Excellent RUclips Channel. As a patriot American and Army combat Vet I'm proud of each one of your guest interviewee...their words and individual situations in their military carrers resonated and bring memories to me...Please, keep the great job and your great channel. Thank you.
I’m a firefighter in Texas. I just started, and it’s people like him that make me feel excited to be working in that career. I had a spidey sense this whole episode that he ended up working in that field from the start.
That piece where he says “I thought I can just quit, I don’t have to do this, I can finish my time out elsewhere……but then that thought goes away & I was like I’ve got to do this, I’ve got to finish this.” Truer words have never went through so many guys’ thoughts.
Its really cool that you had the upbringing that you did. And the fact that you recognize just how fortunate you are for having such a nice upbringing. Anyways, I retired after 21 years in the Army. Almost all was 11B and at 1 of the 3 BNs. or at Regiment. I retired in Dec. 2010. It funny to listen to your stories and just how similar they are to mine. I don't know how much different it is now from when I was in. I started at 2/75. And even after 14+ years out that feeling never goes away. And you're right, unless you have done it you can't explain it. I still yern for that feeling. I hope that I get to the point where you are and you understand that its okay to not feel that way. I wish you and your family all the best brother. RLTW.
I should never have got out of the Marine Corps. I thought I was ready to get out, I got out from being an infantry machine gunner, and just like you said, all the sudden nothing. It was during the height of the recession in 2011. Employers were limited in their hiring. I spent 1 1/2 years getting turned away from employers, it was a tough time. I went to talk a prior service recruiters trying to go back to active duty, he just shook his head and told me I shouldn’t have got out. Now it is almost impossible to come back in unless I can meet the physical fitness requirements for special forces. The Marine Corps is downsizing by about 40k+. Lots of Marines with 16+ years are getting forced out before getting their 20 year retirement. I finally got hired into corrections in 2013 and now run a special tactics team for a prison. Its cool but its not the same. I still have that void in me to be a Marine again. I never even thought to at least look at the reserves. I’m very situated at home, 3 kids, wife, and a mortgage, I would just like to be ready to answer the call at a moments notice. I found out there is an infantry unit here in my town that I can join up with. Found out they have 2 sergeant squad leader billets that are empty. We’ll see what happens.
Happy Veterans Day brother. I retired after 21 years in the Army. All as 11B (infantry). I retired in Dec. 2010. And 14 years later, I miss it everyday. Join that reserve unit and get a little bit of that feeling back. I wish you and yours all the best. God bless

Bravo 2/54 1st PLT March 1997, 1/327th Infantry Regiment 101st Airborne. I fell to the ground like a sack of potatoes! I am proud that I was a 11Bravo1P. Let's fucking go! Ranger's Lead the Way! I failed the swimming test in RIP. We had to run from Airborne school to the 75th Ranger Regiment with all of our stuff. We didn't get a bus ride. RIP was the biggest ass kicker ever!! If you can't run a 5:30 minute mile you will die. Airborne Wings, Air Assault, EIB. I was a RTO for a battalion commander after being in a line unit. This man has bigger balls than I do, and so do you! Don't give up!
@@UrbanValorTVsometimes I listen passively, doing dishes or working, etc and when the topic changes it’s a tad confusing. When you asked the questions it was a bit better. Doesn’t take anything away from their monologue story imo. Regardless how you decide to conduct your channel and content I’ll be watching and listening.
So I'm participating in my extracurricular activity. And I'm watching something on the knights Templar and all the sudden it's like a piece of metal what's right out my chest cavity and then it shoots through the TV. So ask your army person is there a possibility we're getting shot right through our own iron level
Prior Air Force but hated it so I got out really quickly but I wanna reenlist In the army this time. Planning to go infantry for a year, two Max n just train for ranger. I’d love to be able to take part in HVT missions and really have fun doing what the military was bred to do. God willing a few years from now i might be having the best worst time of my life
I was at my 1st duty station in okinawa and the Cpl's used to smoke us, until we received some StaffSGT's off the drill field. They informed the Cpl's that we were all Marines and there are no recruits. So if you want a junior Marine to push, you better be pushing with that Marine. So Cpl's rarely resorted to smoking anyone because they knew junior Marines would out PT them.🤣
excellent narrative of your experience BTW, but it struck me when describing the incident with the women and her baby. When you think about all the evil shit people do to one another during conflicts, either in war or economic conflicts the truly evil acts are not so much the soldiers who must dispatch the opposing soldiers but the media and the people who control the media. Think of the power projection, a single soldier can only do so much, a squad, a bit more, a platoon even more a helicopter pilot and his gunner even more yet ect. The power to convince other people to do things like blow themselves up and their baby from perhaps a few people and the internet, or radio or whatever, is where the real power is. To convince a whole country to back your plan to invade another country no matter what hardship it will bring to them simply because you have brainwashed an entire country or significant part of a country is the ultimate power projection. This realization is why we will do whatever we can to be the first to have AIG and ASG and who ever achieves it first will win. The power of a computer to manipulate the masses via artificial news, images and media generation. I was just watching a pole from China asking them if they agree with the russian invasion of Ukraine and they do by 50% or more. They also blame the US and NATO for the Russian invasion. We all know who controls the media in China and this feels like preparation for something coming. Preparing your country to do something they probably wouldn't normally do if they could see all sides of reality. China doesn't even have artificial general intelligence yet, think about how that same pole would turn out if they did have one generating images and false news and media. With all this being said, at what point does it make sense tactically to cut the head of the snake, so to speak? What countermeasures do we have to combat this new type of warfare?
Sharks and Minnows - that was a huge part of RSS Pensacola. Navy RSS - it was high stress, fast paced training. The trainers were sharks and the candidates were the minnows. Problem is, some guys let that power go to their head. RSS Pensacola 1987-88 the instructors were smoking one guy in my training class. Lee Mirecki - only reason I say it is because the instructors that drowned him were prosecuted and found guilty of an array of charges. The whole rest of that class just felt all wonky.

12 minutes into this. Have to take a tactical pause to point out that there are many differences between services. During my 23 years of service as a Marine I never witnessed or heard of a fuckfest in any units. Much less during recruit training.
I know. Imagine the night before graduation another platoon runs naked into your squad bay with socks on their dicks with garbage can lids and other objects to brawl. And a DI calming saying, "C'mon guys, knock it off. You had your fun."
@@dennyboy3840 - Who is we? And btw California is a really big state, and I assure you it gets very cold up north...especially in the Sierra Nevada range area...
@@tigerleoneinc.9282 We as in myself and Aguilar. He’s from Los Angeles, I am too. And down here it doesn’t get as cold as Northern California. I’m sure it gets pretty cold up north. Farthest I’ve been up north is SF
@@dennyboy3840 - Understood. It gets a little nippy in the hills of Camp Pendleton (North San Diego County) especially Case Springs...but yeah typically it does get a bit more cold in the Southeast USA, compared to SoCal.
When it's super hot in the summer when you're in Ranger School, do they make you put on cold weather gear so you embrace the grind? That flying ice has got to be terrible, but what kind of stuff do they do in the summer?
I know right? Bunch of back slapping, self-fellating, non swimming, spoiled soldiers who take 100 men to kill 1 or 2 goat herder "HVTs". "Rangers lead the way HUHHHHHHH!" 🤣🤣🤣
He rocks a Rolex for more than looks. They are currency in just about any country. If you find yourself in a little predicament, you may bargain for a ride to the border or info, or something you may need to save your life. Understand what I'm getting at here?? As a former Spec Ops soldier I understand the advantage of having a bargaining chip. I was 1st/75th, A co. 85 to 89. Sua Sponte!!! Things are different now and some standards have been changed or added but the true core foundation of the Ranger community is still and always will remain the same. I went in as an unassigned airborne infantry contract and was on tract to go to the 82nd down at Bragg. During the 2nd week of jump school a Ranger liason came by a gave a little speech. Well, myself and a few others went to his office and we watched a short film and got to ask questions. I filled out the paperwork and on graduation day of jump school a bus pulled up and 2 Ranger NCO's got out and started calling out names. If you hear your name, get.on the dam bus!! Uh Ohh, what did I get myself into??? Away to RIP!! Back then it was called that and we also wore the straight olive green fatigues that they wore in Vietnam with the black beret and jungle boots. That was the Ranger uniform back then. We were the only army unit who was authorized to wear that uniform as far as I know. Everyone else wore BDU's. That's all changed now but back then if you were in a Ranger Batt.you stood out as such. Not to mention the iconic hair cut!!! You had a fresh shape up every week before Monday morning 1st formation. The Rangers were wearing the black beret back in Vietnam, and the Lrrp's before the formation of the 75th. Some jealous high brass officer(shot caller) who probably didn't have the guts to go to or failed Ranger school made the call for the regular army to wear the black beret and the Ranger Batts.wear the Tan beret. I guess that's the only legit way he was gonna be able to wear that black beret!! Lmao! Anyhow the Rangers are killers no matter what kind or color head gear they wear!!! Plain and simple!
So you were a loser for a short timd and joined the military. Like my friend. Now he acts like he won the medal of honor lol. We're no longer friends 😂
