I was never in the service, but used to work in a surplus store. The troops would come back from Iraq and Afghanistan in waves. Having fun. They loved this one MRE we sold. Think it was the Colorado omelette. Green bag. These jokers would pay 30$ for that MRE. And only that one. Meanwhile InAndOut Burgers was right down the block. 6$ for a double double combo
Wow, all of these are probably like E4 and below situations but the Tik Toks I related to the most was getting the special treat in an MRE because in the Army at least, there were the crowd favorites that everyone snatched first from a shipment and the unpopular meals that just sat there and were the only option if you were actually out on patrol and not just a POG or something. So getting something the jalapeno cheddar cheese spread was a definite boost to morale after sufferings through a week of vegetarian or worse, an egg based MRE. I also related to the dueling ones as we had an unofficial fight club when I was in and no hits to the face but body blows were ok and we bare knuckle boxed each other. Also relate to there always being at least one eff-up who would screw something up and get the entire unit's weekend leave privilege taken away. Good times in the Army and military in general. :)
I was "fortunate" (or unfortunate!) in that I was exposed to the 1st three generations of Meals Rejected by Ethiopians! The first gen were TERRIBLE! The second were better, but kinda sparse on the snacks & condiments. The third gen were lots better, having stuff like what you would get out of a can in a store! Chicken a la King, Beef Stew, Chili Mac, and the breakfast ones weren't too bad either! I still have several of those little bottles of Tabasco sauce as souvenirs! (Oh, those tough pouches the MRE's came in were great when you needed to take a dump & couldn't go to a latrine! Oddly enough, they kept that same little packet of "John Wayne toilet paper" in all three generations! 🤣🤪)
I remember we had a private that fucked up so bad that he was told to sweep all the sand outside the FOB into a giant pile. Doesn’t sound bad right? Well it’s Afghanistan on an active duty deployment. So it sucked for him.
we used to salute the officers cars ..often with just their wives and kids in there ,but you never wanted to be wrong and ignore the stars and bars lol
The Mythbusters tested "paper armor" and it was pretty efficient against actual swords and arrows. It takes a ton of time to create loads of layers and then sew them together. Cardboard isnt as good as paper though, because the fibres are short.

PFC = "Perfect For Cleaning" I remember in my early days in the Marines, I had some staff NCO explain to me for about 20 minutes or so that it is called a push broom, not a pull broom. He gave me a period of instruction on the proper use of the "push broom" and made sure I only pushed it and not pulled it. Good times!
Speaking of police call. While out at JRTC at Fort Polk one time, one of my soldiers lost the bolt to his M4. Once we realized that he lost the bolt, the Battalion Commander stopped the exercise and had about 500 of us on line two feet apart walking through the woods. We did that for two days. Everyone was pissed. Damn you, Pvt. Williams.

My friend opens beer bottles with his eye sockets. He has even developed it into opening two bottles simultaneously and retains the caps over his eyes. It seems impossible but I’ve seen it done many times, looks weird and a bit frightening.
When I was active in the USMC, I always thought that every Marine was a basic janitor, because if we were now working, we were cleaning something. We even had to clean the tops of the florescent light fixtures in the shop.
Craziest way beer was opened... a guy figured out how to take the top off with his tongue. It looked really painful and impossible to do but he found a way for it to work
A friend of mine was super drunk and for some reason decided the best way to open a beer bottle was to smash the cap on his buddys helmet. And that's what he does everytime since.

When a platoon from 3rd Tracs at Camp Pendleton came back from a WESTPAC back in the early 80’s. Said Marines were celebrating their homecoming (on top of the Barracks). The next morning (Saturday) the Battalion CO came through the area checking on how many Amtracers he could hold Office Hours for. Our Barracks was next to Battalion HQ. Several of the guys brought back crossbows from the P I and the Colonel found half a dozen seagulls “pinned”to the ground and palm trees! He had everybody still in the Barracks out side reaming us and waiting for the First Sergeant to get there! Fortunately I had gotten off duty and took all the crossbows and related materials and took them back to my apartment to secure them. All of us on duty got reamed the worst,”YOU PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THIS CRAP!” I got chewed out by the Gunny for telling the Colonel, “We didn’t hear them because crossbows are stealthy weapons! Sir!” After the Gunny finished, he laughed and told me to go back home to my wife!
The Army way of rolling sleeves was started with the BDU uniform. All uniforms prior to to the BDU were rolled up like standard sleeves. The reason for the new Army way was that it allowed you to quickly pull down your sleeves during an NBC attack. It is best to roll up the sleeves with your shirt off. Here's how to do it. Start by pulling the edge of the shirt cuffs all the way to the armpits of the shirt. You should see the lighter color of the inside of the sleeve. Next make a flat roll that will be outside of the previous sleeve roll. After the second flat roll the bottom of the folded rolled sleeve will be at your elbow. Final step is to fold the sleeve cuff down so the bottom edge is aligned with rolled section around the elbow. All lighter colors are covered with the darker outside. If you needed to cover your arms and skin just grab the cuffs and pull down.
Sir, I have watched most of your videos with a lot of interest. I especially liked the ones you made on the French Foreign Legion. I would like to quote a poem that was written by a Capitaine of the Légion Etrangère, about the Unknown Soldier who is lying under the arch of triumph, in Paris : “Who knows if the One who rests under the immense arch, Adding his own epic glory to the prides of the past, Is not this foreigner who became son of France, Not by the blood received but by the blood shed”. I wish that you can do a video, someday, about the duty we have, the duty to remember and honor the men who gave their life for our democracies.
I most closely related to the Barracks Inspection "Rampage." My platoon came back to the barracks bay one afternoon after chow to find, not only all of our possessions scattered, but also small furniture, clothing, socks undone and seperate, underwear, shoes, hygiene products and everything else flung, tossed and flipped all over a 120ft by 50ft Barracks bay. Im not even kidding when i say, "I found my mattress stuck up in the rafters on the other side of our bay." It took us a full week to finally feel like we had sorted out everyone's belongings. To this day, i still have a pair of spandex underwear that never fit. "Why was the Bay tossed so savagely?" You ask? Because Drill happened to find what remained of a Cigarette Snipe in the pocket of one privates ACU pants, located in that privates dirty laundry bag. We never found out who that private was, or if Drill found anymore. What i do know is this. That Drill HAD TO HAVE USED A LATTER to have gotten my mattress 15 feet up into those rafters. Cause it was a fucking squad effort to get it back down without a rope and hook or snag.

@@Charlie_Rowe well, maybe not o.O lol
@@Charlie_Rowe haha, yep. At least once a day someone from my INF platoon pulled their balls out for some joke. I can’t even imagine the trouble I’d be in if I were in in this political climate haha.
@@kylecox2114 LOL Yup. We used to do that for room inspection. Have our bean bags out but covered by BDU blouse, trying to get the other guys to laugh.
What's an Article 15 when you're having fun with your brothers? 😆🇺🇲
most ive seen this dude laugh and im loving it
trying to bring in some fun vids as I find them. thanks for watching
Right
There was a guy that could open a beer with his eye socket.
Heading to Fort Benning in September. Been watching your account each day. One of the best UA-camrs out there
This dude in my high school would open them with his upper eye socket. I’ve seen him do it 3 times and one time the cap cut into his skin and stuck at the rim of him eye socket until he looked up at it and it popped out and his eye just went red as he started rapidly blinking and the blood spread in his eye. That’s the last time I went to a party with that guy
The last time? I'd try my hardest to go to as many parties as possible with that guy 🤣 he sounds like fun
Oh, that's rich! He sounds like so much fun!
Hey Jameson the video of the army at 8:45 Is AIT and it was a health and wellness check which means they go through all of your rooms looking for drugs, alcohol, and whatever they consider contraband thus they will just trash everything to try to find it. This video was made when I was there at fort lee. Keep up the great work
long weekend for those young solider cleaning up.... lesson , I hope.
@@JamesonsTravels Learning how to clean all kinds of sugary and fatty substances from floors or painted surfaces (without scratching the paint job) is a good thing to learn for the rest of your life ... and many kids dont have a clue about that.
Did they trash it before or after they found the drugs?
They should have used dogs, guess that wasn’t creative enough lol
Lol they typically only did that to repeat offender and guys they just didn’t like. I remember I got saved one time, I had a phone that I bought at a PX at the bottom of a box of cereal, inside all the cereal. I left some bottoms on the floor they chewed me out for the bottoms called me fucking disgusting then left. I was god dam shitting myself praising god they did t start tearing things apart.
My friend opens beer bottles with his eye sockets. He has even developed it into opening two bottles simultaneously and retains the caps over his eyes. It seems impossible but I’ve seen it done many times, looks weird and a bit frightening.
Wtf
Twist offs don’t count
that is insane lol!
@@Make-Asylums-Great-Again not twist offs
@@carlzeiss4871 your friend has steel orbital bones, that’s insane.
I literally saw the longing in your eyes the moment one guy mentioned raspberry apple sauce
When I was active in the USMC, I always thought that every Marine was a basic janitor, because if we were now working, we were cleaning something. We even had to clean the tops of the florescent light fixtures in the shop.
Craziest way beer was opened... a guy figured out how to take the top off with his tongue. It looked really painful and impossible to do but he found a way for it to work
Craziest beer opening.. eye socket
that man is legit. never seen that one.
A friend of mine was super drunk and for some reason decided the best way to open a beer bottle was to smash the cap on his buddys helmet. And that's what he does everytime since.
That first Spartan kick with the marines was my platoon at bwt at camp vl4 during range week.. that was the first real free time we had since bootcamp
When I was stationed in japan, I watched someone literally peel the cap off with his finger and thumb. I lost my mind.
While being one of Uncle Sam's Misguided Children we had to dust our tent in the desert because some general was visiting. And arranged the rocks too.
Love the videos!
The one with the Marines sweeping water was at SOI in Pendleton. I was there when that happened.
During marching band lunch breaks I collected fast food bags and made Domino Mcjimmybell my own super hero persona with a suit made out of dominos, McDonald’s, Jimmy Johns, and Taco Bell bags
Id love to see what that looked like
commie
@@genericusername4206 thank you

@@redsmoke4502 ya I’d think so
We are a bunch of weirdos ngl
Damm these Videos are getting better and better. If you guys think these soldiers are wild they are soldiers having fun.
Rolling my sleeves used to completely cut off the blood to my arms, but they looked sooooo good.
We painted lines on the hangar floors so often you could trip over them.
One of the dumbest things when we had some down time (probably waiting to get released) we re-enacted titanic. My buddy was rose, I was jack, we were getting pushed on a flat cart, and my other buddy was humming (My Heart Will Go On) in the background. Lmao I miss those days.
The best way I saw my best friend try to take off a beer bottle was with a .50 Desert Eagle. We eventually got the beer but it had a metal taste. Lol
This was probably the most entertaining marine corps tiktok compilation ive seen yet. Funny as hell
When I was visiting the states everybody was blown away when I'd open beers with a bic lighter. It's almost a prerequisite here in Australia 😂
Same in Norway. I know some who use their eye socket.
Das a good party trick
@@caseylyngalian2103 Just a way of life down here
When I was in and I hope they still have it in MREs. Jalapeño cheese!!! You’d give up anything for that. Also, as young Marine that had to buff the deck. We would see who could stand on the buffer the longest. It would bring you tears it was so funny watching some of the guys!!! YUT!
Probably one stupid way I use to open my beer too often is to just shatter the top of bottle off and drink, got very good at it😂
I did that a few times until I got a nasty cut on my lip
Try harder
I learned that lesson when I was 10, had juice in glass bottle, shattered it on school walls, my lips were bleeding hard, my mate was terrified hehehe.
When I use this method, I don’t have my lips on the opening, but just pouring it
That’s dudes face when he gets the good MRE. Been there brother
I love how Jamesons face lights up when he explains how Marines are on location someplace horsing around... LOVE IT!
We had a brand new 1st Lt that no one liked; Dumb too, was told we needed a bucket of IFF paint. He looked everywhere until told the truth, head down he asked for transfer. 701st Radar Sqd, Kure Beach, N.C.
I still remember back in 2005 having full blown funeral sessions for any sand flea that was swatted and killed during morning PT because their lives had more value than us nasty recruits 🤦♂️😂
Another Blockbuster video by Jameson Travels HOORAH !
*URA
Ooora
12:10 this is ITB in Camp Pendleton Bravo Company in early March 2020. We were Charlie Company when my buddy recorded this video! I can’t believe it’s blown up as much as it did!
The guy with the USMC hat going to basic reminds me of when my brother told me that in basic some of the guys in his barracks would wake up with their alarms set to the Army's Anthem. I laughed so hard.
Craziest way I've seen beer opened is when one of my buddies just ripped the cap off. It wasn't a twist off cap but it became a twist off cap
Why are military related things always so much funnier!? Love it!
Cause they're supposed to be professional and uniform but seeing them mess around and stuff it catches you off gaurd
@@Jackyl_47 Thanks for stealing my explanation.
I like the "Hey Johnson why did you join the Army?....To pick up leaves and sweep the grounds"
@@Jackyl_47
just will just be kids I suppose
Loved this video. My favorite beer story was opening a beer with a sharp Katana a six pack and a trip to the hospital to reattach my lance Corporal top two fingers on his right hand in Fuji, Japan.
I now feel a need to try this. Lol not really but it is funny
One time my father opened a beer bottle with a block of wood while we were building a chicken coop.
I remember at the school house (2111) armorer. And I left a 2 liter of soda unsecured and the SOG somehow flipped the bottle upside down with the the bottle half full. I had no idea how he did that. As a retired MSgt. I miss the Corps! Thank you for these videos because they help. I’m still having a hard time but my body just gave up after 13 surgeries. Thank you for your service Marine!
Guy with amazing calluses made the cap a twist off
The dude getting hit in the nuts was pretty classic.
There was a British army packet meal comprising lamb casserole and oxtail soup,it actually wasn't too bad.
Beer bottle opening,A driver from the 2nd Royal tank regiment drove his chieftan tank over a bottle of Carlsberg,just nipping the top of the bottle with the track,the first inch of the bottle was turned to powder,but it didn't break and not much beer was lost.
Pfc acronym is perfect for cleaning . I can relate to doing all the police calls and sweeping the sun away 😂
I had a USMC T shirt on on my way to MCRD met a Marine at the Hotel the night before arrival. He traded me shirts and said “ You just don’t want to do that sort of thing” I’ve never talked to him again. He was a real good dude.
When I was in basic the training grenades where way worse then the real ones
Yeah, we had to save the pins and put them back in after recharging the grenade. It's like a cotter pin from hell.
@@musicmason I went to sill and for about the better part of an hour an a half after in the hot ass sand of July we were digging to find every last fucking spoon and wouldn't leave till

Sounds about right.
*I always laugh at people complaining that there are "military grade" rifles on the street, "in the hands of civilians". First off, civilian rifles are a LOT more accurate than military versions are! The only thing the military version has that the civilian version doesn't, is automatic fire - which is really only necessary because the milspec rifles suck so bad.*
They probably weren't supposed to have food in their rooms. We would toss bags from the px up onto a ledge by our window before going into the building.
I held a bottle up to my boy's crotch rocket tire as he was doing a burnout. Be damned if it didn't send that top down range faster than a 7.62 round
I guarantee that germans and austrians can literally open a bottle with anything. A road sign? I've seen it. 4 beers at once by interlocking them? Yes. With a handkerchief? Yes. With their bare hands? Definitely.
Aufjedenfall.
I knew a Viet Gal that used her…….
My dad could open it in the crease of his inner arm at the elbow.
Opening a beer bottle with another beer bottle was the most clever thing I’ve ever seen while living Austria
I was in the motor pool turnin wrench’s. I just remember watching the whole battalion get off at 1200 and I went back to work till 2200 lol. It is what it is lol 😂
When you have a metric f***load of boxes and you're waiting for the CO to come inspect your layout... make armor and weapons.
If you are in the english-speaking world it should be an "imperial f***load" ... because they still use the stupid units (the ones which have multiples of 12 ... 3 ... and whatnot to get from one to the next instad of simply multiples of 10).
The most outrageous openings of beer bottles I've seen were when a guy a chainsaw to pop the top off.
This is how bonds are formed.
JT, one can tell you were a Marine, because of the joy seen on your face when you watch these guys. 😊
Ex british army here, we could use our regimental belt buckles to open bottles of beer,the ultimate survival tool 😁
One of Murphys' laws of combat, remember your weapon was made by the lowest bidder.
That reminded me of when one of my roommates made a robot suit out of 24 pack mountain dew boxes and proceeded to challenge people to box with him. The joys of college dorm life.
I had a Team leader go to Sapper School and come back with his tab. He was so pumped and happy when he got back he showed us how much fun Sapper school was. Smoked us for 6hrs straight.
The clip where the barracks are trashed looks like the barracks at Ft. Jackson 😂😂
I remember some good old fashion squad bay boxing matches. Beautiful time as a young guy. Magical moments.
In Basic one day I put my boot polish in the toe of my display boots, we came back that afternoon and the whole barracks were Destroyed! Myself and a few others had to pack our duffelbags to be recycled back to Day One! We were scared to Death. It was a mind game and they eventually told us to get back inside and inspection in 5 minutes! Early 80's was a Bitch!
The guy who walks into the hall that's a flashback to Benning 2011 . I'm still not sure how but the drill got shaving cream over every square inch of the ceiling .
He was a grown up version of all of you
We had a high ranking VIP visit our Camp, we had to repaint every thing on the camp so it looked good, the mud green to look like grass we even had a RAF helicopter for a nearby base hover over the trees to blow the lose leaves off. They never went further than the first building on camp for two hours.
Dehydrated beef or pork patty - 👍
Cook the patty
In canteen cup (w/camp stove), cook ramen
When ramen is done, toss in cooked patty, cheese spread, & Tabasco
Chow Time!
I remember making 2 extra duty guys cut grass with scissors. Good times.
One chief literally had us picking dandelion south of a field cuz there was nothing else for us to do 🤣
I remember same stuff with inact platoons reclassing or mos ts or anyone who got recycled DPW we called it dirty private work
My dad played football with some crazy SOB’s at Colorado University in the 70’s. One of the linebackers used to open beer bottles with the bone above his eye (supraorbital notch) 😂
Opening a beer with a ammo can?! How the f did I not learn this while I was in?
When a platoon from 3rd Tracs at Camp Pendleton came back from a WESTPAC back in the early 80’s. Said Marines were celebrating their homecoming (on top of the Barracks). The next morning (Saturday) the Battalion CO came through the area checking on how many Amtracers he could hold Office Hours for. Our Barracks was next to Battalion HQ. Several of the guys brought back crossbows from the P I and the Colonel found half a dozen seagulls “pinned”to the ground and palm trees! He had everybody still in the Barracks out side reaming us and waiting for the First Sergeant to get there! Fortunately I had gotten off duty and took all the crossbows and related materials and took them back to my apartment to secure them. All of us on duty got reamed the worst,”YOU PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THIS CRAP!” I got chewed out by the Gunny for telling the Colonel, “We didn’t hear them because crossbows are stealthy weapons! Sir!” After the Gunny finished, he laughed and told me to go back home to my wife!
The Army way of rolling sleeves was started with the BDU uniform. All uniforms prior to to the BDU were rolled up like standard sleeves.
The reason for the new Army way was that it allowed you to quickly pull down your sleeves during an NBC attack. It is best to roll up the sleeves with your shirt off. Here's how to do it.
Start by pulling the edge of the shirt cuffs all the way to the armpits of the shirt. You should see the lighter color of the inside of the sleeve. Next make a flat roll that will be outside of the previous sleeve roll. After the second flat roll the bottom of the folded rolled sleeve will be at your elbow. Final step is to fold the sleeve cuff down so the bottom edge is aligned with rolled section around the elbow. All lighter colors are covered with the darker outside.
If you needed to cover your arms and skin just grab the cuffs and pull down.
Sir, I have watched most of your videos with a lot of interest. I especially liked the ones you made on the French Foreign Legion. I would like to quote a poem that was written by a Capitaine of the Légion Etrangère, about the Unknown Soldier who is lying under the arch of triumph, in Paris :
“Who knows if the One who rests under the immense arch,
Adding his own epic glory to the prides of the past,
Is not this foreigner who became son of France,
Not by the blood received but by the blood shed”.
I wish that you can do a video, someday, about the duty we have, the duty to remember and honor the men who gave their life for our democracies.
You should react to the cartels in Mexico, they have ex US Navy seals training them. Should be really good content keep up the good work boss 👌🏼💯
So happy I got out before everyone had a camera
I most closely related to the Barracks Inspection "Rampage."
My platoon came back to the barracks bay one afternoon after chow to find, not only all of our possessions scattered, but also small furniture, clothing, socks undone and seperate, underwear, shoes, hygiene products and everything else flung, tossed and flipped all over a 120ft by 50ft Barracks bay.
Im not even kidding when i say, "I found my mattress stuck up in the rafters on the other side of our bay." It took us a full week to finally feel like we had sorted out everyone's belongings.
To this day, i still have a pair of spandex underwear that never fit.
"Why was the Bay tossed so savagely?" You ask?
Because Drill happened to find what remained of a Cigarette Snipe in the pocket of one privates ACU pants, located in that privates dirty laundry bag. We never found out who that private was, or if Drill found anymore.
What i do know is this. That Drill HAD TO HAVE USED A LATTER to have gotten my mattress 15 feet up into those rafters. Cause it was a fucking squad effort to get it back down without a rope and hook or snag.
