I get a lot of questions in regards to training to be a Marine Raider and Recon Marine. While these are great aspirations we all must start on the yellow footprints. After months of work and planning, Josh Honsberger and I have developed a 12-week training plan called USMC PREP for $35, to assist those individuals looking to take up the challenge.

I'm glad my dad motivated me to workout but I wish he was here to do it with me
Caleb Stephens he is in you’re heart brother
It's all my dad tells me to do but I have almost no motivation because school is absolutely kicking my ass. Sucks to suck
Im so sorry for your loss man
Sorry for your loss that’s gotta hurt
There's nothing you can do to prepare for mind games and that's all Marine Corps boot camp is, for example you'll run back and forth till you go crazy then roll around in the sand pit for the dumbest reasons. It's designed to break you, so just suck it up and push through it. It definitely does help being physically fit.
Dude I really wanna join the USMC when I'm older. I've been trying really hard to get in shape. I'm a freshman in high school and ran cross country and am going to do swim to get in real good shape. I am proud of my dream career and hope that my high school fitness will get me a first class physical. You are a huge inspiration. Thanks a lot
Zach
How are you doing there Zach, have you enlisted?
@@kaelynnicky1550 wow im kind of embarrassed I use to leave comments like this. oh well. I will likely go to the Naval academy, or possibly west point. I am a principle nominee. But if not I will go through NROTC.
@@zachmeyer2718 Wow, that's really cool I'm glad you're still pursuing this line of duty even after these years. A lot of people that I know that wanted to go into the military or something similar decided not to, So it's cool that you decided to continue this. I actually also enlisted last November, I'm supposed to ship out to boot camp on September 6th.
Dude, you guys are too legit and badass to be this small still, reach out to other channels for shout outs! I'll do my part and share best i can, Love the content!
I got 200 for my PlayStation, that pays for the gym 👌
Ur amazing
No Name You seriously believe him
Thank you guys for making this video! This advice has really helped me. I’m currently preparing for recruit training but I needed more guidance with my workout plan. I plan to buy your USMC recruit training guide to use daily. I want to be the best version of myself I can be in the Marine Corps and I am thankful for your advice. :)
I do play games in my free time but I always put going to workout and prepping my food for myself and my cardio before anything. Specially games because I want to get it done and not waste time till there’s none to get it done.
I wish I had saw this before my son went, he just started boot camp 2 weeks ago! He’s excited and I know he’s ready physically but mentally he’ll be shocked.
I was attached to 2d Marine Raider Battalion (it was 2d Marine Special Operations Battalion back then) from 2007-2011. I met Nick and would shoot the shit with him when he would come down to the supply warehouse. Great dude and always cool to talk to. Dan New is actually my youngest son's godfather.
ctilson176 I loved how I'd walk in the office and we would always shoot the shit and somehow or another one of is would say back in them "mother fucking force recon days". Glad to see I wasn't one of the only ppl from 2d msob to find this channel.
-musgrave
I'm malnourished, about 130 pounds, and am 5'11. My dream in life is to become a Marine and I'll do whatever I have to do to achieve that. I won't let being skinny and being a picky eater stop me from accomplishing my goal!
Easiest way... have an ol man that was a Marine. Boot Camp was a breeze for me 41 years ago.
You rock!!! I love it!!!
Be Prepared that’s my Boy Scouts thingy
For my IST I got 9 PU, 80 CR, and a 1212 Run so Im kinda spazzing at how Im gonna do. Leave in 12 days and want to know how bad its gonna suck for me. Been watching these videos to get as much info as I can
@@NickKoumalatsos82 you mean it's gonna suck for mea bit extra or just in general
@@NickKoumalatsos82 thank s for the info and great video! Wish me luck
Im 29 recently lost 50 lbs was 250 now 198. Thanks for the advice hopefully the recruiter will accept me
Sorry bro they only take 18-28 yrolds
"What's up sir!" You just fucked up dude!
Ship out May 20th, trying to absorb all info I can even though I still won't be "prepared" for bootcamp lol. I did become way more physically fit though, I just need that extreme mental strength now man. Anyone got tips on that?
sir nigbone I ship out May 18, 2020 lol
tezman58 How’d it go?
@@capitcha great. Lost all motivation though and hate life :) do it
Do you still hate life?
Def good vid!
My brother is a marine
Hi Nick, im new to the channel i was wondering if u could do a video series on military stories
+Nick Koumalatsos cool cool id love to hear about ur ops n experiences
I see Dunder muffling mug automatic sub fuck yeaaa mate
Hope you guys are doing good so a question how long would it take for a relatively fit person to get his mile and a half from let’s say around the 11s to let’s say in the low 8s high 7s ?
I am 13 and I wanna be a marine soo bad what can I do?I am a little bit overweight
Who’s actually bought this book? I’ve just purchased it on amazon but there is only 3 reviews! Can anyone leave a review here for me? Much appreciated
Nick Koumalatsos awesome, thanks Nick! Appreciate it! Keep up the good work buddy 👍
I am planning on buying the program but was wondering which type should I buy (ebook, paperback, app)? Does anybody have a preference and if so why?
currently im 14, can you join with eczema? i
After boot camp when are we allowed to grow out our facial or how does the hair standards work? I ship pretty soon to pendleton but I wanna grow out my facial hair after boot
I lost lotta weight but lost muscles during the process what workout do I need for boot camp plus I can't swim!
Im leaving october and im not physically fit im scared......
I'm 6'3 185 pretty skinny. What should I do?
Is the ammo can lift part of the CFT?
I have at to ask were your parents supportive of you because my parents are not I want to go in the marines but my dads says I'm going to regret it.
I really wanted to be a marine, even lost 120lbs but I have really bad asthma :( .
Thank you for your service!🇺🇸
Alex Williams I want to join and think I can get cleared but I feel u asthma sucks
I got asthma too but I never had a attack or used my pump ever so I think I’m good
@@nedbainbridge308 you'll never know unless you try
spookymane am gonna try cus I haven’t had a attack or symptoms that other things couldn’t explain
@@nedbainbridge308 nice man go for it. worst they can tell you is no
I'm a poolee and my last IST was
15 pull ups
9:30 mile and a half run
84 crunches
I think i'm prepared enough but still room for improvement
Nice bro! I'd love to have that IST, I definitely got room to work. I hope your journey is working out well
Mine is about the same but my run time is better & I cannot swim which is obviously important for a marine. Working on it now 🤘🏾
“Whatup sir!”
......
......
RUN!
Was I the only one expecting more drill instructors to start surrounding this recruit while running screaming at him? Haha I was laughing at that scene.
Lmfao i was busting up so hard 😂😂
Not 100% sure but they have blue shirts on so might be DEP.
Awesome Video. I've been out for 5 years and when kids ask me what to do, I give them the max Pft requirements and tell them to continuously try to meet it. I think that the mental understanding of continuous improvement is something that is best driven home before they get to boot camp
damn i wish i knew some of these things before i ship monday haha. I'm in great shape but the recruiters definitely don't strain the importance of training before you go in. It also depends on what recruiting station you come out of. My recruiters work us pretty hard whereas others in the surrounding cities do not and it shows at the annual poole functions. Great video, love your stuff.
thank you sir, yes sir
Great video. I’m 15 right now and wanting to become a marine. I’ve been training doing running, pull ups, push ups and trying to prepare myself as much as possible before I go to boot camp.
Another great one! Get these kids in shape!!
You guys nailed it. Today America's youth has fallen way behind on what it used to be, it's sad really. Can't wait to hear more on the raiders workout. OCS 227 PFT 270 determined MOS 370 one day.
Nick Koumalatsos I've been the gamer, never "out" of shape but died running a mile, and I wanted to make a change for the nation generation wise. To the gamers, get in shape, fly drones, they are thinking about bringing xbox controllers to them sorry playstation.
True when my dad when for the British army training he just went in and cracked on. Im going for Army Commado 148 . And doing triathlons to train for it good crack and good fun. Cousins in The RMC the Best Marines there are ;)
@@mattbye8647 I agree, but that video they showed about how old high schoolers used to workout was an exaggeration. It was extreme and bizarre back then too, hence the reason it was recorded and the reason the narrator said it “attracted nation wide attention”
Yep I'm 5 10 and 205lbs 35 years old. I should not be outrunning 22 year old privates fresh out of basic. Sad really
I want to see this brother lol
If only we had high workout standards and fitness test and programs at school that don’t suck
yeah i know dude..work on it yourself. you will show yourself how bad you want it.
What day in the program does it tell me how to grow such an amazing beard?
I'm a gamer but I'm a boxer first... I'm currently 15 turning 16 soon...I'm the heavyweight champ in my city (cairo) but I really want to join the marines my plan is to go to the US (for my education) and hopefully get a green card before I get a job because I want to join the US military and I'm working really hard for it even since I was 12 but being an Arab already is a huge red flag even though I'm an atheist my physical capability and reaction time are really good even at my age and I can take a hit but I just want to know if my dream has a 1% chance of coming true or if it's just a dream
I saw that Dundler Mifflin logo on that coffee mug, I knew I liked you for a reason lol
Lmao just noticed, instant like.
Alan Diaz THDa
Solid video! Time for you guys to spread the word about the training program, so we can help as many soon to be men get ready to crush USMC recruit training.
Honestly didn’t think I was marine material but this has inspired me to become marine material. Because I’m not at this moment but this makes me feel like I can fix that
have you fixed it?
3:09
That McJuggerNuggets clip though😂
I wish this would have been around in 1981 when I went to OCS. Damn near killed me, but I survived. I was so unprepared. Graduated and did 11 years. Greatest organization around. Thanks for helping those who come after us! Acknowledge the "Big Green Weenie!" It will happen to you.
I spent so much time in that exact same pool when I attended physical therapy at sea coast from 2011-2013. Great bunch of guys. Just discovered this channel man and I love it. And you mentioned Dan in your video. We deployed on the sotf back in 2010. Hell of a guy.
My dad was a jail bird and passed away at 35 to the streets I feel like if I don’t join the service imma be reduced to robbing and living in the hood thank you for the video. You helping change us young kids minds about these decisions
I Can't wait to become a Marine! Thank you Nick, going to get the USMC prep soon so I can be a leader. I am traning like the males! You guys give me so much motivation, thank you again.
Did you make it?
@@mozz60fps2 he's too busy with service to reply
Watching this was definitely motivating as I have always thought about earning the title but not applying myself to what I need to meet, or excell in, the requirements to enlist. I have nothing and nobody to blame but myself and seeing two badass operators like you guys, in the sickest shades I've seen, has motivated me to not giving up on something I've wanted since before highschool and to change my priorities.
Love the video!! and did nobody else notice that Nick wore 4 different shirts within the first 8 minutes lol
BOOM , he noticed!
Thank you for making this video. Joining the military and becoming a U.S Marine has been a dream of mine. I’ve been preparing myself mentally and physically for the last year and a half. It’s been a rollercoaster. I was obese (250-55lbs) and now I’m a few pounds shy of my BMI (197lbs) and hopefully just a few weeks away from boot camp. I took this as encouragement to be the best I can be. Thanks!!
So true all the way around. This applies to other branches as well. I get so tired of new people coming in fresh out of initial training without the physical tools or mental drive to be a contributing member of the team. I love what you guys are doing here, and I'm planning to start recommending this to people that I know and some of the guys I work with
Nick, you're killing it man! Great job with the multi shot/layer exercise scene, and pretty slick footage at the pool using a gimbal or whatever stabilizer you have. Looks like you had the focus locked when you guys exited the pool, pretty cinematic look to it. Well done!
I grew up loving video games and as I got older I got bored of it cause I was accomplishing nothing so I felt like maybe doing martial arts or marines would help me get some where In life and build my confidence
Wow Guys, appreciate this! Really wanting to become a Marine more specifically a Raider! This Video helped so much, thanks guys!
Now time to get moving and ready for the Corps.
Shipping out August 12th! I'm fuckin ready
Loved it. I wish I were 35 years younger and the condition I was in then. I miss all the work. It really makes you feel great when you complete the exercise or test.
1:13 The drill instructor ran after the recruit like a bat out of hell. 😂
I love running, training, waking up early in the morning, reading, but I also love smoking cigars... 1 every night after a long day....
Mike Ramirez how old are you
@@benjamingarcia2282 sound 50😭
It would be so fuckin awkward if your Father and/or Brother was your Drill Instructor.... it would’ve been interesting if my dad was my Drill Instructor.... but he is retired & was a Recruiter in 2004ish in Iowa. I’m 16, and am going to enlist after high school.
Going to join the Corps thanks to you! Love his cup saying Hi, Im Josh
Hey nick I wanted to ask you do you think the Marine Corps will ever have a SMU unit like CAG or Devgru? Because I read something that they asked the Marine corps for this after det one but no more info has come up.
1. LOSS YOUR SMILE
This video is awesome I've been pushing myself ever since I enlisted which was almost about a year now, my boot camp date is getting closer and I just wanna say this was a great video.
Great advise for new Marines. I severed 2001-2005 MOS 0621. My only regret was not trying to advance to recon or snipers. I don't think Marine Raiders weren't reestablished until after I EAS. The Marine Corps was one of the best decisions of my life, I find myself thinking about my time in a lot. Good times, good people
I’ve been waiting for you guys to start specifying What aspiring Marines can try to do to get their PFT score up. Nick, I really want to do what you did. FORECON first, then do my MARSOC A&S and qualify, then be a Raider for the rest of my career in the USMC. You guys are huge inspirations to me and I can only hope to be as good as you guys are. I want to push myself to be the best Marine I can, preferably the best in my unit. I had one question though. I live in North Carolina, and I know you guys are set up somewhere in NC. Can I get the address of The Raider Project building so I can come over there and meet you guys? Or would that not be appropriate? Once again, thank you for being fucking awesome. Keep up with the great videos.
@James Howell What did you sign up for?
Tamaryon lawrence I’m currently a Junior in HS, so I don’t want to be super obnoxious and bitchy. It’s just I’ve always wanted to be a Marine since I was like 6 years old, and only recently, like a few years ago did I find out about MARSOC. I was originally going to do FORECON right out of SOI if I had the chance, but now that I know about MARSOC, I’m still going to try and do FORECON because I feel like it will be a stepping stone and it will allow me to be more experienced when I get into Irregular Warfare and the stuff Raiders do. If I can, I’m going to get that parental sign off so I can get a basic training date at 17, because I want to get in there and start doing shit ASAP.
I appreciate it, Nick. You have a good one. Keep up with that kick ass content. 💪🏻🇺🇸
I fully understand where you're coming from man, I've wanted to be special operations since I could understand what it was. Your time while come, maybe when I'm back I'll tell you how boot camp is. And yes thank you Nick for your videos and extra help!!
James, TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR BODY
you will need your ankles, knees and hips. Sometimes you may want it bad but your body will not be able to do it. MARSOC is a young mans game and you need to stay fit and healthy.
That was my annual pool function with the kid saying what's up sir. We obviously set that up as well. He was a great kid he father was a CWO.
Just found your channel and I’m loving the cinematography, editing, and topics. A+ from me man.
I leave for bootcamp in 7 days. I can do around 17 pull ups, 100 crunches, and I can get my run time to at least a 12:30. Is this alright to go in? I know I pass all the qualifications but is this decent to start?
Well... How'd it go?
Who else noticed his shirt changed mid video
Will you ever do a Q&A about Recon? And Awesome video!
5:28 - 5:33 ..................you can also do that from the foot end of your bed, or even your dining room table (if it is strong enough and long enough).
You bend down all the way so that your head is less than 6 inches from the floor and you're facing upside down.
What this does is strengthens the entire lower half of your back so that you can carry more weight on your legs because half of that weight is being carried by the muscles in your back, not any of the muscles in your legs (for example, carrying a wounded person across your back with a firemans carry).
It also stretches your spine a bit, but I don't quite know how that is a benefit to your overall health. Maybe you wake up quicker because your back muscles don't atrophy while you sleep.
Great video. Also, your editing and videography is getting more and more awesome with each video!
I cant tell you how many times on patrol dehydrated and exhausted I thought back to boot camp and how i would wish things were as simple and easy still. Thank god im in one piece and home. I think bootcamp is like high school, seems challanging when you go through but you look back and wish college was as easy lol same thing, you wish the fleet was easy.
My advice, RUN RUN RUN. If you cant do 6 or 7 pull ups you will receive some extra attention to get you to speed or out
I eat McDonalds, play video games, and live in my moms basement. I plan on going to marine boot camp in 3-6 months. I'll come back to this comment.
CiGee Gaming did you go yet?
And how did it go?
Jarmond is jacked
My dumbass is watching NOW when I have to go to boot camp next Monday... I'm so fucked..
I’m 18 and I stay up playing video games all night lol cause my schedule is messed up, I eat pretty healthy though, I used to be overweight but I lost a lot of weight and muscle, so I’m trying to workout to build more of it, idk if I would be able to just qualify as soon as I walk in or not so that’s why I’m trying to prepare, I can do like 5 pull-ups lmao, I’m 5’7 and 145-150 pounds
My pe in my high school is a literal joke. We do one circuit which is
Run 1 lap on the track (400m)
Stretch (they don’t teach us how to stretch and they don’t force us to stretch so most people just sit there until stretching is over)
Leg lifts for 30 seconds
20 curl ups
Run another lap around the track
10 pushups, rest and do another 10
Plank for 30 seconds
We usually do that circuit at least once every week. Every time we do those circuits I hear so much complaining that it creates such a negative atmosphere. We never warmup before stretching and our stretching session is f*ckin useless. Usually everyday is either running or walking and it’s just gets very repetitive and boring.

you can get physically prepared for basic but I promise you unless your dad was an USMC DI there is no friggin way you will EVER be ready for the mental shock, yeah there is all these videos showing what it's like.... it's bullshit its way worse. at least back when I was hit San Diego in 1993 for not 12 but 16 weeks of training. its pure hell especially the first full 7 to 10 days before things start to feel normal as if pure chaos ever feels normal lmao but you get what I mean the mental tear down and rebuilding there is no way to prepare for that cause all DI's run their own show. I know this will sound weird but I kinda miss the chaos.
This video is phenomenal. Very high quality and informative. Much love, keep it up.
Can't wait. March here I come!!! Raider in the making cant fucking wait. Oorah 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I'm 15 years old, I have always wanted to join the USMC, and I can hardly pass the bare minimum requirements, is there still time for me to get fit enough? I plan on joining as soon as I graduate high school (three and a half years from now)
I know it’s old but it’s really not that fucking hard. Just play sports in high school then join. You will be fine getting the exercise and staying in shape. If you are worried about boot camp you will never make whatever else you want to be.
I find the beginning of this video not to be true at all coming from someone who is currently right now busting their ass to make wait for the DEP and when I walked into my recruiters office at 218 needing to get down to 174 my recruiter never once shut the door on me or said I’m sorry you’re just not what we want, and yes it’s with the USMC not the USAF
I graduated army basic with no physical activity since high-school was 20 when I went in I would not recommend it at all it was extremely painful the physical activity I mean. Exercise do physical activity bout a year then proceed to the military
subscribed
i find it very hard to believe the stereotype that if your are a "gaming enthusiast" and academically inclined you can't be a good soldier. i have a strong there are currently badass soldiers deployed right now studying/reading a few hours then run some games on a console or laptop. then still kickass in combat.
i would like to break this stereotype. i am a math teacher and a registered master eletrician and i play a few games every now and then. i intend to atleast do the same PTs while working and continuing education. (atleast enough to pass PT for a fireman/police/jail officer).
rock on guys!
I love how nick has changed his t shirt and watch adleast twice between cuts
Hey guys thanks for this vidio im wanting to join the corps my self and this made me do push ups for 12 minutes
This might be too late but currently going to bootcamp 2021 april 19 any ways i can get E3 before i ship out? Joining marines will be in San Diego
So I bought the usmc prep book but it’s obvious I need to have access to a gym, and where I live in my county all the gyms are shut due to the whole covid-19, what do I do, it seems like I can’t even continue with the workout regiment at all
Man this is perfect, I have been looking for a structured routine since I talked to my recruiter and got into the DEP. Looking to get this ASAP as I ship in late January. Just one question before I do, am I able to use this without a slew of work out equipment? I only have access to some dumbbells and a treadmill due to my work schedule, and no access (or the monetary means) to a gym that fits into my schedule. You just got yourself a new sub, your tips and charisma have inspired me to hopefully do more when I get into the Corps, wanted to get to Recon then into the scout sniper program, now maybe MARSOC is in my future. (If the wife approves ha!)
Just bought the program, email with the digital download doesn't have any links to download anything just the pdf and your website
Oh okay I guess I wanted to get straight to working out today lol, 1 month until I ship!!!
Alright awesome, my recruiter was in Marsoc so I really want to do the same as you guys!
Yeah I got it, thanks so much
Enjoy the program. Hit me up via josh@alexandrind.com to tweak some things since you ship out soon
Josh Honsberger Yeah for sure, I've been running alot and just doing the basic weight lifts
