hi i see people confused about his age. video recorded in 2019, posted in 2020. so my understanding is 18 in 2008 , 28 in in 2018 / 2019. usually edits or clarifications can be found in the description. if you have a question you can email or dm on twitter
I'd love to hear you interview with him about some of the stuff going on in UKRAINE
Wow 2 days ago
Just an idea of interview: bullied victims that has problem outdoor (outside) and indoor (at home)
did he say what his job was in the af?
3:36 I live right next to it.
The teenagers never shut the fuck up above it
He's talking so seriously but his flippers waving is the funniest thing ever
Professional killer lmao
A penguin in the Airforce.
Biology flew out the window.
Or is it physics?
It's like this video we had to watch as kids about AIDS where thos animated dog was 100% in his tone but his ears would perk up everytime he mentioned sexual activity.
Seriously though! It was really crazy watching this and seeing the floppy penguin explaining this.
The foot tapping too
“it’s a very detached, sort of dehumanised detached version of reality”
Said the penguin to Winnie the Pooh
modernity
@The Doge-Emperor of Dogekind and thats the reality of it
It's funny how the world is so fucked up seeing a penguin talking to winnie the pooh and an anime girl feels.more real than a pandemic, a 19 year old war and racial protests, collapses of entire economies and China being assholes with hong kong
That is actually done on purpose. If you think about military terminology in general, it is very dehumanising. You don't kill a person, you eliminate or neutralize a target. Those are little things that actually have impact on a human brain, and reduces the moral effect on the person's mind. Same with drones. It's easier to kill someone if you're not there.
You know the military can basically out their the expose the entire poisonous ideology of military and remain entirely faceless
Man he really dodged that UFO question
Cant risk the CIA knocking on your door next morning
@@codyzumr4040 "sir we cant risk the public knowing about the alien cat girls"
you don't want hellfire missiles launch on you x
Oh he's definitely seen something
the actual official rule is that if you identify something that qualifies needing reporting you can't talk about it publicly unless cleared to do so, and given that its a standard practice to report weird shit (not because of just aliens but it could be simply a mundane threat like a new type of drone or something like that) its hard to actually discuss things without suffering legal repercussions

@Millers-Meat-Locker ok but how does this have anything to do with what i said
Legit ya start forgetting the years after 25
“Penguin talks with winnie the pooh about killing and the military”
Piglet was was the one recording
Winnie the poo after hearing about stuff: Holy shit!
I mean, I'd love to be sitting down in an chair shooting missiles at people. I was good with the Predator Kill Streak in COD...so seems like an fun job.
i’ve visioned this while playing with toys
I’m just gonna call him pengu
Kowalski did some serious stuff in the Military
Cap: Kowalski, analisis!
Kowalski: It seems I have PTSD and a phobia of fireworks.
Nah man rico went through way more shit he doesnt even talk anymore
More like Rico before he went completely went haywire and stopped being verbal

Soon as he talked about the butthole inspection, all doubt was erased from my mind about his legitimacy.
Got out of the marine corps about a year ago, can confirm theres always that one dude who tries to kill himself in boot camp. Literally happens every cycle.
Heard of separations?
The week before my boot camp a girl jumped out of the window of the 12th story. A guy in my dorm went mental and ended up in a mental health ward and someone overdosed in their room. This all happened during my stay
@@pegcity4eva A friend of mine in the regular Navy had his best friend hang himself in the training grounds after he was hazed for talking up to an officer. He says they still haze even though they are not supposed to.
@@SI0AXit’s always the loser officers who have barely seen combat who take offense to that kind of stuff, the ones who’ve been in for a while are more open to criticism in my experience of dealing with them off base
@@SciFiUncensoredat least in air force bmt separations can take months for medical reasons and you're still not really given your rights back so I can definitely imagine people not being able to take it.

Yea that was an amazing ending imo
They fly pretty fast really, exactly like they're in the air except they're in the higher density 'atmosphere' of water.

Makes sense
@@edgerobber 😭
Airforce Penguin - "Boot Camps not that bad"
Also Airforce Penguin - "There is always someone who tries to commit suicide at bootcamp"
That's any basic
I think it's more that so many people go to boot camp that you're bound to catch a lot of suicidal people in that net. My friend from high school tried to kill herself in the Air Force, but she also tried before she joined.
Why would anyone want to commit suicide in bootcamp??
This is true. I pulled guard duty several times watching these pvts making sure they didn't use their sheets to strangle themselves. That's kinda weird remembering the fact now though 🤔
always
"how many legit licenses of WinRar does the military have?"
- "that is one line we do not cross"
Fucking LOL
That's what's called "TEGRIDY" right there
Lol the Navy just got in trouble for pirating software 🤣
“Have you ever seen a UFO?” “...so anyway, how do you pronounce your name?”
I mean technically an unknown enemy plane is also an UFO, so he might have.
@@schmid1.079 going in there I'm pretty sure they have to sign wavers against releasing that kind of information until the day they die.
Ever look up in the sky and see what seems like a plane? If you can't confirm that it's a plane, it's a UFO.
@@unlisted9494
It can be very obviously a plane, and yet also a UFO. For example if you spot a distant transport plane but can't tell whether it's a Russian LV-112V or a Hercules or some model you've never seen before, it's a UFO until it's identified.
They've started calling them UAPs because people always think of UFOs being aliens
Man in the airforce picks a flightless bird.
Keats Mcgee I know right?
Well he didn’t fly. He was a instructor lol
@@rayanemohamedaguenarous5479 He told about firing a hellfire missile. He definitely fly before.
change of pace
I'm a New Zealander. The Royal New Zealand Air Force uses a flightless bird as their official symbol. (google RNZAF roundel)
"There's always someone who tries to commit suicide at boot camp. Always."
He says that so casually.
Kid drank bleach in mine, didn’t work.
James Stringam I didn’t clean the bleach out of my canteen fully. ended up getting a couple of bloody noses lol I kept drinking from it cause I was thirsty.
There are also people who try to commit suicide in normal society every day, and most people don't care... So yeah.
And it's an unfortunate truth. There was two attempts at mine, though I only remember one where it was a girl attempting to hang herself from her wall locker. In many people's cases, especially young individuals, basic training is the first time they are pressed into a scenario of high stress with nothing familiar to them there to help; no best friends, no parents, no personal space or comfort. So when someone breaks, they look at is as their only way out.
I mean let's be honest there, he probably got used to is as it became a new normal to some. Maybe it wasn't his intention to sound heartless but you guys need to see that this stuff happens, sadly, everywhere, specially in military which might take a tool on you, the whole scenario of killing poeple (some innocent), it weights on your alot. Nonetheless, it is fucked up...
He dodged that one UFO question like it was the debt collector
@@btwtrademeIt's most likely because he held a top secret clearance and isn't allowed to talk about those things. Towards the end of the video he even says he isn't religious anymore
Easily the most fascinating morally grey penguin I have ever listened to for half an hour.
Had to reread that sentence but fuck you are right
Do you have a runner up?
But hes so black and white
Morally Grey? He bombs villagers for money.
Wait, thats illegal.
Imagine being killed by someone, and then that someone goes on to roleplay as a penguin on VR years later.
Metro damn
so that's the kind of rickroll that mercenaries do
Imagine someone kills your family and you find him in VR chat years later as a penguin
Drop 500lb bomb, trap on the boat, watch hard drive full of anime after the debrief. The future is now.
He technically didn't kill people, he was more into mission planning and logistics, but I see what you mean
If you'd like to do a similar style chat with another close air support member, I was an Aerial Gunner on the AC-130U for six years.
I've seen your interview and man I hope you are doing good, may the force be with you
damn, i just seen your episode with Syrmor!
ha its cool that u had commented this before it and your interview is what introduced me to the channel
Just saw your interview man hope you’re well
i really enjoyed watching the interview it felt so genuine, i hope your new year will go well =)
Whats nuts is that I saw this video before I joined and now i’m watching it in my dorm.. in the Air Force.. with the same exact job this guy had. Can relate to a lot of the things he said
What is your afsc?
Wew I feel this 100% bro same here!!
So why would you still decide to join the military, knowing that you're going to kill people???
Nuts. Did you help Biden kill that foster parent and a baby in Afghanistan? Nice one.
whoa sorry man don't blow my house and family up like a fucking psycho would
“I’m glad you got out”

He went military first then art school
Hitler is outsmarted by a penguin
Bruh 😂😂😂😂
🤣
Damn🤔😂😂
Wait, didn’t Hitler still try to be an artist after World War 1? Or was it straight to Nazi?
@@funnybone6149 no he applied and wasn't accepted pre ww1. Hitler's life up to this point was extremely traumatizing and after not getting into art school gave him a great feeling of being lost.
When ww1 came around he saw the war as an opportunity to become something great and give meaning to his life.
The extremism and nazism came from the deep embarrassment that the German people felt from the loss of the war, plus the allies basically crippled the nation to that of a 3rd world country economically. He became radicalized and politically motivated by attending political rallies and using his charisma to climb the ranks.
Im not in anyway a historian, this is just what I can remember of the top of my head from my own ww2 research.
This has got the be one of the most memorable interviews we've ever done, it really stuck with me. I'm so happy it's finally seeing the light of day, well worth the wait!
Hey, I reached out to Syrmor on IG hoping to maybe meet up with him in Vrchat and you as well. My Instagram is Tiodor.a
normally I'm annoyed by commentary during interviews, but you were funny as fuck and made the video so much more enjoyable. Keep it up!
I enjoy your witty responses, lol.
When I saw Winnie the Pooh, I was expecting to hear Xi Jinping, no offense.
Did he mention what his exact job that he signed up for and worked in the airforce? Maybe i missed it
"I'm glad you got out"
"I'm still in Texas"
"My condolences"
That had more twists than an M night shamalamadingdong movie
Well said
No one says that guys name right do they ?

@@RT-qd8yl Energy grid says otherwise. Basically... 80% of the ones you listed are superior to TX.
"There's definitely been some things I wish I hadn't been a part of"
- And that folks, is *why* the US hires contractors
Trade secrets don't fall under the Freedom of Information Act. That is why the US hires contractors.
Bent Sound Nah, they do it because contractors tend to be more experienced and with less alternative motives. I hate to talk trash but most contractors enjoy the environment, hence why they join up. With the military, the benefits are so plentiful, its ridiculous to think even 30% of those soldiers are there to do their job, cuz they aint. They are there to get their college money, maybe an “adventure” or some hometown hero story, or to get away from home.
Especially in Iraq and Afghanistan, where the US has almost completely reduced its military presence to support and advisory roles, its important to have those units willing and ready for combat out there to do the dirty work. I’m sure illegality is a perk.
This all said, people also really overestimate how many mercenaries the US hires. The stat of them outnumbering soldiers in places like Iraq 3:1 is true (or was), but US troops in Iraq have dropped from hundreds of thousands, to tens of thousands, to thousands. The mercenary number rarely ever went over 20,000 and wast steadily drawn down to iirc 6,000 when US troops were, over the course of 12 years, reduced from 120,000+ to 2,000.
Also PMCs have manpower issues obviously
@@AndrewJ9673 about contractors enjoying the environment: I hear you. There're also career military members that enjoy it. When I first heard about all that... It's insane man.
Most contractors are former soldiers
@The Man With No Name some people really do enjoy it though. Having a friend come back and explaining the rush he gets from seeing a limp body drop to the floor through a scope is crazy.
This is a real footage of Winnie the Pooh interviewing Kowalski about his military past and nobody can convince me otherwise.

That's PTSD for ya. Wasn't in the military but can't remember shit because sometimes it's better to forget your life
I think they hire military contractors to do the shady stuff they don't want to be caught doing themselves. If it ever lead back to them they could always say they never had control of it from there side. You see this type of contractor bs loophole everywhere in business. Good looking public business on the front, but un mortal business practices in the back.
Plausible deniability
It’ not u think it happens all the time so the US never looks like the bad giy
Yes, like the Biden administration partnering with Facebook to censor people. Government can’t take away free speech but private companies can. (Which is bullshit but that’s how it is)
It's cheaper and often times more efficient for the military to contract out these sort of things, these things get blown up a lot more by the media
Really though, what sounds worse?
"Soldiers open fire on unarmed civilians"
Or
"Mercenaries hired by u.s military open fire on unarmed civilians"
AFAIK military contractors deaths are not counted as official amongst US army casualties.

as someone who was in the army I can confirm that overall army IQ was way down but its due to having more job variety. Most AirForce jobs are intel or tech and not combat. But there are Army jobs that do require a near perfect ASVAB..

Only acceptable and appropriate answer.
winnie the pooh has a casual discussion with a penguin about the delicate horrors of war --- actually happened in our timeline.
That is some crazy shit to think about
I did 8 years in the army and everything this guy is saying is 100%. Especially the part about recruiters strait up lying to you. Great interview.
Well yeah everyone knows recruiters lie, or they should at least. That's a cliche that's been parodied for the last century practically. If you get suckered by them, that's on you lol. It kills me when I hear people be like, "yeah recruiter said I needed better eyes to do that so I was 'ok' and took this shitty job. Anyway, then I saw a pilot put on glasses."
@@dogboy0912 whats with the tendency to never blame the offender? Its less justified here because you are getting into a job where you are risking your life and not being properly informed. And i always see in cases like war and military, that no problem is properly acknowledge, the innocent lives, the abandoment of ex military officers, instead its a "it is what it is". And i dont even say it should be fixed, but at least talked about, you just prefer to take it up the ass; just a really dumb down society.
@@dogboy0912 you ever notice recruiters target schools in areas with lower education stats?
@@lautaroarroyo8527 we talk about it a lot lol. Isn't it like half of the enlisted jokes.
So my long story short about a recruiter starts with me being at school on an optional day not knowing it was an optional day for testing.
Was forced to take asvab test but got a free donut so why not take this career test.
Was told I was going to get my results in about a month.
Two months later I get a notification from Instagram. Mother fucking INSTAGRAM! and its from a army recruiter.
There was a navy recruiter at the test walking us through it but I was still confused as to why the fuck a army recruiter is talking to me on Instagram.
Dude stats his name and that the army WANTS me to join and that my test results said that I would be best for the army???
I was immediately skeptical, I acted very professional and asked him 3 questions.
1. Why didn't I get either called down to my schools office, a phone call, or email (all of this I had to put on the test) he said that I had NOT filled that part out which is bs because I wasn't allowed to move on until that was filled out.
2. What was my SPECIFIC score I got on the test. (I wanted proof that I should trust/listen to this dude, I wasn't going to have him waste my time) he surprisingly did have my score I think or he just guessed I never cared for the test results so I didn't check
3. Since he apparently had some of my information then he should know what I said to the other recruiter at the site. (I said I wanted to apply for the military air force to be specific but I have bad asthma and scolosis so yeah that aint happening xD) but he had absolutely no info of my age. (The question was me asking if he had any information about me that wasn't on my social media, like my race for instance, I had and still have no pictures of myself on my Instagram so I wanted to test this dude to see if he was specifically recruiting me for my "smarts" or if he was just copying pasting this to people in highschool)
I think I asked him these questions and some comments on how it was kinda weird how I was being talked to about this on my ART social media. My Instagram did have my name on it but I went by SilverSerienty. This was the only info he had about me, just shit that he could easily find by going through my insta.
Yeah he stopped messaging me and deleted the account lol.
I have the chat saved tho so if anyone wants I could post it on reddit for some laughs.
Gotta say, I had fun messing with this guy passively, I know I definitely made him a tad nervous which was really all I wanted to do.
"glad you got out"
"im still in texas"
"oh my condolences"

best part is at 29:08 - and then pooh says „THE MEN IN BLACK GOT HIM“

This was about a year or two after a recruit killed themselves at CFLRS. The military really tries to take preventative measures (up here anyhow). Still haven't gotten in yet. I've pretty much come to terms with giving up on my life dreams :)
He's not wrong, someone in my flight tried. In my cousin flight someone went AWOL as well
@@juanojeda6559 Well, he clearly states that it's bad for some people and fine for others. That's about as connected to reality as you can get: acknowledging subjectivity.
Probably due to the sudden change of environment, high levels of stress, and not being able to see family. But very few reach THAT point
I worked with a guy that previously worked in air force intelligence. His job was literally to sit in a room with a bunch of televisions and watch all the cable news stations all day.
The way he spoke about marrying his wife has me dying!! “I tricked her into doing it and it’s been pretty great ever since”🤣🤣🤣
That's the dream right there
I thought the CMDR Charles (Pooh) is gonna say something like "Learn that well from the military" or something lol, 'cause they were just talking about recruiters lie to get people in
I just spent 30 minutes listening to a penguin talking about his US military experience and it was interesting as hell
yuh
It was definitely interesting that successful members of our military feel the need to join mercenary groups.
It's a very sad pipeline, it's almost like we've privitized our military...
Yea..pretty much
When I met my fiancée her neighbor was a military contractor... he would leave for 4 months at a time and one time he came back and bought a $160k Malibu wakeboard boat and a $100k lifted truck. They make sooooo much money
I just done the same . Then I spent IOmin reading the comments and ended up commenting here before realizing I used an I and an O to write the number 10
he wanted to build buildings, but ended up blowing them up

As a historian I predict that this video will be referenced as a source in a couple of decades when historians research mental health and motivations of private military contractors in the beginning of the 21st century. And I am oddly okay with that.

I realize from the placement of his arms that he's likely sitting down in a chair, so his feet moving around and tapping the ground is likely him being restless in a chair, but it makes it look like they're interviewing a military veteran penguin that was rejected from Happy Feet.

I greatly appreciate these stories and the information, and inside perspective to these jobs, and sectors of our government and country.
Imagine if you told someone at least 20 years ago. That there will be an interview with a penguin who tells his story about being a military contractor to a tik tok Star and Winne the Pooh via virtual reality.

His job is literally "see that shit? Remember what it looks like and here's all the ways it can kill you. Avoid it"
Why girlfriend just walked in and asked why I was watching cartoons. I tried to explain that the penguin was a real air force vet but she just told me to grow up and walked out

I was losing my shit at this guy talking about such a serious thing as a Penguin, but then I slowly realised more and more how he's serious.
For someone with such a meme name, it’s a bit strange to hear you’re sensitive about it. Also considering your name also more than likely causes death.
I mean fetuses are still a fetus inside or outside of the body. Nothing says they have to be alive..or even human. Fun for every species.

Hey take it from Obama we can’t say anything about aliens. Wait shit.
He didn't "Expose terrible secrets". He's not stating any information he's not allowed to mention. He didn't name the private company, either. This guy is most definitely not just rattling off information without thinking about it first!

I completed my contract and must say school is the better option. It’s just everything you do no matter in what branch will be negative and you will hear “roll with the punches” and you get use to it, after you get out though you are still in that same mind set like a hive mind and find out you are no longer a part of perfect society and it kinda fucks you up
@@heavenlyeggs6455 Everything you said is true. I didn't complete my contract unfortunately however I stayed in long enough to see all the bullshit that went on.

@@heavenlyeggs6455 There is no such thing as perfect society. It may seem like those "normal people" perfectly fit together, but a lot of them are faking it and hating their life.
Sure some veterans struggle outside military, because there's no system/structure to civilian life - you just make it up as you go, and they feel lost in a life like that. If anything, the reason veterans feel more lost is because they know the feeling of *not* being lost.
@@teli4181 pretty edgy way of putting it, but it's pretty true.

I love the military stories. Really gives you an insight on what it's like. Never knew there was so much suicide in boot camp, still kinda hard to wrap my head around. Love the videos, keep up the good work!
Yes it is 😢
Stop me if you've heard this one:
So Winnie The Pooh, a cheerleader, and a penguin are having a conversation by a gallows.....
I think that's "hit or miss" girl
lmfao
And you’re enjoying it
Not enough people are talking about his “there’s always someone trying to commit suicide at boot camp” casual comment
it's true but boot camp is literally there to push people to see how much it takes for them to snap. not surprising that some people cant handle it.
Part of the process, nothing to talk about.any "programs " toward that objective reduction would be counter intuitive to the mission to train. Defeat the purpose. Unfortunate but on par
Went through basic, can confirm. Platoon was on suicide watch by day 3 so we had to take shifts watching this guy sleep. Pretty much every company around us had their own guy like that or maybe even a few.
Genre: Mind Break
It happens. BCT is where they attempt to dismantle you and build you up into a soldier who is not afraid to die for your country. Some people break from the pressure. When I was in BCT, every week, I got maybe 14 hours of total sleep. They put a dickhead in command of determining who did fire watch for my company. I was always the midnight to rise guy every day, while the other half of the bunks slept soundly every night. Imagine having people yelling in your face nearly every wake moment while heavily sleep deprived. Didn't have anyone go suicidal in Basic, but plenty of people seemed like they snapped mentally at some point.
Recruiters trying to recruit people:
You’ll be a hero! You’ll get a deployment Benefit! You’ll get everything!

Cereal Eater oh yeah I feel the vibe
Hes bot a soldier he's in a PMC.
My recruiter was cool with me, but thats because I went into his office knowing what I wanted and stomped out any other idea he wanted me to do.
My cousin is a recruiter now, poor guy really believes he's helping people. Deception and propaganda all the way down.
19:14 that is a "I want to tell you so bad but i work on intel and i don't wanna lose my job" answer
I knew eventually he would get a VR Chat interview with a US Military veteran, I'm really envious because I was hoping it'd be me. Silly-ness aside, this was a great interview and huge thanks to KaiOT for putting himself out there to give people perspective, especially those considering military enlistment, regardless of service. It is so incredibly important to be informed when making this life altering decision.
You should reach out, I'd love to hear your story
