No, Force Recon & Recon Battalions act as Special Operations Capable (SOC) Units for the USMC(In most cases, Or atleast operate under them). MARSOC (Marine Special Operations Command) is the command unit for (Marine Raiders / Marine Special Operations Regiment) and are the Special Operations / Special Forces Unit of the USMC, Similar to Seals, SFOD-D (ARMY), Green Berets and 24th STS (Among Others) who are apart of USSOCOM.
Thanks Clayton for the info! I'm really looking forward to bootcamp and everything it comes with because I know it's a once in a life time experience. Your videos help me out a lot, I know if I ever need advice I can always come to your channel.
11:05-> When I was 18, I had to go to a correctional boot camp for 6 months. After the initial welcome (smoked like charcoal), getting your head shaved (you can't recognize anyone you thought you knew), getting your gear, and then getting squared away in the barracks. That is the exact thought I had :-D Physically, the first couple of weeks were the most difficult. Then, like you said, you're at the mercy of other stupidity in your barracks. I learned real quick about team work, discipline, %40 rule, sanitation, and how quickly your mouth can get you into trouble. Thanks for the share and keep up the good work~!
my personal experience going through boot last year is this. If your going to be a grunt, boot camp is the easiest thing you will probably ever do. When i made it to Infantry training battalion it made boot camp seem like going through fun summer camp. Once i arrived to my first unit last year, it made both boot and ITB seem like pre school. Don't get scared by rumors and motto UA-cam videos. Boot camp isn't hard at all, fat people make it through with no sweat and the passing rate is like 93%. The only way your going to fail is if you get seriously injured.
+Isaac Reaper it depends on the severity of the injury. if it's really bad, then they send you home. if it's like something minor with little rehab, then I believe they let you stay but you're put into a different platoon. I believe it's called rtp or PCP, something like that. I can't remember, but you don't start from day 1. you start from where you got dropped at.
+Isaac Reaper umm... it depends, haha. a friend of mine went to boot camp & she got a stress fracture in her foot. she was in medical for like 4 extra weeks. another girl had something wrong with her hip, & she was sent home. & my other friend was sent home because of her eye. I can't really say what would be severe or minor. because everything is different. what I think would be minor could be severe to the corpsmans. I know they look at what body part is injured & the severity of the injury itself comes into play.
I have a minor club foot (physical deformity) and even though I can wear any shoe or boot with ease. I can run, jog, and sprint without discomfort. I can walk long distances (with the usual foot aches from walking so long) and be fine. I've been losing weight as well. Do you believe that I'd be accepted once I meet the weight requirements? I also won't lie, I smoked weed once in college when I was around 21 and again around 23. I haven't done it since. I just turned 27 as well.
US Navy MEPS waived me for lazy eye immediately but dinged me for psychological exam, something to do with being expelled from high school (personal issue with teacher, he told the school board i was a threat to the school and boom expelled, non violent, no drugs nothing) (didn't listen to my recruiter when she told me that never happened but i thought my record would be looked at anyways), and 5 mins with a Indian civilian psychologist i had to ask mutable times what she said. Sadly i didn't get waived for that ordeal.
Hey man I really enjoy your videos. I'm planning on enlisting infantry in a few months, and I wanted to ask you a couple questions about it. I'm a heavier guy and I've been running and working out to lose weight. I wanted to know if you were overweight when you decided you wanted to enlist and how you went about shedding weight the quickest/healthiest way. Thanks clay cheers man.
I was 80 pounds overweight. I lost it over the course of about 14 months. It honestly is a mental and habitual problem. The sooner you make up your mind that you will develop better habits, the faster you'll reach your goal. I dieted properly, exercised A LOT, and got great sleep. It just takes time and dedication.
ClaytonFilpo Thanks a lot bro. This is something I really want to do, so your advice means a lot. I'm new to your channel, so do you happen to have a video on a diet for shedding weight?
Question! I ship out to Parris Island in 4 weeks. Whats the best way to make it through first and second phase of boot camp? Also, can I get stationed at the base that I want? If so, how?
Considering marine reserve too many ties at home to go active now I know reserve can pick their exact MOS my question is that me being located in Ohio and every MOS I want to do is out in California...Is there anyway I can get into my desired MOS and if so would I have to pay for my plane ticket or do they have some kind a travel voucher system "if it's in the budget"
I'm in the process of enlisting and I was lucky enough to have a decent sized base near me but there is only a few Reserve MOS. I had to just pick one that goes closest to what I want to do. But I'll be able to lock it in
I need to gain around 15 pounds to be eligible, my recruiter told me it would be helpful to go to all of the workout so I'll get hungry and help with my high metabolism.
I'm not an American citizen or a permanent resident but I plan to become a citizen and join the Marines but I plan to go to a recruitment office this summer and I want to know if the recruiter would talk to me
I got extra bones in my feet and I'm missing a bone in each of my pinkie toes. You can't tell by looking at my feet and it hasn't given me problems in over 5 years. Is that going to be a problem at MEPS? Also, at MEPS, do you have to give them all xrays taken in the past?
You should be good to go. Unless your recruiter says you should (which he/she probably won't) you probably won't have to show xrays at meps. Essentially, they just look you over once and ask you if you have any health problems (which you say "no" almost 99.99999999% of the time)
+Matthew L Haha blessing and a curse. You have every single colonel and their brother rolling into your office demanding this or that. The enlisted to officer ratio is like 1/20. That being said, some of my closest friends are Captains that I worked with there. So positives and negatives. Plus DC traffic blows ass.
+Joe Purmort Yes, but you have to be married or a Staff Sgt. And, you have to live within the BAH rate for your duty station. You can't go buy a million dollar house or apartment and expect to afford it.
sometimes but other times it can put u in that general field. like if u sign up for military police you are not guaranteed to get it but something similar like a correctional officer.
Hey first time viewer but I'm going to be enlisting in the marines I have a question to whether to go to a community college first and get a degree I plan staying to for at least two years but if so which is something courses or degree that can help me for it to jump straight over to the Marine core and help me further succeed there ? Please comment thank you
For the Graduation I heard you can rent out cabins on the base . Currently aug 4 is the marine graduation I'm going to in San Diego. How far in advance do you think I should reserve just in case it takes longer for him to graduate?
i'm in the process of enlisting i went over many details with my recruiter. but i cant do a lot of pull ups despite being underweight and i'm a little over the time limit on the run; like i just don't have enough upper arm strength. is there any way i can improve my pull ups and running? my main concern in boot camp is not being able to actually do and meet the physical requirements and getting everyone in trouble. Thanks in advance.
Power Gaming hey idk if this is still relevant to you or not but I’m a Poolee and when I first started I could only do like 4 pull-ups and I ran a 10:34 my first try. I started going to pt w the marines every day that they had it at the rss and now I can do 7 pull-ups and I ran a 9:54 on my last IST. You just gotta practice and work hard. I’m supposed to ship out in august
The Spitfire Gamer they will immediately DQ you in the enlistment process if they find out. listen. if you have absolutely NO problem with it anymore, i just wouldn't mention it.
Clayton I know you're not that close but if you got your play button tomorrow what would the drill sergeant do if you were at boot camp and they sent you they button
+ClaytonFilpo well I got discharged because my run for ist was inconsistent, but I passing everything else. & I can reenlist again in November. but I was wondering if I started passing everything (& even started doing some pull ups), could they let me back in?
+ClaytonFilpo I've recently started to get into the gym, as well. & I was also wondering what exercises would help with pull ups, ammo cans, & cardio? & I should be able to pass everything for my ist by the time I can reenlist? & last question, how long could it take to do 2 pull up (since that's the minimum requirement)? like I should well above 2 by November, right? sorry, for all the questions. I just want to get back into the dep. being discharged lit a fire under my ass, lol.
Should I contact a recruiter now or until I get fit? I played varsity soccer for my school and can run long distances but I'm skinny af. Would the recruiter wait til I get fit?
what are your thoughts on joining the Marines at an older age (27). considering joining the reserves, would like to get some thoughts if it is worth it. Thanks!
I've seen a bunch of your videos and there definitely helpful as hell, but my most important question is if I have a child and not married would I be allowed BHA?? I'm going to meps for the physical soon than off for bootcamp..
+try hard gameing There will always be differences between officer and enlisted - no matter the job. You'll have much more of an oversight role as an officer.
You'll have to wait to graduate. Unless you do an Army route, where they have a program where you can enlist in 11th grade with parent's consent, go to basic over the summer, and return to finish high school.
you can also become a PFC if you did 2 years of ROTC, honor grad, squad leader (sometimes). recruiting isn't the only thing that gets you to PFC after boot.
+Ricky Gamez But it doesn't matter if you graduate an e-1, e-2, or even e-3... You all catch up with eachother within a year and the pay is barely different.
steve lawrence gilmore no but time spent in boot camp go's toward your first promotion which takes about 9 months I believe. Correct me ir Im wrong marines
Disrespect drill instructor = instant death.
neji hyuga you have to be in for about 4-5 years before that
🙌🏻
4 days till I ship 🇺🇸 I'm thinking about bring my xbox, my pet gold fish and a coloring book
Definitely bring the coloring book and crayons. You'll get hungry on the flight.
Do you think he made it?

I'm not Jackson don't forget glue stick

"I pushed a kid out of the way" xD

Of course you are smh 😒
Bryan Villescas unless you truly believe you love america to death and you wanna " give your life for your country " and all that bullshit, dont go infantry positions.
1) High chance of casualty/death
2) No trade when you get out ( no job skills unless you wanna kick down fucking doors for a living )
3) Field life fucking sucks even when your not in combat
I got the infantry contract, leave on Halloween. God bless the infantry
Bryan Villescas Is that the same thing as force recon?
No, Force Recon & Recon Battalions act as Special Operations Capable (SOC) Units for the USMC(In most cases, Or atleast operate under them).
MARSOC (Marine Special Operations Command) is the command unit for (Marine Raiders / Marine Special Operations Regiment) and are the Special Operations / Special Forces Unit of the USMC, Similar to Seals, SFOD-D (ARMY), Green Berets and 24th STS (Among Others) who are apart of USSOCOM.

+Isaac Reaper it depends on the severity of the injury. if it's really bad, then they send you home. if it's like something minor with little rehab, then I believe they let you stay but you're put into a different platoon.

solar sentuary you a senior?
And do u ever get a day off during boot camp or does it go on all week 24/7 for all 13 weeks
24/7. Technically you get sundays "off", but not at all. You still get messed with and you still drill.
It's so cool you met Rob Riggle! 😃👍

What if you take medication for A.D.D. so you could focus. Could you still take it while your in the military or you can't take it?
You wouldn't need it in the military.
You will learn to focus
my question is, what if you can't complete an obstacle? Like just can't do it physically?
You'll do it. There's nothing there that you can't do, I promise.
+ClaytonFilpo So do you build the strength for things during bootcamp? I can't climb a rope that high as of now. I just can't pull myself up.
You use your legs, not your arms. Trust me, dude. They'll teach you

Can you give me tips on running and breathing while running.

Clayton this information is very helpful but when it comes to the asvab does that dictate what you'll do in the Corp?
Nopee. Not at all! Thanks for watching, man!
Yeah your welcome bro your the only person I trust to get advice and knowledge from than you for everything
i knew a dude with a lazy eye in the military, baseball hitem in just the right spot and one of his eyes is all sorts of messed up
I got extra bones in my feet and I'm missing a bone in each of my pinkie toes. You can't tell by looking at my feet and it hasn't given me problems in over 5 years. Is that going to be a problem at MEPS?
Also, at MEPS, do you have to give them all xrays taken in the past?
You should be good to go. Unless your recruiter says you should (which he/she probably won't) you probably won't have to show xrays at meps. Essentially, they just look you over once and ask you if you have any health problems (which you say "no" almost 99.99999999% of the time)

How do you get placed in the Pentagon? I went on a civvie tour there a few months ago and it seems like a blessed job.
+Matthew L Haha blessing and a curse. You have every single colonel and their brother rolling into your office demanding this or that. The enlisted to officer ratio is like 1/20. That being said, some of my closest friends are Captains that I worked with there. So positives and negatives. Plus DC traffic blows ass.
+ClaytonFilpo Our tour guide was an enlisted marine, great fellow, perhaps you know him? He was like the only marine. Everyone else was army or navy.
Tall skinny black dude?
+ClaytonFilpo naaah all of them were white lmao.
Hey Clayton, when are you streaming again man ?
+TrapMarshall Escobar Mondays and thursdays at 9 pm est
I've got a lazy eye and my recruiter said it wouldn't cause any problems. However, I have terrible depth perception....
+ClaytonFilpo, how did you lose the 80 pounds before boot? I'm 15, 6'0" and about 195 pounds and need to lose weight and gain muscle... any tips?
Low calories, lots of Protein
Badger Fishing Diet is the most important.
I'm interested in MARSOC. How do you get in it?
You can get in with any job in the Mairnes. However, you have to complete one enlistment first
Really weird question. Will the BAH pay for a house rent?
Can I rent an apartment and have the BAH help me pay for it even when im not home?
+Joe Purmort Yes, but you have to be married or a Staff Sgt. And, you have to live within the BAH rate for your duty station. You can't go buy a million dollar house or apartment and expect to afford it.
ClaytonFilpo awww okay lmao thanks!
i leave for boot camp in 3 days im super excited
No one ever responds but if you happen to see this, how was it?
Hey Clayton I have a question.
What's the difference between Corrective Training and IT?
+Isaac Reaper Same thing. IT is incentive and Corrective is, well, corrective. But it's the same activities.
Would Infantry be a good mos to do?
if you want to clean weapons all day
I love cleaning weapons!!!!!!!!
if your hardcore and you wanna be in the shit yeah fuck ya the infantry is for you
Awesome thanks man.
Jorgee Vii Unless you want to be a cop when you're done, in which case infantry is just fine.
When you go to choose your job for the Marines do you most likely get the job you want
sometimes but other times it can put u in that general field. like if u sign up for military police you are not guaranteed to get it but something similar like a correctional officer.
Do you get to choose which boot camp you get to go example like San Diego marine corps boot camp
No. Essentially, if your'e east of the Mississippi you go to Parris Island. If you're west of the Mississippi you go to San Diego.
Aiming for recon
do you have any story of when u first held a gun in the marines
Hey first time viewer but I'm going to be enlisting in the marines I have a question to whether to go to a community college first and get a degree I plan staying to for at least two years but if so which is something courses or degree that can help me for it to jump straight over to the Marine core and help me further succeed there ? Please comment thank you
If you're going enlisted, don't get a degree. If you're goin officer, then hell ya go get a degree at a good school
Is there anyway to join the Marines with a GED?
+Martin L get a 51 on your asvab and 15 college credits.
Thanks man!
wow . . . what was it like being stationed at the Pentagon itself?
Now when you say you miss boot camp, if your active do you have PT everyday?
For the Graduation I heard you can rent out cabins on the base . Currently aug 4 is the marine graduation I'm going to in San Diego. How far in advance do you think I should reserve just in case it takes longer for him to graduate?
i'm in the process of enlisting i went over many details with my recruiter. but i cant do a lot of pull ups despite being underweight and i'm a little over the time limit on the run; like i just don't have enough upper arm strength. is there any way i can improve my pull ups and running? my main concern in boot camp is not being able to actually do and meet the physical requirements and getting everyone in trouble.

9pm east or pacific?
+Gilbert Parra east
If you're sick on day during boot camp what will happen
Can you explain "drills" a little bit more. I'm sure you know people in the reserves and how their lives go better than I do.
Ya, I think I can get with one of my reservist buddies and make a vid
so can people who have had childhood asthma join the marines?
The Spitfire Gamer they will immediately DQ you in the enlistment process if they find out. listen. if you have absolutely NO problem with it anymore, i just wouldn't mention it.
dont tell them about it at meps and you will probably be fine if it hasnt come back
Future Marine if you pass the duckwalk 😂😂
Future Marine just look up MEPS exercises. if you can do all without a problem i don't see why you can't join.
Clayton I know you're not that close but if you got your play button tomorrow what would the drill sergeant do if you were at boot camp and they sent you they button
hey Clayton, is it possible to join the usmc again even if you get discharge from dep?
+Bria Carter Maybe. You'd have to get a recruiter that's really desperate for numbers. but ya
+ClaytonFilpo well I got discharged because my run for ist was inconsistent, but I passing everything else. & I can reenlist again in November. but I was wondering if I started passing everything (& even started doing some pull ups), could they let me back in?
yep
+ClaytonFilpo I've recently started to get into the gym, as well. & I was also wondering what exercises would help with pull ups, ammo cans, & cardio? & I should be able to pass everything for my ist by the time I can reenlist? & last question, how long could it take to do 2 pull up (since that's the minimum requirement)? like I should well above 2 by November, right? sorry, for all the questions. I just want to get back into the dep. being discharged lit a fire under my ass, lol.
I have a few videos that touch on bettering pull ups and sit ups and such. Check it out! Just keep running, lifting, and most of all; don't give up
Should I contact a recruiter now or until I get fit? I played varsity soccer for my school and can run long distances but I'm skinny af. Would the recruiter wait til I get fit?
You're fine dude. Skinny does not mean you're not fit. I've seen more 'skinny' Marines then you can shake a stick at.
When is the best time to go off to boot camp
Early fall
what are your thoughts on joining the Marines at an older age (27). considering joining the reserves, would like to get some thoughts if it is worth it. Thanks!
Do it, man! Especially the reserves, it's fulfilling without having to do it every single day.
maybe you answerd this before but, what mos did you sign up for?
Public Affairs
I've seen a bunch of your videos and there definitely helpful as hell, but my most important question is if I have a child and not married would I be allowed BHA?? I'm going to meps for the physical soon than off for bootcamp..
Yep yep, you'd rate the extra money to pay for your child's care.
505KINGZ24 have fun at MEPS 😭
had a kid slide down Aframe rope with hands only. no skin left
What happened to the hot pocket instructer after that "incident" did something bad happened or nothing
Nothin happened to him as far as I know. Probably just got a stern talking to
What about your job if you want to do this job will you likely get it or will you have to get your second job that you wanted
I put down public affairs, then military police. Got my first choice.
Hey, I'm 6' 9" and wear a size 16 shoe in men's, could I be too tall?
Na dude. I can guarantee that they're gonna stick your tall ass in the very front of the formation though for drill
Pleasant :P
is there any difference between MP officer vs. enlisted
+try hard gameing There will always be differences between officer and enlisted - no matter the job. You'll have much more of an oversight role as an officer.
lazy eye, yes. it can close some MOSs to u tho
So, can I enlist when I'm a junior in high school, or do I have to wait until I graduate?
You'll have to wait to graduate. Unless you do an Army route, where they have a program where you can enlist in 11th grade with parent's consent, go to basic over the summer, and return to finish high school.
@@claytonfilpo lol thats not true. I was able to try to enlist in 11th grade with Marines and i was 17 lololol
is it true you can be private first class after boot camp instead of private? if so how?
You need to give your recruiter 2 referrals. Meaning you need to bring in 2 people and they HAVE to enlist. That's how you get credit.
+Isaac Reaper thanks brother
+Ricky Gamez anytime.
you can also become a PFC if you did 2 years of ROTC, honor grad, squad leader (sometimes). recruiting isn't the only thing that gets you to PFC after boot.
+Ricky Gamez But it doesn't matter if you graduate an e-1, e-2, or even e-3... You all catch up with eachother within a year and the pay is barely different.
What kind of behavior, personality, or just mentality did the men of Recon and Marsoc have that you met?
+Derek Barrera Laid back. Chill. Funny. Liked to drink and talk about women. Pretty much the gist of it.
how can you get promoted in boot camp ? marines branch?
steve lawrence gilmore no but time spent in boot camp go's toward your first promotion which takes about 9 months I believe. Correct me ir Im wrong marines
Hey man I heard a rumor that active duty is filled what does this mean?
+Tyler Smith Doubtful. They left a lot of people go. They're always recruiting people.
Love it!
Is it hard to get into logistics?
+Pnutman 99 na

Always request to get It
