What a gentleman, opening the door for his soul to walk in first 🤣

[Skybound]

He's a human being we all get startled from time to time

[thecatfather]

Why is everyone assuming he has PTSD and this is giving him flashbacks? Thunder and lightning THAT close would startle anyone.

[utsavsingh]

What a gentleman. He opened the door for his soul.

[nataliepan]

I bet the Marine was like "nope you can send me out in the heat, spending me out of the sea, or fighting a war but I don't get pay enough getting hit by lightning."

[bking]

Omg I love him. He’s still so professional the entire time. However, what if he was just going to the bathroom?

[katburkhill]

Nothing funny about that . He was extremely dignified on his exit . I would have ran like the clappers .

[arielsea]

He let the imaginary person in and followed to assist in a very dignified manner.

Classiest "Nope. I'm out." You'll ever see

[GDoggGio]

thst was the most militant 'f this sht im out' 😂

[Elijah-Bravo]

He really said “ight, imma head out” 😂

[wiseferret]

Considering how quickly the sound went away, that was actually a very strong bolt of lightning.

[hamiam]

Yea this happened to me once 50 meters away, your soul gets shook. No one’s more powerful than Mother Nature.

I was swimming underwater in a pool at night. Suddenly the entire pool went bright yellow. I was out of the pool faster than the marine went inside. There was a 30 foot tall metal structure near the pool. I'm glad the pool had its own lightning rod. It happened over 20 years ago. I remember it like it was 5 minutes ago.

[IdaMariana]

Ohhh. I salute him for staying composed. I'd have run in. Well done I say! Not funny though, I felt for him. Anyone would have done the same just not as classy 🤗

[unyieldingabyss]

That does not look like the same man! I agree, he handled that well. God bless him!

[Propaineva]

Sentries: Nothing scares me 😎

Zeus: Are you sure about that?

[errolneal]

He kindly opened the door for his pride to walk through first lol. I'd do the same!

[quynhbom]

He’s so cute, and he is very serious in his work

[gable]

How about talking about the marines that died today instead of posting “funny reactions”. Plus this marine has likely been in war and definitely around gun fire. He’s probably even seen his friends die. This is not funny.
