The Time I Met ​⁠

[@MrBallen]

Thank you man! And I absolutely remember that speakers face and I loved that particular talk, I just for the life of me can’t remember his name. I’ll look for it tho and comment here if/when I find it! It’s amazing to have your support man, and more importantly, it’s so cool to hear that Elite Meet made a difference for you!!! I think most folks (active NSW) were in support of elite meet, but became upset with me for my social media posts that were a little too “look at me, I’m a navy seal” - that said, I would be lying if I didn’t say that I felt MASSIVELY betrayed by a few choice teammates. But I don’t hold any grudges now… I brought a lot of the heat on myself, even if it’s hard for non-NSW to see that. Candidly tho, you are one of the few public NSW dudes to vouch for me from when that all went down. It’s easy to say I’m a good guy NOW… but no one says that about “John Allen” from that time when all that went down. So this means more to me than you know. Thank you bro I’ll see you in Atlanta later this year bro!!

Mr Ballen cops so much hate from the Seal community that I think is beyond unnecessary. He had to move away from Virginia Beach to get away from the hate from people he had served with and it really affected him. Thats sad. Thank you for being such a compassionate man. You give me hope through your kindness and love for Jesus.

Some of the guys in the teams think of him as a spooky Mulder of the teams. For some reason they think his cryptic zoological content somehow hurts the teams credibility. That and their egos as former elite operators is being tarnished. That is their problem to figure out. Mr. Ballen is free to make whatever content he chooses and we can either be skeptical or we can choose to believe it.

[@loriadair]

Thank you. Mr. Ballen's channel is awesome. It's sad when veterans "shame" other veterans. I know from experience.

[@Heathcoatman]

Same. I think it has more to do with human behavior in general and not just veterans. Often when a guy gets out of the military it takes a while to adjust back to civilian life, and often these guys struggle for direction or to find the new chapter. Ballen became a huge success, which comes with inherent jealousy from those still finding their way in civilian life.

[@saltpeter7429]

Seabee's, CAN DO. My Dad passed in December. He was a proud Navy Sea Bee who served in Vietnam in the late 60's. He wasnt physically wounded in battle, but a big ol' Jungle Rat bit a quarter sized chunk out of his back when he was laying down on his bunk one night. I remember as a kid in the 80's that scar would puss up and get "wierd" and he would go to the VA and get it treated. When it flared up again in the 2000's I would stuff the hole for him with a medical "Wick". Something in the Jungle foliage that Rat was chewing on got right into his system for the rest of his life. Brave Man. When he was told it was over, and had hours to await death he was as relaxed as you could not imagine. I said "Dad, you are a bad ass" in between my tears. He told me I was being a beligerant fool as usual, lol.

Ironically, I found him very interesting when he first started out on Social Media and followed his stories about his time in the SEALs. This copped a bit of flack from his colleagues; they're not really supposed to draw too much attention to what they did. Ironically, now my Mrs loves his crime stuff and I have no interest in that jazz. He really had two quite different appeals as a creator. Admittedly, his second crack was FAR more successful. If you want to hear his full story, he just did a massive pod cast interview on the Shawn Ryan Show.

@Rain-xe5vr I know there will always be some random haters, that's a given, but I didn't know his were so many and so specific in their reasons.

I've heard a few too many stories of what's it like coming home and coping with the after effects on their own. Like my Uncle after VN he camped out in my grandparents basement for almost a year after he just about choked his wife in alive in his sleep. In his 50s before he could hang around vet's sober. Guys crawling under their bed bc thunderstorms, waking up in cornfield in mid winter nude a half mile from home. That's the mild example I'm sure you know. I feel for y'all and you'd think it would be a lot different than it is but it's better than it used to be. Then we have people higher up like Camilla Harris with attitude that men and women who's served are going to have to grow some balls get tough and suck it up!

I've known a few vets that could have benefit from his programs but sadly didn't get that chance as they've past away from self harm. I tried twice to get in the military as my father had served in both the army and marine in the fifty's however; wasn't allowed because of being mostly deaf but i made a effort to get surgery and after surgery i was at a eighty five percent hearing and went back and same recruiter said no way.

He truly does seem to be a genuinely good person who cares about people and has real compassion and a heart of gold... it's awesome to hear someone who has met him give him his due props. If you don't mind me asking, are you in Georgia?? Because that's where I've been born and raised, and you sound like a fellow Georgian! My fiancé saw you in his YT feed and we watched this video because of Mr. Ballen, and we've checked out your other videos and you had us laughing our butts off 😂... and you have earned 2 more subscribers! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY! 🇺🇸 👍 Stay cool, my friend! ❤

Love you brother Love seeing team guys supporting and building up not tearing down God bless

[@starboy1100]

Yes. Life is short. Support those whom you can. Let the rest go, don’t criticize them. Thanks.

[@lightning571]

Chad, I hope you read these. Tears well as I type this message. To you, I don’t exist. We haven’t met yet, but I can’t wait till we do. You remind me of my Sifu, an old country ruffian trained by a couple SEALS. I found your videos around the time he passed. Your authenticity and the warmth of your spirit inspire me. I love to learn from you, laugh with you, and, every now and again, share a tear drawn from the expense of knowledge. Thanks for shining your light.

[@sparenothing1487]

I have been listening to Mr Ballen since he was at like 200k subscribers, heck even my wife loved the stories! We love y’all man

[@hyrumahouse2151]

Mr Ballen's channel is like crack or Lay's, bet ya can't just watch 1.

[@sixshooter268]

Dont understand why folks hate on someone that lives out there training, never quit

[@TrudyMiller-d3y]

I love to listen to Mr Ballen. He's an awesome storyteller. Other than that I really couldn't tell you that much about the man. I know he was in the military, he had trouble transitioning back into civilian life, he overcame that problem and is now helping others to do the same. What's the problem? He is now in a new chapter in his life and is doing very well. I'm very happy for him. I don't care what anybody says about him, I like to listen to his stories. If you read this Mr Ballen, thank you for your service. Thank you for the things that you do for other veterans and people and thank you for your stories.

CHAD AND BALLEN TRUCK TALK VIDEO LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!! two of my favorite guys on YT

[@andreasschluessler6684]

Thank you for your service. From an Australian Navy veteran who could have done with someone like @mr ballen

[@riversavage5608]

Thanks for standing up for that guy (Mr. Ballen) That shows class.

[@Gottiline_Ace]

I could tell from the moment Mr. Ballen popped up on my feed that he was a genuine, kind, caring gentleman. Everything a soldier, a veteran or just a juman being should aspire to be!

[@robinroberts2803]

i’m 62 years young and i love your truck talks and I’m thankful for you and you sharing some of your journey ✌️ peace Man

[@DrivenOnDemand]

It is so awesome to hear stories like this and to learn more about the communities and the people in these communities. I have grown up in a military town and have big respect for our service members. I love seeing the comradery. I love seeing the different perspectives, your life experiences, and your transitions into different stages of life. What you are doing is so important. Please never stop. There are SO many young men with NO good role models that NEED to see people like you, Ballen, etc. I will never understand how some vets can let ego drive them and hate on prior service members doing what they can to help. I don't understand the hate man! To me, all of us are brothers, service or not. Whatever we can do to help eachother, spread knowledge, and leave an impact for our next generation. Thank you so much sir!

[@justanunknownfriend5091]

Semper Fi to all the 5326’s. My best from Nate Lalo Roberti was on Team 10, Axe and Murphy SDV team. BUDS class 247. NEVER FORGET REDWINGS

[@JoeMiner-fd6wh]

Thanks for sharing this story. Love your honesty in sharing your reluctance to engage. My take away is your comment on finding a unique way to help folks. I'm an Army vet, non combat. I served with two men that gave all, invented a stress relief device while in the Army Guard In their honor I donated thousands of devices to service members and veterans. Thanks for the information and story. Cheers!

[@juanhuttoe4517]

Man I love the dude. Never understood why they hated him so much.

[@Clairbella]

People who have bad intentions or the opposite of good hate the ones who are decent people.

[@Devildog1979]

I have followed MrBallen from the beginning, he is an awesome story teller and a great human being!!! God Bless n Semper Fi!!!

[@JeepGirl941]

Nothing is too big for our God! Pray big too! ❤

[@mastrsk8]

Honestly a brave thing to come out and thank someone who was brought down by your community. To see through the bs. I’m not surprised by your bravery and I appreciate the honesty!

[@GaryShaimas]

I am 61 years of age I learn from you Individually way you guy are keep doing the lords work GOD Bless yes he is good individual to listen to Mr Ballard

[@occultustactical6138]

Love Mr. Ballen. It’s nice to see someone speaker kindly of him. Most of the others I hear are always negative. Well done.

[@munchkinlk83]

I love his channel and yours! You guys should do a collaboration with the big foot/mysterious things subjects!

[@geneporreca3848]

So glad you get along with MrBallen. I started listening to him when he first came on KZbin. And then later on he told his life story and he did say he got alot of hate from his community and you can see in his eyes rhat this truly hurt this guy. And i couldn't figure on why they would shun him. Until your video about Jocko,Goggins, Marcus. And now i am so glad you true hero's met. I support all y'all. For putting ur life on the line for our freedom. And the crazy thing is, i wouldn't have even known MrBallen was SEAL until i heard his story about the Afghanistan Giant. But so glad there are guy like u guys out here. God Bless 🙏, and Thank u for your service. God Bless the USA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@arosefortes6507]

Thank you Chad for standing up, speaking up for Mr. Ballen! When I heard him tell his story of how his own brothers treated him, like no way? That's just.. ... Ouch! Unbelievable they'd do that that's f* up, really f*! Too bad! Their decision to think that way, it's all on them! Been watching Mr. Ballen about 4 or 5 yrs now and haven't stopped since, him and Seagull Lung, The Shawn Ryan Show and now you! You guys are awesome and I thank you all for your service! I guess it makes me feel closer to my stepson who served Iraq died in overturned Humvee accident! Which he stressed was a fear bc bad built roads! Thanks again for the videos and your time. Stay blessed ❤

[@mr.mikesart7111]

B.Allen is an inspiration Great to hear veterans talking good about him

[@chrismahermusic5142]

I've watched your videos a few times, but never subscribed. Thank you for your service and thank you for showing respect to a man that doesn't receive that respect as much as he should (not that it fazes him). Serving others without reservation is a man's test in humility to be worthy to serve God. Some serve only themselves and unfortunately some communities are magnets for those unfortunate souls, such is life. God bless you! Subscribed!

[@lm-usmc]

I was actually turned on to MrBallen after Don Shipley mentioned him in one of his vids as a great story teller. Boy, was he right. I don't get the hate, but I know the Veteran community is hate filled, especially when another Vet has found success. Cheers to you Brother. You have an excellent channel as well.

[@freebie925]

I'm glad you are doing well. Thank you for supporting Mr. Ballen

[@HomeOnTheRange]

I feel like you make us feel like that. You never ask for anything other than for us to have a heart about poor Chilly. Let's keep him in the dungeon.

[@Rentcollector]

I don’t enjoy Mr Ballen personally (his channel not the person) but I love his success story. A lot failures that he got past listened to the market and adjusted his platform until he found his success.

[@KC-UT4rmAZ]

Been watching Mr Allen for a long time and he’s an amazing storyteller and seems like a pure genuine humble and all around great guy.

[@yeti6161]

Subscribed to mr. Ballen before I found and subscribed to this channel. Like minds.

[@jimmysmith8158]

I don’t know you, but I love you bro. Thank you for your service. I’m happy you got that small but impactful moment in your life. God bless.

[@richboyd8635]

I wish something like this was in place for my late father in law. He went in the Army Air Corps at 17, serving as an engineer/gunner on B 24’s, retired after 30 years as a Senior Master Sergeant . He proposed numerous efficiency changes that were blown off by the “kids” above him. After he became a civilian the only thing he could find was in shipping in a well known department store. He again made constructive suggestions and again ignored. He had only menial jobs after that. He had always smoked, but it became heavier. He died of Cancer. He had so much to give,but no one listed.

[@stilllearning8360]

@richboyd8635 Well, he obviously succeeded. As an unknown writer once said in part, "If even one person remembers you after you're gone, you have succeeded." You clearly loved and appreciated him and now honor him by sharing your loving memories. He knows and is watching with happiness and appreciation 🤗💙

[@Kimmirisk]

This brought me to tears, and was exactly what I needed to hear today. I myself went through a major life transition, that was very difficult, and I felt ashamed to admit it, priding myself as a strong person who needed nothing from anyone. I’m on the other side and wondering if sharing my story could help others. Thank you for sharing your stories.
