Americans are enormously proud and respectful of the Marines. Doesn't matter who you are, or if you served. It's a bad day if you have to face a United States Marine in battle.

“Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But the Marines don't have that problem.” -- Ronald Reagan

I was an absolutely horrid teen who was involved in drugs, burglary, and street racing. I joined the Army in 1981 and basic training turned me around immediately upon graduation. I was a high school dropout who now has 2 masters degrees and have retired from a successful career as an aerospace engineer. The military experience turned my life around and I am incredibly thankful for the experience.

From my experience as a Marine that video skips a bunch of the far tougher things that you go through in boot camp. Joining the Marines changed my life. I was a college student living off of mom and dad with a .5 GPA. Worked as a short order cook at a 24/7 fast food restaurant. Joined the Corps, learned what hard work really is, what discipline is, 5 years later I used my Post 9/11 Gi Bill and graduated with honors from a pretty prestigious college . Now I have a great job making really good money, the title of United States Marine that I will never lose, and the respect of my community. I served from 2003-2008

I did 32 1/2 years in the Marine Corps! The empathy shown in your daughters awesome parenting

[jamesdoherty]

The proudest day of my life was when my drill instructor handed my me EGA and called me a marine for the first time. Bootcamp was hell but I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat. Semper Fi

I am a USMC veteran. I went to bootcamp at Parris Island SC from Dec 85-mar86. My platoon was in the 5th series of women to qualify on the M16A2 rifle. Serving in the Marine Corps is an honor I will carry with me the rest of my life.

[usakiwigirl]

It was a bit of a shock to my little Kiwi heart to marry a Marine, but it’s been a hell of a ride. He did a full 20 years, and is proud to be a Mustang - an enlisted Marine who earned a commission. Living on bases was always fun (my accent helped!). Marines are some of the most loyal and kind people I’ve ever known. I treasure every Marine friend I’ve made over the past 30-plus years.

[itscurtains]

My son just graduated the Marine Corps on September 3 we were at Paris Island South Carolina for his graduation I’ve never been more proud and what they go through is truly hell

[countycalling]

The true love of my life my first husband became a Marine. He was an amazing guy before but after becoming a Marine he became the best man I have ever known. We started dating when I was 14, and married when I was 17 just before he went to Lebanon. The love of my life never returned, we were married less than 6 mts before I lost him, I was 3mts pregnant when he was killed, he never got to see his son. I am now in my middle 50s, and still miss him, I remarried a great guy, we raised our boys together. My son became a Marine just like his father, and he will retire a Marine. I couldn’t be prouder I know his father is proud also

[lisajohnson]

My father and my brother were both marines. My father taught me the marine corps song when I was a little girl. I sang it at his burial recently as he passed December 27, 2021, two days after Christmas. He lived his life by the marine corps motto which is semper fi which means always faithful.

[darinbauman]

I went through that straight out of high school in 1984. Watching this brings back a lot of memories. I actually went to Camp Pendleton in San Diego. To this day, I am proud to be a Marine. Once a Marine, always a Marine! Oorah!

[manymusings]

My daughter went through this training and is a United States Marine. I'm so proud of her.

[Tommy]

lol your daughter is adorable! yes, sweetheart: we do laugh. :D

[vishe]

Becoming a Marine was one of the best feelings that I have ever experienced. There’s no way to describe it other than to go through it!

[jamest]

many members of my family have honorably served our country with a great sense of pride and honor for serving our country, my grandfather fought in WW2, my father fought in Vietnam, my cousin served as a navy seal, my older brother served in the army, I served 4 years in the army and then 4 years in the navy. I alway saw serving as an honored thing all the men in my family have done for generations. I almost forgot about my other cousin who served in the airforce .

[edfoster]

As a Marine I enjoyed this.
One thing to consider is that once you earn the title Marine, you are a Marine for life.

[ronnievowell]

As a retired Marine, I appreciate this video. Becoming a United States Marine was so important to me and I am honored to be a member of this group of America’s finest men and women.
Yes it is illegal to abandon your post and you will be charged with desertion.

[bostonchampagne]

I’m an army vet and I must say hats off to marines. Basic training was tough but those men and women are a different breed.

[denzilabrahams]

The way that girl answered that question "To server their country". That gives me hope right there. I was watching the reaction of these kids the entire video. Their reactions are so honest and forthcoming.
