deployments supporting or involved in actual operations are a lot more intense, on my deployments we worked 12 hour shifts minimum, 7 days a week for over 7 months a piece

I was on ship during the whole pandemic last year. Most boring time ever we stopped once in Guam for like 2 days but we couldn’t get off lol. We did nothing all day but stay in the berthing. It was a nightmare I was on there for 6 weeks. We were so bored started playing hide and seek throughout the ship.

Content is fire 🔥🔥💪 ⛽️

Dope videos bro

Your channel is really smooth. However, I never see any photos or videos of you when your deployed. Are you allowed to take a little camera with you when your deployed?

Wow - I was in the Navy - spent 5 years on ships - this represents absolutely nothing of my deployments, however, our Marines were just riders and did very little except clog the chow lines and the gym. The Sailors run and maintain the ship. I am very grateful for the work that the Marines do, but on ships, they're riders and the Navy just moves them around to do their job (which they do exceptionally well).

Go over your experience after SOI and hitting the fleet. Especially as an infantryman, was there hazing, etc.?

No deployments are alike. My deployment we rarely had any contact, easy deployment according to the more experienced NCOs who had been in longer, and the contact we did have I wasn't there until the end of it anyway, was 5 minutes short of getting a CMB. Then you have stuff like that movie Restrepo. THAT is a tough deployment

Every Marine Corps applicant is technically open contract after swearing in at MEPS.After that you sit down with your recruiter and pick 3 jobs you're interested in. A lot of them are going to be job fields and not specific mos'. You can sign an infantry contract but that doesn't guarantee you 0311, 0331, 0341 etc. unless you're a reservist. Oh and God forbid you go open contract. Don't go open contract regardless of what they tell you...

Not in the service, but Marines are typically America's first response branch. They are an offensive branch that's goal is entirely in invasion. In recent years, they led pushes into places like Fallujah and many other parts of Iraq.
