Diego is my older brother, I’ve been waiting a long time to hear the details of that day. Thank you for sharing
God speed.
Semper Fi
I just wanted to thank you, your Brother gave the Ultimate Sacrifice !! Semper Fidelis !!🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
Wish you wouldn’t have had to hear how you lost your brother from a RUclips video man.
I'm sorry for your loss, I can't imagine. God bless our warfighters.
Thank you for this. I’m sitting here sadly drunk, with not the best mindset. I’ve had the pleasure of serving 9 yrs. Now things just seem over lately. I’ve been having bad thoughts. But this definitely got me thinking about maybe not giving up. There’s so much more out there for me. Thank you.
Don't give up sir, there is plenty more in life for you. God has a plan for everyone 🙏 You've got a lot going for you. Don't forget your family.
Just writing this comment means deep down you know things can get better. I believe in you.
Thank you for your service, Sir! No matter what you do from here, except giving up, will be nothing but the BEST. You are a blessing to our community and our country.
So I went to my first AA meeting on a Sat morning before I opened a can and stayed until they closed. The Speakers' story that night was So inspiring(he'd been a Star hs football player and got hooked on drugs)that after I chatted with him for 5mins(he said go home, go to bed, you'll sleep shitty for a couple days,You're gonna be fine)I did what he said and I'm still sober! They told me it's the Sugar in alcohol that does that shit to you so you can substitute Candy for a while,then drop the candy because sugar sucks too. I still struggle bad with sex-addiction and caffeine. Good luck to us All! Keep Pushing through the shitty part. 💪 ❤🫡👍
You are worth it man. Believe in yourself and know that you are not alone. You just took a very big step by telling a whole lot of people that you are struggling. At least you can see and realize that. Keep fighting, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You got this.
Seeing SOF guys discussing sobriety as a part of their healing is so commendable. It's such a taboo topic in the community, but I feel so many could benefit from starting that conversation.
SOBER = son of a bitch everything is real
53 Days sober and besides joining the military, it's the best decision I've ever made.
I agree wholeheartedly My cousin did I think 4 deployments, he was finally starting to do okay he relapsed 3 weeks ago and died he been through Hell and back more than once and he died from that fucking poison on the streets it’s fucking with my mental health so bad R.I.P. Matty your Loved and Missed more than you’d ever know
@@markensworth6591 Sorry for your loss brother, addiction / alcoholism been running thru my family for years. Just lost my sister March 28th from alcohol, lost my dad to the same xmas morning '16, & have had my own issues. It's been very hard losing my big sis, doing my best to stay busy, taking life one day, one moment at a time, while cherishing the great memories whether thru pics and or reading the comments her friends have left on her FB, reminding me of how much she was loved & remembered for her constant outgoing energy, that always brought laughter & good times to whomever she was with. And lastly, the most important thing is to, no matter what, take care of #1 first & foremost; try not to isolate, talk to ppl when you need to, there is NOTHING wrong w asking for help, its very commendable to do so. Honor your cousin however you feel best. And never forget that you are not alone man! RIP Matty & Jennifah!❤🩹
^ I’m deeply sorry to hear you lost your cousin. Addiction is a complex topic that humans are still trying to understand, but may his soul rest in peace. I hope you find peace with your loss some day. Stay strong, brother.
The fact he had to wear his buddies kit must have been rough
Yes, that was a bit of a gut punch when he said that...
Ikr!! Then you add in the fact that guys like him,Talon,and guys like them are a dying breed and are protecting these snowflakes out here protesting every five minutes over nothing. Damn shame, but we keep pushing brother. Glad Nick is doing well.
Dress blues not kit
Well i think some people still refer to a full military uniform as a kit, although is almost exclusively used in reference to your ACUs and combat loadout setup i believe
What part of all this is easy? And no relatively speaking, not everybody stay in their emotions
He sounds like a true soldier, no annamosaty , no self glory. Just the right dude at the right time in the wrong situation
That’s the truth ❤
Namaste.
He’s a marine not a soldier.
Thats a warrior. Warriors domt brag. They do tjeir job. Trully unbelivble humans
Nick Jones is the epitome of resiliency and how having drive and a positive attitude can pull you through almost anything. Amazing human being doing amazing things daily.
Is MARSOC tier 1?
Thank you Chuck.
A change hmm wow. A whole. New. Life. Bob13
I went to Boot Camp with Diego. Then SOI together. He was in the reserves at first. I got sent to 2/7 Fox. We were close. This is the most I’ve heard about that day. His ex wife called me that day while I was in my electrical apprenticeship class. Thank you for sharing this. He was a true warrior. I miss him every day.
When were you in 2/7? I was in 2/7 Echo (‘10-‘12)
@@Marco-lx3eh you were right after me! I was ‘04-‘08.
his ex eh.. you the reas0n?
@@christianlarson6708 During that time (‘05-‘08) I was in 1/7 Baker Co.
My cousin Ryan Lowrey and great friend was on the plane over Mississippi. He was one of the best men ever. The last time I talked to him he was going out on a 100 mile run. Sorry for your loss.
I served with Ryan
@@WeaponizedNerdur in marsoc?
@@JoseMartinez-eq7vb He was at Recon first.
Rip. Warriors. I never. Knew. What caused it. OMG. Bob13
Fake story lol
I went to highschool with Leach. It was heartbreaking when this happened. Crazy to see a video 6 years later with his picture again.
Well spoken smart guy - can see why he became a leader
'Sober 3+ years now. 'Heard your story, felt your loss. I thank you all for your service. Let's see how good this coffee of yours' is! Ronald
I'm 3 years sober too. Keep fighting the good one.
It’s freaking great! Love it and Love giving the Support back!
Totally answered the question of “I don’t know how, but they knew we were coming” shortly fallowed by “ 26 Iraqis”. One if not more def dropped the dime on the dime on this dudes squad. My uncle (retired warrant officer at 3rd SFG) said if you get 10 locals in their partner forces, at least 2 will out the whole team to the enemy. Said it was worse in Africa when he was at “Africom”
They are loyal to each other because they live with each other like they're family and friends
Why wouldn't they it's their country they aren't with the invaders through choice but through necessity their loyalty is to their own people not American invaders
I remember Navas well, served about 4 years with him in 2/3. I was saddened the day i heard, thank you for sharing this story, Nick. For 4 years I’ve wished to know the details. Semper Fi, brother.
One of my favourite BRCC episodes yet. Thank you for your service. 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Nick Jones is the true meaning of an United States Marine. NEVER EVER STOP FIGHTING.
I grew up in Olathe and know Nick and Zach through many close mutual friends. Nick is a good man and so many of us still here in KC are proud of him and what he was able to overcome. Thankful to God that he made it back, recovered and is using his experiences to make positive moves helping others coming back home from similar hardships.
Zach’s my older brother, heart dropped seeing you mentioning him. Love it.
@@gagem634 I'm so sorry man, Zach was a great guy, always in it for the fun. Miss playing Madden and going shooting with him, just screwing around.
@@gagem634 love you Gage.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice. You are wise beyond your years. Stay strong in your sobriety.
Keep these stories coming man! And please ship more coffee to Canada.
Canada may as well b Afghanistan these days

I deployed and was good friends with Sgt. Murray. I remember hearing the day he passed. Man I still can’t even believe it. Joe was one of the best people I ever met.
Just want to shake this mans hand and tell him god bless and thank you... The things these men do is something out of a movie. Absolute heroes...
Dude is a monster, thank god he's on our side. He defined what a Marine is.
I drive through Bozeman every day so crazy to have that connection! Amazing story!
With so much negativity and pessimism in the air these days , it’s good to hear a strong message of hope and success. Believe it, man, a lot of people will draw inspiration from your words.
The right man for the job.Thank you.
Damn jones, you went hard after boot camp. I still remember the Charlie company days.
Definition of the core values of the Marine Corps. Semper Fidelis my brother!
Nick you gave all of your heart fighting on those caves, and then in recovery, and now you're giving back to other Vets. We're indebted to you and our Vets for your endless sacrifice and courage 🙏🇺🇸
The miracle of sobriety . Good man . Great story .
Hell yeah brother! Thanks for your service, your risk, your commitment, you patriotism. God Bless you!
Thank you for your service and sorry for your pain. God bless you and your family
I want to thank you for your service and glad for you, your wife, and child on your 1 year of being sober. Remember one day at a time. God Bless you.
Well done dude you should be very proud; you’ve been through a lot.
Damn that trail run is amazing. That wouldnt have been easy walking that and this dude ran. Incredible story, incredible person, and an incredible American hero. Semper fi brother from an army vet!
Thank you for sharing . I'm sorry for your loss but I am grateful for your story. ❤
I trained with some Marine Recon guys, and they were a blast to work with!
So much respect for this guy!
#RLTW🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Bless you Brother. from Australia. Thanks BRCC.
Well said young man, and thank you for your service. You are more appreciated than you will ever know. God bless
Thank you for your service, I am glad you made your way out of a dark spot. I pray every service member dealing with similar issue does the same. God Bless.
I know this probably won’t get seen by you guys but the other day was my State test I’m in 10th grade so in prep I bought a coffee of yours when the time came I drank it and I gotta say that was some very good coffee
I love all our vets and active service members
Brother I salute having spent numerous years in combat I still can’t imagine the fight you had in and out of it. Stay strong, stay productive. You have great purpose.
Thank you for sharing your many stories. You are an inspiration physically and psychologically. Thank you sir for everything.
My son was in Erbil in 20. He said the Maries were outstanding at keeping the base safe. Thank you.
There are really no words to express just how Thankful I am for your Service and all those before you and after for all you have done for Our Country!! THANK YOU , THANK YOU , THANK YOU!!! Myself and my family want to say WE LOVE ALL OUR MILITARY AND GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
One of my favorite BRCC episodes yet. Thank you for your service.
Nick, miss you bro I am so happy you found your calling and sorry for the bad guys, it was you who answered!
😎 💪 🙏
Dang this one had my crying, my friend was on that C130
Unmatched strength of character in these guys and their families. Unreal.
Nice work … I honestly haven’t met a marine who hasn’t struggled & most never saw combat … most couldn’t get into any other branches either … the marines is the suck of the suck lowest budget most expendable shiftiest mission branch we have … but they love it & at least they can fight!
Great story of resilience and hope. Best wishes from Limerick Eire.
Nick Jones Thank you and what an incredible story about your life and your service....Thank you and God Bless you and your family.
Thank you for sharing. There’s a lot the rest of us soldiers out here never hear
I've been dealing with CRPS due to a spinal injury from a fall I suffered as a C130 mechanic in the Navy. It's been years of ineffective medical care, intensifying pain, and worsening depression. I'm at the point where I'm fixing to throw away the cane and suffer through the pain if it means enjoying my life again. Your recovery is encouraging to me amidst my battle with health and Healthcare.
certified badass
This is one of the best stories I’ve heard from the modern wars. Semper Fi brother🤙✌️

Thank you for your service.
I'd chatted with Nick before this deployment. Had no clue of his MOS.
WOW!
He did far more than most Marines could visualize possibly doing.
Great guy, husband & father ... so fortunate that he made it back.
Continues to do great 'works'.
Thank you. Very inspiring I’m so glad you found strength within yourself not to give up as so many unfortunately have.

Just WOW! I'm so thankful for the sacrifices he and others have given for my freedom. And I can't thank them enough. What an amazing man. I'm so sorry for so the pain and hardships that he had to suffer after. But I'm so thankful for where he wound up. Maybe he had to go thru all this to get to where he is today, and to appreciate life that much more? Either way..... THANK YOU!!!
