Methinks that at least the Marine Corps is getting the message that there is a new sheriff in town...

New ad is really well done. Focus on being a warrior. And how you have to earn an EGA.

The new ad catch phrase is excellent:

"You don't join the Marines. You become one."

Nicely done USMC advertising and recruiting folks! Finally, aiming at the kids who want to become Marines for the right reasons!

Their advertising strategy hasn't changed much at all through the years, even when other services were going completely off the fucking rails (Emma has two moms...wtf)

I do have to give it to the Army, it's youtube ads in the last six months or so are hyperfocused on the Army doing Army shit and not so much social engineering.

If I learned one thing in my years with Uncle Sugar - Eat the Apple- Fuck the Corps .

Taught me a lot about not dying - some about killing - the boys I served with are my brothers as much as my biological brother . But fuck them, now that WW3 is almost unavoidable they need a bunch of poor farms kids from middle America and Appalachia again. Fuck you Uncle Sugar - to little to little to late . Even if you give my cousin all his back pay and rank from when you threw him out for not taking the ClotShot. Even then I’ll never let another family member- any young man I know ever join , even to the point of spiking his farewell drink so he fails the first piss test .

I could swear that I once saw a vid of a female Marine DI leading cadence and singing about slavey, blah, blah, blah. All I could think about is that it was a lousy way to make Marines.

I cannot find the video, now.

Way back in the day it was different. I still seen plenty of “grown men” that couldn’t cut it.

Think 20 or so years ago way back when, not two. My point is there is always going to be part of a group that pushes the rest of the group past their capabilities repeatedly. It does many things, many of them needed to create change and self correct a course

just some random,prob stupid,comments. i think training intensity should be increased to years in the past. not to pre ribbon creek levels but maybe to 1960-90 levels. what i hear is a lot of woke BS added to the training. don't know if that is true. seems to me that the MC will never be at it's past high levels until the army does the same. '90/'91 the army was unbeatable. the MC is really just an adjunct. ie highly trained and motivated somewhat specialized troops-amphib,air assault,etc in relatively small numbers compared to army. ie 3-5 divisions with limited short term very intense missions,like in ww2. seems to me the big strategic level missions should be army like overlord or torch. using more highly trained troops to make up for deficiencies in a big army is wasteful and has cost higher casualties in more elite units. happens with paras as well i have seen. germans,italians and russians did that in ww2 as well.
anyway,just questionable ideas.

I've always said the Marine Corps is the most cerebral of the services... Yeah, ok... Crayon jokes...

But the Marines are the smallest, least-funded branch and yet they have always been out at the front of strategic planning and innovation. Pete Ellis in the 1930's developing amphibious operations when the rest of the world (post-Gallipoli) said it was impossible and a waste of time. Planning for taking on Japan while the rest of the world said they are not a threat... under Commandant Thomas Holcomb... who also was a pioneer of the Raiders and the Para-Marines... before Special Operations were really a thing. They were at the forefront of helicopter assaults (well, so was the Army...). Scout Sniper training under AA Vandegrift... taking the WW1 methods to whole new levels. Late WW2 through Vietnam, they revolutionized close air support and are still the absolute masters of it (why the USAF didn't give all its A-10's to the Marines is beyond me... those guys know how to use them properly!!) And while the first 'code talkers' were used at a very limited level by the Army in WW1, the Marines revived and made tremendous use of Code Talkers in WW2, actively recruiting native Americans at a time when many were trying to stamp out their languages. Through the Cold War they were always among the first in the fight anywhere... AND they knew how to use the new media of Hollywood and Television to make "Being a Marine" something aspirational to America's youth. In the 1990's they were the leads in non-lethals development... and Information Operations... now the hottest thing in the military. Through the 2000's they have been 'in the fight' at an operational tempo that is hitting far above their weight class with only a handful of divisions. And they remain committed to 'outsourcing the logistics and transport' to other branches. And staying focused on fighting.

When you are small, under-funded and constantly having the Navy or the Army try and absorb you or make your mission irrelevant, you learn to innovate. And you are at the front of military thought and theory while not being afraid to change the "American Way of War."

It was said after the flag went up on Iwo Jima that "This will guarantee a Marine Corps for the next 200 years... " Well, I'd argue that Marines being smart and unafraid to innovate... will guarantee a Marine Corps for as long as there is a US of A.

I've not earned the right to say "Semper Fi" to all you Marines out there. So I'll just say... Well done and keep up the good work.

Negative, Ghost Rider. The USCG is the smallest branch of the military. And I'll stand by that. I'm fairly certain the Corps is funded a bit more than they are. Carry on, you're dismissed. 😘🤜

Department of homeland security doesn’t count…

But fair enough.

USMC is the smallest and least funded combat arms branch….

Though I bet those spiffy orange ships and fancy choppers ain’t cheap! But still funded by DHS…

;-)

PS. I know… they are a hybrid. Sort of like a Prius!

PPS… my old roommate is a USCGR admiral. Taking the piss out of him is kind of a hobby! So there!

Coast Guard had highest per capita percentage of members that refused the injected substance. Close to 6%.

Marines were next at just over 5% so they were the service with numerically the most resistors of the injected substance.

Not counting Guard as they are so diversified and spread out.

Army, Navy and AF are sub-retard cucks figuring at 1% or less.

It's all in good fun. ;) Besides, arguing over military branches is like trying to measure your penis with a micrometer.....It doesn't really accomplish much. There's only one part of the CG that I like......A selfless aircrew, boatcrew & boarding team. The rest is just complete bullshit.
