Marines Swim to Survive
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 кві 2013
- Marines are amphibious by nature, and at the Marine Corps Water Survival School, they are taught how to master the water, instead of being taken by it. Pfc. John Tucker takes us to Camp Johnson, North Carolina, where Marines attend the rigorous three-week course to become Instructors of Water Survival.

50 degree teperatures
me during swim class when ice is forming at the corners of the pool but my coach says its 80
shit the water must be very hot then
What are you a fucking Eskimo?
Damn
Letian Wang why would ice form at 50 degrees
Biscuit Matthew cuz it’s the internet and he’s probably making shit up
Yes. Both Parris Island and Recruit Depot San Diego have a staff of Marine Corps Instructors of Water Survival to teach recruits who don't know how to swim the fundamentals of water survival.
Semper Fi,
Pfc. T
Marines thank GOD
Good luck you fucking boot. Your fucking lucky, I had to learn the hard way😂. I was an iron duck and shit my pants till someone helped me. Oorah SemperFi 🤘🇺🇸💪🦅🤜🤛
Marines needs a joint special operation command unit oorah semper fi long live us marine corps
bluegrassmagnolia superhulk ... they have one don’t they? Isn’t MARSOC the Marine’s entry into JSOC?
Agm Smith they are I believe
I went into the final drill for the top combat swim qualification (1) absolutely exhausted. When I submerged my instructor bear hugged me from behind so tightly I could hardly hold my breathe, let alone go through the motions. I ended up tapping out but he didn't let me go. I tapped out again...harder. I panicked. What I thought was going to be a drill, instead, in my mind, turned out to be a real life or death situation. I remember fading out and then hearing a loud "crack"! inside my head- like a firecracker- and that was it. I was out. Unconscious. The next thing I remember; I'm on my back on the deck of the pool. My swim instructors and senior drill instructor were looking down at me laughing. One of them said, "congratulations. you passed". Of the 500 or so recruits with Lima company at that time, only two of us had qualified at that level. I graduated as "guide" in May of 1999. I had a perfect PFT (300) and Expert rifle qualification on the range. My first year in the USMC was all training. Long before I even had a chance to really get started in the USMC, my life had changed forever. It was a truly transformative and even spiritual experience. It was powerful, to say the least.
Hunter G congratulation man.. you should be proud of yourself.. thats a hardcore skill man.. very very useful.. listen man,
im no good swimmer, but i have to learn how to save someone from drowning without using any floating tool.. because to me in a real life situation.. that thing wont be arround me.. i might have to rely on my swimming method/skill.. i have searched on you tube on how to save someone from drowning.. but all i can see is they are using some lifeguard buoy.. honestly i dont think that buoy gonna be with me when i need it.. so, if you dont mind.. can you share me some tips on how to save a drowning person without any help from buoy, what is the most efficient swim method that i have to use to save someone.. could you share it to me.. i have to know.. im worried someone i love might die from drowning and i cant do shit about it.. i need to be ready
Hunter G Damn man your drill instructor must have 10 layers of muscle on him
Maybe I'm not understanding, so the goal was to pass out?

Either way there are instructors poolside in case something goes wrong. If you tell them you don't know how to swim or you're not a strong swimmer they might pay more attention to you. If you're skeptical of your skills then you should get into the pool before going to bootcamp just in case.
If you don't know how I'm pretty sure you won't get as far as boot camp.
@@PottersVideos2 I dont know man, I heard a lot of people go in never being in a pool once in their life.
You can make because I didn’t know they’ll teach you and that’s recon I think basic swim qual isn’t that
This week was the hardest for me when I was at MCRD San Diego. Because of my particular upbringing(poor inner city), I had little to no experience swimming before going to boot camp. The most I could do was a simple dog paddle and the back stroke. Not being politically correct me along with majority dark green recruits struggled with swim week because most of us came from similar backgrounds. Knowing what I know now, I’d heavily advise recruiters if they haven’t already done so to introduce delayed entry program poolees to their nearest pool to help those potential recruits learn the basics well before they arrive at one of the two MCRDs.
Back when I was in boot camp at Parris Island in 1964, we spent one day at the pool and all we had to do was bob around with our head above water. They were looking for warm bodies to trudge the jungle trails in Vietnam. Didn't give a shit if we could swim or how far.
@@Dr.Pepper001 Good old usa
Thats probably the hardest course at that base :D

Navy Seal: “Bunch of Rookies”
Marines been fighting longer than the seals technically seals are the sons of the usmc
@@cristobalalvarez5491 SEALs are better in water. I think that's what he was trying to say.
Xeno No shit they are fucken special ops, Marine Recon v Navy seal or Marine Raiders v Navy seals
Comparing special op to a marine is like comparing a soldier to a police.
The Navy Seals get way better diving equipment that's the only thing that make them better swimmers
Wait a second, did I hear this correctly...they simulate drowning?
That’s what I’m sacred about
Oh shit
well... not exactly simulate.
Did rescue diver training years after I left the active duty Marine Corps, even without the added service requirements it was the most challenging class I've taken.
I did an Ocean Rescue Diver class a year after MCIWS. (Still in the Corps at the time) - Already had all the skills, cross chest carry, under water navigation, you name it. - So easy.
That is what MCIWS did. Everything was EASY!
Even now 30 years later... (and overweight)
Damn, here’s me who barely passed swim qual
that is not going to be fun
howd it go
howd it go?
howd it go?
So, howd it go?
Howd it go?
My biggest fear is drowning and I really want to be a Marine. I can't swim at all.
join the police force instead
You'll be fine. It doesn't matter what you fear or can't do right now
@@spoderman8414 he should join the police force instead lol
Enrique Mayle I know a marine that could not swim but he learnt there
I couldn't swim but i learned the basics there. Out of 500 people in our Company we probably had like 2 or 3 dropped back to another company for failing. They also gave us 3 tries. You'll be fine
I did this I was one of the first women that went Squadron Recon VFMA 211 Wake Island Avengers. We had to be able to float for 6 hours... I can do eight like nothing, even napped a bit. If you were likely to do carrier duty it was required. Some of us flight captains get blown over the side and they have to loop back. Unfortunately it is not like turning your bass boat around. Not always easy to figure what way ya blew over too.
When I was at USMCRD San Diego (1966) we had to pass a water survival course called drown proofing. It was only a day, as I remember, but it was rigorous. The idea was to tread water keeping your head in the water so you wouldn't become exhausted trying to keep your head out of the water. Not pleasant, but an important skill. Sounds like the new water survival test is longer and more intensive.
God Bless the USMC, thank you very much.
Being a department of the Navy, you'd think the training for this would provide better techniques in regards to 'water rescue'. In the SWCC/SEALs videos I've watched, they didn't drag the 'victim' through the water by their wrist. Just sayin'.
There are several methods. - Wrist is one... if there is floatation available to keep the head up above water.
Did the Combat Water Safety Swimmer course back in 2002 that was a kick in the balls I can only imagine having to do MCIWS.
Brings back memories (good and bad) from boot camp then reconnaissance training!
Semper Fi brothers swimming may save your butts one day!👍🏽
Semper Fi 🇺🇸
you definitely need to know how to swim prior to attending MCIWS. They have an indoc prior to you actually attending the course, and if you fail the indoc (which is kinda like a try out) then they drop you. The drop rate for this course is very significant.
Taylor Barnes
this is crazy, if you've guys swimmed in full camoflauge uniform it increases your drag a ton. And they're doing it with vests, boots, training aid, and a helmet on. respect to the us marines
Damn it I need training.
I can't wait to join
The twenty mile force march with full gear from the base of Mt Fuji to the top base to me was the toughest. The swim wasn’t easy but easy by comparison. 1969 3rdMarIneDiv
MCIWS and basic swim qual are on two entirely different levels of difficulty.
i heard swim qual wasnt even a week
You can continue if you choose to do so, many Marines spend a majority of their lives serving in the Marine Corps.
I never went for swim instructor but I did get certified open water lifeguard after boot camp. To this day, 28 years later at the age of 52 I still have a 12"x12" concrete paver next to my pool at home I will swim across the pool above my head to keep up my my skills. I also still practice the hands and feet tied drills also. I just don't go in when it's so cold anymore. :)
My daughter is 8 and she swims a toy like that across the pool to practice swimming without hands. She was swimming at 18 months. Hopefully she'll be a third gen Marine in 10 more years or an 0-1 in 14.
Get some!
When I finished MCIWS (in the 90s), we were awarded Lifeguard Training certificates.
Open water Lifeguard is no joke!
Well done!
I went through this and graduated as a WSI stationed at Parris Island S.C. except I do not see the Bricks we trained with
RIGHT!!!!
Carry them with both hands above your head!
I became a MCIWS right as WSI was ending.
As an MCIWS and MCITWS, I can tell you water survival training is an exercise in controlled drowning.
2:40 bloop
@sam, aight thank you for the info
im so scared, i know how to swim im just afraid of putting my head underwater and im very scared for those 2 weeks, and was at a MEPS center yesterday and passed, but im truly frightened
Well did you go?
Ahh... the Swim Tank!
I was wondering if you have to retire from the corps after four years, or can you continue your career?
you can continue your career
If you dont know hlw to swim will they teach you?
glitcherPROXx yes
They will teach you but itll be fast paced and if you dont get it by a certain tkme you might get rolled back im not sure
Lol water polo would help me with this course used to swimming a couple miles a day over summer I usually end up swimming 7 or 8 miles over the two practices a day
Get some!
MCIWS 1994-2000
1. Simulated drowning - nah - not really simulated. Definitely drowning!
2. Cold - yep - we never had the wetsuits or the cap. Just the goggles.
3. Rescuing in the ocean was the best and hardest. And longest. 500 meter rescues - Drank LOTS of salt water.
4. Locating "lost Marines" at night - in the boat basin - with chemsticks - Nasty stuff. (Do you have ANY idea what is 30' under water in a military boat basin???)
5. Always love getting choked out as a "panicked" Marine comes from behind and jumps on and strangles you - in deep water. Suck - Tuck - and Duck - baby!
6. Jumping off of 15 meter platforms with feet tied and hands tied behind your back - only for you to belly flop from 45' - really helps you learn how to control fear.
7. It is MCIW "Survival" for a reason. - Teaching Marines combat essentials floating on and shooting from a properly waterproofed pack, while on an amphibious assault never felt so good!
Semper Fi, Leathernecks!
Yeah. I should probably learn to swim before I try this.
These are recon marines not fucking regular ass boots lmfao
XxSiLvAxXx i thought these were marines trying to be swim instructors at boot camp
50 degrees . Damn that hot . I swim in ice
I'm ready
The Marines taught me how to swim, and I have confidence while in the water I never would have otherwise. I almost feel obligated to become a lifeguard.....or a janitor 😂
I'm terrible st swimming I could fo everything but swimming

I kinda want to join the Marines but I have asthma and I feel like it's going to effect me in water. Can you reply to me Marines and tell me some tips?
I could be wrong but I dont think you can join the Marine Corps let alone any of the branches of the military if you have asthma, unless you lie about it. You definitely wont be able to if you need an inhaler.
@@bustymotel1514 oh shit really
@@bustymotel1514 I have a question tho. What if I have asthma and I don't need my inhaler?
Captain John Price If you don’t need your inhaler & it’s not a big problem I would just lie about it when you get to MEPS. If it does hinder you in any way tho I wouldn’t lie because you’ll probably get in some trouble if you have an asthma attack during boot camp & you didn’t tell them you had it.
@@bustymotel1514 wow I really wanted to join the army at 3 yo now I can't go because my stupid asthma 😭
USM"
Marines!
Marines✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊
I want to join the Marines crop in that stuff look fun to me
They will
seems hard to wear that suit
Welp good thing I love swimming
Toughest branch beside the seal is the marines
SEALs aren't a branch
Seals are navy special forces
Due process.
My dream is to become a United States Marine but unfortunately I lack the inability to swim. I didn't care and I signed 5 years away to USMC . Semper Fidelis from a future 2020 Marine.
Good Luck! You'll do great and thank you for your service!
I don’t even know how to swim

Do would be accepted.
“Advanced lifesaving techniques.” 16 year old lifeguards learned that backboard in 3 days.
Don't join the marines if u can't swim...
Is it even possible to become a marine without knowing how to swim?
Yeah
No, you have to pass swim qual. You dont have to be michael phelps, but you have to at least be able to float in water and jump from a 10 ft board
@@ProGamerKid2000 idk why I told him yeah ima guess I was half asleep when I said that
Try Scottish waters
Hmm think again that 50degrees is cold
idk how to swim, and i have thalassophobia ^-^
They train you to face your fears, that’s for sure. I’ve seen countless videos of people scared of heights, and had to climb tall ropes.
Они по налоговой "Черкассы"!Марина !
Only reason I would t join marines is cause of water
