U.S. Marine Barracks Room Tour - Mini Vlog 

Thank you baby for this video!! My son just joined the Marines and I just wanted to get a glimpse of how everything looked. I wish you the best and may you continue to prosper always stay true to yourself and shoot for the stars!!

Glad you went in the military for the experience. The Marines definitely will set you apart from the real world when you get out. COVID-19 definitely didn’t help. I spent almost a decade in the Army. My son wanted something different and maybe some college money If he needed it. I knew from experience too we were in a twenty year war I really didn’t want him playing call of duty In Afghanistan than spending the rest of his life with regrets. Especially seeing how we ended up in the end. So when he went in the Marines I’m like be a Marine choose a smart job. He went in as a Admin and spent four years @ MCRD. He didn’t mind it except they convinced him it was better to marry his psychotic gf than live in the barracks and he did. She found some local bartender and drugs was better. Lucky no kids and quick divorce quickly solved that. However lack of support and understanding from senior leadership made four years seem like an life time. One Gunny kept failing him numerous times on PT keeping him from getting his Corporal stripes that even his Sgt and Warrant Officer new was wrong and waited tell the Gunny was on leave and sent him over to Miramar Marine Corp Air Station to take his PT test. That was BS but he passed like with flying covers was promoted to Corporal and they needed a Admin at another company for 30 days and put my son their since the Gunny was going be leaving anyways when he came back from leave and they didn’t want him messing with my son when he got back knowing he was promoted. He was pissed when he came back. Couldn’t do anything. Funny story the Gunny wasn’t qualified to do payroll because he couldn’t pass some test or some qualification. My son was qualified and did all the payroll. Another reason my son got out. He had all kinds of qualifications and certifications, he did taxes for the guys on base, he did like over hundreds funerals while he was there. He did care. They still let the Gunny slide. When he was getting out their begging him to stay. Was going promote him to Sgt. He’s like where were you when I really needed you. I’m out of here.

Looks like every base I've ever been too.....on the other side of the world. I guess it's all birthed by the British Empire. Even the colour schemes are identical.

It’s nice to watch these videos and see how the new generation is living in the corps. It makes me reminisce about my time in the corps, but man, I’m so glad I got out. No room inspections but I still keep my marine corps standards of cleanliness and basic hygiene. No PFTs or dumb company Moto runs but still maintain my old marine corps health & fitness and then some. No living in shtty barracks and even though I pay rent, I do live in a nicer spot. No checking in with my SGT if I want to leave on PTO. No 5:45am roll call. No mandatory shaving and haircuts, but I still keep my grooming standards. I can come and go as I please. I can take a nap whenever I want to (sometimes even during work hours). I say all this because if you’re thinking about life outside the corps, best believe it can absolutely be better than being in the corps.

I want to enlist soon, I’m just informing myself before having the chat with my parents lol Thanks for the tour, man. Really appreciate it!

For some reason the chowhall is what I miss the most. The Littleton one at 29 and the French Creek one at Camp Lejeune were my favorites.

Looks like LUXURY compared to the barracks in the 70's and 80's. Walk-in closet? WTF?????

Damn those are some shitty barracks. In the Army we at least get our own bedroom. But in the Air force they basically live in apartments.

Looks way nicer then the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune barracks in the late 90’s I would of killed for barracks like this

I loved living on base. 1982... camaraderie, free chow, housing, utilities...ZERO worries. It wasn't anywhere near this nice.

🐐 & I ship out next year it’s my first time becoming a marine and what it takes ! The Marine Corps is not for everyone but I have high hopes and potential that I will become one with structure and discipline get the marine offers I’ll be a good fit

Time to move forward brotha!! Onwards and upwards 💪🏾

This was a really nice tour, I liked seeing all this. Your work are is cool, and yep, everything happens for a reason #blessed

My son is over at 2nd TSB right now. Stay motivated man! and dont let the unit/barracks whiners convince you things are shit. I was surprised when we went down there, Lejeune is actually a really nice base. I take my surfboard out to Onslow beach when we come to visit.

I stayed in these exact barracks 22 years ago.

Loveee the tour 💜💯 things will be so much better as you grow in the near future 🤩💐 …also, hope you had a great Thanksgiving 🦃🍁‼️‼️

I’m blessed to say I’m making the decision to join the Marines. I will prosper. Mark these words, y’all. 🎉

Twan,your gonna miss the chow.

USAF be like: tis a peasants life

Raise your hand if you are old enough to have been stationed on Camp Pendleton and quartered in a open squad bay? ✋

Times have change, we slept in squad bays. I will say this our chow 50 years ago look better than yours did today

Wait so you dont have to share a dorm with someone if want to?? I thought it was mandatory?

Looks like the Hilton, compared to Las Pulgas, Camp Pendleton 1982!

Travel back in time. 1980. Trust me, you eating GREAT! Pizza was served maybe once a month. Also, go to your nearest storage facility, knock down the dividers, add shitters and pissers...you got my barracks. 😐

look like section 8 lol

Thx for the video, no RU-vid when I joined in the 80s. A lot different now, youngsters can see what they're getting into. I would have loved to have seen videos from boot camp. I would have joined the Air Force haha. Semper fi

I couldn't help but notice, no working parties painting those large rocks along the road. Nothing like endless working parties or PM to keep the "troops" occupied.

What are the officer quarters like?

I was at Pendleton in ‘84 & ‘85 in the 22 Area. Let me just say that if our rooms were as UNSAT & filthy as that room we would have been on a permanent field day. That was embarrassing to see…”nahm sayin”? WTF?

I ain’t miss new River at all lmao

I was in from 1992-1996 the food looks like it's improved since my time.

Un SAT !! What are you doing in my beloved Corps!

How you gonna dawg your chow hall Marines like that, like they're filthy or something? They run tighter ships than a lot of sections on base.

Pretty sure I was the guy behind you in chow hall like lmaooo

How were you able to move off base not talking financially? I thought you have to be atleast E-5 and up or married idk

Damn way nicer than the barracks i live in. My room small af.

Can u get bodybuilder big, in the Marines.?

just got my orders to the fleet for 29

Yes right

Not that bad not that bad not that bad

What base is this?

Too many trees and no hills. Must be Lejune

I'm not trying to be a Karen or anything but when I saw the room it a hot mess

Lmao that same dusty ass bike been there since I left in 2020 🤣

New river sucks and it depressing worst place to be stationed at

Barrack? Or bedroom?

Bruh im mind blown. Knocked on 337, walked in 328? Americans be trippin. Whatever you on, I want Dat 😆 😆

How did you move off base ?

Bro you from the city ain’t you? (Detroit)

Does every Marine get their own bathroom and room?

Alil confused, he said 2 man there and there, I only saw 1 bed on his bathroom side

Is the chow hall free?

Pendleton 64-65

What years where you in

Doesn't look as bad as people say

I’m here now lol

Aye yo I chose east coast is there shit to even do there

Hated this damn place when I was there, and I wasnt even a Marine, but a corpsman. Place has the most depressing atmosphere and I had to deal with alot of little racist terds from the Navy and Marine side. Appreciate y experiences though, but you couldnt pay me to go back 😂

Cant listen to you you know so you know I aint gonna you know get some rice or you know what im sayin or you know =. DA
