I deeply respect the Master Gunnery Sergeant that stays the entire 30 years. I dearly love the bursting bomb added to the 3 chevron and 4 rockers. Field leaders help those Marines win a war. Semper Fi!

Wears me out just thinking about all that running. The Corps still whispers to me sometimes.

[timrowell]

my uncle was a master gunny sergeant in the tank corps. he served 1 tour in Korea and 2 in Viet nam. he was at The rock pile and kesan.

[thepatriot]

I hope to be a high rank in the Military one day

[Jstalhzet]

Only thing to think about is a Master Sergeant can serve as a First Sergeant, and a Master Gunnery Sergeant can serve as a Sergeant Major, but never the other way around. The video makes the the technical ranks (MSgt, MGySgt) seem lesser but I can guarantee you it’s almost never that way

[annfrost]

A Marine Warrant Officer 1 responsibilities include training soldiers?

[sgtjarhead]

I was a Sgt when I got out. I had to make CPL *twice* in order to get there though, if you know what I mean🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Fun times. Semper Fi, Bros.

The color is called "scarlet" not "maroon"

Towards the end of this item the narrator covers the emblem of the USMC. It’s interesting to note that if you change the eagle for a crown and display the other half of the globe then you have the emblem of the Royal Marines.

They missed one of the most unique ranks in the Marines, the Marine Gunner (Marine Weapons Officer). While the Marine Gunner is an W-O2, unlike an WO-1, which does not require a presidential appointment and can be granted to a Staff Sergeant, the Marine Gunner is a presidential appointment directly from Gunnery Sergeant to WO-2. Like the Sergeant Major of the Marines, the Marine Gunner rank insignia is different from a standard WO in that the Gunner wears a bar on one lapel, and the "Bursting Bomb" from the Gunnery Sergeant emblem on the other lapel. The Marine Gunner is one of the most highly respected officers in the Corp. They are weapons and tactics specialist and always have extensive combat experience. If things are not going right on the battlefield, a commanding officer will often dispatch a Gunner to see what is going on, because they know the Gunner will always get the straight story from the troops about what is going on, where the troops may not trust and regular O level officer to really comprehend the situation. What makes the Gunner extra unique is that the rank comes and goes. There is always a Sergeant Major of the Marine Corp, but the Marines usually only make a few Gunners when they need them (times of war) and in peace time, the rank can go away, and typically the Gunner will convert to an O level (Captain typically). Now in my day, WOs were often called "Gunner" and few would bother to correct an enlisted man on the error, but technically, only the Marine Weapons Officer is the only one that should be called Gunner, though again, in my day, it was very common for the troops to call any WO "Gunner." Standard WOs are typically technical specialists, but in the past, there were times that they were pilots and even had command functions in some instances. Now this is from a Marine that served from Vietnam until the fall of Saigon and longer, so maybe it is different now, but in my day, an Gunner was a very uncommon thing to see.

Both E8 are same rank, ones field, other is administrative, first is NOT over Master Gunny. E9 is tho.

[MyCareerRelatedVideos-xvdu]

First lieutenant goes back as first not as second lieutenant, all cries in final day parade if fails in training to achieve pass marks.

[Birch]

The Warrant Officer titles should follow Sargents.
Warrant Officer 1 and 2
First Warrant Officer
Master Warrant Officer
Chief Warrant Officer

[MNpolarbear]

There's four E9's. Where's USMC SEAC?

This is an ok vid ....I remember Lt. Gen being extremely rare in the Corps someone working at the pentagon not unheard of in the fleet but rare .... the Eagle Globe and Anchor represents freedom with the Eagle world service with the globe but it goes farther than that it has the Western Hemisphere on the globe and the British Royal Marines have the eastern hemisphere on theirs the two services interlocking in complement of each other or in direct Corporation of many missions throughout the history of the two the anchor definitely represents the association with the Navy after all it's where Marine Corps got started as Sharpshooters before the United States was even a country serving in ship masts but in a much more straightforward answer to that question where the paychecks come from Marine Corps is funded through the United States Maybe however they are the "PRESIDENT'S OWN" vessel that he can do with what what he sees fit without answering to Congress technically separating them from the US Armed Forces and isolating them too to whatever the President's perogative May be oh so that puts them as security Force 4 all US embassies and diplomatic Outpost including Air Force 1 green 1 Etc The cross on top of the officers cover still represents that to this day I've never heard of it being credited to them being amphibious the eagle globe and anchor has been around since way before the Marines ever did any amphibious Beach assaults

Someone should've explained to you that officers have ranks, enlisted personnel have rates. It's that simple.

[tonyparete]

Accurate video, but kinda strange that it's narrated by a British woman.

Brigadier General rank effects bad whole world, one of the reason is Space jump training happens with Brigadier. No Brigadier cannot seems to be general rank. I did research by Seymour Cray Brigadier General rank effects collides every thing and for training structure and effects of training in brigadier and General rank different like two different state in mind anti reverse. That's why conflicts occurs in whole world. That's why I and all countries leaders and in the time of Obama we stopped this rank in whole world. Also rank batch looks like half lieutenant. Good. I was also cadet in your academy to fulfill all training of all branches of defense of USA to be a Field Marshal. - Thank you all.
