I am a Untied States Marine with cancer due to the Camp LeJeune Water Contamination. The Dept. of the Navy and the D.O.J. are doing seemingly nothing to MAKE US WHOLE for our years of dedication, sacrifice, pain and suffering. If you and ALL the American public truly want to thank us for our service, please contact the Media to request, no demand they conduct an investigation and a national story/stories to expose this betrayal by our government to our Marines. Of how they knowingly and willingly allowed us to be poisoned by the Water at Camp LeJeune from 1953 to 1987. Of how our Marines affected by this Contaminated Water are dying more and more each and every day. Create a public outcry to MAKE US WHOLE IMMEDIATELY!!! There is much more to this than just that you see from law firms seeking clients. The government is not telling the public the full reality of this situation.
Being a Marine for 38 years of my life was a true honor these men that are a part of a elite group of Marines puts icing on the cake for me I am now 65 years old I was 17 years old when I enlisted in 1975 0311 retired 1stSgt I must say no regrets I served with the best men and women God ever put on this earth.

No. the one who gets the goosebumps is in Koma, cause these are poor boys, drilled to denie there own life, drilled to kill, drilled to be a robot on demand, drilled to forget themselves
This is the very best formation of drilling Marines and have ever seen. I’ve watched many different platoons going through their silent drill routines but this is the most intricate of them all. Well done Marines and Semper Fi Brothers. ❤️🇺🇸
So extremely proud of our American Marine Corps. This drill team is Simply Fantastic and very Classy. May God Bless each and everyone of these American Heros, their families and their entire Brother & Sister in uniform, the past, the present and the future
Yes, they are all grunts between 6’1-6’3 selected right out of SOI, this is a two year billet ranging from the marching 24 to inspection team to inspector. I told one former member once, a coach teaching individual Marines grunt stuff preparing them before going off to Afghanistan. The only move I get crazy about as in how do you do it because I know that M-1 is heavy at 9.5 pounds how the inspector throws that rifle back to the first marine he inspects and how does he catch it. Imagine a 9 and a half pound bar being thrown at you flipping and you have to catch it and not hyper extend your arm. That coach told me, you just do it.
Oh, a Diego Marine (issued Sunglasses and suntan lotion in Boot Camp)! LOL Parris Island myself. Had to bury a sand flea because I killed it. My DI had me bury it then, dig until he thought that I had found it again, then bury it again. I spent hours out there in that nasty, sticky, hot swamp air. Meanwhile the remainder of my platoon was inside shining their boots and brass. Oh, what fond memories!!!! Semper Fi Brother
former Army 11b , 86-90. Oddly enough I loved the drill n ceremonies stuff as long as it wasn't standing in formation for 4plus hours. You guys must have a drill "story" that plays in everyone's head to stay in synch like that. I had drill sergeants and squad/platoon sergeants that could belt out the cadences like nobody's business but to do it without...that's 10/10.
@@sharkymcshizzle7372 Great reply, brother! You are so on point about standing around and waiting!😂😂 I take my family and now my grandchildren, to 8th & I every year to watch a Friday night parade in the summer. With regards to training, we spent the entire month of February in Arizona at 29 Palms (stumps), Practicing the same routine over and over and over again. When you’re young, it sucks …but looking back, it was such a privilege. God bless and Semper Fi Army! ❤️🇺🇸
I am watching this in the UK,I will just say one word,AMAZING!!so good,I watched it twice,so proud of our Forces Boys as you must,absolutely, be of yours.❤️Chrissy❤️
To @snappers antique firearms the Pfcs (one stripe) and Lance Corporals (one stripe with crossed rifles) are chosen from the top graduates of the infantry training schools from Camp Pendleton and Lejeune. They've only been in a year but can be promoted early based on proficiency and conduct marks. It takes up to two years to make Corporal and four for Sergeant.
As a Canadian I’m jellin hard rn. We don’t have a fighting force that A. Looks this sharp, and B. The mere mention of which strikes a legit fear into the hearts of its enemies, envy among outsiders and a general sense of badassery
That's a lot of moves to remember! I love the sound of those old rifles hitting the deck, and their hands must hurt hitting the stock hard enough to make a loud sound.
Son was at 8th&I. They must take a raw gun stock. Then they finish and polish them for the rifles they use. They drop the stock and leave a blemish, and there goes your weekend. You learn not to drop it! 😂. Son got smart and made 2. The rifle drill is learned by every member, and the inspector just picks someone. The loud slap is caused by jarring the bolt mechanism of the rifle itself (functional). That's a good lick, and they are wearing gloves! They're the kind of guys you'd want in a fight, but not to date your daughter.
My Son was stationed at 8th &I Barracks D.C. I moved nearby to Annapolis for work. I'm a former Marine. These young, most 18-19 are fresh out of boot, taken to CA, then to the Barracks. My Son arrived on Thanksgiving. His platoon Sgt picked up the arrivals and treated them to his home and dinner. I'd visit the Barracks, and from a Marine viewpoint, my Corps was very alive in each of these Marines. Semper Fi
One thing to consider is the level of close order drill instruction Marines get right at the beginning in boot camp. If you watch a graduation parade of marines they are amazingly sharp and coordinated.
Former Marine and Father of 8th&I Marine. Actually, they have to unlearn much of it. Their cadence is different. The way they step is different. The Marines you saw graduate are sharp as razors, but also unencumbered with anything sans their uniform. Th 8th&I Marines are wearing dress blues (5 sets that the Marine pay for) are modified (again, they pay for) to allow certain movements. Once they depart, the uniforms are unsat and can not be worn except for burial. The functional rifles weigh 10 1/2 lbs, and their steps still just glide.
I am a Navy veteran and retired Army 1SG. When I arrived at San Diego Recruit Training Command, there was a Senior Chief waiting for me when everyone got off the bus. He asked if I wanted to be in a drill company. After explaining the advantages of doing so (they did parades, football games, baseball games, etc., I said yes. I was made the “crack rifle RCPO”. I loved being in front of the crowd doing just this right here. But, once in the Army…we did more retirement and pass and reviews than was humanly possible. Standing at parade rest and attention wears you out.
There's another video of these at a us football game where one loses his hat and the officer(?) picks it up in timing and delivers it back, i love his expression.
God bless him and good will and following speed they do there duty above and beyond always and if anyone does not know the silent drill is what I have been told I'd a sign of beyond respect in the highest degree
I always love watching the Marine Corps silent drill teams. As a former Marine I only got to watch them once when I was stationed at Camp LeJuene, NC. The part when the Marine lost his cover is considered a violation, it is a part of the recovery process & practiced to keep the platoon in cadence. Also notice that the bayonet is always removed before passing the rifle to the platoon commander. And take a close look at the Marine who gives up his rifle always gets it back through a several of complicated maneuvers. The Army can not compare to the Marine Corps in the silent drill team. The Army uses a vocal cadence for their drill team that in my humble opinion is completely unnecessary. Also, the silent drill team plans for unforeseen complications while keeping the platoon in cadence. The best way to put the Marine Corps silent drill teams above every one else is their dedication to duty & silent timing through counting & slaps against their rifles along with the rifles hitting the ground.
The Marines are the finest group of professionals. As a retired Navy Chief that was blessed to have the opportunity to be a Shipmate for our Sailors and Marines my heart will always have a special spot for them. God bless them and their families.
The marines are the most unprofessional losers on the planet. Their families should be ashamed of them.
This never gets old.
God bless the U.S. Marine Corps.
My son is currently serving as a third consecutive generation Marine.

And you are STILL a Marine......for life.
It was hard for me to see my son join before he graduated from High School during war time.
IF THAT DOESN'T GIVE YOU GOOSEBUMPS, YOUR IN A COMA
I had to watch it at 2x, otherwise felt like I was in a coma. Try it! Double the awesome

When you look at the lower enlisted. Its amazing that they most likely have only been in the Marines a year maybe 2

I can appreciate the dedication of these Marines!!!
I Remember Drill On the hot field in San Diego, Lots of concertation is involved. But this Platoon is the best yet. I love my Marine Corps.......
