- Welcome to the United States Marine Corps School of Infantry.
The School of Infantry (SOI) is the second stage of initial military training for enlisted United States Marines after Recruit Training. Since the initial training pipeline is divided between coasts, Marines from areas east of the Mississippi River usually graduate from MCRD Parris Island and move on to SOI at SOI East (located at Camp Geiger, a satellite facility of Camp Lejeune in North Carolina), while those from the western half of the nation attend MCRD San Diego and move on to SOI West at the Camp San Onofre area of Camp Pendleton in California. Female Marines are an exception, all of whom go through MCRD Parris Island and SOI East.
The School of Infantry's training mission ensures "Every Marine is, first and foremost, a Rifleman". At SOI, Marines with the Military Occupational Specialty of infantry (0300 occupational field) are trained at the Infantry Training Battalion (ITB), while all non-infantry Marines are trained in basic infantry and combat skills at the Marine Combat Training Battalion (MCT Bn). SOI marks a transition in the professional training of entry-level students from basically trained Marines to combat-ready Marines.

Jared Thomas I love them because I can't wait to do this shit
chesty USMC 0221 let me in on who chesty is I hear that all the time
Engine Orange Chesty RIP was an ass kicking Marine.
Urban Radio Hits thanks
for annyone wondering the order is
1: Go to your recruiter and tell them what branch you want to be in
2: they will give you a shipping off date..that is the day you will be going to boot camp
3:after boot camp you get a 10 day vacation day
4:after that vacation you are off to the school of (whatever) for me it will be infantry
5:after school you will be shipped off to a base were your career will begin
What different MOSs are more/less likely to go to different bases, or be deployed?
Daniel Haskins anything 03 is pretty spread out. Almost every other job is pretty limited I believe
You also forgot that non infantry has to do a one month course of MCT after the 10 day leave. For infantry, it’s 2 months of SOI.
It's funny though they don't show the 20 mile ruck marches and stuff
Bruce Kimball i was wondering about that
Is great
Yea that would be a recruiting nightmare
A 20 mile ruck March won’t bother them, the crucible was 48 miles, they’ll be aight😂
@@austinpigg5759 the crucible? Thats a good joke... The crucible is nothing compared to what they do in the fleet... Especially if youre in an infantry battalion
Ooo-Rah! I'm a retired USMC 1stSgt, live in Oceanside near the back gate of Camp Pendleton, and my own son is up there at SOI this very moment (and when this video was created), and he's going to be an 03xx.
Needless to say, my son is now my brother, and only other Marines with sons who followed them know what I'm talking about. And the same goes for any child, male or female, who follows their parent into the Corps.
Semper fidelis, out.
Hell yeah, my dad left a master sgt and I leave for bootcamp in less than a month
gmweirdo OORAH! My dad is a retired Gunny. Me and my two older brothers also joined the Corps. Semper Fidelis
Ooo-rah Darnell! I know you're proud of your dad, and I'm sure he's proud of the way his sons turned out. Well done!
Thanks. I you in the Corps? If so, you're my brother too.
Okay Quintin...well done and good choice. By the time you will have read this, you should have graduated. Welcome to the brotherhood.
Grunts symbolize a lot about the core. Semper fi

Luke Hawkins HAHA 😂 Same
@Stop Playing chill bro how them civvies supposed to know that? They were getting yelled at in the video so. Disrespectful Boot ass POG. If even that.
Stop Playing the beef is real 😂😂 please don’t beat my ass it’s just joke
Back in my day, it was so much better than Boot Camp USMCRD. It,'s inspiring to me at the final stage of my life to watch these videos. Best of luck to all of you, and Semper Fi.
It amazes me how much better things have gotten throughout the years. I remember seeing pictures from my Uncle's time in during the 70s. We talked a lot about our experiences. From what he told me and the pictures I saw, the Corps has way gotten better over the decades. I hope it continues!
The Infantry is the nucleus of the Marine Corps. We go from boot, to Soi, then we get to our unit. Then we go to mountain warfare, cqb instructors course, then we go to Bridgeport again. All the while fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. Semper Fidelis to every Marine who has served, did serve, and will serve. Always Faithful.
Can you go to the Infantry but your contract says Marine reserves?
I remember when they changed from ITS to SOI and we were WTF,probably like going from ITR to ITS,same thing but called a different thing depending on Era ooooorah fuckin rah Marines
@@willford8302 Tell your recruiter EXACTY what you want. Don't take no for an answer.

@@spookycrossaint5519 Huh! Freedom?? You have no idea what freedom looks like.
if you get wounded and need a fellow marine to carry you to safety, hope it is not a female marine
Why not? We call them wookies for a reason :P
If a female marine made it this far, then I'd assume she's able to carry her weight and her squad mates weight. Unless you're doubting the authority of the U.S. military...it's almost like she'd have to have trained for this the same as any other
Abby Schmidt women pass marine training because they have LOWER STANDARDS than men. they are weaker than men. if women had the same PT standards as men, most women would fail boot camp
The standards are going to be the same soon, personally I think they should've always been the same for women and men, and then we'll probably see a decrease in woman in the infantry. But then we'll see woman who are strong enough mentally and strong enough in the infantry. If we exclude certain people before even giving them a chance then who knows what we're missing out on.
Let me tell you something, my friend. When I was in the Corps, back in '81, we had a Woman Marine who worked at the 1st FSSG motor pool at CamPen, CA. She was so strong, she could carry a bus tire under each arm. When the rubber meets the road, what it boils down to is.....Can they DO THE JOB?? If they CAN, they can carry my happy ass out of danger and away from death ANY day. Cover my ass as well as I can cover yours and we have no problem. Quit with the "girls are weak" shit. Not all of them are. It depends. It's like saying that "all men are strong and able to handle combat". One stop at a VAMC psych ward will tell you that that stupid statement is a load of shit. You take people ONE AT A TIME. CAN THEY DO THE JOB. That's all that matters. If there's any other problem, then it's YOUR problem, so deal with it.
This is like the sequel to Boot Camp that nobody outside the Marine Corps really knows about.
if you're going to show the school of "Infantry" wouldn't it makes sense to show the infantry not POGS at MCT
Respect your brothers you POS
Will Rathgeber lMAO, shut up
Squilliam We do respect our brothers, its rivalry. Regardless if they’re infantry or not.
I assumed it was SOI...they just let Wooks in now.
@@squilliam8329 shut up boot. LOL
like how the kept putting the like 2 women there right in the center of the camera when they were around lol.
SORRY SIR..I CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE WORDS COMING FROM UR MOUTH......GIVE ME 50...SORRY SIR I ONLY HAVE A 20......
It's not this fun boys and girls ....SOI is surrounded by hills...fucking hills everywhere and you will force March over those bitches .
The fleet .... especially if your a 0300 will be worse yet lol
I went to MCT and SOI back then, it was a challenge each day. But graduated 0341 in 1992. And spent the rest of my career in different units, retired 0369 after twenty years of service. Also, instructed non 0300 Marines at the School house and officers at TBS at Quantico, VA. Semper Fi
Which company! I was there in '92 Delta Co., an all 0311 company.
@GT0311 graduated SOI August 1992 prior to that was guard duty and MCT. Semper

Dude everyone in this video is invisible
Combat WMs are a complete waste of money, and will cost Marine lives.
They are their for morale😂😂😂😂
I’m a woman and I’m 100% women shouldn’t be there, men can’t be babysitting women in a battlefield, to risky!
If you've ever been through SOI training only you know how hard it was to stay awake during graduation
I straight up fell asleep standing
Really hope General Mattis gets rid of the women from combat MOS's in the USMC and Army.
Bashar al-Assad why do people have problem with women in the army.
First off this is the Marine Corps not the army, And nobody has a problem with women serving. Just not in the infantry
from old army guy, they shouldn't be anywhere near or in a tank or an arty tube.
teller121 agreed
teller121 It's a shame three women are now in Infantry Units, a Rifleman, Machinegunner (good luck) and fucking Arty
How long is the Marine Corps School of Infantry?
MCT: 1 month; SOI: 2 months. Non-infantry go to MCT, not SOI and everybody doesn't learn all the weapon systems, it is MOS dependent. I doubt MCT trains marines on mortars, tows, javs, etc.; I believe MCT only trains on rifles, saw, 240, grenades and M2 BMG, feel free to correct me if I am wrong, this was true in '06- '11
K White to correct you a little bit but MCT is a course that is part of the School of Infantry. Marines with a Infantry MOS attend Infantry Training Battalion at SOI. Both fall under SOI but different courses. But yeah you are correct on the other information pretty much.
Yup, no heavy weapons heavier than the M2 and Mk. 19.
^? There's mortars and tows...
Also, they're called crew-served...
in 1968 it was called ITR INFANTRY TRAINING REGIMENT SEMPER FI YOU YOUNG MARINES GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Things have changed since 1980. For us, iron sights, warbelts, cammy green. Forgotten a lot but I do remember Mount MFer. That'll never go away.
Uh-Oh Hollywood Marine to bad you didn't train at Geiger that place was a fucking Gulag in the 80's i'm pretty sure the Corp violated sum humanitarian rights living in that shithole.
MCRD grad date Sept 24th 1982. I remember that mountain too!
MCRD 1988. Who could forget Mt MF😮
damn.. I can remeber those days..
Retired Corpsman and was stationed at 62 area (San Mateo) twice in the early 70's and frequently drove through 52 area and it definitely looks much better then it did back in the day.
Corpsman up brother.
3:47 Ssgt Griggs is that you ?!
can't wait until I can join in 2018
Charles Haynes I'm going to join in 2019!
TurtleJuicexBae nice man
Don't do it
Philrups why not
Charles Haynes
Are you smart? Are you fit? Then go the officer route if you're wanting to join. It's a MUCH better life lol
When ive been waiting for this for a while😂
I love it Marines! Oooh Rahhhh
Looks like some of this is filmed in Camp Pendleton and Camp Gieger. Am I correct in that guess?
Yeah, the beginning and end look like Pendleton and the middle parts remind me a lot of Gieger or at least the New River MAW side in NC. Good eye.
Fred Brice yes
Fred Brice Some of them are definitely Geiger. No other state has those pines and terrain features.
You can see Mount Mother F---er at :22. Camp Pendleton.
Ah, good ole MMF.
my brother is in marine his name is Daniel
Wow I know exactly who he is, I’ll make sure to say hello..
Thanks for posting. My son is in SOI right now at Camp Pendleton so it's nice to see a little bit about what he's doing. Appreciate it!
They using live or blanks in that training in the woods
blanks
I guess that is how some of us were taught to about face... nasty things! Nasty 4th batallion too.
No shit, right? 13 weeks at MCRD... 10 days of leave then back to ITB for 8 weeks. Not even 6 months and already that lazy foot shuffle. Seemed to only be that WM center frame though.
Yeah man I can agree. Been out for a while and I can still do it the right way.
Yeah SOI sucks and supposedly fleet gets harder but Oh well it's what I signed up for. But it's so fucking cold out. My m240 will warm me up soon enough when I hit split in a few days. Guns is the way.
I wish they had this when I graduated from boot camp. After I graduated I went straight to MOS School
Do you enjoy your "Army style" ranks in a "Army kind" of a platoon?
A Marine company is and always has been 3 ranks of 13 men.
These days everyone goes to the School of Infantry, both men and women. After basic training my grandson was sent to S.O.I. along with all other graduates regardless of M.O.S. Everyone is in such for 1 month. Then he was sent to his M.O.S. school which was Aviation Logistics. Those whose M.O.S. is infantry stay for a much longer period and graduate from such. The motto "Every Marine a rifleman" rings true.
His unit MALS 16 (Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron) is the only MALS unit to receive a combat citation. It seems they were deployed in Iraq to an airfield which had been evacuated by the Iraq Army. Not so, the enemy was still there. I asked my grandson (he was assigned to such unit much later) if they waited for the infantry Marine units to engage the enemy. According to unit history, no way. They immediately engaged the enemy and drove them out. Although his M.O.S. is viewed as a "Geek Marine" unit, every Marine is ready to engage the enemy on the battlefield.
I remember our first hike out, it was 3 days and when we got back all our lockers were broken into and our cash was stolen. No electronics, jewelry, wallets, nothing, just cash. I'm pretty sure our combat instructor was pretending to write stuff down but anyways, we never got our money back. I had $35 dollars in my wallet too...
Thank you Foxtrot so much! I love your channel and videos. You are always keeping me in trend about Marines! And one day, hopefully, I will become a Marine. So, all I am saying is that keep it up your great work, and never stop!
Yes. You are required to answer in writing with a Naval letter or Naval message.
SOI was fun, I miss it. Combat instructors were cool af.
Infantry... Gayest thing I've ever done.
Why are women at a infantry school? As soon as I saw a woman I didn’t want to watch the video anymore how do you think that makes these marines feel going into combat. I couldn’t even watch the video. Think about that for a second.
Marine infantry school looks alot more chill and laid back than army infantry school was. Ours was basically advanced basic training. My drill sgts were just as tough on us there as they were in basic.
SURE. DOES. BUT. THEY. ALWAYS. TALK. SMACK ABOUT. US. ARMY
@@jamesmitchell3496 And we always will! Lol.
Hell yeah I am about to get into the army after being out of the Corps for 6 years because it is easier 🤣🤣
Anything the army does is over complicated and retarded. Worked with them, ate with them, shit with them, a LCpl of Marines is more competent than a SNCO, even officer of the Army
God bless thank you for all your service new subcriber
There should be no women in the Infantry, they can’t pull they weight in real combat.
I can't wait till I'm fucking done with high school
how many
years you have till you graduate
I'm a sophomore so the rest of this year and two more
Same man high school fuckin sucks
Same but I'm going into college then joining
#bootygod #bleachgod me too
Hated this place. But I am who I am because of it. Forever grateful for the opportunity I had to become my dream job as a 0311
PRetty sure that's the moment most of those guys wish they paid attention in high school and went to college. Looks like a miserable existence.
Get ready for WW3 Kids
mr heroe true
It's very sad but it's men . Fell Sorry For all those young Kids men .. Fuck Trump And all Those Rich Bastards
Lmao you are misinformed; do your research stupid.
Were you planning on fighting one if she won? =]
D P All That Training Just To Get Blown Up By An IED
Brotherhood is more than just a word. Same spirit should unite warriors. Not just same sex.
Thought that it was discovered that running across a bare open field on a sunny bright was somewhat of a bad idea.
5:39 wouldn’t it be smarter to use woodland cammies in terrain like this💀
The chow hall looks nicer then i remember? Also that a4 with the carbine stock is cool.
Food there tastes like ass. Worse than MCRD
Manips were better taught in the early 90’s. IMO.
Do you need a first class PFT and CFT or just the first class PFT for infantry ? And is it hard to get a 1st class CFT and what if I don’t get a first class CFT?I’m at 120 crunches and 15 pulls ups(trying to get to 20) and idk about my run time on the PFT and for the CFT the only score I know of mine is about 100 ammo can presses and I leave on June 17th 2019 for Paris 03xx. I’m trying to make sure I’ll meet those. Sometimes I’m worried about qualifying for infantry than bootcamp.
You don’t need to have a first class PFT or CFT but it’s good if you do. And word of advice, don’t be scared of boot camp or ITB, be fucking terrified once you hit the fleet because you’ll meet men you never wish existed.
-Some dude whose been in the infantry for too fucking long and is ready to get out.
@@Endaroo So......2 years and a deployment lol
This may seem like a dumbass question but I'm a civilian. Can you fire a weapon from your left shoulder with your right hand if it works better for you or do you have to fire off the same shoulder that your hand is on
It doesnt matter as long as you hit the target
Ideal situation is to fire same hand same shoulder.
Ah fuckin Hollywood Marines i'm out. lol
how long is infantry school
Normal soldiers no rangers
Takes me back to 2012 😫 I miss this shit 0311 rah
Why are there "Wookies" at SOI??????
That easy women can do it
This could possibly the ideal level of a man's physical and mental performance. I hope to be one of them someday.
SOI is easy. I was on restriction for all of SOI and the weekends were harder for me than the training days. Recon/Raiders/SF indocs are the hard ones.
nice video
1:38 COMMIE DETECTED
Why is there an AK-47 up there?
Sgt's and SSgt's, don't pick this as your 'B'-billet, it is STILL not as recognized as much as the other three concerning promotion boards, took them seven years just to make a ribbon for it when it was promised back in 04. Not worth it, been there done that. Been retired over 5yrs now and hate to see you guys work longer hours than a D.I. does. You will certainly be sleep deprived for 3yrs. S/F...Gunz.
Why is everyone running around with gallon jugs of water and Camelbaks? It ain't that hot there. I get staying hydrated but this idea you can't walk a mile without water is ridiculous.
Funny seeing LAV shooting a tow. LAV 3 is actually a swiss tank, which is named the piranha. There are some piranha equipped with TOW system but I think the equipment is older than the LAV's one.
went through infantry school, 0311 back in 2007, feels like it was yesterday.
fuck i hope i get 0311
Former usmc infantry Marine 1/8 Charlie. I don't think women should be allowed in the infantry because men couldn't deal with seeing there fellow Marine woman being gunned down it would kill them lionesses only because we do need them to frisk the women and there for they would ride in with the infantry.
How do they choose who gets what MOS? I wanna do infantry but I don’t wanna get stuck being a motorman, AT, LAV, ect. I wanna get riflemen or machinegunner
90% of that was MCT. Real men go through ITB
Yeah especially the guys in other MOS's that still do extremely dangerous jobs but didn't get the extra 14 training days. They have no idea what it's like to be a "real man". Shut the fuck up boot.
Im gonna assume you're butt hurt because you went to MCT. LOL, defiantly not boot either
It seems that USMC infantry doesn't think you're all riflemen. =]
I could say Real Marines went thru ITR...back in Vietnam days it was a Regiment not a battalion....but I won't...Semper Fi.
Staging battalion then off to Nam. Semper Fi. I do remember those hills.
I went through this and Platoon Sgt Crs. Anybody else.
14:07....impact
14:27...impact
No offense- but the woman screaming her round count would aggravate the fk out of me more than the taliban.
Where are all the hikes ? And the hazing ??🤔🤔
Chacho Ramirez they are on film
Fucking Lima man. That place was hell😂😂
17:20 I guess they don't teach female Marines how to about face.
The people saying Women can’t do infantry are the people who give me even more motivation to reach that very goal of showing I, a woman, can do exactly the opposite of what they think.
Provem wrong then champ.
That's a terrible reason to join the infantry lol...
I. HOPE. THE. ENEMY AGREES. WITH. YOU. HE. WILL. LIKE YOU
well Tiffany, did you have a kid and settle down or deploy as infantry in the marines? What happened in real life?
17:14 that girl just turned around lol. Also, there are women in ITB now? wow.
I know this is hella old, but, there is no women in ITB. Just drops outs and MCT 🤙
Hello i am harly Davidson O'Connor as alfa David one fox trot eleven o eans eleven
Will the Marines still be using the M16 for training as of fall 2017/spring 2018? Or will they begin using the M4 for training by then?
why oh why aren't those boots spit shined ( no need to reply, genius, it's a joke)
My son just left right b4 thanksgiving for this. So proud of that kid. 19 yrs old and kicking ass!!! Hoooo rahhh!!!!!

So much more modern than when I was there in '92.
Marines have girls doing there fighting for them. So happy im not in anymore! 0331

hardest shit I ever went through
well back in 06, now they got chicks wtf
Michael Blazejewski Women only gonna get are asses killed
=] Then you definitely weren't infantry.
Who cares about MOS? Actual deployments count.
Makes me feel so much closer to my son and what he is going through. Also informs our conversations when we get a chance to visit. ❤
I date myself. Back in the day as an artillery guy (first an 0811) but then as an 0861, there was no such thing as extra infantry training. Mind you, once assigned as an FO with the infantry, I got trained pretty quick. :-)
Are they using M16s with a Collapsible stock?
LOL, it has changed a lot since i went in 92. It was hell on earth and they made sure you knew that. Boot camp was a breeze compared to SOI.
