My grandfather was in the Marines and was in the Vietnam war. He was a war hero when him and 10 men took back a cargo/Weapon ship from 100-200 Insurgents. He is in the Marine Corps Museum and is in the War Hero Section. He went to 29 palms for 6 months to help the recruits and boots. I will remember him long after he is dead. He is still alive today and will always be a Marine. He was a Infantry officer and commanded a few Squads and battalions. He is a Honor guest at the Marine Corps Ball dance every year. Thank you for reading this and I hope you respect the Marines as I do.
I'm finally going back and watching these. I am a marine corps brat. My step dad is a force recon marine and purple heart recipient. A buddy of mine whose dad is an marine as well showed me your channel roughly 2 years ago and I have been hooked since. you have gotten me through a rough time and I just wanted to say thanks. I never know if you will see this but please keep doing what you do. I love your channel and watch streams quite often.
That night course was the shit. It made me feel like “This is what I’m here for”. The next time I got that feeling was my first op in a Line Company. We did MOUT and when the MGs opened up and there was yelling and screaming and arty sims going off…I was like “This is what combat is like”. And it was such an eye opening experience.
+justin thompson Our first obstacle in the crucible was going up a hill but we were sitting down first. So in order to "motivate" us the DI said, in these exact screaming words, "I bet if there were a bag full of dicks up there youll would be up there in no time!" We got up there in no time lol.
My Company had one of the worst crucible's in the past 4 years, middle of winter, rained soo much, had a guy get hypothermia, My feet were covered in blisters by the first hike in, dont be worried about it though, if you got GOD, youl be fine
Had to piss on the move in between events during the crucible lol... had to make sure it was when we were on a curve in the movement and no drill instructors in front of me or behind me were able to see me. And brah.. cmon.. the moto run is not 9 or 10 miles lol.. I did go to boot camp in San Diego in 09 and that shit was like 3-5 miles max. I doubt at Parris Island they made you guys do 10 miles.
these videos are always so interesting to me, im actually in the process of join the corps so always a big inspirition/prospective for me, thanks for these videos!
Hey man, I enlisted in the Navy a few months back and leave to basic in October; every branch of the military has the same medical and enlisting station. I didn't tell them about the time I broke my wrist when I was in middle school because the military would have to hire a private investigator to look into your past and that would take a lot of time and money to do so. I wouldn't worry about it. Just talk about it with your recruiter and depending on how old you are, it might not matter.
ICEZombies: No. They give you options after OCS and part of TBS based primarily on what the Corps needs, then what you can do based on performance, and lastly what you want to do.
which uniform did you like the most the green jacket or the Blue's and just because you missioned about how much you loved the LAV would you ever change your MOS to a 1812
I used to stare out at the parade deck and imagine what it’d be like to be those guys graduating. I craved fried chicken for the last few weeks there. Then when I got home it was so weird to be back in society after 5 months at PI. Trying to be normal but normal was long gone .
Hey DevilDog, im Max i am 12 i live in scotland (great autobiography) I am in the ArmyCadetForce which is a military run youth group from the ages 12 - 18 and we do somthing similar to what you talked about in your video and we call it FieldCarft, its where we are all plonked into a giant area of military training ground and told to go up against other teams of cadets using blank firing L85A2s, the system is that there is a high rank folowing your fireteam/squad for the training and....
He didn't express it well but what he's getting at is, once you've earned the title "Marine," no one can take it from you. You carry that mentality and that pride with you for the rest of your life. So the saying goes, "Once a Marine, always a Marine." The Corps is built strongly on tradition and Esprit de Corps, so we take things a little more personally than we should sometimes because we feel that we need to defend our Corps, when really, it was just a misunderstanding. Hope this helps.
Man that's absolutely crazy. That's deep. I can only imagine how hard it would be to end sometimes life, even if they are trying to do the same to you.
Brother I know how you feel during boot I ate shit on my rifle running up hill broke my nose. Had the REAPER the next day they wouldnt let me go to the aid station and we only had 1 MRE. by the time I got to the warriors breakfast I couldnt chew my face was so swollen.
Haha i remember the crucible. we were the last platoon in follow series, and our DIs told us the reaper aint shit. and then they said dont look up - well i did. and i looked up, and up, and up and saw some little lights at the very top of the mountain haha. halfway up a kid with shin splints snapped his leg. saw him in MRP during marine week.
.... tell you if your dead depending on the descisions you make EG: running out in a rambo-esc run while underfire. the time on fieldcraft (2-6 days) we get about 4 hours of sleep each night and that is with pyrotechnics going off around you constantly, each day we hardley stop moving and food gets scarse.... i just find it hard to belive that the USMC is doing training equal to that of some british teenagers?
It's a lot harder to do when you're already running low on sleep before you start and you've been pushing your limits for three months straight. Staying up and playing video games between sessions of work does not even compare.
No, because your first kill (or i imagine so) isnt as bright and glorified as many make it out to be, a lot f times there are emotional repurcussions from your first kill and its not something people like to relive.
The crucible was tough and shitty. So worth it though. Getting my Eagle, Globe, ad Anchor was an amazing feeling. Also, the warriors breakfast is awesome. We ate so much some of the Guys threw up. It was also cool getting to call my drill instructors by their rank and not having to say sir all the time
has devil mentioned what bn from what he's saying sounds like 3rd bn around the summer time I graduated dec 18th Friday 2015 2nd bn echo company plt 2097
devil dog you are awesome next year at 16 im signing up for the royal marine commando's ive been training by getting fit and being a cadet any advice on what else i should do?
TheBritishPratt keep working, run for time - EX: Run nonstop for 30 mins, not try to get 6 minute mile. Watch all of DDG's MCM videos. Spend time with family, read up on the royal marines, and read up on your MOS or whatever the Royal Marines call it.
+TheBritishPratt i guess it wouldn't hurt to start speed marching with weight (start with low weight and low dist, then work up so u don't fuck up your knees and shit). in training you'll do this anyway to build up to the 30 miles across Dartmoor, but it won't hurt to start this now.
haha and then the candy part. i was outside our phase 1 barracks with the fam on graduation day with like 5 packs of mambas and 2 monsters. and sure as shit. 1st sgt comes walking by.... that was the most evil glare any 1st sgt has EVER given me.
Hey man, I the next M.C.M, could you make your weapons as close to what you used when you where in service? Ex. M16 / Holo / grip, etc. I think it would be interesting.
Ya standing at attention for more than ten minutes is a pain marching band is nothing to the marines obvious but standing their holding a five to ten pound peace if brass starts to hurt after a little while. Also there seems to be alot of shiting in the marines.
i am about to become a poole and the pt sessions are getting hard any advice? not the running part or pullups its the carrying people type stuff its so hard for me
im enlisting in 3 years, but i heard that they are changing the training to more anarobic (quick burts of speed), is that true? i mean i run track and play football so that probably wont hinder me too much
Devil, talk about female Marines! I'm going to be one soon, leave in 8 months or so. I don't care if your opinion of them is good or bad I would just like to hear it. Thanks
I have a question DevilDog, I went to a hospital for depression when I was 12 and only took the meds for like a month. Does this DQ me from the Marine Corps or do I still have a good chance of getting in? Also I've heard you can fraudulently enlist and they can't search medical records, is this true?
Hollywood Marine here. The crucible sucked but was fun, the hike to and from the reaper was worse than the reaper itself. But damn singing the hymn was incredible.
My grandfather was in the Marines and was in the Vietnam war. He was a war hero when him and 10 men took back a cargo/Weapon ship from 100-200 Insurgents.

What's his name
Is he still with us?
I'm finally going back and watching these. I am a marine corps brat. My step dad is a force recon marine and purple heart recipient.

Corey Davis did u get into the marines man?
That night course was the shit. It made me feel like “This is what I’m here for”. The next time I got that feeling was my first op in a Line Company. We did MOUT and when the MGs opened up and there was yelling and screaming and arty sims going off…I was like “This is what combat is like”. And it was such an eye opening experience.
Its funny because Im a drill instructor and just finished the crucible, out post life.
I thank thats more of the navy bro.
+justin thompson Our first obstacle in the crucible was going up a hill but we were sitting down first. So in order to "motivate" us the DI said, in these exact screaming words, "I bet if there were a bag full of dicks up there youll would be up there in no time!" We got up there in no time lol.
+chrislliatsos lol
magicaryeh It was so damn funny, the DI actually started smiling as well
I love that you talk about this stuff, so many people refuse to talk about it. This makes it more open. Good vids dude.
2 years until I join the Marines. Excited and scared at the same time....
My Company had one of the worst crucible's in the past 4 years, middle of winter, rained soo much, had a guy get hypothermia, My feet were covered in blisters by the first hike in, dont be worried about it though, if you got GOD, youl be fine
+Chase Pennoh amen
had mine in December, was really cold.
Had to piss on the move in between events during the crucible lol... had to make sure it was when we were on a curve in the movement and no drill instructors in front of me or behind me were able to see me.
And brah.. cmon.. the moto run is not 9 or 10 miles lol.. I did go to boot camp in San Diego in 09 and that shit was like 3-5 miles max. I doubt at Parris Island they made you guys do 10 miles.
KiloSixTV He’s definitely exaggerating. Didn’t he also say one of his rucks were 40+ miles ? lol okkkkkkk
these videos are always so interesting to me, im actually in the process of join the corps so always a big inspirition/prospective for me, thanks for these videos!
you forgot the warriors breakfast. everyone eats 5x their bodywieght even those their stomachs shank
Lol I ate too much at the warriors breakfast. Felt like shit haha
He didn't. He mentions it
Leave dec 8th, life dream, cant fking wait
january 26 for me. oohrah
have fun
How was it?
How did you do?
@@paulj61600 it was dope, very different person now, in a good way
or use the flash suppressor it helps to decrease some of the crazy recoil of the AN-94 or heavy barrel if your engaging targets at range

Your Marine corps mondays videos are great man. Really making me reconsider going into the Army. I still got a few more years to decide though.
We did something like this in the army. It was 5 days and we did more stuff. But we had 2 mres a day. And slept with 50 percent security.
You won't like this question, but has anyone in your squad overseas earned a Purple Heart, Bronze Star, or a Medal of Honor?
You’re right. He probably doesn’t like that question
Devil, thanks for clueing me in to Terminal Lance...I had to quit reading it so I could start breathing again, lol...
Why
ICEZombies: No. They give you options after OCS and part of TBS based primarily on what the Corps needs, then what you can do based on performance, and lastly what you want to do.
my last marine corps monday! ship next week, thanks for the entertainment, stories and advice man.
DDG, you really give me that reality check about joining the Marines. Not only this video, but the others as well.
Yes, it was heat-casing. It's when you become severely dehydrated and your core temperature raises to a fairly dangerous level.
which uniform did you like the most the green jacket or the Blue's and just because you missioned about how much you loved the LAV would you ever change your MOS to a 1812

He was an infantry Marine, what would he know about MCT? Other than it's like 3 weeks long and we call it the Marine Camping Trip.
in your nxt marine corps mondays do a thing about why the marines has a rivalry with the army
I love Mondays on your channel. Keep it up!

I had ivy when I was about 3 or 4 it did not feel like anything. Of course I fell off a few feet bed a few times and landed on my head.
Man that's absolutely crazy. That's deep. I can only imagine how hard it would be to end sometimes life, even if they are trying to do the same to you.
Brother I know how you feel during boot I ate shit on my rifle running up hill broke my nose. Had the REAPER the next day they wouldnt let me go to the aid station and we only had 1 MRE. by the time I got to the warriors breakfast I couldnt chew my face was so swollen.
One more year till i graduate highschool. Im in NJROTC and i hope to become a USMC Tank Crewman.
Love these vids DevilDog! Keep it up!
Haha i remember the crucible.
we were the last platoon in follow series, and our DIs told us the reaper aint shit.
and then they said dont look up - well i did.
and i looked up, and up, and up and saw some little lights at the very top of the mountain haha.
halfway up a kid with shin splints snapped his leg.
saw him in MRP during marine week.

he's still in the Marine Corps..he's just not active duty. Once a Marine, Always a Marine.
once a marine always a marine
You make my mondays more enjoyable :D
Not anymore
yeah dude he asked that nobody request that and that he might some day when people stop asking
Hey DevilDogGamer you should make a marine corps Monday of your first confirmed kill.
It's a lot harder to do when you're already running low on sleep before you start and you've been pushing your limits for three months straight. Staying up and playing video games between sessions of work does not even compare.
Devil I enjoy u playing dayz but when do u putting up more vid
never did it, that was after my time, I went through Jan-april 91
I just graduated boot with 3rd BN, K Co and the Crucible was the most miserable experience of my whole life.. God damn
No, because your first kill (or i imagine so) isnt as bright and glorified as many make it out to be, a lot f times there are emotional repurcussions from your first kill and its not something people like to relive.
I love the series bruh. but you think you can make one about your rank? Like about ranking up, pay grade increases, and just ranks in general? Thanks!
Next Monday you should talk about everyday life when in the Marine corps. Like a basic day as a marine.
Already did that
yep the warriors breakfast, i remember when i went through and we came back to the rear we had that shit, mad i was blocked up for like 2 days.lol
I leave Monday July 21st for Parris island. Rahh
brennmann1234 It's coming up man, good luck!
Fucking cold on west coast. Hootch dripping cold water kept me awake. Good times though. But bot really.
2am just got back from the gym
Hey bro don't use the foregrip it has way more negative effects the positive ones and instead use eather one of the suppressors
watch his old videos. He said he doesnt really want to talk about it
The crucible was tough and shitty. So worth it though. Getting my Eagle, Globe, ad Anchor was an amazing feeling. Also, the warriors breakfast is awesome. We ate so much some of the Guys threw up. It was also cool getting to call my drill instructors by their rank and not having to say sir all the time
Very nice. Problem is that its more mental than physical.
hey devil when is the next survive series video.
has devil mentioned what bn from what he's saying sounds like 3rd bn around the summer time I graduated dec 18th Friday 2015 2nd bn echo company plt 2097
Marine Corp Mondays are blessed
No, he left in 08' but would go back if he ever got the chance.
devil dog you are awesome next year at 16 im signing up for the royal marine commando's ive been training by getting fit and being a cadet any advice on what else i should do?
TheBritishPratt keep working, run for time - EX: Run nonstop for 30 mins, not try to get 6 minute mile. Watch all of DDG's MCM videos. Spend time with family, read up on the royal marines, and read up on your MOS or whatever the Royal Marines call it.
he a american marine you guy sleep naked
im wanting to be a british marine but still we sleep naked aswell but meh im comfortable about seeing cocks i dont really care
TheBritishPratt hahaha respect 😏
+TheBritishPratt i guess it wouldn't hurt to start speed marching with weight (start with low weight and low dist, then work up so u don't fuck up your knees and shit). in training you'll do this anyway to build up to the 30 miles across Dartmoor, but it won't hurt to start this now.
Well good thing I can stay up for three days straight easily, that's including working too.
I pissed in formation right before stepping out for the Crucible. My whole platoon thought I was gonna get caught and we were gonna die haha
Hey Devil, if you mentioned it before then never-mind, but what weapons did you use during your deployment?
haha and then the candy part.
i was outside our phase 1 barracks with the fam on graduation day with like 5 packs of mambas and 2 monsters.
and sure as shit.
1st sgt comes walking by.... that was the most evil glare any 1st sgt has EVER given me.
Can you do a video on your graduation and family day?
You need to do this more often!
Just enlisted in the Marine Corps and swore in the other day.
Hey man, I the next M.C.M, could you make your weapons as close to what you used when you where in service? Ex. M16 / Holo / grip, etc. I think it would be interesting.
This crucible sounds badass! I'm thinking of doing the SAS selection (I'm in England), do you know it?
love this series :)
We still want those chat up lines
Ya standing at attention for more than ten minutes is a pain marching band is nothing to the marines obvious but standing their holding a five to ten pound peace if brass starts to hurt after a little while. Also there seems to be alot of shiting in the marines.
After the Crucible in Pendleton you get ice cream, swear to god best ice cream in the world.
there isnt going to be a 54 hour crucible in the SOMC right?
paris island or the one in califorinia
I second this. Just don't break down in the moment of truth when you first get there and you'll be okay. Everybody has skeletons, man.
You should do another MCM Q&A
nah in one video he said he might if he gets enough people to ask didnt he?? the mortars in the jon story
what... because his parents cant tell him how it happened or who it happened with?
its 2:00am, just got back from the gym...
i am about to become a poole and the pt sessions are getting hard any advice? not the running part or pullups its the carrying people type stuff its so hard for me
im enlisting in 3 years, but i heard that they are changing the training to more anarobic (quick burts of speed), is that true? i mean i run track and play football so that probably wont hinder me too much
Ya dude my brother is a marine and is a trying his other 4 years TheDevildogGamer
Devil, talk about female Marines! I'm going to be one soon, leave in 8 months or so. I don't care if your opinion of them is good or bad I would just like to hear it. Thanks
Let's hear some Recon stories!!
I have a question DevilDog, I went to a hospital for depression when I was 12 and only took the meds for like a month. Does this DQ me from the Marine Corps or do I still have a good chance of getting in? Also I've heard you can fraudulently enlist and they can't search medical records, is this true?
The Reaper... don't let it fool you, the way up is not the problem, coming down is the bitch. Crucible in Pendleton is all about the hills.
Well then, good luck to you sir.
One question, why do you use your pc for videos? Battlelog says your PS3 account is the dominant one :P
I can't wait to join the marines only 1 more year!!!!
Im 11 and since i was 5 years old i always wanted to be a marine
Hey DevilDogGamer could u do a MCM about 0331 MOS? Thanks
Hollywood Marine here. The crucible sucked but was fun, the hike to and from the reaper was worse than the reaper itself. But damn singing the hymn was incredible.
Hey Devil, I heard every unit has there own candace for the Marines, what was your unit's?
4:11 awesome ringtone man.
6:22 didn't we hear this before?
the military more than likely prosecute you if they find out you lied to them in the enlistment process....
Shipping out in January, but army.
Damn you guys are lucky I have to wait 4 years then I will join the army
I leave for Army boot camp in a year and a half :/ I just want to go already.
it was 2 am and you just got back from the gym?..
actully if you watch his first fire fight vid he says he might tell that story
