The pilots were conducting routine weapons and tactics training in Arizona when the crash occurred, the Marine Corps said, but the cause is still under investigation.

For all you fuckin little pussies who can get your asses kicked by a grunt. it WAS A TRAINING EXCERSIZE!! MARINES NEVER STOP TRAINING!! Here in Yuma AZ, we have WTI: WEAPONS & TACTICAL INSTRUCTION TRAINING! This excersize is held 2x a year (this one is WTI 2 – 19) and is always done in March/April & Sept/Oct. It lasts 7 weeks. They do a final public display at the end of training which is usually a scenario of extrication of civilians from enemy territory or taking an enemy stronghold and extrication of fellow Marines (other Marines dressed as civis with colored armband for identification from REAL Yuma citizens). They have MP's, medics, Galaxy plane (for air to ground satellite communication, radar & logistics) along with medics, chopper pilots (both fighter & rescue). The same is done in the Brawley/El Centro area in California. They include units from other airstations like Pendelton, 29 Palms, Cherry Point. These are our sons & daughters that are willing to DIE regardless of home or abroad, in peacetime or at war. One of the pilots, a Major who specialized in the Viper helicopter (new version of a Cobra) as well as the Cobra, was with MAWTS-1 (MARINE AIR WING TACTICAL SQUADRON 1).
We just had our local MCAS-YUMA AIR SHOW in which these 2 brave men took part of informing the public about the role that they play in the Marine Corps.
I see these young men & women fly over my house EVERY FUCKIN DAY!! THEY ARE PART OF OUR COMMUNITY AND WE LOVE THEM AS IF THEY WERE OUR OWN SONS & DAUGHTERS!! They are incredible people who do a thankless job at times. They leave their families, sometimes miss the birth of their own children to protect every American. And the moment they board that bus for Parris Island or Mirimar, the moment they graduate from boot camp, they are our heroes.
I ask a this time that you think before you say something stupid or vulgar about these 2 brave men who died so we may continue to have the freedoms we have. You're talking about 2 men much braver than myself and some of you reading this. You're talking about someones dead husband, some childs dead father. So have some GODDAMN RESPECT FOR THEM!! PRAY FOR THEM! THANK THEM! YUMA LOVES THEIR MARINES AND ALWAYS FUCKIN WILL!!!
CUZ I DO EVERY GODDAMN DAY OF MY LIFE!
OOH RAH! SEMPER FIDELIS!!
One of them was my cousin's son, who was killed. His wife just had a baby. Just devastating.
How in the H*** did live ammo get loaded? How is it possible to mistaken, rubberized pain balls?!? 🙁 🙁 Blades able to handle that payload?
Every military shouldn't be a responsibility to check all different aircraft where they have at before they move or take off offline because always make sure of safety safety is the number one concern of the military need to come first before that take off or move because you would never know that any types of equipment that are the military have is just like a not people that are not checking every girl or not check your responsibility or even how going to respond of different aircraft that the in vehicles in the near future will be a disaster or a mount function but only time will tell and
PS I'm just a handicap I am I don't know you you don't know me so let's move on to a better future
hoax
Two rotor heads vs aliens
CO to media it was a “Training exerciseâ€ÂÂ
April fools!
Rip heroes
Made in china
"killed in a training exercise" isnt that what they always say ?
Fake news. Trump's helicopters are crash proof. He built them with the best parts. Those marines were illegals that bought them with drug money.
My brother was one of the 5 marines that went missing in Japan waters in December 2018. He was in the kc-130 which was stuck by a jet during refueling exercises…. My heart goes out to those marines and those families! In my thoughts and prayersâ¤︠SEMPERFI MARINES! Oohrah!
Two killers died. Good
Dying in flight training but wait aren't they top flight? People make fun of Africans dying in a faulty plane crash but cant survive training
Don’t get too cocky.
Haha good one👠April fools right?…….right……plz
Thank you for your service? Or at least trying to serve…
rest in peace brothers
Someone doing something they want suppose too. Something tells me this reports are mostly false as well and the default response a training accident.
⚓🇺🇸 rip brothers
Lolololololololol
OMG….RIP Marines…oooorrraahh..love from a retired Marine wife…
All of these aircraft related accidents are out of control. The Defense Department has billions of dollars but are putting lives at risk with shoddy machines. Ridiculous
The thought of losing these Marines is unbearable.RIP mates.
Rest In Peace
80%!!! Cut the DOD's budget by that much until they get their shit strait. This are US soldiers, totally unacceptable.
