Planning on joining the Marine Corps in 2022? (Watch this) 

i have never felt such conflicting feelings about the military. i fucking HATED the marine corps but LOVED being a marine. only the people that go through it will get it.

Enlisted a few weeks ago at 27 for the Reserves as an 0341. I definitely should have gone in sooner but it isn't too late until it's literally too late. Take that swing and go for what you want in life no matter what. The pride I feel and excitement for the challenges ahead is second to none compared to anything previous in my life. The difficulty for a short period of time is nothing compared to the difficulty of living with regret forever

I'm a father of a marine, my son is 20 year old and already promoted to Lance Corporal. The day he turned 18, he was already singing to be a marine. This is a really good video, respect for you all marines out there God bless you 🙏 and keep all of you safe..

To my future Marines, get out there and get that title. If you've already signed up you knew this path would never be easy, but easy isn't what makes us Marines. Semper Fidelis and best of luck.

My son left for bootcamp in San Diego yesterday. One of the hardest days of my life. After already 4 years on our local Fire Department he wanted more. Even though I am absolutely terrified I am proud as hell of the amazing young man he is becoming. ❤️🇺🇲

I’m 17. I enlisted in 2021. I enlisted in my junior year and am currently in The Delayed Entree program. I ship out in July 2022. I am listening to many videos like you’re videos of the marines and getting prepared and being aware of any important information and avoiding the common mistakes made. I am perfectly aware of the problems you outlined, but I didn’t join because I thought it would be easy and sunshine. I also subscribed Edit: I graduated October 7 2022. Lethal Lima!

FMF Doc here, current Navy Recruiter. My go-to phrase is "The military brings a lot of suffering for service members, but it also brings family and the best memories you'll ever have". I hated going to the field every week but I will never, ever forget the family I made.

Currently in college and I am seriously considering joining the marines as an officer once I graduate. Thank you for this video.

Currently in my Sophomore year of college and regretted not signing up. I'm killing it in school, but I didn't feel like I was doing anything with significant purpose. So over break I walked into my recruiters office and said, "I want to enlist." I blew the PiCAT out of the water (like 96) and mentioned that I was in college. The whole office was wondering why on Earth I wanted to enlist before becoming an officer (officer is my goal through PLC). I told em, "You can't be a good leader if you haven't done the job you're telling someone else to do"

18 years old, just signed up for the Marine Corps last weekend and i'm heading out to MEPS tomorrow morning, I know I got this!

Im 21 and I plan on joining soon I've been speaking to my recruiter and of course a very convincing man. I know it's gonna be hard I may not be the most physical fit but if I have to go through the PT training course I'll do it. I have been going through life with no drive and motivation. I'm willing to go the hard journey even though not many believe in me but those few who do I'm holding on to.

My son just started his MOS classes & he is very thankful he already learned algebra before going.

I enlisted and took the PiCAT yesterday. I’m taking the verification in a few days then I’m going to MEPS. Your channel has helped so much and gave a lot of motivation. I have a wife and 2 kids and I’m joining to benefit their future as it’s something I haven’t been able to do in the civilian world. Keep up the work you don’t know how much you help some people bro 🤙🏼💯

Sworn in 2 weeks ago I leave April 4th can't wait to go to boot camp!

Kinda cool seeing everyone saying they’re joining, cuz I was them almost a year ago. I remember watching your old videos before joining

I'm a reservist, who just went AR and it was a great decision. Wish I would have gone active sooner. It's a good time to join for sure

Made it to Japan early December and besides all the COVID restrictions I love it out here

I joined last year and watching you video really help so Thank you 🙏🏾

I joined the Marine Corps right out of high school and stood on them yellow footprints and went what the hell did I do, nah it was the greatest thing I ever did I'd go back in a heartbeat, by the way I'm a Hollywood Marine 84/92 once a Marine always a Marine SEMPER Fi brothers and sisters

left for bootcamp 2021 07 19, i am now in MOS school as a pfc. just gonna say, with not much of a path laid out for me as what to do next after highschool. Joining the marine corps is definitely a good move to help transition into the adult world from a teenager. Don't know how to explain it, just gotta experience it

I should be shipping out in March to MCRD

Beside all the tangible benefits (education/financial benefits etc) that are shared across all branches of the military. Gotta say the biggest benefits are discipline and leadership you’ll gained from. I have plenty of buddies in the air force and army and you can clearly tell the lack there of from these intangible benefits comparing to Marines. These two benefits are worth more to a company and future endeavors than any other benefits.

Oorahh Marine. Just saw your video in contrast to another Marine who “finally got out.” Very different perspective and still both content are respectful to our brotherhood. I liked your content which can inspire a lot of young people to make that jump to be one of the few and proud. I was on active duty in 1983 to 1987 during the “Cold War”. I was ready to defend and fight for my country but I was blessed to be in a relatively peaceful time in the world. The Corps is different today and I probably cannot appreciate the changes. One thing for sure, I hope Marines will be equipped with most advanced tools for the job and lose the reputation of being handed down leftovers from the other branches. More funding for the best technology in the field and more funding for advanced education. Semper Fi

joined in 93...retired in 19' I'm torn brother...Semper Fi

Hey @AONiXO I’m going to boot camp in august the 8th right after high school going in for MOTOR T and I can’t wait for it I’m proud of signing up and can’t wait for the life

Shipping out May 25th for Parris Island. This video helped inform me more about the Corps. Amazing video man 💯❤️

Hopefully I get into the military, I wish I could've joined right after high school, but I let people talk me out of joining. All I need to do is pass the asvab.

Saw your video from a year back, just a few months ago. Ended up enlisting, now I’m here at MOS school, and find this. 👍🇺🇸

Watching from my barracks room in Pensacola. Nice vid.

Ayeee!! I go to meps Tuesday and will be shipping out within the next 6 months. I was going to do reserves but had a change in thought! I am so excited!! I know it’s not going to be easy but you gotta want it and I want it sooo bad!! I’ve been pushing myself everyday with the gym and pt.

I went to MEPS and enlisted December 14th, 2021. Ship out august 22nd. Turn 18 next month so I’ll be super young

I swore in on Monday. I can’t wait to go to bootcamp and face the challenge to earn the title…

I’m currently 17 and I’m thinking of the Marine Corps. It just feels right but my parents are super against it for the wrong reasons. I’m really excited to be able to push myself and make myself my best version. Thank you for making this video to inform more! My cousin told me a lot of his experience with the Marines.

Thank you for the videos I’m starting bootcamp in 19 days and signed my mos cx contract yesterday

This reminded me of the speech the staff Sargent at my recruiter office gave me when I enlisted.

Swore in May 28, 2021 so it’s almost been a year in the DEP, and I ship to Parris Island June 20th. I’m ready to get tf outta school to ship. Going in for Electronics Maintenance

I’m trying to join the Marines when I graduate highschool , I’m 14 right now and have been watching a lot of videos Tysm!

Definitely worth it if you have any of those objectives

Just got out of the Navy after 6 years and spent 3 years with the grunts in 29 palms. Being their corspman brought a lot of joy and annoyance to my life. We all embrace the suck together and we find joy in the small things whether it was chilling under the shade and finding a good rock to use as a pillow or just being weird with each other. I hated the military, but I loved the people. The people you meet is what keeps you sane because they are going through the same BS as you. I'm not saying don't join I'm just saying lower your expectations because it will be a wakeup call once you hit the fleet.

I'm a pfc in the marine corps currently to add on to what he was saying most of the nco's if not all I have met in my time in the corps have college degrees if not multiple and they encourage going put and getting an education a lot and they promote a lot of the resources that are available to you

Main thing I've learned about jobs is that to me, it's more about the people you work with that depicts if you actually enjoy the job then the job itself.

I currently just started training for Motor t in my schoolhouse in Missouri, just hit my 6 month mark and got ranked up to pfc, and in just little time, before even hitting the fleet, I’ve already met my brothers for life, I can’t wait to get to my first duty station after I finish Movac training. The discipline you learn afterwards makes such a big difference in your life, boot camp does suck but it does get better after boot, mct etc.

Dang crazy I just graduated from bootcamp last Friday. Only the beginning on my journey gonna be hard but will be worth it

the marine corps will definitely get you some basic life skills, some good friends you wouldn’t have met anywhere else, some certifications (if you use the resources) , experience, & free college/trade school that would save you money. four years & done is all you need if you wanna save some money. don’t regret joining but surely ready to get out this year.

For myself at almost 24 I feel like it’s always an after thought but also something let down for myself due to being medically discharged from DEP back in 2016. I feel like I failed my life goal I had set for myself

I signed up for the Marines when I was 17, went in when I was 18. I can honestly say it was the BEST job I ever had! Once a Marine is always a Marine! You just change uniforms and M. O. S. when you get a Honorable discharge.

Just finished basic at 26. Had been in before but got hurt and sent home a few years back but knew it was my calling and hence why I went back. It has changed over the years but I feel that it still holds itself better than other branches. Marines get things done.

I was in the Corps from 2002-2005, I was still a lil bit young and immature, I thought I had all the answers to EVERYTHING in life and I was absolutely WRONG, many years later (17 years to be exact) I wish I would’ve taken it a lil bit more serious at the time and stood in for a while longer and really took advantage of the opportunity of a lifetime … I got a honorable and all but yeah, it could’ve been alot more worthwhile… regardless im still helluva proud of myself for being a United States Marine no matter what!! Semper Fidelis! 🇺🇸

Always wanted to join tried when i was 18 god denied because of my tattoos im 21 now and they now officially allowed sleeves god bless the corps didnt know they turnt so soft to worried about ink in skin than MAKING A MARINE

Congratulations you came a long way

Going to boot camp somewhere in single digit days of March. Been waiting for this day ever since I enlisted and took my oath. Only thing I regret is having only a week or two to spend with Forbidden West or Elden Ring

Love the vid man. I’m going to bootcamp in june !

If there's any devil pups out there reading this, factor in a career field you think you would personally enjoy. Infantry is dope, its the Corps, but you're still a Marine while learning a technical skill that will benefit you later on in your life. If anyone has any questions feel free to hmu, ill try to respond.

Good video great advice. I was watching another video on here and this shit bird Marine was pulling up to the barracks saying it was like a prison went in his room that was a disaster area just a bad example of what a Marine is. If you’re watching this video don’t listen to his like that listen to this Marine right here he’s telling you exactly how it is. Semper Fi my brother!

Just got out of MCT, thanks for your words! I appreciate you so much for your words and advice. Thank you so much yet again!

90,000.... Let's get it!!!

blessed to currently be getting out via NJP. I really recommend listening to others opinions. The infantry sucks in mine. Save your mentality for something else.

Whatever you do, if you enlist make sure you put in for Embassy Duty. By far the best deal in the Marine Corps. Believe me.

My shipping date is September 5th 💪🏽💪🏽

I ship out in June, love your vids man keep it up!

Promoted to Lance Corporal in 2015? That was the end of my first 5 year enlistment and I am STILL a Sergeant to this day.... something ain't right here, am I a turd?

Very informative! Great video as always!

Depends on the mission and direction. When I enlisted I knew where I was headed. No chance in hell I would again. But, that's why experience is the best teacher. It's the most costly.

03’s are like POGS now….

Semper Fidelis brother Hoo-Raah!!! 🦏🤙💪🏾🇺🇸 ⚓🦅🌎

I watched all your videos before i was in. Great videos

Yeah brother out here on Camp foster. For the two years I been in. The marine corps has already changed a lot. Especially with JPES and with the talent management. Sheeshh

I ship out feb 14th 🤙

Finishing my second semester of a two-year college the mistakes that I made were not being accountable and responsible and just dating left and right. High school it was different I was on the football team and we were expected to have discipline and respect including for ourselves and especially the school house. I want to join the Marine Corps because I want that discipline again I want that foot in the door in life that is pushing me. I love to work out even after I left football I got a gym membership and I started working out five days a week, got my Max’s up and surpassed my goals but now I want there to be something else pushing me because I feel stagnated. I’m a busboy at a little Italian restaurant and I don’t want to live this life I wanna leave it behind and go elsewhere. My brother and father my brother he’s a staff sergeant and he’s been in for nine years my father is retired lieutenant commander and recruiter of the Coast Guard and he works for the navy as a civilian. They both supported just like my mother and friends. I want purpose I want to drop my phone drop my games and grow up I’m 20 years old I need a path not a dream. Currently talking to one recruiter and I’m filling out paperwork tomorrow I’m not second-guessing anything I have a DD and I used to take prescription medicine that is the only thing that is against me in this recruiting process but I am willing to push myself to better myself and to leave my hometown. Live life and respect that’s what I want.

I enlisted at 22 after a few years of college. Did 10 years. It was oerfect timing for me. I have zero regrets, except for not finishing my 20. Now I’m old and retired and having served has paid many benefits in my golden years. The Corps is one of the highlights of my life. Do it. And unless you have a good plan, retire as a Marine. That’s just my advice. But do something. My brother didn’t and he paid a heavy price.

While I wouldn't say joining was the best decision I've ever made, I was enlisted 2011-2015 and went to OCS in 2021 but was injured and am medically barred from ever going back, it's one I'm proud of. There are drawbacks. I've ran into bizzare interviews specifically cuz of being a Marine veteran.

You won me at "tiny island "

Enlistment tomorrow… gob bless the USMC🇺🇸

I went in Dec 2001'. These kids talking about covid lol. I went directly after 9/11. Man-up son...man the F up. Or not lol...Starbucks is always looking for Baristas. And for the love of God, don't join the Marine Corps because of college. Join the Coast Guard or Air Force. You join the Corps for legacy, a commardarie that will last FOREVER. Mind-Body-Spirit. Every other service, people talk about the Unit they were in....Airborne, SF etc etc. The Marines...it doesn't matter the MOS. We are Marines first...Marines through and through. SEMPER FI.

Hey brother.. good video.. I was an 0311.. Went to first Gulf War, Somalia and was recalled for active duty and went to Iraq twice... Nice to see the Corps has that "side" account.. Would have been nice to put away money that I was unable to spend.. Hopefully, all the young Marines are taking advantage of it.. Keep up the good work..

Turned 18 in november, I’m going to the recruiting office tomorrow

I joined jun 1963 plt 229 parris island greatest decision I ever made 18 years old and needed guidance 36 years retired Firefighter SEMPER FI my brothers

My recruiter is waiting for my answer to send me to meps. One thing thats holding me back is hearing about toxic leadership

Oooh I just got out back in august….and I felt this video lol I got what I needed out of it

Semper Fi Brother

I swore in around November, im 17 and in the delayed entry program. I ship to bootcamp in August and im going infantry

I go to boot camp on Sunday !

What a great video man, you are a great role model. That japan life be hitting diff

Lets goooo!!

Great video as alway bro.

Retired back in 2009 after 31 years ( Master Gunnery Sergeant ).... I AM the OLD CORPS.... The Corps went to shit 20 years ago....

You knocked that 90K out the park !

Hiya, your video gave me so much confidence in my decision to become a marine. Still deciding on active duty and whatnot but this video gave me more of a booster if ya know what I mean. Thank you cause I really needed to hear more detail about this kind of topic.

God bless stay safe I hope everyone has a blessed week God loves y’all all 🙏✝️ thank you for everyone’s service 🙏✝️

Going as 03xx then going to 0321 and hopefully 0372 when i pick up some rank

i talked to ever recurrent for every branch i have to say the marine recruiter was straight forward he was listing to everything and told me how i need to work on myself. definitely going marine corp hopfully i can turn 18 after bootcamp

I just finally had the talk with my parents, told them I wanted to enlist. They were nervous, to say the least, but they said they would support me all the way. I’m sleeping soundly tonight

2015 wasn't too different of an era compared to now, major USMC operations in Iraq and Afghanistan pretty much went away almost completely by 2014. Positive video though, the Corps needs more of that.

I’m talking to a recruiter today you help me thank you

Im going to boot camp on Valentine's day 😂

The benefits are worth paying attention to. And then get hooked up with the VA afterwards.

Man I love your content,and I go to meps in a day or so. And your videos helped me with my decision to enlist thanks man

Semp Fi, marine

Started watching you as a poolee now im a pfc. I still have a long way to go. 😅

I’m 23 and working on a bachelors in education. About 1 year of dedicated work in school until I’m holding that degree. By 24, would I be able to join in a capacity that makes use of that academic experience and reflects the effort I’ve already put in?
