This channel should be mandatory viewing for high school kids. Profound stuff. Thanks for taking the time, brother.
Thats whats up
I agree bro!
@@tcavofficial I am a Chinook Mechanic too TCAV!!! 67U10 3 years full-time!!!
Maybe you could go in schools and talk to them about choices and consequences and set up some kind of foundation dedicated to supporting troubled teens.
I totally agree !! I think kids would listen to him !!
I am a black American (not that it matters) who retired from the US Marine Corp. I only tell you this as I want you to know the diversity of your followers, I have an 12 year old grandson and he watches your video with me. Good stuff your putting out, keep up the good work Brother.
We're all the same color here bro!👊🏼
As they told us in the Corps, 'we all green'... :)
As they say; it’s not how you start, but how you finish. It looks like you are on a good trajectory to finish well. I have a little over a decade on you, but I can definitely relate to how things were back in the day. Your message of positivity and self reflection is much needed in today’s world. Much respect!
👊🏼
I’m a U.S. Infantry Marine. You’re exactly the type of leader I want to look up to. I write down a lot of your quotes in my notes app. Thank you for helping me become a wiser man. I texted my aunt asking for my moms number and going to go see my little sister at my dads house because of you. “Better to live in peace than in the most right.”
That's what's up bro. Yo brother let's get you on the full system. You sound ready. Email me: tcavofficial@gmail.com
Was it Bill who said, "Do you want to be happy or do you want to be Right"?
I’m a 20 year Air Force guy who is almost 60. This guys screams accoununtability and ownership in every message. Thank you!
👊🏼
I’m 75 years old and I must say you’re wise beyond your years. Love your perspective on life.
Thank you mate. I watched this one and decided to call my oldest sister and end the 10 year disagreement we've been having. In doing that my mother called me to tell me how happy that made her and I just about broke down. I told you way back in your early videos that you arrived on the scene just in time, and I can't thank you enough for the impact you have made. Never stop man.
Brother. That's incredible thank you for sharing that. I got u bro👊🏼
Used to work security watching
suicidal patients
in hospitals. Some of the patients were only 6 and 7 years old !.. soon as you would
meet the parents you realized how a 6yr old could be on suicide watch.
Parents are everything in the formative years.
Solid advice in this video 💪
As a believer in reincarceration I have to add people who committed suicide in a past life are prone to think in that groove again.This applies to substance abusers.
As the late great Swami Vivekananda said:Our character is the sum total of thoughts from precious incarnations.An evil person has had evil thoughts for several lifetimes.Likewise a saintly person.
Our saving grace is freewill.Evil thoughts can be replaced with uplifting higher thoughts changing ones character.
Bud, if you have 4 or 5 hours I can tell you all the times I have crashed and burned over the years. This is a great channel, we need more guys like this helping young fellas get their shit in order. Kind Regards.
👊🏼
This morning I went for a short run. It was a bit cold but I remained motivated listening to this awesome episode. Great job. Thank you TCAV.
Absolutely!! That’s why I’m teaching my grandkids to ride horses !! They will have this skill the rest of their life. Even if they hate it they will remember it and eventually and hopefully someday to embrace it. I’m a huge Equestrian and horses can teach us a lot !!!
And I agree 1,000 percent Taylor !!! Thank you !!
I agree with you on every level. My father was a contractor for Texaco growing up and did everything from building gas stations to painting buildings to putting together scaffolding to pressure washing buildings and driveways and worked on Christmas day quite often. I started working with him (or at least going to job sites) around 8-10 years old. Then I started working full time with him over the summers in high school. He always said LEARN HOW TO WORK, and you'll never be homeless. Truer words have never been said.
@TCAV,
I am 42 and, like you, had parental issues. Both my parents fought and divorced when I was in 3rd grade. Also, like you, I am put in very bad places by the sounds of doors, pots etc. being slammed in anger.
Unlike you, I wanted to fly f14's, not be a SEAL but I didn't go to college, and so, it wasn't in the cards for me. I did become a pilot upon leaving the military though. Not F14's but close enough for me.
Quick side note. First cold shower I took aboard ship made me understand immediately, I would never be a SEAL
👍🏼
All the skills you talk about are transferable from FFL to real life. It can help people. The first FFL man I met was Frantz. He was in the Legion from WW2 till after that. He began coming to our church in a country i will not name. Frantz became a believer. The skills from the FFL was still in him at 70 years old. This man passed out 992000 Gospel tracts on doors for 3 years. He climbed steps in apartments with 10 floors. Frantz continued passing them out even while he was having a heart attack. What he did would not have been possible without his FFL training. This is the reason I have been watching all the videos.
It takes a real man to share this special operator's life, troubles and ultimate comeback. A man's man in my book. This man is a legend.
It's hard for me to listen to people, takes a real badass to get through to me, Thank you again for your message. Grew up in same areas, dealt with the same shit in and out of military. At the end of the day you have to check yourself first. Please keep up the videos! - Real ones out here that are listening
👊🏼
My brother, I've just got home from the hospital, yet again. Came home, showered, grabbed a coffee and first things first. Getting caught up on my favorite RUclipsr!
You have an excellent way of speaking and a motivational voice. You could be talking about the various shades and consistencies of dog sht and guaranteed people would tune in! 👍
😆👊🏼
TED talks would be a good fit!
I’m currently an airborne infantryman and I’m going through some tough time with family man I’m honest your videos are helping me a lot and this is making me think about my time in highschool before I joined
Tell you what you are on the money about kids ,I have two sons and I raised them hard not realy hard but tough sports schooling and love your family The boys knew Dad was the boss and it worked well but I told the boys Respect is the only thing in life you got …Both my boys are good men loyal loving man …As you say todays kids are soft ,not their fault but the Patents spoil them ,you stay straight soldier I’m an 73 year old man still got things to learn ,,you my mate I Respect you 👍👍👍🦘🇦🇺🇺🇸
Bonsoir, question..

I’m proud of you brother. You are Aussie though I expect nothing different from you amazing men
Unfortunately Australia 🇦🇺 is in the same boat America is in. You guys have some house cleaning todo as well to clean up corruption and rid our country of the globalist tyrants. Wannabe tyrants rather
My point is it is going to take a generation of strong men and women of integrity to clean up the mess man I applaud 👏 you for raising men of integrity
My sister recently got her Australian citizenship. Well in 2020 So I have family working along side you to make Australia great 👊🏼
"We don't have a learning issue, we have an application issue". Great stuff, Taylor.
My parents were from Soviet Union! I've never met anyone else whose parents beat them as much, we would never have imagined calling the cops or complaining to someone. Everything was, "you have it so easy in America, be happy." my parents have hated each other since the second day of marriage, they are educated and made good money, but to this day they don't spend anything,me and my brothers wore each others clothing and learned early that if you ask for anything you will be screamed at why you don't need it and how you don't deserve it, shit was embarrassing. My parents still have no friends, my father hasn't bought himself anything personal beyond beer for fifty years, not clothes, no hobbies nothing. It definitely toughened us up something fierce, we all got taught Russian, learned how to sew, cook fix everything, I couldn't believe all my friends couldn't cook or fix a lawnmower or do fiberglass at the age of 11. Maryland expunges all juvenile records and I joined at 17.
I am a Chinook Mechanic too TCAV!!! 67U10 3 years full-time!!!
My 17-year-old son needs to hear this. Cheers brotha
Definitely words from the wise. I grew up without a father an't sometimes I was glad he wasn't around because of some of the stunts I pulled when I was younger. They say with time comes wisdom (I'm 69) and it's true. Did a stint in the Navy and started to turn my life around. You speak the truth and I wish more young people could hear you because we need it. By the way, cool shirt.
I get homesick when one talks about the 90s. Even when I’m home. 994Evr
Bro like a MFer,90s movies,or commercials, just takes me there,& breaks my heart where the world has came to,I love that time, just his pic the Simson shirt right
@@Frank-uw5xq 994eVR
Kurt died on my 14th bday. We’re was you that day. The worst day till 9/11. We had survivors of Y2K optimism. Til 9/11. All downhill since then. We were the last. Things are only getting worse
When I served on active duty in the Marine Corps, I was stationed at Tustin CA. 1983 to 1990. California was a great place to live at that time.
You are a very good speaker and very real world in your views and experience!
You are motivating people right now even if the Legion is not their path.
Appreciate ya bro. Completely agree with what you say about raising our kids. 🤙🏻
Great message for current parents. This message was motivating and inspiring... thank you.
In a world full of "information" thank you for sharing your wisdom brother. It's helping more than you know.
Major respect for acknowledging your parents as good human beings despite some of life’s decisions. I’m a CW2 in the process of toughening up my high school age son. He’s a good a kid, but he’s not a roughed up dog like I am. He’ll be watching this video tomorrow because it’s important that he hears it from those who have lived it. Stay safe and God bless 👍🏽🇺🇸.
Appreciate the support brother
The things you said was “exactly” how I was raised
(in Bklyn, N.Y.) & how we raised our kids, and fortunately they all served (after 9/11) & they’re doing really well now.
But, they have different style of how they raise their kids in this day & age. Now in this computer age.
Like you said, kids don’t go out & play anymore. They’re constantly on their computers.
Instead of being outside, they’re homebodys.
Instead of picking up the phone, they text.
But they’re good students & good loving kids.
All I can do is forward this (message) to my kids, so they can hear your message. Maybe then they’ll remember “how they were raised & grew up.
Do an episode on the most inspirational and impactful guys you met both in the teams and the legion!
I appreciate your transparency. Watch the f-bombs as it can be a stumbling block to those you're trying to reach or parents/grandparents who want to share your message. Then again, I'm a guy who was playing in the canyons of Reno in the 70s and, yes, I freely admit I sound like my grandma. That's ok, she laid it on the line as a nurse in a Dutch Jewish hospital in WW2. 100% respect to your parents as they gave you a foundation. Again, appreciate the heart of your message to not sink in a disappointment but to take the hit and rise above it. Keep pressing forward.
🤙🏼
90's where an amazing time. It's a shame kids don't have the same experiences now. Seems to of ended in the mid/early 00's.
Just like many here, stumbled onto your space and love the vibe in here! My father served in the Air Force and brought home a self discipline in all areas for me and my brother. Sports was our brotherhood. I got derailed by alcohol for a long time, but trying to heal self - a message that you are passionate about and needs spoken as LOUD AF!
Brother appreciate the support. You sound ready let's get you on the system brother. Email me: tcavofficial@gmail.com
TCAV you're a light in this world man. Keep shining bright
Workin for u brother👊🏼
Love the messages. Heal self, family reminds me of Morgan Freeman's character Ellis Boyd Redding "young stupid kid"
Brother .. Thank you for sharing your stories. Your journey about joining the legion is profound and inspiring. You got me thinking about knocking on that medieval castle gate for real. My concern was always the language barrier. But if you made it clearly its all good. Much love and respect
Still a struggle with that barrier brother! Lol
54 yo recovered alcoholic / addict here, your message translates and resonates, binged it all today - well… I will before it’s over😊
I have a podcast based on twelve step recovery but have many guests who straighten their life in other ways - would love to zoom you in for an episode.
Thank you, I can really hear you 💪🏼
Great flashback...I retired from the Corps and reside in South SD..grew up there too! Perserverence is key...preparation meeting opportunities is what allows you to make it. Keep up the good mentoring base on your personal experience. These kids nowadays need it more than ever.
BZ
Thanks for sharing. Yes less tablet time for the little one.
Mate just watched younger years and you are correct about the way kids are brought up these day.
Totally agree it’s all about people feelings these days. Growing up in Rhodesia we spent most of our lives in the bush exploring, fishing and hunting. Great days indeed. Keep up the good work with these videos and I hope some of your viewers are younger people and the get inspired by what you are talking about.
Cheers for now

😆🤙🏼
I will take this message with me today. Excellent.
Please do!
Plus play Classical Music to them daily 15 minimum. The results have prove to help them be more calmer in life.
Awesome video! Like you said!! We weren't taught alot of things as kids! Now we know better! Teach the younger genarations! At least they can't say they weren't shown! Keep up the good work! We're all connected! Very inspirational! I will try to apply it more to my life! And look out and teach the younger ones! God Bless Sir! US. Army Vet!
I live in Carmel Mt
Right now. Brother went to RB high. Know lots of people from Poway amd Rancho Bernardo. It really is a great place but it’s crazy how much Bs is going on right now,, homeless drugs alcohol etc
You can even see it in areas as great as RV and Poway.
Great content my man, keep putting out truth!! If honest truth hurts, then fix yourself, it’s that easy.
Another good one, it’s not about what you know but how you apply it !! Thank you once again for the words that force me to look into the mirror.
Another great episode! ❤️💪
This is after turning into my one my favourite channels what a legend ✅
Got u brother I appreciate the support👊🏼
Taylor remember that old Navy Seals movie with Charlie Sheen and Bill Paxton? I think that came out in the 90’s. That first scene when they rescue the hostages. After in the debrief. The commander asks Bill Paxton if he fired his weapon. He says. “F’n A……sir.” Classic man.
😆🤙🏼
1904 Rider....Much Love, much respect.
Most moving messages..,
New Brunswick Canada 🇨🇦
love your honesty and how you say it, seems you turned out quite intelligent and quite a good influence on many here....nice one ! respect......
Hey TCAV as always, great stuff 👊 keep it coming bro, you are on a roll, you got the PMA. The good thing about being human is that we have the capacity to change 👊 Sur le chemin vertueux.
Wow! When you said "Poway" memories of my Navy days stationed at NAS Miramar came flooding
back. I lived there back in '78, and Poway was a pretty small town. Small world, isn't it. Love your candor, God bless.
I see your now doing the rounds of podcasts at the moment. Sure hope there paying you well.
Love your message brother. I was stationed in Tustin 4 yrs. Ch-46, chinook in the Army.
Another solid message S/F
Guess I need to call my mom... Good stuff brother!
This is great content, thanks for sharing.
My pleasure!
Love hearing people's testimonies of their experiences of life,.. I always listen with respect and take a little knowledge I can learn and apply it to my life... We are never too old to learn to make our own lives that much better for ourselves and the people around us.... Thank you for sharing TCav... Sir..
Great words to live by. Thank You. Salute !
Thanks for listening
Love your content bro, immediately subscribed.
Sailor here myself 5 years active, 5 reserve now and got a job as a civilian firefighter here in Missouri where I'm from. So I can relate to that life.
Much love bro, stay up.
👊🏼 Appreciate the support brother
If I was a teacher I would play your videos to my students.thank you Taylor.Salute from Greece.
Inspirational! Keep Coming!!
Always!
Your child hood resonates with me. I grew up in Rancho Penasquitos and went to Mt Carmel High School. Was a varsity wrestler and Football player. Got kicked out of school my senior year in 1991 and got my high school diploma at Abraxas high and joined the
Navy. I never thought about doing anything else but joining the Navy when I was young. Didn’t have the grades to go to college. Me and most of my friends joined the military right after high school. Most of my friends actually went in the Marines but I hated running!
Greetings from Taipei, Taiwan, where I’m about to go out the door for early morning Qigong exercise (Chinese exercise for health), part of my fitness and health regimen. Your story about remaking yourself several times is remarkable and I especially relate to the part where you took your career OCONUS (Army-Speak for Outside the Continental United States, for the non-US military reader). Keep it up, Legionnaire!
Im 28 years old and i have both my parents still as well as both sets of grandparents. I feel so blessed every day i get to spend time with them. Although it does cause me some anxiety on a daily level knowing that when things start going south with them its all going to happen in short succession. God bless man your helping me and everyone else here more than you know!
Thanks Dude.
Got u👊🏼
Well done Taylor, I needed to hear you. I’m 73, used to read a comic call “Luck of the legion”. I’m very undisciplined but you are a kick in the butt for me. Hope I can build some consistency. Marseille and Aiguës Morte are my favourite places. All the best.
Email me let's right the ship: tcavofficial@gmail.com
I red like 30 books on Vietnam war since 92 when the tv show tour of duty was on.
I loved that show as a kid..full metal jacket was watched daily..good times
Respect to your Dad. I am a former Chinook engineer. Albeit British. 👍
Another cracking video mate, i'm going through a shit time right now , your channel really gives me a boost, and a kick in the arse. cheers.
Email me bro let's get this ship righted with the correct map: tcavofficial@gmail.com
Another bad ass video! See ya Thursday!
My favorite channel on RUclips i haven't looked forward to a new video to drop from a channel for a long time.
GOT u brother👊🏼
Oh my goodness I am one of the sideway randoms I'm 41 years old wish like hell I would have had the options and push in my life to be dedicated to self . so I literally push these uplifting videos to my nearly 9yr old who came from two extremely cocky parents . It's never a bad thing but can lead to all the wrong things when there is no desire aspirations or goals for their lives ...
I dig it bro. I’m always grinding … hell I’m knocking out squats while listening to your clip. It’s a daily fix for me.
As Dostoevsky said, “Self-awareness acts as the reset button you need to transform your life.”
Life’s a flash, live it well and always have forgiveness in your heart, for others and yourself.
I love what you’re doing. Continued success!!!!
And as I preach to my students___ READ, educate yourself.
Faith Fit Fight
✌🏼
I was one of those kids that the parents didn't teach much about how to deal with your shit. So a lot of shit later in life was really hard to deal with, always mistakes after mistakes and each mistakes put your mind in a dark place, i guess for some, thats how you grow up. Thanks for sharing your story.
Just want to chime in and echo what others are saying. You are doing a great thing with your messages. The life lessons and guidance you are spreading transcends social, cultural and age differences. At 52 I get something out of each video that I can relate to and strive to apply to my life. You are a gifted speaker. As the comments section shows, you are reaching alot of people and motivating them to think about their life and make a positive change. Keep up the great work,
Bro that's what's up. I appreciate the love man. And u KNOW we'll STAY leanin into this TRUTH!👊🏼
You'll be perfect for Embassy Contractor Work. God's Blessings.
DUTY-HONOR-COUNTRY
Brother I have bigger plans than carrying a gun my whole life. Stronger purpose to get this message out.
I get my 2 teenage boys to watch your content, you’ve got a great story to to tell young men and credit to you for sharing. Well done and thanks again.
That is awesome!
A great message today. The yelling part hit home; I've tooted my own horn in comments before (33YR USN W5)... I do that because it does add context I believe. I have never become numb to yelling; not as a kid or adult. Even in the Navy after all those years it would make me stop for a second; no matter who was yelling. I never had a reputation as somebody that yelled a lot or as hot head until it was really needed. Amazing how things shape you. Thanks for sharing! IYAOYAS!!
I dig how your able to laugh at yourself while acknowledging missteps you have taken in your past. There is strength in your humility and I know it is not easy to do. I think it is cool you went to Poway HS. I went to Canyon in Anaheim Hills and your school was our biggest wrestling rival (87-90 for me). The Poway program, like ours, was Nationally ranked back then and matches were no joke. Big Semper Fi to your old man. Keep up the good work dude. Stay safe out there..
👊🏼
This channel is starting to take off.
Brutal honesty about self gains respect
👊🏼
I went to op telic 4 and op herrick 8. I really enjoy these videos.
Awesome! Orange County 🍊
Good stuff. Thanks
