Does nobody here realize that physically and biologically, men are built to be able to do more with their muscle. We are designed differently, hence, there are different standards for male and female. While all females should strive for the male PT standards, the standards set for us are equally as challenging. They take into account the biological differences and push us to the same limits that they push the men to. Marines, male or female, are marines. The people on here saying that female marines are less than the men because they can't meet the men PT standards are probably bored civilians who have nothing better to do than to criticize the people who devote their lives to protecting our country so that ignorant people can sit on their asses and harass female marines. Simple as that
Errrrrrrraaaahhh!! Semper sister
And both men &women has the fight or escape tactic in their genes. THE training &weapons should be equal for everybody regardless WHO you are. In Sweden they block THE defence so not everybody gets equal Rights to weapons or defence.
True, but as you said, men are better suited for combat in general, so no disrespect meant what so ever, but I think that it should be the males doing the rough shit.
gdawg bhaller You see males doing rough shit too.
Men are stronger than women but I believe women can do it to maybe not as good as the men but they can do it some of their training is not even similar to the men because the men are stronger in the upper and also if you were a woman they will give you birth control so you get your period
Dear Recruits or Future Recruits: Thanks for signing up! You ladies have my total respect! I admire you! Sending you my love, from Delaware. All or nothing!
I'm You 💕
I expected to look in this comment section and see hate comments against females but people like u are what make us
@Miki Mouse yeah honestly I think I could, anyone can choose whatever career they want as long as they put their mind to it.
I’m You Future Marine reporting for duty! Oohrah!
I'm from Delaware 😎
Before you decide to post a hate comment about women serving the the USMC or any other branch, think about how many women have died fighting for their country, both gender deserve equal respect, they both fought and died for their country.
Gabriela Cordell I agree! If the boot fits, wear it! Semper Fi!
Gabriela Cordell you have my respect 100%
ts the truth
Amen to that
Im pretty sure men account for more than 90% of war fatalities.
Male or Female? All I see is people serving their country.
THANK YOU
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE FOR OUR COUNTRY
bigrider2806 If you get the urge to play on the highway, don't fight it.
bigrider2806 Ever spent a single day in uniform? And no the girl guides don't count. Now Fuck Off you're boring me....
bigrider2806 Yawn........
8:32 "It's a miracle. You're all healed."
One of my favorite phrases during training. Time to get up. No more getting dragged through the mud, gravel, poison ivy or snow. At least for a few minutes until the next ambush.
The Marine Corps has the best uniforms out of any branch of service. I’m not a Marine btw I’m a soldier. Love the tapered look
I'm a Marine and I think the Army has the best uniform. Lol
In 1967 i was a young kid in College attending Officer Candidate School (OCS) at Quantico, VA. It's a long story but I decided to join the Marine Corps rather than be drafted into the Army. I was in excellent shape. I could run 5 miles without breathing hard. i could do 60 pushups, etc. I figured I could breeze through the physical fitness and academics of OCS.
Boy was I wrong. I wasn't prepared for the constant mental and physical stresses the Marine Corps demanded. I learned to dig down deep to where I didn't think I could go any further and did. Running 5 miles in running shoes isn't like running 5 miles in boots and combat gear. Doing 60 push ups while fresh isn't like trying to do 40 when exhausted.
My OCS class began with 50 candidates and we graduated with less than 25. And this was at the height of the Vietnam War where the Marine Corps needed every officer possible.
OCS was a lot like Boot Camp back then except the criteria for graduating was very different. Not only did we have the same physical fitness and harassment as the enlisted in Boot Camp, but our Drill Instructors (DI) were not encouraged to try to graduate as many as possible. Instead, the primary criteria in addition to making it through the physical and mental harassment was whether or not they wanted us to lead them into combat. If not, you were dropped from the program. If they felt they would follow you in combat, then you graduated as long as you made it through the physical and mental stress as well. The primary emphasis was on our ability to lead under extreme pressure.
As an example when I went through OCS, there was an exercise called the Speed March Reaction Course. The idea is that one of the OCS candidates was to lead a 4 man team over a course through the woods and terrain with full combat equipment at a run to an opening where there was a challenge we had to complete within 10 minutes.
I remember the first challenge was a large ditch filled with water with a telephone pole on either side. There was 100 feet of rope and five 55 gallon drums. The challenge was to get all 4 members of the team across the ditch without getting wet.
We failed. Another member of the team was designated the leader to the next challenge. Every time we failed, our DI was yell how we were disgracing him with the other DI's because we were so inept. We failed every challenge and we felt like total crap for failing and the DI let us know we were total crap.
It wasn't until graduation that we were told that no one had ever completed any of the challenges on the Speed March Reaction Course because it was designed to be impossible to succeed. It's purpose was to determine how aggressive each team leader was in trying to complete the impossible.
It was a lesson I've never forgotten. No matter what obstacles I faced in the future, I was driven to never give up solving the problems.
While I served in the Marine Corps as an infantry officer for 21 years with 3 years in combat, I never felt there was a time where I would have to give up. I was given what I felt were impossible assignments and completed them, two with the highest non-combat awards for superior service.
I arrived at OCS, Quantico VA as a naive college kid and graduated as a confident Marine that served me well in Vietnam 1969 as a Marine platoon commander.
Marine OCS and Boot Camp today are more difficult than when I went through in 1967 which is the way it should be because combat is more challenging that any training you will ever receive and the more intense the training, the better your chances of survival will be in combat, but no amount of training with being in the wrong place at the wrong time will save you. It's just how war is. Bullets don't care how well trained your are.
I'm not a fan of females being in combat units, but Israel has made it work so there is hope that our services will find a way to make it work as well.
My younger brother graduated from basic just four days ago. He was a distinguished graduate as he achieved the high shooter award. Best score out of 340+ new Marines. I can't express the overwhelming pride that overtook me to see him in his newfound confidence and strength. I personally was getting ready to ship off to the Navy about four years ago but family issues persuaded me to drop out before going to basic. However I'm consumed with the thought of following in my younger brother's footsteps and my male cousins into the Semper Fi legacy.
I hope you'll achieve your goal ,also congratulations for your brother
Yess follow your heart ✊😌
The fact that most of these girls have sacrificed 4 years of their early adult lives to serve our country, no matter the politics of it all, is amazing. We should be more than proud that they’ve endured all of this for 4 years if not more! i personally couldn’t last 5 minutes! Thank you marines (and all military) for the sacrifice you’ve made, the time you have given this country, the life you set aside to do this and the blood sweat and tears the military cost you. Thank you for paying a price you didn’t have to pay. Thank you for the goodbyes you didn’t have to say. I hope that if nothing else, you always feel appreciated. God bless you.
They could serve in a different role where they could actually offer something to their country.
@@NickAlpha_ What a ignorant comment
TOTAL RESPECT.
Especially for the female instructors which have everything:
DISCIPLINE, PHYSICAL BEAUTY, COURAGE...
My husband is a former recon Marine, 2000-2007. He said that technically some of the best marksmen and sharpshooters he encountered in the Corps were women. Of course this was on a range and not in combat. Do women possess the fortitude to kill or does our maternal biology prevent us from being effective in combat? My husband argues that even his fellow Marines with wives and kids seemed less willing to jump the gun, hesitated and got themselves hurt or killed because their heads were elsewhere. I think all humans have the fortitude to navigate the rage of war and tap into their most primal instincts, I've seen women who were/are Marine Corps material. I'm sure amongst this bunch there are warriors.
Mollydollyyyy Women in general tend to be better than men in marksmanship, they have a steadier hand.
Yeah but the true question is do they have a steadier hand when they're close to death and destruction?
the marines did a study a couple years ago. the female marines could not could keep up with the men, and were less accurate with their rifles
Mike Hascats false
rebeccadvnprt85 here is the study, you lying bimbo.... www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2015/09/10/marine-experiment-finds-women-get-injured-more-frequently-shoot-less-accurately-than-men/
Entire family has gone through Parris island.
How was it?
We used to use cigarette butts for ear plugs in the old days, LOL
lol this comment section is rich,
everyone is arguing about what's in their pants!! lmao!!
Nothing but respect for all men and women who serve
Getting a chance to be the “casualty” was much coveted as it allowed for the sweetest rest, even if just for a couple of minutes 😂
I think the defensive guys in these comments are directing their spite at the female marines literally dying for our freedom rather than the people who direct the Marine Corps. If you have a problem with the quota for women, take it up to them, instead of being butt hurt and attacking female marines. If anything, female sergeants are way stricter than male sergeants. Female marines have to measure up and are expected to surpass their male counterparts in terms discipline and respect. You can say whatever you want, it’s your freedom of speech. Just try not to look like a complete jack off in the comments.
Freedom of speech in the military?Interesting
Yeah, they're really going out in combat roles...
Retired 0369MSgt here (1964-85). I really enjoyed watching these Marine Recruits and their Drill Instructors. Why? Because I remember how it was before anyone of them were born. My point is our Marine Corps has come a damn long way since I trained women Marines at NCO School and OCS at Quantico (1976-77). As a 0369 with 14 years in the Fleet I saw these changes coming, and I encourage most of it. After Nam, I encouraged more Close Combat training. Our 8 hours back then was ok until we hit the sh+t in Nam and it went bayonets, E-Tools, helmets, rocks, etc. We have to fight to survive!! I still carry a 3 inch surprise today. I love the Marine Corps infantry! Our female battle buddies roll with "hard ankles" today in combat. We go out as One, we return as One. No one is left behind. This video shows how that "accordion formation" has to stay closed up. I would challenge any key pad pounders talking bs to get on the "mat" with any of these hard chargers. In 1970, I met a WM with a Vietnam Service ribbon. One of my SSgt on Recruiting had a daughter who rolled with the Seals in Iraq. Her "favorite weapon" was a SAW. Semper Fidelis Marines!
I leave Sunday
Good luck! How long will you serve for
hopefully 20, I leave tomorrow. see ya guys
3 things you should know. 1) Be in shape 2) never be the first in line for anything and 3) despite the obvious physical aspects, basic is really a mind game.
Don't count on it. The US federal government is bankrupt ($20 trillion in debt). $10 trillion of that was added by Obama.
last time i heard it was $17 trillion
+Nyi Tasha best of luck
i wana join now but i srsly would rather stay at home eating doritos ,god im lazy XDDDDD
They tried this in Australia but I beleive it was scrapped after only 15 girls passed the infantry training out of an original 150.
Azz Laird this isn’t infantry boot camp it’s regular boot camp. These girls will go on to serve in a wide variety of MOS’s. My daughter is in now and she is doing this but will be a paralegal.
These women are about 10000% tougher than the girls I saw in Navy boot camp. lol
Cause marines are in general trained for more difficult things than the navy
I met a USMC female veteran who did 3 tours in Iraq, if I had to fight with anyone I would choose her over many so called men. She had a good spirit de corps and the spirit of a lion. Genders neutral in warfare It's the fighting spirit that counts.
Gender may be neutral? WTF are you talking about? Biological sex is not neutral, men cannot bleed 90 days out of the year & survive, gestate a baby using their body as a resource or, give birth. Pretending like men & women can ever be equal biologically is retarded.
THANK YOU
I don’t see too many woman with that fighting spirit.It’s one of the few things you notice before you even hit puberty,what do you mean?
Do you know many guys I saw who were held back for being to out of shape or not being able to swim? We're just as much a marine as anyone else. Also, before you rag on us, don't say that "I support our troops". That's only a slogan so join up and prove it!
Lots of love !!!! 👍 well done make your family proud .
Oh it's a miracle you're all healed, killed me
I died when I heard this too 😆😆😆
why are their training videos far more entertaining than all the other branches?
Damn, I used iron sights on the range. Times have improved.
i met the drill instrustor at 1:00 on a field trip to parris island lol he was a very..... "Motivating" DI
this will be my in the future! i promise ✊👍
Im kind of an old school brat and I dont want to have to have our women serving in front line combat. However, if the really want this and the are in 100% I couldnt stop anyone from wanting to serve their country. I WOULDNT want to. I hope then that the women give em hell.
I love Marines
The irony is, the advert that came up was an ad for Royal marine commandos.
Some recruits are firing M16s while others have M4 carbines. How is this determined? Are the weapons issued at random at the start of training? I cannot picture the recruits being allowed to select the type of rifle they wish to carry. .
it depends on if you’re smaller or larger as a human. In bc they gave us average size girls m16s while m4s were given to the smaller girls🙂
Lmao...looking at the comments posted, typical remarks from some males...I put it to those who have stated such comments, I bet these women could run twice the distance you could, their endurance, stamina etc will be stronger than yours...Of those that have commented in a typical draconian fashion, how many have actually served in the forces, or are just closet mama goons who like to play Ps4 games, and brag about how tough they are if people were to attack, and be in the first to run back to mama when the fighting got tough...Least these women are up their for their country, so you all can live and play your Ps4 consoles in peace...Give them a break. For the record, i am UK and have served my time in the Armed Forces.
I love the royal marines mud pit
Looking back to the IST, do you have any idea how many of the guys failed it because they were out of shape...and later how many of them couldn't swim well enough (or at all)? We were way outnumbered but by percentage we blew them away.
Uhh, I actually play the PC because I'm not a peasant, thanks.
explain why women have easier PT standards, SJW
Mysteries At Lochness you are a gay SJW
I think that the fitness standard for women was fine. Obviously women aren't built like them, so you make the standards according to their body. But now that women can be in combat roles, I think future females should have to meet the males' standards. And I'm planning on enlisting in the Corps.
M P you...are not smart. the women in combat MOS didn’t have their standards lowered. They had to do everything the men do. This video is older and is of what boot looks like.
They're probably gonna drop out if they go against the men strands then let them go join the navy seals they probably wouldn't make to the first hour
In my country the Netherlands the standards are the same for male and female
I agree completely, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with females in combat positions if they can do the same thing. Yes, we are built differently but we still need to be able to do the same things if we are going to get in to those situations. I’m planning on enlisting in a couple years.
Equal representation should mean equal risks:
In Operation Iraqi Freedom, for *women* the death rate was 14.5% ( *103* ) deaths vs *men* at 12.0% ( *4226* ).
In Operation Enduring Freedom, for *women* the death rate was 35.9% ( *19* ) deaths vs *men* at 17.0% ( *793* ).
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21390560/
What I am curious to know, is given that a typical bergen (or pack you might call it in the USA) weighs about 60lbs then you add to that a rifle and ammunition and you're talking almost a typical females bodyweight in gear alone. More for specialised roles. How does that work exactly? Does anyone have a serious answer? I cant see how anyone could be expected to march long distance, let alone run about in combat with their own bodyweight equivalent on their person, it would be impossible, surely?
The question is, does it work? In this context.
the ruck they carry puts the majority of the weight on the back. while it is heavy and females have less upper body strength, their legs can for the most part still carry the weight. every female marine must go through the crucible which includes a 9 mile hike with about 100 pounds of equipment to carry
Good for these women! Go!
Although it is true that the strongest female will never be as strong as the strongest male. it does not mean that a female who’s fit and has the motivation, determination, and dedication can’t thrive and go above and beyond her male counterparts, unless every male marine who can pass the basic levels of fitness are automatically superior. Yes I get that the fitness standards are different but any self respecting women should strive to, and exceed the “basic” standards of the male cadets. In the videos I’ve seen of female recruits I am appalled at the lack of motivation of the female recruits and the drill instructors... change this shit
Outstanding
Great
5:30 That has to be the first time - of all the military videos I've watched - where a modern US soldier/Marine actually used the slits in the helmet cover. Fucking finally.
What are the requirements to be in the military? I know you have to be fit but what else?
Sofiya Bae anyone entering any of the 5 branches of the military will all have to go through meps which does a full physical head to toe and goes over your medical history. almost everybody who is honest about their medical history will need a couple waivers flr past injuries and illnesses which are not difficult to get but more serious injuries or history of psychological problems can take much longer to get waivers for and some branches differ on what is and isn't waiverable (for example self harm is waiverable in the army, navy and marine corps but it is non-waiverable in the air force and coast guard) after meps each branch has their own physical standards for men and women to meet in order to go to boot camp. for the Marines it is a mile and a half run in 12:30 for males or 13:30 for females, 55 crunches and either 3 pull-ups or 45 pushups for males and 1 pull-up or 20 pushups for females. you'd have to speak to a recruiter from each branch to get more details.
When they reduced the amount of PT required so that "women do the same as men" did it reduce effectiveness as well? I'm afraid so
You are very uneducated
How many breaks did they take
Ahhh memories. Looks like it hasn't changed since I went through in 01.Good Luck
chunky9791 how was your experience? I'm thinking about joining soon
Soon 😭☺️ The Moment I turn 17 im Gonna get ma GED And Enlist in Usmc I love the adriline And I Just Love Everything About it Been interested in Shooting since I was a little girl This would change ma life for the better 💯
30" to the left...together... the mold still works...
Random question, why do the men in the marines have to shave their heads in before boot camp but the women don't?
Can adian another double standard that allows women an easier passage to become a Marine. If they really wanted equal rights they would shave their heads. Of course they won’t...
I dont see how not shaving your head makes everything easier...
The point of the men shaving their heads is so that everyone looks the same. Females usually have longer hair so everyone has to wear buns to meet up to standards. Shaved heads are a uniform thing. So are the buns.
If anything, shaving the head is MUCH EASIER to maintain than a hairstyle.
Ashley John so then....why not just shave your head?
Mi Miixed lol what?
sssttaaaaaauuuuuppp!!! Sir Stop! Aye! Aye! Sir! EYEBALLS! Click Sir! EARS! Open Sir!! Hippity Hop Stop MOB!! Just reminiscing. Go Jarheads!
I leave for MCRD PI next week.
Remember to shake the hand of your DI when you see them every time, they liked being touched
better get use to eating in 30 seconds, waking up at 5, fire watch and boredom will be your # 1 enemy
I leave January 29
I hope you did well at Bootcamp Rosanna! Oohrah!
I didn't know they use scopes at the range now.
DeanLewis28 it's an acog SIGHT not scope. Scopes are different
women, the beautiful of this planet
18:40: xD xD xD loloololool
Aaaah ssgt hoover❤️
No disrespect, but for equality shouldn't women get their heads shaved as well?
Serious question, what makes them from doing so?
Because their training is actually different in some aspects.
Dylanceck it’s another double standard for women. It’s why male marines don’t respect female marines. They have it easier. Plain and simple.
Jonny MIA shaved heads are seen as “fashionable” or something like that so that’s why they aren’t allowed to shave their heads
Faith I thought it was uniformity or giving up individuality or something like that
GI Jane, that's where its at😂
@@jmusmc85 I don't want to shave my head but i have to cause I am a male. Females want to serve their country but cant sacrifice their hair bullshit.
I think im in love!!!
What ever happened to “speed and intensity” and how about yelling? That last part of the crucible I don’t think i ever spoke and soft as these recruits and I don’t think I ever moved that slow. It looks like there walking in the park. Also thank you for your service.
About 6 minutes in and I can tell you maybe 1-5 or them have a slim chance of getting combat rolls drinetly not front lines though
No comment :)
Deputy Dungeon
ACOG's in bootcamp hah, who the hell is making these policies. Also.. why are some shooting with a collapsible stock???
Where are these people now are they all still in military???
💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.
As much as I love watching this, it seems the chinese and even the Thai women have them beat. They go through much more, but they don't have the "Murican Spirit" 😏
Big red 1
Maybe in my next life I can join. :-( I had major anxiety when I was a teenager. There was no way I would have handled this. Now that I feel like mentally I could, I'm too old to join. :-(
Yeah I have mental disabilities I would never be able to do this. I wish that I could join the military but even if I didn't have these disabilities then I would join, but I'm too old now too. Like you said...maybe in the next life.
And then there is me joining because I want to despite having major depression and anxiety. This will either make me stronger or worse I’m taking the risk here.
@@lovewillsetyoufree it would be better if u think right and stop being negative like your description "just a loser on the internet"
I think it’s just the editing but this video is just so awkward and hard to watch
East Coast Marines talk about "sand fleas" and I'm all like. "Dude, you went where the females go"
The training methods of the USMC are just bizarre. How many times a day do recruits robotically shout out 'aye, aye sir!' and 'yes, sir!' ?
The UK Royal Marines produce a far superior Marine without the drama and from instructors who don't try to be smartasses.
Check out 'Commando on the front line', particularly episode 1.
I don't think I saw one trainee or one instructor smile in the whole video. Training is meant to be fun as well as hard. The weapon handling seemed good and firing positions fine also the rifle 'hold' and shot release during firing seemed confident. However there seemed to be no competition between recruits in what they did? I don't know but, feel that the whole events were toned down? maybe so, maybe not? I only know that as a male recruit (British Infantry) we went ' Hell for leather' and were pushed to the very ultimate limit, and were certainly better soldiers for it. I enjoyed this video and only wish I was that age again so I could do it all again: definitely! but not as a female of course:)
Smiling in USMC bootcamp is the quickest way to get thrashed 🤣
Ah man at least they still had their hair 😭

How was your experience? I always wanted to join but couldn't because I have multiple disabilities. I admire anyone that goes through the military.

This is recruit training were people transform into Marines, which you will never become
A Marine is a Marine. Stop being sexist.
The only thing different with men and women are our private parts. We both have breasts. We both have brains. We both have blood. We both have the same feelings. Other than that, no I don't see anything different. I don't care what or who you are. As long as you serve with pride, I respect you.aattitude
Who gives a shit? I could have fucking lung cancer yet still run a mile or above if I damn fucking wanted. So... stop being a sexist.aattitude
aattitude And you should never join the military and if you did I feel sad for the people you worked with. You're such a sexist. Idc if its your opinion, your opinion is a disgrace
If there is any females that have any questions please let me know!!!
S t u d y y y do you recommend being physically fit before contacting a recruiter?
Nesa La Coneja hey girl! No definitely not. You can attend poolee functions that are usually some type of physical activity. Your recruiter will help guide you to get on track. It’s nice to have people encourage you! I would go in to help other boys/girls get in shape, one lost 80lbs! It’s nice to not do it alone!
Is there anyway to retake your pft if you fail the first time?
what are some tips or pointers u would have while being in training?
never run with your weapon pointed at ground run with it up and pointed at where your eyes are at least looking if ya go into pron position where is that firearm pointed lol not at the ground i better shut up lol
Seems to lack the urgency the men have...
not all females are like that
Marines
The day a draft happens I’m kinda into the idea of woman being in it mainly because most of them wouldn’t even get past the first week of basic, yet again I doubt a draft will ever happen
This was my crucible. My platoon, my sisters, and my Marines. Ooo fucking RAH.
Heather Snader thank you for your service
🙉🙈🙊🙉🙈🙊👁️🇺🇸🇲🇽🇺🇸🇲🇽🇺🇸🇲🇽
Pull your feet at 11:55.
my service was a long time ago but the most beautiful women going training next to us were the usmc women hats off to you then do not know about now seems like they pussyed it some mostly for the men
This looks like an experiment more than training. I still give females props if they want to join the military.
This amount of "screaming, sorry... instructing" is just fucking unnecessary. I have never understood USMC training methods/rituals. It's like: "Follow orders, follow orders!!!" Well that is all well, if you have a competent CO (backed by good NCO's), meaning: competent leaders are people to be taken serious. But don't you want a soldier thinking for themselves? A certain amount of drill is always important and necessary for a soldier. But the USMC overdoes it hardcore in basic training.
Remember these are going to be lowest of the low enlisted people 'read' bullet catchers. They are supposed to be automatons. The E-5 above become more of a junior leader and get special training where they have already been weaned off being an automaton but an NCO well always be Enlisted no matter how much the E-9 swears he is above the 1st lieutenant. Enlisted are like garbage men, Officers are the brains behind it all. Anyone can pull a trigger and take a bullet, not everyone can structure a training schedule, logistics chain etc.
I think the Marine Corps knows a bit more about training Marines than you do.
No doubt you are right, and although I respect Marines and the discipline and corps d'esprit they develop and espouse, I must say that the overbearing screaming in training is ineffectual and has been detrimental for the USMC. Bottom line is that for the most part, U.S ARMY Officers are just more professional and better trained at the USMA; especially when it comes to ground warfare, techniques, training and leadership. The Marines have been known to have incompetent leadership at the top, which was manifest in the Marines slow advance to Baghdad in the Iraq War, and their lack of proper protocol, which unnecessarily reignited conflict in Fallujah, which then required ARMY Infantry units coming back in to correct the folly incurred. I'm not going to blame the average fighting Marine, but there is no compensation to be had for weak or incompetent leadership.
Ca Mo you know this because you're an officer? Or enlisted? Probably not, because if you were enlisted youd know that a great deal of mentorship are given to officers just checking into the fleet. You fucking moron! Go back to sleep and dont wake up!
Now everyone can be an underpaid bullet sponge for corporate America. Lol.
Holey roller
i stated that women are not as strong as men. foxtrot alpha deleted my comment
I leave October 9th 🙃 fml. It will all be worth it though.
How was it?
how did it go? any tips, pointers?
Who 'll go to afghanistan
I think no one😉😉
I can tell most of the gear is meant for men it looks funky on them. They should really start making more female stuff tbh
16:15 the fucking cringe
