I once watched a young marine in a local country bar get his nose broke with his own dress shoe. He was in his blues acting hard all night. Felt bad for him but he probably learned something important.
Daniel8781 On the flip side though, how much shit did the other guy get in for assaulting a United States Marine? Just a regular assault would put you in a world of hurt, but assaulting a Military personnel?
Felipe Bernardes, it'd be different if it was in combat, but in a bar? The Marine has no greater legal protection than the other Joe civilian around him.
Felipe Bernardes ya man a lot of marines can’t fight, most of them would get smoked by any armature mma fighter or boxer...shit maybe even a tough ass hockey player.
In the barracks anything you want to keep you better lock up and secure. Each barracks room is a super highway for everyone in the Battalion. The only privacy you will get is on the weekends, when everybody is gone. Also don't get Marine Moto tattoos until you have a few years in or the salty Marines will tear you a new one everytime they see it.
As a marine I served from 2002-2006. I did make some of these mistakes, and learned. When I became an NCO I finally learned. My marines would blow their entire paycheck on cars, jewelry, fashion, and countless other stupid shit. But we live and learn. Listen to this devildog, and take the advice...
I hope this advice helps! If we can save even one boot ass private from marrying a 400 pound monster and squeezing her into his $25,000 mustang, we've done our job! Don't forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE ya'll!!! More INFORMATIONAL MILITARY VIDS: ua-cam.com/video/F1cy1yvPltg/v-deo.html
What the hell is with Marines marrying 400 lb monsters? Something to hide behind when getting shot at? Just so you don't have to field day once a week? Idiots.
ClaytonFilpo That's some sound advice for Marines when on leave, especially at the bar. Don't go looking for the baddest looking guy there to establish dominance, and make sure to survey your surroundings. Because however bad you might think you are.. There are always more experienced combat vets/operators , who are more than willing to educate you.
The only easy day was yesterday hated that crap, made squared away dogs look like idiots. Glad I wasn't part of that shit. Nonetheless, I'm glad we're all on the same side.
InsanelyDun literally me haha, I have an upgrade so I’m just going to go get me that. The car can wait, sure I’ll start saving now, but I’m waiting until after mos school so I know where I’ll be
On the note of "don't get too cocky", I'm currently in the DEP (ship out march 20th) and one of my high school friends who graduated a year after me recently got home from boot camp ( I didn't decide to join until after a year of college). So he came to PT with us and we were doing ground wrestling and he and our recruiter were showing us some MCMAP moves and stuff and he immediately volunteers me to fight him cuz he thought he could beat my ass. He ended up on the ground in a choke hold after lunging at me all crazy like lmao. He's still a cocky SOB though.
I learned about the cockiness the hard way... I was called a ‘sellout’ by the criminal element in Philadelphia when I went into Boot Camp. I came home to find a house full of thugs ready for a fight. After my beat-down, I used strategy. They were determined to get me killed or incarcerated. The next encounter, I called the authorities and got the watch commander...a former Marine. The thugs tried to set me up, but the officers countered with a plant (they had ran an early sting operation to catch them.) This was 30 years ago...but the wise advice you give rings true, Clayton.
Rule # 1 Buy a cheap Motorcycle and respect it. Rule # 2 Stay away from women your first tour. I didn't say Don't Bang them just don't have a relationship. Rule # 3 stay out of Town unless you have to pick up your cammies from the cleaners. Rule # 4 and probably should be rule 1, Stay in shape, go to the Gym twice a day, swim....ALLOT, trust me it will help you to stay out of trouble with women and booze. Rule # 5 stay away from the SHITBIRDS don't make friends with them and most importantly *don't be one*
I can't agree with #3!!! C'mon, of course every marine is cocky! They just survived the crucible, ANYONE would feel like an total juggernaut after that! haha!
A lot of the time it isn't theft for the usual reasons, what happens is that someone loses a piece of gear so in order to cover up their loss and/or have something to turn in when they check out of the unit or the Corps they steal from someone else. It's a vicious circle really but it has little to do with greed, plus Marines have a long tradition of stealing anything that isn't nailed down.
If there’s anything my DI hates, it’s an unlocked footlocker. I KNOW that. Wait, I’m a civilian and that was in a movie. I can eat all the jelly donuts I want. WTF?
That boot high wore off quick for me and I felt he next big thing was for me to PT myself twice a day. Gave up soda and energy drink. Start saving etc. Not gonna like the schoolhouse gets boring and depressing as fuck. But recognize it and build from it. Solid advice from you sir !
Thanks for the advice, I'm 14 now and planning to join the marines. Though I might not be able to join because of a health problem I've had since birth and can't fix at the moment, but there's hope that I may be able to get it fixed with some surgery.
Outstanding advice Devil, I feel the need to add that these mistakes all come after the initial mistakes. For example, getting motivated by the commercials, going to the recruiter, believing the recruiter, signing up as an 0311 because it looks so fucking cool in the brochure, wasting your last days of freedom by going to poolee functions, getting on the plane, getting on the bus, asking your senior DI about your "signing bonus", asking your senior DI anything... Semper Fi
+Quentin Rucker good to hear! I'm shipping in a month and people are giving me a hard time, trying to scare me out of it. I like seeing people come out of it like you, it's relieving.

one of my uncles was in the Marine Corps for a year, after he went through Boot camp MCRD SanDiego California. he went to one of the porn stores in town and he bought four blow up girls and he put them in his footlocker. well to make a long story short his Gunny found out about his strange things and they sent him to the Navy Hospital Mental health ward, where the Doctor there labled him a Social path and unfit to be a Marine so they gave him a Medical condition discharge. now he is 100 per cent disabled from the VA and he gets over 3,000 a month from them. they also found in his footlocker all his bras and panties he was wearing under his Uniform.
Tammy Gacek im calling bullshit. unless he retired which means hed have to be in for several years 20+ in order to get a rank high enough to get that much a month in retirement checks. the military isnt going to pay your uncle 3000 a month becaude he turned out to be mentally unfit and possibly transgender after "a year"?
Hey Clayton! I know this isn't related to the video, but I plan on joining the Marine Corps because I can't see myself becoming anything else, and it's always been a dream of mine to join the military, specifically the Marines. That being said, I know getting your preferred MOS is difficult, but you still get to give your preferences and pick the field. What would you recommend for someone that enjoys politics and economics? By the way, I love the videos man, keep up the good work!
The only thing I will do after boot camp will be eat a lot all I can but obviously not in a restaurant I prefer my moms, or grandmother even my mother in law food before that XD
Hazing have been bared if people byet caught hazing they face trouble due to some hazing going to far. Also trust me gruntos won't get u any where once ur out u can't use that most for anything. It better to find a mos that u can do in and outside the Marines that what I did
Great advices not only for marines but for those of you starting a new jobs. Don't go all out spending that hard earned money. Wait until you have passed your probatory period.
What? The Marines get 10 days leave after boot? In the Navy I got one day then I started A School right after that. Oh well, your boot camp was definitely worse than mine. XD
I didn't know one person that got the 10 days completely off. You typically have to do recruiter assistant. The Corps loves to send you back and talk to your high school and walk around the malls.
If get get assigned to RA, then you are home for 17 days, but the last 7 you are working with your recruiter. Everyone gets the 10 days off following boot camp.
My childhood friend Randy ordered a mustang just before he re-enlisted (Army) and was shipped to Iraq. Sadly he was killed a few weeks after arriving in Iraq and never even saw the mustang. Another friend I met in boot camp (Navy) ended up stationed in Norfolk not on the same ship as me but I ran into him and we went to the mall on occasion splitting the cab fare, he would go into the music store every time and buy like 500 dollars worth of CDs.
I do agree completely. But I do have a question. I am going to join the National Guard and after my basic and everything I need to, uses that money for down payment to buying a home. Is that a good idea or don't go for that?
Hey clayton im about to turn 17 and i have not completed high school and the marine corps website says that you have to have a high school diploma or about to graduate i was wondering if you could clarify
Hey Clayton I tore my ACL in December of last year and I had an allotgrats(cadavers) ACL put into me and I was wondering after college would I be able to join ? I know there's a lot of medical things that go into effect whether or not you can join I hit up my recruiter but he hasent responded in a couple days thanks!
Clayton or anyone else. Does the PX still offer military members a line of credit? When I served in the 1990s it was called DPP. You mentioned about some Marines not having to budget before. Some new Marines got into trouble with DPP when I was in. Yes I applied for and was approved (who wasn't?) for DPP at Camp Pendleton during MCT. I didn't go overboard with it. It was nice to have when needed ☺
ClaytonFilpo It was like an instore credit card that could be used at any US PX's and BX's throughout the world. If I remember correctly DPP stood for Delayed Payment Program aka Dumb Privates Program. Some new Marines maxed out their credit, failed to pay and well they got in trouble like dumb privates ☺
ClaytonFilpo Thanks for the reply. I'm pretty sure things haven't changed with the PX credit card. Just like the Ford Mustangs, that was spot on and so true 20 years ago, lmao!! Those off base car dealerships 😣
So what if I buy a 02-04 Mustang GT. Wouldn't break the bank and would finish paying it off in a few months. Or should I wait till I just have the cash to buy it? Usually got from 4-5k depending on condition and miles.
To be true it won't matter cash or bank u have a right to buy what u want it's ur money and as. Marine the only thing I can tell u is buy u car from a lot not close to base u get a better deal and lower rate ones by base will charge u more cause they know u have the money to pay
Hi my name is Maria and I wanna enlist in the Marines and I'm not so sure what job to pick I love doing a lot of things and not so sure what to choose is there any way to find out what each job does?
Clayton so the job you had in the marine corps how did you get it and also how hard is the selection? I'm interested in reasearch and a possible job move after my four years of security forces
Hey Clayton if I have 2 last names on my birth certificate but only 1 on my SSN card which last name will go on the uniform? Btw can you do a video on the process of earning your mcmap belts :)
I am a veteran because of my traumatic brain injury -tbi I think that whenever I have a son or daughter and they went to boot camp at Parris Island I would mail them blowup dolls or dildos and on the letter write I bet that your senior drill instructor and kill hat will love these lmao.
You don't retire after four years. You have to make it 20 years to retire. If you only do one enlistment, about all you get is the GI bill. If you retire after 20-30 years, you do get a retirement check, based on how long you were in, and what rank you achieved.
What do you recommend spending money on after boot camp? Buying new uniform gear, head gear etc. I heard standard issue uniform and gear isn't the best for recruits besides for. the guide
+Andy Nguyen Issued gear is perfectly fine. I urge you to save your money, don't buy a bunch of uniform items, and just enjoy your time with family during boot leave
Don't worry about uniforms. Seriously, you get them issued to you at boot camp. Go to mct. They'll just get dirty again there. Then buy new cammies at mos school
Hey I know you don't know who I am but I ship in 17 days. My best advice train now like run 5 miles a day. Run more then you'll have too do 20 pull ups when ever you can do sit ups time your self for two minutes and do over 110 every time. And I promise you they will love you in boot.
Always wanted to become a marine but my thyroid medication stopped that is there anyway around that? I’m a bit of now 25 I don’t know the age limit but wanted to be a Marine all my life
Everything this guys saying is true. New boots are the worst, they go to the club in their moto gear thinking all the women are gonna swoon over them, doesn't happen.
I was in the Marines for 4 years. What this guys says is true.
rah
there's only 1 theif in the corp and everyone else is just trying to get there shit back
I once watched a young marine in a local country bar get his nose broke with his own dress shoe. He was in his blues acting hard all night. Felt bad for him but he probably learned something important.

I just graduated Bootcamp three days ago, and I am so glad I watched this video before enlisting
haha that's awesome. welcome to the gun club
Nice name! And I leave soon for boot! Lol

Question.. is it possible to just use iron sights when qualifying on the range at boot camp?
Jacob Mull no, as in the field in 2017 one would never be expected to use iron sights

they say "OORAH" to fucking much

Or just don't run out of booze, smokes, or ammunition and there is no problem

"within two weeks of meeting her" hahahahha
Getting married, buying a v6 at 17% rate, getting a boot ass tattoo,wearing 9line clothing,crying hazing
So if I leave for bootcamp should I leave my phone or wallet home?
Both, just bring a 20 dollar bill. I'm pretty sure your phone would be shipped back anyways though.
Bring ur wallet ., social security card and I think that's it I'm not to sure what else but no phone
Joseph Oliver Your recruiter will tell you.

+Maria Ochoa Mr. Google will help you, but first it's easier to identify what you already enjoy and have a passion/interest in
Lol so ive been planning to just by essentials and if my friends buy a car or something I could just catch a ride with them every now and then
Clayton so the job you had in the marine corps how did you get it and also how hard is the selection? I'm interested in reasearch and a possible job move after my four years of security forces
+Colby Jennings Public Affairs is fairly competitive, meaning you'll need a higher asvab score, but it is not hard to get into if you have that
+ClaytonFilpo I got a 67 on the asvab
Most likely I'm gonna spend it on online language classes and the stock market .
What if you want to do the reserves?
3 of this things i was thinking of doing haha.
Guys im planning on enlisting after college i just wanted to ask whats the longest some one one can stay in the marines?
I'm sure some have been in more than 30 years.
I broke my left clavicle in 2015 and had plates put in and they want to take them out this year will I still be able to join?
+Brenden Trejo most likely not, but that's up to your doctor really
I plan on picking up a nitrous Kit after boot lmao
What's Moto gear and why is it bad to wear it? (I'm from the UK)
Lol I have a friend that did every single one of these things and he’s at MOS school 😂
Hey Clayton if I have 2 last names on my birth certificate but only 1 on my SSN card which last name will go on the uniform? Btw can you do a video on the process of earning your mcmap belts :)
+ShockzZz Your social security card, I believe. Whatever is legally your real name, but you can do both names with a hyphen
*gets in a fight*
Private’s: I’m sorry staff sergeant I didn’t know I couldn’t do that
I am a veteran because of my traumatic brain injury -tbi I think that whenever I have a son or daughter and they went to boot camp at Parris Island I would mail them blowup dolls or dildos and on the letter write I bet that your senior drill instructor and kill hat will love these lmao.
I got deployed right after boot.... oh well someone’s gotta lead the way.
I've done 2 sins. Motogear I never wear and electronics
Is it true you don't actually get to pick your field in the Marines and (unless you get a super high score on the ASVAB) the Marines pick for you?
I like how you drop down off the camera after every video.
I dunno, I miss my MCT tee shirt. Wish i had it still. But I will say I did break 2 of these rules :X
I have an question, I wanna join the marines for 4yrs, when I retire do I still get paid?
You don't retire after four years. You have to make it 20 years to retire. If you only do one enlistment, about all you get is the GI bill. If you retire after 20-30 years, you do get a retirement check, based on how long you were in, and what rank you achieved.
Anonymous Expect us dont join...Sounds like your just interested in the pay instead of actually being a Marine
If your number comes up like mine did, one CAN retire--------------If you fight hard enough!
if you're interested in pay only just join any other branch but the Marines. Quality over quantity.
Anonymous Expect us yes you get a check every month
About blowing money do think it's a good idea just getting essential parts of living(food, toiletries, stuff along those lines)?
I didn't fall into these 34 years ago but lots did.
What do you recommend spending money on after boot camp? Buying new uniform gear, head gear etc. I heard standard issue uniform and gear isn't the best for recruits besides for. the guide
+Andy Nguyen Issued gear is perfectly fine. I urge you to save your money, don't buy a bunch of uniform items, and just enjoy your time with family during boot leave
+ClaytonFilpo Thank you very much. When would be the right time to buy new uniform accessories?
Don't worry about uniforms. Seriously, you get them issued to you at boot camp. Go to mct. They'll just get dirty again there. Then buy new cammies at mos school
+ClaytonFilpo Roger that. Thank you for the much needed advice
Yes
Thanks for tips man can't wait to Graduate in 2 more years.
Hey I know you don't know who I am but I ship in 17 days. My best advice train now like run 5 miles a day. Run more then you'll have too do 20 pull ups when ever you can do sit ups time your self for two minutes and do over 110 every time. And I promise you they will love you in boot.
+Colby Jennings thanks for the tip, I'm in football so I'm always running and lifting and I will start to run more. Good luck at Boot Camp!
What are your expenses as a brand new single marine?
Always wanted to become a marine but my thyroid medication stopped that is there anyway around that? I’m a bit of now 25 I don’t know the age limit but wanted to be a Marine all my life
Everything this guys saying is true. New boots are the worst, they go to the club in their moto gear thinking all the women are gonna swoon over them, doesn't happen.
