Of course.

God bless Trump 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

DecapitatedApple as a Brit, wouldn’t most of the military support him over Obama due to the great funding he has put forward in revitalising American Might, also, think what you want but the US economy is a great success story, I can bet that most leaders are impressed.

😴😴

Sorry for your low IQ.

OH THE TRUMP PROPAGANDA,I REMEMBER THAT.

hahahaha so fuckin funny another useless bash on trump just because fuck trump. fucking dumb ass

I thought he was pretty swell.

Better than trump

Cody Burtch I can drink to that

Tim, You are incorrect! At last he did not try to overthrow the government!
