Awesome time in the Corps.... The memories are absolutely priceless.... Always loved pass in review ceremonies. The preparation consist of long days but the outcome is so worth it.
This is one of my favorite videos. I watch it every day. This video gives me the motivation to to keep going strong. Wait until you see it in person. It's like nothing else you've ever seen.
From an ex Marine who's seen them live, excellent production of the Marines from Barracks, they faces of the officers and the music.. very professionally done..Semper FI
I’m a proud mom of a former Marine I consider it as one of my achievements of raising a patriotic soldier. I love this video and I watch it over and over again. I’m so amazed by their ability to focus on their dignity and to be one of the finest branches of the military. They are all absolutely handsome Marines.
Wow, 19 years ago, and it could have been filmed yesterday or it could have been filmed in the 1980s. I love traditions. One thing I noticed, though, is that I have never seen The Commandant's Own perform in anything but the white trousers. In this performance, they are in the blue uniform trousers like The President's Own. Interesting… Thanks very much for sharing this tiny bit of history.
Theres talk about our country being divided, destroyed, dying out... Then I watch USMC videos and remember nothing like that can happen. We only have dark green and light green marines. The corps survives in and around conditions that our civilian population cannot. We will never die and never be infected by the external ideological, biogocial, or economic disease that currently plagues the USA.
it is because of The Marines and Armed Forces and the good people here that I won't leave America. Thanks for making the world and our country a better place.
Former, just former. None of us are "ex". Like I was once told its like the mafia or gang but stronger, once a Marine always a Marine. Fuggetaboutit lol
@TheSarge75 There is no two sides. It is "Pass in Review" period. If you seen it both ways, you have seen it the correct way and the incorrect way. The USMC Manual of Drill only contains Pass in Review and it is the ONLY official drill document in the Marine Corps.
No. Camp Upshur used to be the site of Officer Candidate School before OCS moved to Brown Field; this was the 1970's and prior. Today OCS is on MCB Quantico, while TBS is also on MCB Quantico but on the other side of I-95. TBS is Camp Barrett. There are active and reserve units based out of Camp Upshur today, I know a guy who is a platoon commander with an LAR unit at Camp Upshur; so there is no room to train 2ndLts there.
Back in the summer of 1977 at Camp Geiger we had to be in the Friday Afternoon parade - Alpha Co. 1/8. It was kinda like in the video with a band and all. Passing in review. We were in Summer Service Charlie with war belts and rifles. So everyone is bitching and griping - "Geez let's go on libbo. This is Bullshit." But when the band started playing "Semper Fidelis", we stepped off in perfect cadence and discipline. We were all programmed how to march from Boot Camp. We all knew at some level - "There is only one way to do it." Semper Fidelis.
When I was in Alpha company one of my buddies had a friend from high school who was in the silent drill team. We went up to DC from Lejeune. Since we were Marines on active duty so no one said anything to us. We watched them practice going from parade rest to attention for about 90 minutes. Unless you've done it you just have no idea what a big pain in the ass that is.
Among other things, the marines provide the guards at embassies, So they have to be particularly smart as they carry the prestige of the country in foreign postings. The 8th and I garrison is the school foe what the brits would call "public duties" Selected Marines serve there, in postings at the White Houseand then rotate into the combat units.The two medals are likely "national defence'and "good conduct".
Vision.. I was 20-80 in the right eye when I graduated and my intent was to go through flight school. The best I could do would be a NFO or backseat or "Goose".
@Terrapinfan2007 They are wearing red because they are following old tradition from the American Revolution and War of 1812. The musicians are wearing the secondary color of the soldiers uniforms. (which would be red. Blue is the primary color of the soldiers which that is what they are wearing)
Yes, I've been to OCS through the PLC program as well. However, OCS in itself is a screening and a selection process, its not MCRD where "Marines are made". So technically, although you were paid as an E5, you are not an E5. And because you declined your commission, you were not a U.S. Marine; just a heads up. But I'm curious to know, what made you decline you commission? Was it the war in Vietnam?
@lsb94281 it could just be a general term for "pass and review" saying there will be a pass and there will be a review either way i've seen the term used in official documents both ways, as long as it makes sense to the person watching or participating. cheers!
Not during training in Quantico, NO.. Your pay grade is an E-5 during the training and if you opt out at the end of college, then that's your rank of record for the Marines, as the training counts as Active service in the USMC. On top of it, I did my training during the Vietnam war, so I have Vietnam War preference as well.
@85justus First off, thank you for your service to this great country. Secondly, whether you end up doing close order drill or serving in the band each Marine serves there country in their own way, like you said, every Marine is equal to that of there fellow Marines. They have two medals on their chest because first off they are mostly all Lance Corporals and young officers I think I saw one or two above that of captain. Some men were probably deployed eventually, you never know.
my first plan of serving the military is in U.S marine corps. but I don't know why I became a soldier of the Philippine Constabulary,in my days in the military service ,the time Mr.Marcos declared Martial Law ,which I never agree,but what can I do I'm the only one,so,I decide to go on exile....from 1973 up to 1987,...two years after the fall of Marcos I've return.....GOD bless HIS soul,.....
On top of that, the Marine Corps is training thousands of 2ndLts with each class, plus you have the TBS staff, and the vast training areas where the training is conducted. We're talking a logistical nightmare. Camp Upshur isnt anything more than a set of Qounset huts in the middle of the Quantico highlands.
Uhh....I doubt he was 45 years old when he FIRST went through OCS, (which was during the Vietnam war). He didnt accept his commission upon completing OCS, which was during the Vietnam war when he was stil young.
I'm watching this because I have pass in review this Wednesday and it's a FUCKING competition and my teachers really don't want us to mess up plus my school is Marshall highschool and we are Navy
Hi Tzaz. I guess my question was why M1s this late in time? They phased them out in 1963 when they issued M14s to us. I know they were in service before then, but we got them in 1963 in 29 Palms. I had a chance to qualify with one just before getting out. I currently own a M1 and a couple of bayonets. Just had to have one. We never marched with bayonets attached so I was just wondering. At this time I would probably cut myself or shoot myself in the foot. I still like to see them march. Brings back tons of memories.
ProjecthuntanFish. Thanks. So, bottom line is that they still use the M1 for ceremonial purposes. Learn something new every day. I just have never seen them march with bayonets attached and still seeing the M1 this late in the game kinda surprised me. I carried a BAR for most of my service. Yeah, I know that dates me, but what the heck I would do it all again.
Marines were naval infantry back in the 1800'S since world war 1 they have been american shock troops. your right about one thing though, you cant compare an army soldier to a marine rifleman.
@USarmySnyder627 It has never been PASS AND REVIEW. This statement would mean those that are passing are reviewing what they are passing. The ONLY correct way of stating this parade drill movement is PASS IN REVIEW. This means those that are passing are being reviewed by those they are passing. The "eyes right" equals a salute to the reviewer/s.
listen up skippy, a true professional will not state such commments like the one below. Yes, I am a Marine for over 23 years but now injured and retired. All I can say to the young lad who thinks Marines are not what they are needs to have a reality check. The Marine Corps is second to none and because we are Marines it lives on each and everyday. I can personally tell you this - the training in the Corps and the fact that every Marine is a rifleman first and every Marine knows that.
@cyclist14 The enlisted Marines rank make up is typical of any other infantry unit in the Marine Corps. The officers were Captain and above except for a single liutenenant. So how are the officers SUPER BOOT? When I was avtive, a Captain low end was 6 years in service.
I love how everybody gets all moto when they see the drill team, 8th an i etc. What they don't realize is that they're lookin at a bunch of boots that haven't ever deployed. Look at how they all have like 2 awards. Wanna see the real Marine Corps? Go watch a report from the front.
This is the real Marine Corps and these are real Marines. That they have not yet been deployed is meaningless. Their billets are as important as any other Marine's billet. One duty station does not a career, or even an enlistment, make.
Awesome time in the Corps.... The memories are absolutely priceless.... Always loved pass in review ceremonies. The preparation consist of long days but the outcome is so worth it.
This is one of my favorite videos. I watch it every day. This video gives me the motivation to to keep going strong. Wait until you see it in person. It's like nothing else you've ever seen.
Marines have some of the most handsome guy's! Almost feel it's a requirement😉😂 Great physique❤. God bless the Marines Corps 🙏🙏
Thank you for your support ma'am. It's not easy being a Marine. We train hard and hold ourselves to the highest standards. Gos bless, Semper Fi.
SEMPER Fi boys !!
From an ex Marine who's seen them live, excellent production of the Marines from Barracks, they faces of the officers and the music.. very professionally done..Semper FI
Semper Fi!!!! Happy 231th Birthday Marines!!! Makes me proud to be one the world's finest warriors... God Bless the United States Marine Corps!!!!
Semper Fi you Marines God bless you all!

Color Guard doesn't do flanks or columns they execute whats called wheels to the left as well as right.
Left Flank HUH! - now thats some solid ass drill right there.
Wow, 19 years ago, and it could have been filmed yesterday or it could have been filmed in the 1980s. I love traditions.

Awesome I am the 1k like to support these outstanding troops in a ceremony lots of love from Australia

Semper Fidelis!

Michael Palmer ur boys keep taking up all the good seats in our chow hall. 😂 29 palms
it is because of The Marines and Armed Forces and the good people here that I won't leave America. Thanks for making the world and our country a better place.
The bodies of the officers are all in perfect shape
Brings back memories for me when I served................
Semper Fi to all the marines reading this...............none of them are ex
Former, just former. None of us are "ex". Like I was once told its like the mafia or gang but stronger, once a Marine always a Marine. Fuggetaboutit lol
Upshur was my home for two summers back in 1985-1986.Semper Fidelis.
Nice! I am a former marine and my husband is a active duty SNCO :) Thanks for posting!
Thank you ! America is great.

HELL YEA!!!! The Marines The Best Military Force On Earth.
@MrGrosprout
Greatest song you will ever hear. The Marine Corps Hymn. I've been out since 97 and I still get chills every time I hear it.
No. Camp Upshur used to be the site of Officer Candidate School before OCS moved to Brown Field; this was the 1970's and prior.

Walter Miller all the "get back and do it again!" Semper Fi!
That first Left Flank was sharp as a razor.
Awesome my fellow brother Marines, Semper Fi
2:26 did he not say “Left flank” lol?
I always enjoy watching this pas in review
Among other things, the marines provide the guards at embassies, So they have to be particularly smart as they carry the prestige of the country in foreign postings. The 8th and I garrison is the school foe what the brits would call "public duties" Selected Marines serve there, in postings at the White Houseand then rotate into the combat units.The two medals are likely "national defence'and "good conduct".
@primelimelite it is PASS IN REVIEW it is a movement in the Marine Corps Drill Manual
What 4 star general was there? At the beginning there’s a General Officers Flag.
Probably the CMC at the time.
That’s what I’m think
Thinking
My two brothers were Marines, Semper Fi.
Oh, I remember the good ole' pass and review days.
Vision.. I was 20-80 in the right eye when I graduated and my intent was to go through flight school. The best I could do would be a NFO or backseat or "Goose".
Becoming an officer! I love the corps! 8 years as an infantry officer
RCRD100 I was conflicted on aviation or infantry recommendations?
They do us proud. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
are all the lance corporal's get to wear the blood stripes in the 8&I?
@Terrapinfan2007 They are wearing red because they are following old tradition from the American Revolution and War of 1812. The musicians are wearing the secondary color of the soldiers uniforms. (which would be red. Blue is the primary color of the soldiers which that is what they are wearing)
Semper Fi is short for Semper Fidelis which is latin for Always Faithful
I wish I was young again I'd be in the Marines again.
Sharp! Are all Marines tall, dark and handsome?😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Whats the name of the 3rd marching song there?
Yes, I've been to OCS through the PLC program as well. However, OCS in itself is a screening and a selection process, its not MCRD where "Marines are made". So technically, although you were paid as an E5, you are not an E5. And because you declined your commission, you were not a U.S. Marine; just a heads up.

either way i've seen the term used in official documents both ways, as long as it makes sense to the person watching or participating. cheers!
I was there that day, where is my picture? Buckley?
@primelimelite official term is pass in review
Can tell this was before OIF began, esp with the NDSM only. Still a great PR to the country and the world. Top notch Marines here. Semper Fi!
My brother is in the marine corps
shannon floyd My cousin in in too and another one is on his way. Proud of them both!
shannon floyd whoever that guy was, fuck him! Bet he'd piss himself if he got on those yellow footsteps.
shannon floyd argentina
Where is the rank of the three middle NCO’s or SNCO’s??
Not during training in Quantico, NO.. Your pay grade is an E-5 during the training and if you opt out at the end of college, then that's your rank of record for the Marines, as the training counts as Active service in the USMC. On top of it, I did my training during the Vietnam war, so I have Vietnam War preference as well.
Camp Upshur? You must be old Corps sir. Officer Candidate School is currently on Brown Field on MCB Quantico Mainside.
Well, OCS training with the PLC program at Quantico.
@85justus First off, thank you for your service to this great country. Secondly, whether you end up doing close order drill or serving in the band each Marine serves there country in their own way, like you said, every Marine is equal to that of there fellow Marines. They have two medals on their chest because first off they are mostly all Lance Corporals and young officers I think I saw one or two above that of captain. Some men were probably deployed eventually, you never know.
Camp Upshur is TBS.
What unit did you serve in? What was your MOS?
Learn something new everyday. Brainfart...was at Camp Upshur the other day and got 'em mixed up. But didn't know OCS was ever at Upshur. S/F
My Grandma 92 years old is in the
Maaarynnns
wait i thought u couldnt do flanks with the colors cause it looked like they did it with the American flag
@Terrapinfan2007 They're the Marine Corps band, not Brits.
Standing tall US Marines. Ooh! Rah!
Is this a passing out parade?
my first plan of serving the military is in U.S marine corps. but I don't know why I became a soldier of the Philippine Constabulary,in my days in the military service ,the time Mr.Marcos declared Martial Law ,which I never agree,but what can I do I'm the only one,so,I decide to go on exile....from 1973 up to 1987,...two years after the fall of Marcos I've return.....GOD bless HIS soul,.....

We're talking a logistical nightmare. Camp Upshur isnt anything more than a set of Qounset huts in the middle of the Quantico highlands.
woah what a kewl voice at the end. :3
What was the first song they were playing?
That was "Semper Fidelis" the official "song" of the Marines, followed by the Marine "hymn From the Halls of Montezuma" Semper Fi!
@Robbob9933 got it, thanks for the clarification
Uhh....I doubt he was 45 years old when he FIRST went through OCS, (which was during the Vietnam war). He didnt accept his commission upon completing OCS, which was during the Vietnam war when he was stil young.
Un saludo desde Chile, a los soldados más valientes del mundo
Was actually in this . A-1 Ready 1st! Great stuff! Thanks for posting!
Right Flank March, Ill give the Marines points for their sharp orders
Pass In Review, the Reviewing Officer renders honors to the passing troops
The defenders of our freedom throughout history.
I'm watching this because I have pass in review this Wednesday and it's a FUCKING competition and my teachers really don't want us to mess up
plus my school is Marshall highschool and we are Navy
Oh $hit that brought back memories.. I was stationed at Marine Barracks 8th and I.. Ooh Raw..
Semper Fi Devil Dogs.. Give them HELL!!!
The great regret of my life is I passed up the chance to be a Marine.
M1s with bayonets?
Whats your question ? Bayonets go on M1s
Hi Tzaz. I guess my question was why M1s this late in time? They phased them out in 1963 when they issued M14s to us. I know they were in service before then, but we got them in 1963 in 29 Palms.

At this time I would probably cut myself or shoot myself in the foot. I still like to see them march. Brings back tons of memories.
John Nelson Ceremonial drill rifles same as used at grave side services
ProjecthuntanFish. Thanks. So, bottom line is that they still use the M1 for ceremonial purposes.
Learn something new every day. I just have never seen them march with bayonets attached and still seeing the M1 this late in the game kinda surprised me. I carried a BAR for most of my service. Yeah, I know that dates me, but what the heck I would do it all again.
John Nelson The American Legion has them issued to them and they fire blanks out of them at graveside services (if requested and available).
so you served as an officer?
Oh man marine barracks came along way
@primelimelite I know for sure it's "pass IN Review"
Marines were naval infantry back in the 1800'S since world war 1 they have been american shock troops. your right about one thing though, you cant compare an army soldier to a marine rifleman.
Maj. Heritage Leading the Way

Wow, most of the troops and junior officers are super BOOT!

I love how everybody gets all moto when they see the drill team, 8th an i etc. What they don't realize is that they're lookin at a bunch of boots that haven't ever deployed. Look at how they all have like 2 awards. Wanna see the real Marine Corps? Go watch a report from the front.

If it's the marines why are they playing the army goes rolling around ??
They played Semper fediels and marine hymn
Third song was "Stars & Stripes Forever"
Chills
