The Grand Canyon speech at the end really feels like a great description for the events of the Pacific... you can't explain it, you have to experience it!

This is one of my favorite episodes of the whole show, and episode 9 once you get to it.

Good observation about the series making the distinction between fresh marines versus marines who have been there. Those who have been there do come across more hardened. Also, the subtle expressions you commented on = good acting/directing. We had short rains (e.g., 3-5 minute afternoon shower w/sunshine) in SE Texas/SW Louisiana -- almost a tropical feel. We were given salt pills 45 years ago during high school football practice in the Texas August heat. Salt pills were misapplied and overused back then. Salt pills can actually worsen dehydration, especially when little or no water is available.

I used to take salt pills regularly when I was still a welder during the summer months. It’s used to help retain water to prevent/lessen dehydration.

For real. Engraved in my mind, especially when they open the ramp on the ship and they reveal the chaos, with the music, their faces, absolute cinema

I like the little shower they get when they hit the water 🚿

Ah yeah Lite, as for the "What's the mentality behind this?" here i can give an explanation for "the girl who has not been in the Marines". No it's not an actual dislike , you've got this one right but for the more hardened ones behaving with the fresh like this i would say this a way of not getting too close or attached to them (goes without saying) . And also try to test their mental strength and the ability of keeping their cool when the the experienced try to get under their skin, the longer it takes the lower the trust of hardened will be when they have to rely on the fresh ones in combat so they won't get them killed or get killed themselves . That's how what it's like in being in a men exclusive company which women will never understand (no offense here Teegan i'm just saying it like it is) and especially if the company of the men is a place like the military, doesn't necessarily have the to be the Marine Corps, just the military in general, you have to EARN the trust and the respect of the men who have been there with time, and most important, actions. Even though you might stumble upon nicer guys so most if not all mentioned above won't be necessary if you are lucky enough. For me the social part of integration was a nightmare compare to the physical part of the integration, i made it through even faster and better than i expected, the social was hard because my ability to connect with people is extremely limited, because i'm very silent and introverted person i still am even after in civil life, daily lifestyle, the military certainly service did not change that in me. Basically I'm telling you that from personal experience, but just to make things clear i did not serve in Marine Corps nor did i serve U.S Army because i'm not an American, but in the country where i live (I ain't telling which country exactly from just to keep trolls & keyboard warriors scum from trying to politicize everything, i have zero tolerance for politicization). In my home country once a man reaches the age of 18 he must serve 3 years , i did from 18 to 21 and after that a reserve service 36 day (average) a year until a certain age (40 and above), Refuse = Jail. In addition, in our society it's perceived as a civil and a moral duty, you have civil duties as equally as you have rights, that's is basically it and we had our memorial day too almost a month ago in 30th of April. This where i've got pretty much through a similar experience as Eugene Sledge in terms of integration (Social) so i can sort of relate to the new Marines in that regard, but if something here is unique to the U.S Marines that is not for me to tell, you'll get that info from other Patrons who live in the U.S and served in the USMC if there is any here. Well, to wrap the up the wall of text above (excuse me if that was too long and annoying) i just put a lot of thought into it to answer and explain in the most detailed way i can, btw good review keep it up, you just met a new very interesting character Merriell "Snafu" Shelton, looking forward to the next episodes, Semper Fi .👍

And here we are, welcome to "The Forgotten Hell" Teegan! . This is the episode where my favorite part of the show begins. I'm gonna say just one thing for the sake of keeping the show as spoiler free as possible, "Hell" is a pure understatement for The Battle of Peleliu. From the actual real historical perspective the conditions, circumstances and the Japanese fanatical resistance on that Island, things were overwhelmingly worse and gruesome than the shows portrays because some things are just impossible to replicate, enjoy the horrors of war!

*Movie within a Movie Alert* For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943)… starring Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman, based on the Ernest Hemingway novel (1940), which Hemingway wrote with Gary Cooper in mind. He was destined to play the part. Great Film! The famous woman that Anna Torv (Fringe) played, was Hollywood film actress, Virginia Grey. She appeared in over 100 films from the 30s thru the 60s. See… Idiot’s Delight (1939), also with a young Burgess Meredith (Mickey). Another Thin Man (1939), the third film in the very popular classic Thin Man series of 6 films. The first being, The Thin Man (1934). Highly Recommended. The Women (1939), starring Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford and Rosalind Russell. The cast of this film was entirely female. Not a single man in the film. Over a hundred on the cast list. Remade in 2008, with an All-Star cast, lead by Meg Ryan, and again featuring an all female cast. The 1939 original is Highly Recommended. Whistling in the Dark (1941), the first of 3 screwball comedy/mystery thrillers starring comedian Red Skelton as the crime show radio host, “The Fox.” Very funny! Strangers in the Night (1944), an awesome film noir mystery, directed by Anthony Mann (a name to remember. Awesome catalog of films) Highly Recommended.

Seargant, not sargent. And they showed the NCOs plenty. Bergen was a corporal.

FNGs get such a ribbing because they are most likely to screw up... But it is also a tradition in the Corps. There is a legend that when the Corps was first formed and the first marines were reporting to the Navy ship.... The second one got there and the man that was already there told him something along the lines of 'Your lucky you got here now.... You should have seen how tough it was when I got here.' LOL Ok, so one of the things that I am disappointed in with this show is they fail to mention or explain what the oil barrels were all about. They use it as more character development of SNAFU. Which is fine, but that is not the significance of those barrels. Some higher authority, for whatever reason, decided that they would use the oil drums to hold drinking water. So in true marine corps fashion, they got a bunch of guys together, told them to scrub and clean the drums, did NOT tell them this would be their only drinking water for several days in 100 degree heat, and then did not check to make sure that they did a proper job in cleaning the drums. So they got to the beach and the drinking water they had counted on was all contaminated and could not be used. So they basically had to wait until the ships could purify enough sea water and move it ashore to get the Marines drinking water. Duck Boats..... The proper name is LVT or Landing Vehicle Tracked. Also known as Amphibious Tractors. They were first used (I believe) at Tarawa as they were designed to drive up over coral reefs and other obstacles along the beech and then drive up onto the sand. Rather than dropping the marines off at the water line like you would in a higgins boat say.

Crazy cause leckie was in church in episode 1 before he shipped out. Sledge said f it and went even with his heart problem

16:15 - it's like that one gentleman said in the interviews for band of brothers. You don't wanna get friendly with the replacements because they're always the first to die. That's pretty much the sum of it.
