- The USMC came to King High School in Riverside this morning for their performance. It was supposed to be outside in the stadium, but Murphy's Law struck and it rained today.
Still an outstanding performance!
Legend has it the recruiting office was flooded with applicants that very day
Silent Drill Platoon never ever, gets old.
It's crazy that I spent 11 years in the Corps and only got to see these guys perform live once. But it was incredible. I was in the same uniform, but in awe at their precision!
This is what I miss about the Corps. We were inspired by each other. Always.
You had on white trousers?
Hunter Hall
Why would I be wearing white trousers?
Dia Akin.. As an Army Veteran myself. I always enjoy watching all branches of the Military perform. Makes me extremely proud and gives me goosebumps! Correct me if I am wrong. I was informed, in order to be a part of such an amazing group, one of the requirements is- to be a Combat Veterans?
Kelly Mears you do not have to be a combat veteran but they are all infantry Marines.
Ironically this is my high school and I saw this graduated back in 2018, the kicker is I joined the USMC now. Rah Motivators!!!
Hate to see these kids texting while the Marines drill. Military bearing and precision at its finest and some are buried in their phones....pathetic.
Isaiah, I completely agree. Most there were pretty respectful, however. The Kingsman (the HS marching band) played the National Anthem pre-performance, and I didn't see a hat on in the crowd. Something I always look for and call out if there's anyone near me.
But most are not... Ol Sarge...
I wouldn’t be buried in my phone. Before I became a Marine, I’ve always looked up to these guys. Now I look up to my good NCO’s and Staff NCO’s.
Awesome performance they are truly gifted and talented
Crazy perfection as usual....but I noticed the little end looked like they dropped the old 5'10" minimum requirement they had back in '75 when I was in The Corps. What many folks may not know is that most of these Marines are just Lance Corporals which means they've only been in the Corps about 18 months to 2 years so are only about 20 years old...Kids as it was, turned Young Marines
it's still 70 inches sir
Richard Really? The little end looks awfully short to me...
there's a rounding system in the marine corps where if you're 5'9 1/2 you're 5'10 and if you're 5'10 4/10's you're 5'10
Richard Sorry but after viewing this video again and poking round a bit I believe my first impression was/is correct...no way the gents on the little end are anywhere near 5'10" or even 5'9 1/2". I'm 5'11" and they are no taller than 5'7" or possibly 5'8" at best...and the old 5'10" requirement from my days is nowhere to be found on any current official Marine Corps Silent Drill team requirements information...it just says appropriate weight for height. If you have any sources that say 5'10" is still the min. height I'd like to see them...Semper Fi. BTW the reason this stood out to me was in The Corps (I don't now if you were in or not) the platoons in the fleet are ordered by height so there is a noticeable "little" end, but back in the 70's when I saw the silent drill team perform many times while stationed at H.Q. Marine Corps, there was no noticeable little end, whereas when I watched this video I was struck that now there is...so something has definitely changed....so this is a been there seen that moment that if you haven't it is hard to speak to my point.
When I was in there was still the same height minimum and I got out in 2011. Couldve changed since then I guess.
2:47 Anyone else hear that "aye"
Murphy's law is right! sadly cramped space's like that will always cause a few screw ups, especially for newly joined members of the platoon, still a great job though.
The inspector was off mark a couple of times
Outstanding
Good show! My brother anti-firearm was a Persion rifleman at SJSU. To today, he cannot resist putting my 1903A1 rilfe through parade maneuvers.
this is beautiful
74,000 views and "gucci gang" has 484 million views. I'm sad for this world.
Very cool! Thanks for recording and sharing this.
The discipline these guys have isn't human
I've seen better but the age of these Marines tells me that this is more of a inspection demonstration to see who's the weakest. I did observed a couple of mistakes especially when the Marine nearly knocked off his cover catching his rifle and the mirror maneuver wasn't quite in sync. To spin a Main Battle Rifle, with bayonet, is a feat very few newbies can achieve. Semper Fi Leathernecks y'all make Chesty proud!! USN Vietnam Vet 1969-78
NamVet70Mike, much respect Mike! My father is a Vietnam Veteran. That is why I followed in his footsteps! I am so proud of him and all the men and women before me.
My JROTC instructor was a retired general, she retired the year she became our instructor she had worked as a security detail for Bush and Obama and she had commanded a base she brought us to that base as a field trip and we got to see them doing this but with the actual bayonets on the end, it was amazing and the guy in charge of them all, showed me all of the cuts he had on his arm hands face and kneck from training his people, because while training them they were hitting and cutting him with the bayonets I was thinking dang he's brave
this is to show their dicipline! yes they are
I bet those kids were impressed.
literally no one in the video was looking at their phone
@@EVSkecthCode yeah there was
BurmaBerm YOU SURE ABOUT THAT???? LOOK AT THE EXIT...ON THE DOOR AT TIME 10:00
If synchronised swimming is an Olympic sport then so should this. They should all get gold medals.
this what i like from marine corps
Love this...Ol Sarge...
Saw them last month at culver, in
Incredible😲‼
Sehr gut.💪👍
Crazy to think some of those in the silent drill platoon are probably not much higher age than those seniors. Some of them could be 18 or 19
I have anxiety just watching this.
Nice
💜💖
cool :)
Anyone have a link for the boisterous Marine Corp platoon drills?
Amazing precision (sure some minute missteps) but MAGNIFICENT nonetheless
between 0:09 and 0:12 look far right of the platoon at the end of 2nd and 3rd squad. tsk tsk tsk
by any chance did you record the rest of the performance? if so, will it be uploaded soon? (:thank you!
Joanna, yes I did, and yes it will! :)
thank you! (:

holy......shit....
est-ce que les fusils sont opérationnels?
Are those real rifles and does every marine have to do this?
Yes they are real rifles. And no only a select few marines do this. You should really research them. It’s really fascinating.
Anyone else notice the gap when they are in a line
This is my rifle this is my gun th i is for shooting and 《|=====3 is for fun..
They didn't do the Bayonet Gauntlet! Lame!
You're lame.
Racism he went for the black guy
+Edgar Rodriguez Nah, he is a boot (young Marine) still. This high school is probably jus training for them.
oh fuck off
+TRGR PanderzInc Not racism. I'm black and I didn't feel it was racism! I felt honored! They only pick the BEST to do those drills. Damn! Why do people make racism the focal point of every damn thing?
+TRGR Pbnderzinc its actually considered an honor to be chosen for rifle inspection and even then only the best can be picked to do it, its not picked by random they practice who's doing what for months
+Antonio Howard he definitely is not a boot.
Uh - gun-free zone, anyone?
Errrrr.........what?
