I suspect things are very similar in the Army, but I don't know for sure. I'll happily listen to any 11 series that corrects me on this. Life is just....FRUSTRATING. Often, when a guy in a unit messes up, the guy's unit will be punished. This means you spend a lot of time "in trouble" for stuff you didn't do. In some units, you spend a lot of time fighting. Your squad might get attacked by 3rd squad and beat on each other until those pussies from 2nd platoon come over, then you units and go ball up 2d Plt. Plus, being a grunt just...HURTS. You spend so much time being hot/cold, hungry, tired, carrying heavy shit, or gasping for breath on a run or swim or bump (hike)...when you get to "vent" all of that on an enemy, it's like a nuclear explosion . It's hard to explain. Also, I don't really like these "Marines vs Army" things. I was a Marine grunt, and I think ALL grunts are my brothers.

Dominique Govinden Example...Imaging it’s a Friday. Generally, Friday Mornings Marines are required to form for Battalion Formation. An Inspection of the Barracks usually follows the Battalion Inspection. Thursday nights are reserved for the “field day” or cleaning of the Barracks and Individual Rooms Marines are Housed in. Fast forward to Friday Morning. On an Ideal day, once Battalion Inspection is Over, your Platoon Sgt. may have his Marines draw Weapons, Marines will clean them for the rest of the Morning and then Marines will form up in Platoon Sized elements at which point your let go for the weekend or Holiday...that’s best case! Worst Case, after you turn your Weapons bank into the Armory, your told to take everything out of your room and feint day all over again. The field day will last for hours. Worst part, while your conducting the field day, you see other Platoons laughing or talking shit, some Marines may even sympathize with your Platoon while they are hitting the highway for the weekend; Instant rage moment!!!! Or, after you turn in weapons, you go back to the Barracks to wait on the “word” which won’t come from the Company Office for a minimum of three to four hours. Meantime, you e made plans that have been screwed...Instant rage moment!!! Due to the stress, Devil Dogs stay drunk,, angry and often times can be found in the head “hiding” from working parties with a good fuck book beating their cocks due to rage and anxiety due to the Games played by NCO’s and SNCO’’s. All this is geared to keep you mad enough to kill 👌

Hey when i was active duty i was supply I switched my mos over to 11b with the national guard . Any advice ?

I was an 0311 in the Corps for seven years. I never served in the Army, but I served with some Army units alongside us, and they did just fine. I believe there are differences, and some of them are important, in my opinion, that separate the Marine Corps from every other branch. It isn't our equipment, or our "superior fighting skills." It's the mindset and the small unit leadership that is instilled into you even as a boot ass private. I was a fireteam leader the day I arrived to the FMF. I was a Platoon Commander as a 21 year old Corporal in command of 39 Marines and a Navy Corpsman. Not one of the officers or SNCOs in my unit had any doubts in my abilities to lead men into combat even as an E4. In the Army, it seemed like all of the Squad Leaders were old as f*** Staff Sergeants. They seemed to be quite heavy on rank, whereas in the Marine Corps, rank was not nearly as important as ability to do the job, but the Marine Corps's ranks are younger as a whole, probably because not very many men are crazy enough to reenlist as a grunt after their first enlistment. In the Navy, it's hard to get people out because they all want to reenlist, but then again, they aren't humping 30 miles through the desert on a regular basis and sleeping in the mud with only a helmet for a pillow. The Army infantry gets my respect, though. Grunts are Grunts no matter what is sewn above their left breast pocket.

I knew a ww2 vet . He told me about his service in the Pacific. He was at Iwo Jima , the Philippines and several other islands. He was an army tank retriever. He said he’d carry a rifle again if he had to for his country. He was 83 when he said that. I was amazed at his patriotism and willingness . Those men were everything a soldier can be. He was poor and divorced when I knew him and he worked on people’s cars to earn extra money. He used to lay on the ground on cold winter days fixing them. And then only charge people 10 dollars. It was enough to buy a meal for that day. I’ve tried to emulate him, but he was far and away a better man than me.

The mission was to fire on the enemy opposing the Marine landings on the beaches below.[6] They were soon pinned down by heavy Japanese fire, and engaged in non-stop fighting for 3 months. Once the island was declared secure, the regiment was ostensibly there to act as a garrison force, but they soon found themselves locked in a bitter struggle against thousands of stalwart defenders engaging in a last-ditch guerilla campaign to harass the Americans.[7] Using well-supplied caves and tunnel systems, the Japanese resisted American advances. For three months, the 147th methodically scoured the island, using flamethrowers, grenades, and satchel charges to ferret out the enemy. 1,602 Japanese were officially credited as killed, and 867 captured, with potentially thousands more sealed up in caves using explosives. Some sources credit the regiment with killing at least 6,000 Japanese soldiers in those anonymous and merciless small unit actions.[7] In return, the 147th suffered fifteen men killed in action and 144 wounded.[8] Not many people know that.

They Army fought at: Philippines, Okinawa, Saipan, Peleliu, Guam, Iwo Jima, Guadalcanal, Papua New Guinea, Burma, Aleutian Islands Sadly, a lot of Army stories in that theater are pretty much forgotten about. The Marines' role is much more famous, because they're more PR conscious and some of their battles were exceptionally bloody. But that was actually a criticism of the Navy/Marine Corps by the Army during WW2. Island hopping was a Navy/USMC obsession, many Army top brass thought those island were not worth the price. They wanted to focus on big real estate and crushing Japan's ground forces. If the Marine Corps didn't exist, the Army would never have agreed to commit large ground forces to seizing shit like Tarawa and Iwo Jima, although Peleliu was an Army fuckup.

I have a marine buddy in my guard unit as infantry, he said it's all the same sh*t

I served in both active duty Army and Active Duty Marine Corps, both times in the infantry. I the Army I was a 11B infantryman in the 10th Mountain Div. and as an 0331 machine gunner in the 1st Marine Division, so I have a unique insight into this. Yes, they both locate, close with and destroy the enemy through fire and maneuver BUT they are both very different. Everything from equipment, training, leadership, comradery and mission. Even the lingo is totally different. I will state this as fact, that I got better training, more schools and better deployments in the Marines - no joke. We were almost always training and doing useful things in the Corps. In the Army I probably spent 75% of my time in the barracks playing Play Station. The one big difference in training (not counting deployments - that's a a whole nother ball of wax), was that in the Marines we trained Monday - Friday and I almost had every weekend off. Other than Jungle Warfare School and a couple of CAX in 29 Palms at the Battalion level, we never spent more than 5 days out in the field. In the Army though we would go out for 2 - 3 weeks straight at a time. That part SUCKED! In my opinion both do a great job at what they do (for the most part) but if had to go back in it would be the Marines without a doubt. This is also true, I still talk to a lot guys I served with in the Corps on a weekly basis and I have not talked to one - not one soldier that I served with in the Army since I got out. That's the culture difference.

@@elevenb6967 The Marine Corps is the same across the board when it comes to the type of units. So all infantry units will have the same mentality, training, and esprit de corps. The only thing that will differ is leadership competency. I’ve worked with different infantry units in the Army and it’s like I was working with a different military each time. Each unit had a different mentality, different training, and different espirit de corps. I worked with dudes from 2/327 “No Slack” out of Ft. Campbell and they felt extraordinarily different from the soldiers from 10th Mountain from Ft. Drum and the other guys from Ft. Polk. So it makes sense that as far as training, effectiveness, and camaraderie are involved there’s a variance when it comes to Army units. Basically what I’m saying is that you will have very different experiences being in one Army infantry unit versus another. But that isn’t the case in the Marine Corps. Every unit feels the same. I’m pretty sure it’s by design. The only exception I’ll make is 1/7 Charley or “Suicide Charley”. But they’re the only exception. Chris Kyle’s (famous SEAL sniper) opinion is similar to mine “ When you’re working with Army and Marine Corps units, you immediately notice a difference. The Army is pretty tough, but their performance can depend on the individual unit. Some are excellent, filled with hoorah and first-class warriors. A few are absolutely horrible; most are somewhere in between. In my experience, Marines are gung ho no matter what. They will all fight to the death. Every one of them just wants to get out there and kill. They are bad-ass, hard-charging mothers.”

@@LLTactical So, are you seriously telling me, that there are absolutely no shitbirds in the USMC? I find that EXTREMELY hard to believe. The MC is literally a FRACTION of the size of the Army. 70% of them, are pogs. It stands to reason that a good percentage of them (combat arms) will be hard chargers. And say what you want about the 'every Marine is a rifleman' thing. I said that to an 0311 friend of mine last year, at Thanksgiving dinner, and he's STILL laughing. In the Army, even if the unit is less than stellar, you will always have killers within the ranks. Lastly, did you read Kyle's book, from cover to cover?

How can I pull the Larry David in "Curb Your Enthusiasm" in a comment section?

He did a good a good job on this. As a USMC Desert Storm Mortarman, I always wondered how the Army infantry was organized. Semper Fi to all the branches!!

Thanks for putting this together! I was a Marine mortarman a while back (I was in boot camp 47 years ago as I type this in November 2023, and finished what was then called ITS, Infantry Training School, at Camp San Onofre aboard Camp Pendleton in January 1977.) It's always interesting to see what has changed and what hasn't in almost half a century. After ITS I served in the 3rd Marine Division in K Co., 3/4, at Camp Hansen on Okinawa, and then in the 1st Marine Division in the 81mm mortar platoon, which was then in H&S Company, in 3/1 at Camp Horno within Camp Pendleton. I changed MOS fields when I reenlisted and went into data systems, but I got commissioned just shy of the nine year mark, so I went through OCS and TBS at Quantico: TBS was mostly 6 months of basic infantry leadership school with a brief familiarization with a lot of other MOS fields mixed in. Just as every Marine is expected to be a rifleman first, every Marine officer is expected to be an infantry unit leader first. Anyone who completed TBS is expected to be capable of taking over an infantry platoon or company on no notice and leading it competently. Bottom line, when I look at the equipment and training of the Marine infantry of today, I get really jealous comparing it to what we had. The only Marines who had optics on rifles were scout-snipers; everyone else had the basic iron sights. We didn't have MCMAP, night vision equipment, suppressors, GPS, and quite a few other things. When I reached 3/4 after ITS, we still used the World War II leftover canvas packs, guaranteed to cut off the circulation to your arms in minutes. When all that is combined with the modern Corps' overall levels of experience, skills development, I'm pretty sure that if the Marine grunts of my day had to fight their counterparts from today, the modern Marines would eat us alive. Then, Valhalla-style, we'd probably all get drunk and talk trash afterward. That's one of the things that I doubt will ever change.

The strategic function of the Marine Corps is attack. In a large-scale conventional war against a near-peer opponent, we would take the ports the army needs to bring their big toys to the fight, then hand it over to them and move on to another objective. That's in no way saying "the army can't/doesn't attack" and it's disingenuous to claim that's what's being said. Of course the army is capable of conducting offensive operations.

Marines usually join the Army because the Marines don’t think highly of people who get out and try to come back in. You usually lose rank and if you’ve been out over a year, you’d be lucky if they take you back. If a soldier left the Army for the Marines, they’d start from scratch, which is why it is rare. Funding in the Marines isn’t as bad pre Afghanistan war and I don’t think there’s much if anything conventional Army has over Marines. Marines are using the M27 with silencers and some have opscore, which is SOF level equipment. Deployed more for the Army than Marines, I doubt it. Marine infantry is way smaller and they have standing MEU deployments outside direct combat ones. Marines were the lead in Fallujah, Najaf, and were a large part in Ramadi.

That Army recruiting add still makes me sick. Former Army 35-L. Joint Chiefs but hole banger Milley thought that one up. Fitting.

Not at all a competitive post here because the Marines are phenomenal. Just a point of clarification: the Army is not primarily an occupation force. Occupation is a portion of the Army’s mission set. It’s more accurate to say that the Army is designed to conduct forcible entry operations (whether airborne, armored,etc.), then to conduct long term, sustained combat operations, whereas the Marine Corps is only designed for short term assault operations. That doesn’t mean the Army occupies things the Marines take (which is how you framed it in the video). That means the Army attacks into enemy territory and keeps pushing through it, past the point where the Marines are no longer able to sustain themselves. The Army is also designed/equipped to fight heavier enemy forces than the Marines. The Marines are 100% more proficient at light infantry assaults than the Army is, but light infantry assaults only make up a portion of the Army’s mission set. For illustrative context here, the Army conducted the primary breaches through the fortifications into Fallujah because we had those capabilities and the Marines didn’t because they were lighter, then the Marines followed through the breach and both forces then began to simultaneously clear their own objectives throughout the city.

So that means the Marines are a quick respond force and can only sustain initial phase of the operation?

I have served in both, Marine Infantry and Army Infantry, earning both the CAR & CIB. Marines receive a lot more training in basic and advanced infantry training. When assigned to an infantry unit they will continue with intense advance training. It never stops and there are many deployments. Though soldiers receive less initial basic and advanced infantry training, when assigned to their units they receive intense advanced training. As an army squad leader and platoon sergeant, I made sure my Soldiers were well Trained and ready for combat 🇺🇸

What more training do marines receive in basic, than their army counterparts? Specifically.

I went to join the Marines in 1984 however,I had a GED and at the time you needed a diploma to join.i dropped out and got a GED to join not knowing I couldn't.i ended up in the army and I am glad I did!! I went to better stations I went to air assault school, airborne, combat leadership coarse (pre ranger) and ranger school.my last assignment was 7th infrantry div light at fort ORD.i know I had a much better career than I would of in the corp.i trained with many Marines at different schools and they solidified my opinion.

The myth about the marines being the first in and the army taking over needs to be put to rest. Both forces have their perspective attributes to bring to the battlefield. However, the Army has always been and will always be the main invasion force since it is the largest organization within within U.S. military, has the most man power, and the better technology and funding out of the two. The marines are an amphibious based invasion forces. Although they play a large combat role in mainland areas, they are not the primary warfighting forces for mainland combat.

Thats what no one else got-we need the entire army to operate and do our job. And, when you cant do yours-we step in to get it done. We dont do sick call, we dont call it a day at 1700, we have to be fully capable of doing all kinds of jobs at any moment. As you pointed out, we grunts in the Army had similar stuff: land nav, radio, medical quals (I was a combat lifesaver, which was a pre-medic medic, I guess you would call it, lol), call in 9 lines, call for fire from navy ships, planes, helicopters, arty, or mortars-sometimes from foreign countries; develop intel, gather intel, understand local cultures, and thats just some of the shit off the top of my head.
