I Asked Marines What They Thought Of Other Branches 

Air Force: Brain, Army: Body, Navy: Tools, Coast Guard: Armor, Marines: Muscle. We work together to keep moving forward.

I am a retired Army Apache helicopter pilot. Some Marines were pinned down in an ambush in Afghanistan. I was coming off mission with minimum 30 mm and Hellfire missile ordnance. I had to attack the enemy at low level because of mountainous terrain. I was shot down. Those wonderful Marines left their cover, to provide us with fire support and assist in extracting myself and my gunner from the aircraft.

I was a Sgt. in the Air Force during Vietnam. I have a ton of respect for the Marines. Just remember, when you need air support, give us a call, we'll send some A10's your way. I wouldn't mind having a Marines having my six any day.

My uncle Leo who passed a few years ago was a JarHead and fought on Iwo and Okinawa in WW2 and Frozen Chosen in Korean War. Even till his passing day he was a man that you never trifled with.

The Marine saying he’s Gay straight out like no big deal is crazy 😂😂😂 I joined during “Don’t ask don’t tell “ shit has really changed

Honestly. No branch should think any less of eachother, they all do their part. Respect that at least.

The branches are like a sibling relationship. We all are part of the same family, but love to talk shit about each other.

I came into this video with no expectations but I love it. I enjoy hearing these dudes be normal people it’s very inspiring

I'm a retired from the Army. These were great questions and genuine answers. I wish I had some of this advice before I joined and during my early years.

Ahhhh...no one..but no one ... beats our chairs...B-52 chair, A-10 chair, F-22, chair, B-52 chair, B-1 chair, F-15 chair, AC-130 gunship chair, F-16 Chair, the former SR-71 chair, U2 chair, ICBM Missile launch chair, etc., etc.,etc.,. It's all good. I just like bigger weapons... Retired USAF MSgt...24 years

I joined the Marine Corps infantry as a machine gunner 0331 and I honestly would say I didn't exactly "enjoy" it but I'll always be proud that I did serve and they truly taught me how to push myself beyond my limits. I loved carrying and shooting the biggest gun on the field but god damn those things were a bitch to clean aferwards lol

As a 15+ year Army Reservist with multiple deployments I thoroughly enjoyed this video and hearing perspectives of these men and women. We serve in different branches but were all on the same team fighting the same fight. Respect for all members of the military!!!

This is actually better than that recruitment ad they did a couple years ago. Good to know Marines are going strong.

I love the down home humbleness of all these Marines. More power that they are all super intelligent, self supporting and industrious. The commuity they live in are all the better with these quality human beings. Thank you for your sevice!!

Neat video. My dad and his father were active duty enlisted Marines. My great grandfather (their grandfather and father) was a Marine commissioned officer in the reserves who was activated for WW2 and was stationed in the South Pacific. Pretty neat to see all of these Marines enjoying themselves for the Marine Corps Birthday and Veterans Day.

Great video man, It's good to hear the perspectives and thoughts of other branchers from the Marines, I am Australian with a lot of british and Australian family members serverd in the first and second world wars, Vietnam, The Gulf war and peace keeping operations and the trade embargo on Iran, with an uncle who served in the Australian commando regiment and was deployed to Afghanistan 3 times before leaving active duty. Thanks man and although it's a little late, happy birthday marines from your friends from down under.

Happy Birthday to all of the former, present, and future Marines. I retired from the Air Force in 1995 as a Boom Operator having flown on KC-135’s and KC-10’s. I had two memorable experiences with the Marines while on active duty and after I retired. While on active duty, we had to do a fighter drag with 5 KC-135’s bringing 15 Marine F-4’s and their C-130 support plane from Guam back to Hawaii with a week layover on Wake Island. That was an adventure in that the poor island didn’t have enough beer and alcohol to sustain us the first day there. They ended up bringing alcohol from Hawaii to keep us entertained the whole week. Needless to say, the Marines generously entreated the Boom Operators during the entire week knowing that we had to get them across the ocean to Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay, which is now called Marine Corps Base Hawaii. I’ve refueled F-4’s, F-14’s, and F-18’s over the years, and they were always thankful for that Tanker being on station. After I retired, my coworker and I had to pleasure of teaching Marines Network Administration for MARFORRES. The standing joke on day one was ‘what can a Navy sub rider and a retired Air Force Boom Operator teach Marine Corp personnel?’, and our reply was, ‘you tell us in two weeks’. During those two weeks, we taught them everything that they would ever need to know about computer network administration, to include being ready for their certification, and they learned to have respect for the other branches of the military. So yes, all branches of the military can work together. It was an honor to work with the other branches of the military, (the Navy at Diego Garcia, the Marines Corps at Camp Pendleton, Miramar, and Iwakuni, and the Army in the country of Oman), during the 21 years that I served in the Air Force. Every branch deserves recognition and respect, and only those who have served can join in the cross-service banter that we do. For those thinking about joining, any branch that you serve in, do it proudly and with respect, as they all will make you a better person. Having served during Vietnam and Desert Shield/Storm, I’d do it all again if I had to. Very nice video!

I've been in 11 years total. 9 in the Marine Corps and 2 years in the Army so far. I'll be in the Army for another 9. I've had positive experiences in both and I love both.

Semper Fidelis and Happy Birthday! This was an excellent video to watch. I recognized 4th LAR, and I wanted to say I had the pleasure of working with some Marines from Delta Co back in September supporting Unitas. A great bunch overall!

Im Army and I agree with you guys its all fun and games but at the end of the day Im ready to put my life on the line for any other branch we’re all brothers and sisters in arms🫡

You deserve more subs, man. This was awesome and thanks for your service

Excellent video and great interview and responses. I served 28 years in the USAF and currently midway through a civilian career with the USMC. The esprit de corps in the Marines is 100% what differentiates it from the other services.

So inspiring, thanks for creating this video.

Every branch serves it's purpose. We all support each other when in combat. I myself graduated from infantry school at Ft. Benning Georgia class of 2004. The military has changed in many ways and I feel not for the good. I hope and pray we are able to defend ourselves when the crap hits the fan.

Oorah Marines. I whole heartedly appreciate y'all's sacrifice to our nation and it's people.

I served with some Marines in MP school at Ft. Gordon 73. Damn good drinking buddies. We kid each other about what branch is better but by the end of the day we respected each other.

Happy Birthday, Marines. Got a kick out of your video. Yeah, I know it was all tongue in cheek -- but I can remember the days when it wasn't. Ah, the wonders JRTC (and the concept behind it) hath wrought! During my first tour in RVN, I commanded a SF "A" team in "I" Corps. That was Marine country. Ran a lot of recons for you guys. Seriously good troops. Lots of inter-service training now. Heck, when it was time for me to go to the War College the Army sent me to the Marines War College. It was great. I even managed to finish coloring all the books! 😂 Semper Fi, Marine.

Im going into the Marines and im so excited:)

Great video ! I support all service branches with a special affinity for the Marines because my younger brother retired as a Master Gunnery Sgt. I retired from the Air Force in 1998 (E7) having spent time in Vietnam as Pararescueman (wounded) and then joining the AF Reserves as a C-5 Crew Chief. BTW - I had a few Marines transition into the AF and go thru the Pararescueman pipeline. They told me it was the hardest training they had ever done.

My cousin is a marine. I respect all branches, but my father is a Navy vet, and he's one of the hardest working men I've ever seen in my life, and I am damn proud to be his son...

Good Job. Good interviews and editing. Semper Fi MARINES.

Very nice! Great questions. Learned a lot. Thank you for your service and bless you all! ❤

For me it’s odd seeing E4 And up with a few medals. I was an E3, 0311, and had 6 medals and 3 ribbons including the purple hart, I was shot in the shoulder in Marjah Afghanistan. Today actually is the 12th year since I was shot. I was with 2bn 9th Marines when I was active duty 2007-2011.

My son has been in for a year now. As a family we are learning a lot about military life.

My birthday is on November 10th, just like the Marines. I feel honored to share my birthday with such an amazing group.

Im currently in the army as a mechanic. One of my favorite memories with the Marines was when their mechanics and our mechanics worked TOGETHER to get our trucks up and running at Fort Irwin. Both worked late nights and early mornings and learned a lot from one another.

My Son is a Marine. He is at Kings Bay Georgia He does a lot of hard work. What I do is pray for him, and may he keep his faith, and embrace his believes...(Fear not for God is with you!! 🙏) He is a wonderful young man. Me and his sisters and aunts and uncles and nieces and nephews and friends and pets, we LOVE HIM !!!💕🥰😍 , BECAUSE HE IS PROUD TO CLAIM THE TITLE OF THE UNITED STATES MARINE!!! 💖🙏✨🇺🇸 God bless all the different military branches that are serving all around that world. 🙏🌠

Great interviews

I respect yall lol. I joined the air force because i knew I couldn't do marines. love that camaraderie we all bring!

As a soldier in the us army, I have a lot of respect for marines, especially the engineers that share the castle, no matter which branch, you’re an engineer regardless.

great video idea i think you might have found a good style of series to do

I’m creeping up on 14 years in the Army, and I’ve always respected the Marines more than the other branches. I respect a Marines can do and will do attitude.

Love that everyone here is humble. I'm in a highschool NJROTC, and I'll be honest- everyone is extremely cocky and likes to just poke fun (and I mean- actually hurtfully) at each other if anyone chooses to go into any other branch then the Marines or Navy. It's just nice to see people that are actually humble and know they're out they're and respect other branches for just doing the job they were assigned.

I could swear I've seen you in the 41 Area chow hall before 😂 also a big Oorah to the Hilton in the Gaslamp for having such a great place to celebrate greatness 🙌

Outstanding video! I see the Marine breed still strong. Semper Fidelis 1980-1996

My dad was a Marine, and has always been a great inspiration to me, I plan on joining the Army and it's 75th ranger regiment because I know I can make it through their tough selection.

Retired Army. Good video.. nice to see youngsters serving.

Outstanding reflections. Thumbs up.

They wouldn’t let me in the Marine Corps 1. My parents were married 2. My head wouldn’t fit the jar

Happy birthday Marines , Your best friend or worst enemy !

Great stories! At the end of the day. one team, one fight! Regardless of branches.

Great answers

Many Coast Guard sailors went into the Brown Water Navy aka Riverine Forces during Vietnam. Manning small boats in the rivers and deltas. They inserted and extracted many Special Forces, rescued down pilots, often under heavy fire from the vegetation covered river banks.

Cool video. My only criticism was the pay rate. The Lieutenant handled it well, but just saying that the pay rates can be found and such and such link on the Marine Corps page would've been sufficient. Get some, Marines. Rah 🇺🇸

Great to see Reservists so passionate about the Corps (not that I had any doubts). I couldn't do the Reserves after leaving active duty. I couldn't give up my freedom again. Props to them!

Love it brother! Semper fi

The jokes between the services has been an old tradition. I used to work for a contracting company that supported the military. Everyone was prior service from one branch or the other. The jokes were never ending. Sunrise to sunset. All in good fun. We actually had an Air Farce guy the was too sensitive. He said that we were too mean and he quit. Go NAVY, ARMY, MARINES… OK, COAST GUARD And AIR FORCE too.

Nice job brother..I'm former marine and I miss it

Woman Marine here, 1965-1968. Loved my Marine experience! Went on to do 7 years in AF Reserve. I respect all who serve regardless of the branch. My Mom , her sister, my Dad, numerous uncles served in Army Air Corps, one Uncle Navy, WWII. Grandfathers, Army, WWI. Family goes back to Revolutionary. DAR member. A great example from family! Thanks to all who serve! Special place in my heart for Marines.🇺🇸❤️

Bravo!! This was awesome :)

The dude who said halo made him want to join the USMC, I feel the exact same way and decided I wanted to join when I finished reach. I plan on joining the Marine corp when I turn 18.

Hated it but don’t regret, I’m sure there’s a lot that agree. I used to complain about the pay but I realized once I was out that you don’t do it for the pay.

Dude it’s kind of crazy how I subscribed to you years and years and years ago and now you’re a marine!!!!! 😮😅

Semper Fi Marines! Looking Good!

Rest in Peace Signalman First Class Douglas Munro posthumous Medal of Honor Recipient earned while serving in the Coast Guard for rescuing a bunch of Marines pinned down on a beach in the battle of Guadalcanal. Semper Paratus.

Air Force is the best, as an Air Force veteran I hold a great amount of respect for that Marine’s honesty… lol… At the end of the day, I respect all the branches of the service

Great video man

I am from the army usually we have respect for marines we joke around a bit about the crayons and being complete meatheads or being literally insane. Personally I think the last part got some truth to it but if there is one branch that can get the job done it is for sure the marines and the uniforms that makes you all look like complete badasses.

As a former Salvation Army Special Forces Bellringer, I think we have the toughest job! Especially around Christmas! 🎅

My heroes everywhere!

This video will help people understand, not only do reservists have lives outside the marines, but theres more than just infantry. Thank you for your video man.

Good to see the ball is back, what venue was it at?

Can't believe you didn't know what the Coast Guard is! Aside from the MARINES, COASTIES got the biggest balls of all. They go out in weather that the others won't even try! You get into trouble out at sea those are the boys that WILL get your butt home.

I served in the 82nd Airborne.....no additional words needed

Dang bro loving your content 5k subs already wow

I was in the Army as a 11B infantry. I was also deployed to Iraq from 2003-2004 the last 6 months my unit was attached to the 1st marine division. Most of them were great guys. You couldn’t pay me enough to say anything bad about the marine corp. oh have to say one thing to any marine deployed to TQ air base in Iraq. On behalf of all of us 10th mountain division guys we apologize for raiding your PX

The most drip I’ve see in a few years

What other branches. I thought it was just us and the rest were their to clean the dead combatants out of the street. LoL 😂 just having fun guys. Love y’all. Semper fi gentlemen outstanding job

Maybe next video of MCMAP and roll around on the Mat in your unit. Get with your company MAI, roll around in the next class

Theres just something better in the Marines than any other branch. We are just smaller in numbers, so history and tradition they teach is learned by all Marines. We just know how to get shit done with the least possible, this is just drilled in our minds from day 1

As a veteran (California Army National Guard and the Army Reserves) l completely agree with the Marines you spoke with we all are Mothers, Fathers, Sisters and Brothers in the U.S. Military. By the way I truly loved working with the Marines as a 91 Romeo Food Inspector.

Dude I remember those days. I miss getting hammered with the crew

I was an infantry marine 0351, vietnam era. And I went into the Air National Guard after the corp. The difference is the intensity the Marines have from a combat point of view. The other branches are professionals. The Air hospital unit I was in was top notch. All job professionals.

I’m in the process of joining the USMC active duty & I’m nervous yet excited.

Marine is a combination of air(force), land(army) and sea (navy) AND the president does NOT need congress approval to send the Marines anywhere in the world. This is why we earned the nickname First to fight.

Man, I'm in the process of joining the air/space force, and I respect the hell out of every branch, but especially the marines. And that uniform really is so ice 😂

Air Force bro here. Absolutely better for choosing the more difficult path. Sharp. Props.

It's kinda like that line from a Charlie Daniels song, "We might fight amongst ourselves, but you outside people best leave us alone..Cause we'll all stick together and you can take that to the bank!"

As a former Navy Seabee. I had the opportunity to work with all branches Marines Army and Air Force. Did 6 years active. 40 percent disabled. Doing the same thing sorta that i did when i was in except without the M4. Ready mix driver. My advice to people is join whatever branch. You want. I would say the Navy and Air Force have better technical training and schooling. The Marine corps and Army would be more challenging physically. Explore all the available jobs in depth and find one that you would love. Once your locked in its not very easy to cross rate or change jobs . I would say having worked closely with marines and multiple members of my family having served from WW1 WW2 korea and Afghanistan they are hard chargers and highly trained. Much respect to all that volunteer to serve

ngl, love u my boy, keep making dope content like this! no pressure tho lol

Former USAF here. I have had the privilege to work alongside former Marines. Smart, hard-working, sense of humor when things get hard.

Yes that Marine was correct, the Air Force is the best for quality of life as I am an Air Force Veteran.....but I deeply respect all the services.....especially the Marines.

My craziest story was when I was in boot camp(07) on our final PT run I had to take a mad shit. I jumped in the bushes blasted my asshole out, pulled up my PT shorts and jumped back onto the track. The CO came up behind me and said "You need to run faster if I caught up to you" Somehow he didn't see me jump from the bushes but I just wanted to finish and get to that PT shower and wash my ass.

Thank you for sharing! Was trying hard to listen but the quick audio cuts are driving me nuts bro. I know it’s how a lot of RU-vidrs edit but keep that to a minimum so the whole thing doesn’t feel spliced up a bunch. It just goes over better when there is a natural flow to convos. I’m literally watching the waiters in the background pop in and out of frame and jump because the audio and vid was clipped.

s/o cpl morales for being a toro! graduated 2021 in med tech currently in the us army 🤘🏻

i picked the marines for those dress blues 😂

Good shit but if you were to run this this same line of questions at an infantry ball, you'd get a entirely different set of answers, ENTIRELY DIFFERENT 😂 Semper Fi killers!

We love you

Really enjoyed the video, I need to share this with my battle buddy who is a Marine. Liked and Subbed, I love drunk Marines!!

I’m currently doing paperwork to go in the Navy in a few months from now. I took a shot at it back in 2020 in the middle of the pandemic, and it broke me so I quit and I was separated (discharged). Not really sure what I’m going to do, probably something mechanical or aircraft related, but right now I’ve been thinking about it long enough and have decided to just execute it and do it. And despite what I’ve heard with the military crumbling right now and everything going to shit, I still think it’ll be if it me more than wandering aimlessly through life on the civilian side, at least right now. For those who are in or recently got out: what are your takes on being enlisted in the Navy rn? What to expect and what to keep in mind once I’m in the fleet?
