New Zealand Girl Reacts to the US Marines 54 HOUR CRUCIBLE | US MARINES BOOT CAMP 😭 

All through Basic, in the morning assembly, the Senior DI always referred to us in some deprecating way, with Ladies being one of the milder expressions. On the last day he said "Good Morning Marines'. We cheered like we had just won the World Series and the World Cup at the same time.

Joining the military even when they don’t have to.. NOW THATS THE AMERICAN SPIRIT!!

My Uncle Winfred was a Marine in World War II. There was a rich kid in Boot Camp who got tired of carrying his rifle and threw it away. (Probably not the Crucible.) The sergeant said nothing till they got back to the barracks. He called the guy front and center. "Where's your rifle?" "I threw it away. I'll buy another one" "I don't want another one! I want the one that was issued to you! You and me are just going to have to go back and find it! The rest of you guys, fall out!"

I was a Navy Corpsman, Not a Marine but I spent 6 years at Parris Island and the surrounding commands. Worked at the old Branch Medical Clinic

Looking back this shit was so easy compared to being out in the field for months at a time

Your reaction is so real and honest wonderful to see you crying for these young Men and Women

The fact that you're more patriotic than a lot of people in America says a lot. You're a good person and major respect for you

Thanks for your honest reaction. I learned a lot by watching this. About 40% of Marines have refused to get the jab. Oorah!

I cried when my SDI handed me the EGA after we got to the parade deck, we all cried, it was an amazing feeling...

Watching this after 10 years since I went through it just brings me back. The crucible is tough and a lot worse than whats on camera. After boot camp they do 1 to 2 months at the School of Infantry and honestly it's a lot more physical than boot camp.

Over in Camp Pendleton where the West coast crucible is, there was a story about a Marine who was killed in battle and one of the Drill Instructors knew him. It was the first time I saw one show any emotion. Dude broke down and I think he was even close friends with him.

I went through my crucible in November of 2014. Our DI made us hang from the rafters in our hut for what felt like forever before our senior DI came through and told us to get down. Good times and even better memories.

Notice the rank is Rct - Recruit. This is not an official Marine rank because you are not considered a Marine until you successfully get through Basic Training. Then you are a Marine Pvt - Private

If you haven't already, you should react to the Navy SEALs Hell Week.

My son-in-law was so committed to finishing and becoming a marine, he finished the crucible on two broken feet. After breakfast, it was straight to the military hospital (Camp Pendleton).

After the Crucible and Graduation, it’s off to the School of Infantry at Camp Pendleton

There is nothing better than hiking up Mount Mother F'er at Camp Pendleton at the end of the crucible. You stand at the top of Edson Ridge, looking out over the Pacific ocean and looking back at what you just accomplished. It is at that point you realize you are the Biggest Badest thing on God's Green earth and that there isn't anything in this life that you cannot complete. No matter what happens in this life I will always be a Marine. SEMPER FI!!

WE NEVER leave a man behind even if it cost us more lives. I was a Naval Corpsman back in the early 80s. I had to do Navy and Marine boot camp. We did things we never thought we could do. It was our job.

There is no greater Honor then Joining the US Military

T-54 days until my husband goes through this, God willing! 🤞🏻🇺🇸 he made it through 2 weeks of quarantine and 3 weeks on the island so far! The letters seem positive so far. So crazy being the one holding it down at home. You feel like you are going through it since they are so far away and you are used to them being home, but you are nowhere close to the agony they are all going through. All you can do is stay positive & pray! :) hopefully I’ll get to see him after MCT since they aren’t allowing us to go to graduation 😊 so proud of him and so thankful for every sacrifice our military men, women & families make. To say I have a new-found appreciation is an understatement! 🥰🇺🇸

They obviously lightened this up for the camera. My experience in 89’ was closer to the boot camp scene in Full Medal Jacket.

Wow the crucible has changed from when i did it....

Our drill instructors told us boot camp was the easy part, it's going to get a lot worse when we get to our rifle company. And they were right!

Attempt 8: Please watch video on b 21 raider. It's the replacement for the b 2 and basically all other strategic bombers

I just love how Courtney shows affection towards other countries and really means what she says.

One time in life where being a southpaw comes in handy.

You're spot on. We are taught about who went before us, and the standard we have to live up to. There was a Major that started every class with reading the citation for a medal of honor recipient. Some were absolutly unreal, like a Marine getting big part of his jaw shot off and continued on to clear 2 more enemy positions. We were also taught to jump on a grenade to same everyone around us.

You should react to marines in combat

After the warriors breakfast most everyone throws it up because you eat so much😂 I had three plates😎 been in for two years now

A lot has changed, it wasn’t called the crucible in 84 & each recruit had a shelter half, (half a tent) that was made into a tent when you paired up with another recruit. The complete tent barely fit two people lying prone. We had to sleep with our M16’s & the DI’s would attempt to steal the M16’s at night. I slept on top of my M16 so when the DI’s tried to pull it out of the tent, the attempt moved my body as well & I woke up. We also had to dig fox holes with our E tools & prepare for an over night attack with tracer rounds going off & flares. We took turns watching the tree line so as not to get over run by the enemy. It was different than this, it felt like war. I think it lasted a week cause we had a long march out with about 80lbs on our back. These Recruits had less because they stayed in already built structures. Training with females was not done, we couldn’t even look at them if we crossed paths. Glad to know they don’t share barracks. I served in the Army as well & male & female recruits were caught having sex in crazy places. A male Drill Sgt also attempted to rape a recruit who later became my wife. Marines still get more right than wrong. That’s a good thing.

Hell we did 35 miles in 1977! OOO-RAH!

Don’t cry when people cry it makes me cry 😢

that saying is a US Naval SOCOM saying we all learned LONG ago... “The more we sweat in times of peace, the less we bleed in times of war”... it was a common taught training motivator for all naval socom operations.. Naval Intelligence, Navy SEALs, Navy SARCs, Marine force RECON, Marine Raiders “MARSOC”... all naval specops... which it has always amazed me the number of people that do not know the marines are part of the navy... i have even met marines that did not know they were really in the navy.. when i was naval intelligence i had an argument with a marine at camp pendleton in san diego about it and i told him “next payday look who pays u then talk to me”.. next payday he told me “fuck you”... lol cause it said “department of the navy” for who paid him... i just laughed at him haha

Getting the title as a marine is something that is given to you if your good enough for the title. No just anyone can earn it. There is no more pride in anti other branch than marines.

The crucible was no joke. I did boot camp at Paris Island. The meal after everything my stomach messed up

Being handed that EGA by my senior drill instructor was a different feeling all that hurt and suffering was all worth it in that one moment

They started boot camp as boys and girls. They have all become young Men and Women. God bless each and everyone of you. Thank you for your service and the sacrifices that you give for all of us!

Wait until that recruit who wants to be a pediatrician finds out that Marine doctors.....are all in the Navy!!

Still remember the first time I said good morning Sgt after the cruciable and he didn’t cuss me out😂

when you think about it....having the persons having to eat with their Left Hand even though the persons might be Right Handed...it gets them to "Adapt" in using their nondominant hand to eat or for other action that way if they get injured in their right arm/hand they are use to using their left hand

They seem WAAAAY nicer now a days! Nobody even got hit by the drill instructor. And for the Crucible... It was definitely longer than 54 hours and only 8 hours of sleep total for all 3 days. Also we only got 3 MREs.. not 5. And just to make it more fun.. our packs were 80+ lbs... I hate to sound like that guy.. but I think think is a very watered down version of what is expected and I wish they would tell the truth even though cameras are present.

I was a U.S. Marine I was a SMAW Gunner which stands for shoulder fired multipurpose assault weapon. We fired HEAA rounds which are high explosive anti armor rounds and they can penetrate up to 24 inches of homogeneous steel. In my picture you can see a rocket on my back and I have another one on the other side . I was in Macedonia waiting to go into Kosovo to get rid of that fahq Slobodan Milosevic . I was in before the Crucible but training was almost just as tough. If you ever want to talk about militaries and stuff like that I'm huge into it. I love history of wars and I'm very scared of what might happen in the near future with the threat of China North Korea and Russia not to mention Iran lurking. These countries are all corrupt and evil as fahq! I absolutely love your videos keep up the great work and it's crazy The United states military just nuts!

Weird perspective after the fact to hear "5 MRE's in 2.5 days" and "3-4 hours of sleep" and think that sounds easy... But I remember it being harder than hell. I couldn't imagine going through some of the things that makes the Crucible seem easy now, without having gone through the Crucible itself first.

Love the video

You need to react to wells crowther “man in the red bandana” and his bravery during the 9/11 attacks. It’s heartbreaking but such a great tribute to hear how many people he saved.

My son is doing it Thursday!

Hey Courtney!! :) another good reaction vid of the US Marines 54 Hour Crucible US Marines Boot Camp!! these Marines are very strong & honorable to be training to be prepared to go to war I like how there mentally focused & prepareing themselves when it's time to go to battle & this is good self defense techniques this reminds me of that spartans movie when they have to be really prepared to battle against there enemies that hand to hand combat is very dangerous & deadly & when it comes to real fights like that u would have to move quickly & elusively to dodge those attacks & when those marines use there guns & machinary they would have to duct & cover to find a place to avoid heavy shots to them :) I highly respect these marine soldiers that go to War :) anyways this was a good reaction vid I enjoyed it :) sending u my love

My son's a marine as well as 2 of my nephews

This is done after 13 weeks of HELL on Parris Island, then being sent to camp Pendleton, and 29 palms I was an 0317 MOS GySgt.USMC 1990-2017 SEMPER FI CARRY ON DEVIL DOGS OOH-RAH

My son is a Marine. My husband and I are Army. All branches have a Final Field Test. It's all called something different. Other than me being in a place that was beach a million years ago....and super tired.... It wasn't too bad.

As a marine who served in the infantry.... integration between infantry jobs is very dangerous and damaging to both parties and not good for combat effectiveness. Do i think some female marines can do the job on equal standards... absolutely, ive seen it myself. Unfortunately women arent held to the same physical standers and that alone risks lives in combat... im a short guy myself and have had to drag and carry guys twice my size and weight during casualty drills, you dont get to choose who goes down in combat and if you cant physically get someone off the X by dragging or carrying them you have no business in combat. Even for the women who can do things on the same standards still are far more likely to receive injuries due to the amount of weight infantryman have to always carry. A full combat loadout is much more weight than most think... let alone hiking miles with 90 lbs packs. Ive seen the shit myself, female marines with stress fractures just from hiking with all the weight... women biologically have less bone density and wider hips designed for reproduction while men have a higher bone density and hip structures that are designed more to carry weight. Not only that, there is also a very big hygiene issue... no fault of their own but women are much more likely to contract things like UTIs which can cause a lot of problems. Sometimes you have to stay in wet and dirty conditions for weeks at a time and only have baby wipes to clean yourself. Then you have the sadder part of it with higher risk of sexual assault or promiscuity within a unit. You see it all the time with non-infantry jobs where male and female marines are in the same unit.... and the other fact that marines drink a lot doesnt make the situation any better. Its the facts of the situation and just doing it because it sounds "inclusive" doesnt do shit but put more lives in danger.... including the lives of female marines too. This PC and inclusiveness bullshit has got to get the fuck out of the military.... it has no place there because the military is based on the real world and facts and reality... not peoples personal "truths". The Taliban or whoever the enemy is doesnt give a fuck if we have integrated and inclusive units, they are still going to try to kill you just the same. We need to focus on fighting and winning battles instead of which fucking bathroom marines can use. I dont give a fuck who you are, what you look like, or what your religion is.... you need to be able to do the job effectively and efficiently and be able to have the back of the marine to the left and right of you because end of the day that person is the only one who will be able to protect your life and you are the only one who can protect theirs. If any of this shit was truly about equality and saying women can do anything the men can in the same exact way... then there wouldn't be separate physical standards for women to join the military... just think about that. Im not saying some cant do the job, im just saying it isnt safe and increases a lot of risks.

Excellent!!!

I'm glad I'm left-handed but she made me emotional like you were tearing up I was like don't do me like that lol for your compassion is on a different level I must say

And that was just boot camp... that wasn’t even their own specialist schools. (Like infantry, combat engineer, pilot)

I went through boot camp at Parris Island in 1996 and my company was the last one ‘not’ to do the Crucible. The next company to graduate behind me is when they started to implement parts of it into.

should reacting to stars spangled panner you’ve never heard it. I must say it will make you really understand after watching it.

There wasn't any such rules in the boxing when I went through, I got a pretty bad cuncossion in there. I did nock some dudes helmet off with the pugil sticks, that was fun.

Ive done that stuff army 4yrs

YOU'RE AMAZING MOMMY!!

I've done it and its NO JOKE!

They got 5? We got 3 field stripped MREs lol. We started at night not that early in the morning. The 1st day our drill instructors didnt let us eat. We drank water all day lol..

If you haven't yet, you should take a look at "ears open, eyeballs click". It gives a more authentic Marine Corps experience.

Try reacting too marine boot camp San Diego California arrival

Nothing will ever prepare you for down range deployments. When you are in 120-130 degree F full battle TA50. The actions of some of these Devil Pups is appalling. I see no intensity no desire or hustle. My DI would have smoked the soul out of all of us for how some of these pups acted.

Marine Basic training is just that....Basic. Combat Marines train everyday until the day they leave active duty.

❤❤ !! My Family and Friends are ALL pretty much Marines or Navy Sailors !! It runs super deep in my family !!

You should do a react to OC spray training. Spicy stuff.

Took the Marines long enough to integrate men and women recruits. I was a part of the Army’s first integrated basic training back in 1980 at Ft Jackson, South Carolina. Hoo-rah, Marines!!

The funny part is go ask an older Marine about their basic experience. They'll tell you this is easier than it used to be. Granted, this is on camera....

5!!! WTF we got 3 when I went through.

🥺

Courtney get out there and do it. Join the Marines

Your hair looks great today!

I passed the crucible

Know that they are volunteering

GET TO WORK!!! LOL

You should watch "Canadians change when they hear the word war"

This shit is so easy over being in the field , enjoy it things get way worse fast

All respect to the women marines honorably serving our country, but the fact is the crucible was much more difficult when it was men only. They noticeably lowered the physical standards.

React to making a sailor

Train them rough make them tough

Wanna sing frozen, Madagascar

Since when do recuirts help each other with making their bunk, and their Rucks are lighter, need to train like we did going into Nam!

the pudding

The recruits are being sent to a hotel to quarantine for 2 weeks before being sent to boot camp, I know because I'm here with them as a troop handler currently monitoring the quarantine as a part of task force commitment

Courtney I have requested NHRA drag racing vids on ur general request under admiral-horton please it been almost a year since u did a drag racing vid please do one

Hey Courtney .... since you enjoy military things, your man is a Marine and you've started reviewing some movies ...... You might want to watch the 1957 movie "Heaven Knows Mr. Allison" staring Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr. It is my alltime favorite "war movie"and is available(rent or buy) on you tube ...... keep up the good work ...... just sayin' JRW E-5 USMC '63-'67 ................

Это она не видела как нас принимали в морпехи... без криков инструкторов

React to us army in combat

When one of my Drill instructors called me a Marine, it was one of the best feelings in the world.

***ALERT***. Great video is National Geographic heavy falcon rocket launch, it’s when they launched the car into space, its short but very inspirational

Also this co-ed training is nonsensical, and limits if if not hinders , the lethal effectiveness and combat readiness of the most used and deployed branch of the United States Military!

Haha this is just the shit they show the cameras it’s a lot worse

Nice vid 🙂👍 if You were around in2000 the computer post of (John Titor) was on line with a very new internet and 14.4 phone modem Time traveler 0 was posting was he a real time traveler? Funny his story and time machine that he used and described is the time travel theories of today check out those videos and posts and try an opinion on it 🙂 it's not a military video but it is strange and it involves military check it out

Can u react the song I miss You daddy next

You should watch ears open eyeballs click...it takes you through all 12 weeks of boot camp.

Thanks!

We are going to lose to Russia if these are Marines....

Please react on INDIAN ARMY ❤️❤️❤️
