Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Marines in the Making is a 1942 short film (nine minutes) directed by Herbert Poelsie and produced by Pete Smith.It's a propaganda film about, well, the Marines. The film is a documentary about Marine training. We see Marine recruits engaging in calisthenic-type training, doing stuff like running in formation and swinging over obstacles on ropes. The recruits go through bayonet practice, and then engage in various forms of hand-to-hand combat training. Finally, a senior Marine officer arrives for their graduation ceremony, a recruit recites the "Rifleman's Creed", and the film ends. | |

Combat Pragmatist | |
| Marines In The Making / int_49fb5ccb | comment |
Combat Pragmatist: Discussed Trope. Pete Smith's narration says "To save their lives, they must fight foul, just like their opponents fight." This is followed by scenes of Marines practicing how to sneak up on a sentry from behind and choke him to death. | |

Brief Accent Imitation | |
| Marines In The Making / int_be6f7ae7 | comment |
Brief Accent Imitation: A little casual racism as Smith discusses how the Americans learned the art of using bamboo sticks in combat from the Japanese, which he follows by saying "Ah so" in a terrible Japanese accent. | |

| Marines In The Making / int_ed503b22 | comment |
Match Cut: It's mentioned that one of the drill instructors, Dick Hanley, was a football coach at Northwestern. This is followed by a shot of football players conducting one-on-one drills, which cuts to a near-identical scene of Marine recruits doing one-on-one drills. | |
