How To Make A Marine Corps Fighting Hole 

How many hours consume in digging?

Hey Cpl Kelly, I've been going back and watching any of your videos that I somehow missed and I gotta say, you was killin it back then as well!! I've never seen anyone actually dig a fighting hole, until now!! I know that had to be an azz kicker, especially in the desert setting!!! On to the next one....

@@TheMongo1357 i was going to say the same thing! Outstanding af!!

You dig just like a damn Jarhead!! Jus kidding, Me and God love the U.S.M.C.

I've heard these referred to as Ranger graves before. I was Navy so this is a bit beyond my experience.

😂😂😂The leading cause of death is being born alive. 😂😂😂

I’m dead 😂

😂

Me: preparing for civil war 2

step one:dig hole step two:teach it to fight

Raise an army of fighting holes and take over the world.

Rule #1 of Fight Hole: Never talk about fight hole.

@@calebjohnson6934 haha lol

Step one: Dig hole. Step two: Fight a-holes!

Nope the Corspman know too.

@@johnnewsome4177 SOME of the corpsmen know. Not the bluesiders though.

Your are missing the grenade sump?

Then go next level and dig that hole in the forest of your choice.

Was it hard to dig one on the ship?

Mgr. Robert Slezák And you can’t complain

MGR. yeah sure.

I watched 2 hours of digging holes in the movie holes and I loved it

@@TheTyphy 😂😂😂 That was a pretty good flick

Roflmao my question is ho long did it actually take and where's your cover support corporal

But on the upside, they won't be coming over to borrow your shit.

or anywhere u can be seen, for that matter

Jeremy U People still do that in 2017?

Personal experiance??

We dug a pond in our back yard and in the process we hit something metal and BIG. I think it is a buried car and we hit the roof. Illinois black dirt digs easy.

With over a million views actually

1.3m??? My toddler dug something like that at a beach....

digging holes and chopping wood while listening to metal is how I relax.

Gee filling the holes is easy just use a Ctruck.

The Storm Shelter spent a good portion of the morning and afternoon doing this at ft. polk, then about five hours later, exactly what you said happened. fortunately i only ever had to dig three. once in basic and twice with my unit. the rest of the time we were moving so often it would be pointless.

this guy understands

I Never had to dig such hole in my military training. But then again there is basically only 20-30 cm earth before granite ground everywhere so it would be kinda pointless.

Shoveling shit learns you things - universal fact

sure sure, go find a marine thats in a litteral war and ask him to dig u a hole

Preferably an E2 or below! 😂

Well said!

Yeah in the Poconos, a hole like that would require dynamite.

SE PA here brother. Also you should know that the sheets are moving into Wawa territory

They’re a bitch to dig in some places. And of there’s tree roots, you’re screwed

First 6 inches in northwestern Pittsburgh area are nice dirt. Then 3 feet of the thickest and rockiest clay ever found. Then the rest of the way will be a mixture of granite, sandstone and slate. I sure dont miss digging that shit. I rent an escavator to dig my trenches or holes now.

I live near Hazleton and own one of those shovels. NO WAY your digging a 6foot hole with one. Not with out pickaxe, axe or hatchet . To many Large roots, large rocks..

One of my first jobs was digging trenches and holes, I learned to keep my shovel sharp! I keep an e tool around and have since I was a kid (I like holes, we didn't have tv) I sharpen the straight edge, it's easy to do and maintain with anything slightly abrasive.

James ME TOO.

I had to dig my hole and the latrine in a Danish pine forest. Fuck me, i never had to many blisters on my fucking hands

Georgia Clay for me :-(

James Halleluyah same!

Little Fish it's markus

you made me choke laughing hahahaha

THATS WHO HE LOOKS LIKE LMAO

Lol

THAT'S WHY HE LOOKS SO FAMILIAR LMFAO

Yep! Same here...

Yes

Professor Farnsworth: who needs a proper shelter and a diamond sword when you have..A GUN

Lol. Creeper trap..

wow you said a lot I hate Reservist calling themselves SOLDIERS they don't know about those midnight calls about JOE or Joe's family, Awards, NCOERs, your family, then you deploy multiple of times then you get back then you are PSC to another unit and off again. or you get hurt then you get med board

I absolutely love you're name

@@17SAIMPOINT you are confusing "soldier" with "active combatant" - there's a reason them lads and ladies are called *reserv*ists and not regulars.

@@17SAIMPOINT i get what you mean though mate

Darrly Simon uh, yeah, we deal with all that shit in the reserves too, and we also get to stress out about real life in between all the green weenie bullshit.

I dont tkink so, maybe do it to smoke ? lol

He probably did it to hide it...

Kieran Blookie get rid of it

A thousand years from now some archaeologist is going to be digging and wonder how a cigarette from the 20th century ended up in the 18th.

Pretty much shows, that people haven't been in the army. Those with the minecraft character as avatars etc. You can expect a lot of shit in the army. Your whole company will have to wake up in the middle of the night, because there is this one room, whose trash can had one candy wrapper in it. "What should we do, to make sure this never happens again?" "Oh I know, grab the shovels and lets bury your fallen comrade pvt. Candy Wrapper like a true soldier" And then you'll dig a fucking 2m deep grave for that candy wrapper, salute it when he's lowered into the grave, sing the anthem and dig all the dirt back in the grave. Not to mention, you can't dig mindlessly. You'll have to remove the top soil carefully first, so you can place it all back later. And then you'll go in the showers, whole company has to clean up in 15 minutes and by that time it's already 6:00AM and you'll have to wake up. Most likely the OP was smoking when he wasn't allowed to. So he had to bury the cigarette butt in the same manner.

kneelz s it’s a joke stupid

depends on their supply condition

a.k.a cigars

Fact, that is why I woild bring, a dirt auger! FoxHole dug in 1 minute!

@@thesurvivalist. it's smart but depending on how heavy it is, all you may be doing is weighing yourself down

Doctrinally, he would have also dug a grenade sump on the front end at a 45* downward angle if he was worried about grenades, though I like the idea of the longer overhead logs. Every time I had to dig a foxhole was on the side of a mountain in a desert, no trees sadly

I been to the NTC over 14 times as blue force, 7 times as Opforce I seen it rain several of times but hell I was Infantry I wished I would have enlisted in something else but the time for me to reelist I was an Staff

He looks like he must be near 29 given that appears to be a Joshua Tree in the background. Been there twice, Sat in the back of a Humvee and felt survivor's guilt for being a Weapons Company corpsman rather than a Rifle Company corpsman haha.

Out 45 years now and still hate 29palms.

Taylor Thomas You do realize “gott mit uns" just means “God With Us" no connection to the Nazi Party because the term was common in Prussia before the Nazi party really existed

TheReal Lifehacks Similar to the Finnish Air Force using the Swastika symbol in the early 1900s; it had no Nazi connotation at that time.

TheReal Lifehacks u cant educate anymore good trained dog. Didn't u realize how brave and good he jumped by just mentioning the name Rommel?

the swastika was used because its a religious symbol. it's pretty old.. used in hinduism buddism etc etc. the churches in coventry, england all had swastikas on them. its like me going and making my own army and using the christian cross as our symbol. does the christian cross now become evil? no... only ignorant people think the swastika is evil. it actually means "good fortune" or "well being" in japan it is called manji

Taylor Thomas - I think you're actually wrong there.

+mackdaddy1911a1 Thank you Sir

Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert CAMACHO - the automated fight hole king. Did you make some side money?

...or water it.

Yeah if yiu water it in your golden

If you preserve the roots it could live, would be tough in a rush though

Martial*

If it's martial law, it won't be the back door... and they won't be knocking. ...and they'll make good use of your freshly dug hole

MrBartoriginal good job, and good idea.

MrBartoriginal read desc

"I don't see any fighting position." "Sir, that's kinda the point, sir."

Lol yea read description

MrBartoriginal kk

Yep, to dig in my yard I have to pour water on it, let it soften, dig a foot or so of sloppy clay, then repeat. Good news is that the berm will stop small caliber rounds once it re-hardens.

If there ain't caliche we ain't trainin

PCShogun xD

My yard is nothing but rocks, roots, clay and associated pines.

marin1977 yeah but we're fighting in sandy places rn so don't expect more

offer a big box of crayons to 0311s stop the feels from hurting

Yes...they need something to do between actually fighting wars, unlike anyone other than an 03.

Step 4: Get informed by platoon commander that machine guns aren't needed and go hump the alpha shelf with CAAT. Actually happened. With steps one through three. Lol I would say those poor souls, but I was lonely and sad right there with them.

Exactly....alpha shelf smh....Camp Horno is where i grew up hahaha

Haha

How'd you get them?

@@user-rp4et4hc4z Wanking?

@@MeAbroad2004 : What else is a hideyhole for?

I learnt that the hard way

I didn't wear them and had nasty blisters, learned my lesson there.

Agreed, this is mentioned in the description box. Thanks for watching

Yea, was wondering why he omitted the granade sump, it's just an arms deep hole in the side sloping down from the bottom of the water sump. Theory is that you can kick a granade down there and pray you'll live....

Embrace the Suck!

Yup!!!

What was he looking for? Think this dude has seen too many John Wayne movies

edwardstarcock swinger In the beginning, you really have to try and keep the thought of your head that you may very well be digging your own grave. Once you've dug a few, you almost wish that it were your grave

They're nicknamed graves sometimes, although that usually refers to the shallow, sleep forever kind.

If it was a grave there would be no reason for the dirt to be place evenly all around it. Graves are dug woth the dirt in one pile.

"Dig Your Own Grave and Save!"

Indeed, but that was 1914, not 2014. And there were several million soldiers who participated in it.

Well I imagine many people worked together and they had a few full length shovels available to help. I can imagine once you get the hole deep enough digging "sideways" is a bit easier compared to digging straight down

You’d be amazed what the threat of being killed will make men do.

Me too! Finally someone has all the right content in one channel!

William Fotey yup we're supposed to be digging holes soon for underground residential we're gonna have to have pickaxes they said.

That's true I spent all day once and only got one foot down

band of brothers

That why you aint a marine

buz butler There's a reason why it was 6x2

@@AldoSchmedackThis is only for medium range battle with infintry At Close range you can get dead by Hand Grenades Or by Mortars

I like how most people can't take a joke lol

Lol ok boot

Are you still in the hole?

How was ITB ?

Captain Spike excuse me? prove I "served"? who the f××k are you?

Captain Spike lmao.... go away troll... you made a post exposing me? lol... not only can you go see my RU-vid channel, on facebook there is a page by the same name... enjoy

Captain Spike btw.... go see my video about black Rifle Coffee Company.... your mentioned in it, we'll your snowflake tears are lmao

Good Ole 29 stumps, don't miss that hell hole one bit.

Nothing like the smell of Lake Bandini in the summer heat.

I tried doing in the red clay of south Georgia one time..... I fired up the tractor after about 3 hours and no joy. lol

yeah, you make a fighting dent in that dirt

I was about to comment on how impossible this would be in ohio

Yeah man. Nothing but clay and rocks here.

kelton davis dig 3 inches and hit a rock surrounded by clay intertwined with roots.

Why would you insult a good Enlisted man like that? Does he look mentally disabled to you?

Hold on, he works for a living.

Sheeoot, if ya like that you ought to see me 33' sandstone mineshaft...

My uncle was a Canadian soldier in Cypress he was a sniper

🤣😂

someone might fall into it... maybe our brothers or sisters

Spot on, but he's not a soldier, he's a Marine.

Marines are warriors not soldiers

Yeah I don't think he's going to reply back to ya.

Benito Mussolini He's probably using a spoon tho.

The Ulsterman alright you had your stereotypical fun, now kindly stfu. He didn't ask for any of that.

Or in the soon-to-come 'aftermath' of that Kyle Rittenhouse trail...

One well thrown grenade and ya got yourself a soldier smoothie.

Dude stop whining i had to do it in Finland at winter with rocky clay :D Half of this size and took 6 hours :D (Ground was Frozen)

Jerry Keränen was it fun? I’m a child and I want to learn more.

DarkGuitarKid: Why is it people from overseas do everything harder and have it worse than Americans. Then they call us whiners??We have rocks our ground freezes but they have it worse no matter what for some freeken reason. Blah blah blah!
