"Some Rite Of Greeting New To The Corps." - The Pacific (2010) #shorts #thepacific #movie #scene
The Pacific is a 2010 American war drama miniseries produced by HBO, Playtone, and DreamWorks that premiered in the United States on March 14, 2010.
The series is a companion piece to the 2001 miniseries Band of Brothers and focuses on the United States Marine Corps's actions in the Pacific Theater of Operations within the wider Pacific War. Whereas Band of Brothers followed the men of Easy Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment through the European Theater, The Pacific centers on the experiences of three Marines (Robert Leckie, Eugene Sledge, and John Basilone) who were in different regiments (1st, 5th, and 7th, respectively) of the 1st Marine Division.

Eugene Sledge, along with his fellow replacements Robert Oswalt and Bill Leyden arrive at Pavuvu. While Sledge is taking a stroll outside, Sid Phillips jumps out and tackles him. They are stopped when Captain Andrew "Ack Ack" Haldane. and 1st Lieutenant Edward "Hillbilly" Jones comes and asks what this is all about. Sledge and Phillips say they are old friends from Mobile. Ack Ack dismisses them, but tells them not to dislocate a shoulder. After that the two friends travel around the camp. Phillips tells Sledge that he's leaving. Suddenly it rains. Gunny Haney and another officer strip n*ked and bathe in the rain. Haney explains the proper way of doing it, until suddenly it stops, much to Haney and the other officers chagrin. (Fandom: The Pacific Wiki)

Just to be clear, a Gunny, short for Gunnery Sergeant, is an NCO, not an officer. The rank is equivalent to an Army Sergeant First Class.
I grew up in Mobile in the 60s and 70s and attended the Sydney C. Phillips Middle School. Until I saw this series, I had no idea who the school was named for. Phillips went on to become an MD and practiced for an entire career in his hometown of Mobile. The city was founded by the French, 322 years ago.
Sadly, it has become just another Blue Cesspool city in a solid Red State. It grieves me to say it...
Damn fine officer. Let NCO's do NCO things and troops be troops. Respect.
Some times tops gotta come off lol
Like I always say at work. There's a time to mess around and a time to be serious.
Never let an officer get too far away from his men. Let’s not spout bullshit boys
Captain Haldane (Ack Ack) and “Hillbilly” were such fine officers. Sadly they were both lost. Eugene Sledge thought so much of Captain Haldane, that he dedicated his book, “With The Old Bred” to him. A book that Sledge didn’t write until 1981, nearly 40 years after the events of this book took place.
I like the leadership tbh, we need people like him tbh
Haldane was a great character. Even I was sad when he died. :(
@videoplayback_ like John Basilone and his friend
Nah this is just standard Marine behavior. Guarantee that conversation would've ended differently in any other branch
Sadly he was on nose bleed ridge when a sniper took his life terrible moment for them
When I was in the army people would be wrestling like this in the motorpool and nobody would say anything as long as there was nothing to get done
That is a very eloquent and damn good officer
I’m in charge because I’m in charge. I don’t need to prove it to you or even to myself. My natural place is deciding what we do. Your place is doing it. Now we can all relax.
Apparently he was. Very much beloved and respected by the men under his command, it's a damn shame he didn't make it home.
and to think, the actor playing Sledgehammer is the kid from Jurassic Park.
Radio Flyer, it is him
I can’t believe they haven’t brought him back for the new Jurassic Park movies
oh wow I didn't know that!
The Cure
Nothing gets past you.
Captain of Bowdoin college football team, voted most popular senior of the class of 1940, Purple heart and 2 Silver Stars. RIP "Ack Ack" Haldane.
The fact that Eugene Sledge knows who CPT Haldane is even before he was introduced goes to show how much of a legend Ack Ack was.
This is one of many reasons why Haldane was the best, he’s only ever mentioned but the respect from the men who survived speaks volumes
Thats a good leader "long as yall aint truly fighting, get back to it"
Good officers like this are rare. As a NCO I remember a couple butter bars that I told would not make it through the war the way they treated the enlisted. Some listened and some were KIA..
It's hit or miss with the officers, the good ones listen to the platoon sgts and don't micro manage. Though you also can't try to be everyone's friend. I served with both bad and good officers, the older I get though the more I understand why the harsher ones were the way they were, why I got fired from my billet on my second Iraq pump for putting troops welfare above mission accomplishent, and I disobeyed a direct order. I held that grudge for a while, but he was in the right. Live and learn, sometimes they gotta be harder on us for whatever reason, and it's gotta be hard replacing a beloved LT in a senior company like Weapons Co. Point is sometimes the ones you think were dicks when you were a kid, you understand more as you get older. The older you get the smarter your parents seem.
“It’s a shame, sir. LT got hit in the back of the head by a ricochet soon as the VC started shooting. Damned shame.”
When my eldest son came home from Marine Boot Camp, this was him and his younger brother. When the younger brother came home from Army Basic Training and Infantry School, they had a rematch. 🥰❤️🥰
Who won the rematch?
@@benobrien5252 Big Brother, a wiry PT fiend won round 1. Younger Brother, also a wiry PT fiend, won round 2. They were going for a tiebreaker when mom broke it up with a broom. Undefeated and still Champion, Lieutenant Colonel MOM! 😁
True Story, she outranks all of us! 😁
@@ElmoUnk1953 Trust me, I have absolutely no doubt that is the case! 😆
Mom always outranks!
@@ElmoUnk1953 Mark of a good officer there, coulda given yourself any rank and settled for the highest field officer!
He was a fantastic officer according to the men that served under him. Unfortunately he was taken too soon.
I read sledgehammers book with the old breed its really good
Helmet for my pillow is Leckies book. Also really good.
Rip Ack Ack
I pove that the answer is yes and no. No thisbisnt an official greeting of the Corps, sir. But we used to knock heads in high school.
Its so sad when later in the series both Capt Halden and his right hand man got KIA. 😢
alright looks like I have something to watch after Band of Bros thanks to your channel
..Conflict resolution 🤣🤣
Bros being Bros. Even in conflict & in hostile territory
I watched this show thinking it was purely fiction and was shocked seeing it was based on a true story at the end.
I always see people talking about Haldane, and rightly so! Ack-Ack is a legendary leader. But i see precious little about "Hill-Billy". Does anyone know more about the actual marine? Is the character based on a real person? I really identified with his character in this show, and want to know more about him if possible!
His actual name is Lt Edward Jones. He's from West Virginia, I think. He was killed two days before Haldane.
Carry on means continue what you were doing. "I wanna see some bloody lips when I get back"
Friends do not fight to draw first blood. That is definitively not what he meant. Precisely because he understand that it is just banter he lets it go. If he thought they were going to injure each other, he would stop it, because his first priority is to have soldiers that are healthy and can work with each other.
Good Officers are rare, but you never forget them. I hoist my whisky to 1LT Lacksen and Capt Foster 30 years on, damn good men and all of us would have followed either of them to hell.
Good stuff is gonna begin real soon..
The most devil dog scene that a devil dog did see, a devil dog.
As my father a decorated WWII combat infantryman and platoon Sgt said
Most of us were blessed with good competent officers for most of the war and his unit happened to be one of them he felt awful for the units less fortunate than his
My dad was such a good platoon Sgt when the higher ranking brass found out he could speak read and write both Italian and German (something he always hid from rear area officers) they offered him a job in intelligence interrogating German POWs and deciphering captured German documents when his rifle platoon found this out and who was going to be my fathers replacement NCO a man who was vastly less experienced than my dad and essentially incompetent the members of his platoon begged him not to leave as they felt their odds of survival under his replacement NCO were at best poor so my father because of his conscience declined a nice safe risk free rear area job in Army Intelligence to take care of the men in his platoon he said there were many times after that he quietly to himself regretted his decision when he found himself neck deep in a battle but really felt stupid when the Battle of The Budge broke out which was the worst Battle the US Army fought in the entire European theater of conflict in WWII
Great series. Sledge. Just wait for the crabs in your tent and the smell of rotting coconut.
Captain cool. Pity he becomes a KIA.
Led from the front.
They’ll never get the southern accent down
Hillybilly was the best XO for that company
Image this happened now. Both of them would be heading off to njp
Another unicorn company grade officer,brings a tear to my eye.
Their hair is ridiculously long for Marines
They weren’t exactly shaving in the pacific theater. And the military was less strict about haircuts back then.
For the time it isn’t
Shaving heads bald don't make you a better fighter.
@@gregrizal5043 It's likely for hygiene purposes. Lot of men in dirty cramped conditions, unable to wash regularly is a perfect breeding ground for fleas, lice, etc. Also prevents an unnecessary distraction of having muddy, matted hair.
@@Rowrin they dont have the luxury of the service of a barber
Children send to the slaughter and yet old man smile and spit on there graves
Uraaahaaa..SemperFi
I highly recommend watching Lemmino's video on this topic, a much more realistic take on the what happened. Also the radioactive stuff they found where the clothes of 2 guys who worked with radioactive material as part of their jobs, one was from what I recall at a plutonium refinery while the other was a traniee at a power plant. The Soviet nuclear tests where done in the deserts of Kazakhstan, a nation that is today independent and still miffed at Russia and the Soviet Union for using their land and people as test subjects.
My grandfather was fighting his son to not loose his legs in Vietnam tho he did
I assume these were pretty well authenticated. I'm curious about the haircuts. Were new Marines sporting hair like that? Or current ones for that matter.
Something I didn't understand is why Syd left just as Sledge was arriving, I get he was on Guadalcanal and other islands but Leckie and the other were as well and they still fought in peleliu, the show didn't explained well or I didn't catch it...
I was curious of this and just investigated myself. Sidney had won a division lottery to be amongst a group of men to be transferred to the US, returning on 2 boats, which had coincided with the arrival of replacements for the division including Sledge. Sid had served domestically for the rest of the war.
Excerpt from "The story of Dr. Sid Phillips PFC USMC WW II Veteran Part 3" from Andalusia Star News:
'About a month before they were to leave Pavuvu, the men of the 1st Marine Division drew names to see who would leave the island on the two ships sent to take them back to the states. Phillips’ name was drawn to take the second ship. It was his good fortune. Unknown to him, his childhood friend, Pvt. Eugene Sledge came in with the replacement 5th Marines on the first ship. Phillips tells how they came together on Pavuvu. “On the day after the first ship arrived, I was sitting on my cot when I noticed someone coming down the company street looking in each tent. I recognized ‘Ugin’ [his nickname] about three tents away and ran out into the company street screaming loudly as I could, ‘Ugin’. He ran, I ran; we hugged each other and pounded on each other….a large crowd gathered….and I introduced him around and then we got back to pounding on each other”. For the two weeks until his departure, Sledge and Phillips spent most afternoons and evenings sitting around talking about old times in Mobile.'
How is some dirt on a random island in the pacific his deck?
How did you not know he was walking around?
It would have been funny, and appropriate, if Sledge had obeyed orders by immediately throwing an elbow into the other ones face and finishing the fight.
CHRIST SHALL CONQUER
I left in 1974 because of a idiot Captain.
Believable haircuts?
Not really becuz the USMC is really strict on uniform and grooming, but its more laidback during deployment where as long as its not too excessive. Since Sledge is fresh off the boat his haircut should be more similar to the officers or high fade cut. Phillips haircut is more believable becuz he has been out there for longer. Might have a little bit different standard from the 40's but Marines tend to have "traditions" compared to other branches so I'm sure theres not much huge change in hair regs.
@@iplayfoofee3547Not really, USMC did not have many requirements as far as haircuts back in that day.
Conflict resolution? Don't think that term was used back then. Call the screenwriter
I thought it was the codename of the third bomb...
🔥💐🔥
Only thing that comes out of Mobile is steers and queers! Now I don’t see no horns so you must be queer- Gunnery Sergeant Foley “Officer and a Gentleman “ RIP Louis Gossett Jr.
Wrong movie bud
This was dumb
This is how a men communicate you may not understand
@thehiddeneye9271 lmao it's a boring scene to make short out of my "man"
@eeel90 you probably don't have any friends
