RgrSchool always helped to put life into some perspective. Ranger Perspective, Example, for me yesterday, I had just finished a 3 day mountain hike and camping, and only ate breckfast yesterday morning, We trie to finish harder in the heat, and ended up missing lunch, drank a load of water but nothing to eat, at the end of the day I arrived back at the village to catch my train back home and we quickly run into a shop to grab a snadwich. I ate the sandwich and thought to myself, "I'm still not as hungry as I was in Ranger School". and this can cover everything, still not as cold, hot, hurting, tired, etc..". That school helps to do several things. Find your character, and build your character. RLTW.

[@Aikidoman06]

Mike Box .ranger perspective is right. I filter everything through my ability to do without food, water, sleep, endure cold and wear wet cloths while shivering continually.

[@rascal0175]

Mike Box Ranger school is a frame of reference. The army said it was intended to make you so miserable that everything you did after ranger training would seem easy, including going to war. I got my tab nearly 50 years ago, and did spend 30 years at war. The process works. Nothing was ever as hard as that school. Too bad the boys at ANTIFA have no idea what is coming there way. I’m still ready to go to war against those who would bring harm to the USA. Hell, we all are.

[@mikebox]

Rascal01 indeed.

[@samuelestevez6535]

@@rascal0175 fuck yeah u are what this country need bro. Im planning to join the army..... How do i sign for the rangers as quick as possible?

[@notavaliable5382]

Ranger school doesn't make you a Ranger

[@amisner2k]

Any man brave enough to admit he peed his pants and post a video of that admission on KZbin, automatically earns my respect. I believe they award the Yellow Cross for that particular display of courage. :)

[@airborneshag1508]

Nah if you have been there you peed your pants at some point FL has a bunch of my urine

[@rascal0175]

Aaron Misner - What? Just about everyone in ranger school pisses in their pants. When you are in the Florida phase in the swamps day and night in water waste to neck deep, when you gotta take a leak, you take it. In cold weather you may be warm for 30 seconds. Besides that, you are so tired and miserable you could care less...

[@MrBrandonata]

It be like that. I peed my pants at airborne. They dont let you go to the bathroom and you sit there in the chute shed for hours before the planes even arrive.

[@rascal0175]

brandon keierleber - That’s the thing about airborne no one tells you. You think it’s about finding the courage to jump. Then you find out it doesn’t take courage at all. They make you so miserable in that airplane with heat or cold, not being able to take a leak, and flying like they are avoiding flak, that if they would open the door at 500 feet you would jump without a parachute. As soon as you get out of your chute you stand up and piss, just like every other paratrooper that made it to the ground. And brother, that’s everybody.

[@dianecurtis6398]

Too funny

[@fiestacassarole]

Real Rangers Recycle! Did mountains and Florida twice. Your vid brought back great memories. Miss the military every day. Class 06-02

[@Axefoleyable]

Best stories happen in the infantry. Ex British infantry soldier and just got recommended this video. GL on the career.

[@BoornIdentity]

On the battlefields of Catterick...

[@Axefoleyable]

Those where the days, Me and my mate used to see who could get beasted the most just for a laugh lol. Nights out in Darlington on the weekend remember them like it was yesterday.

[@BoornIdentity]

+MR Bandito Dirty Darlo... "What week are you on, mate? Week 7? I'm week 9, you fucking crow bag" 😂

[@Axefoleyable]

Got MD in 2010-2011 mate, finished the 26 week training in 2009. As if they still use the crow names haha. GL, to be honest it becomes a bit more relaxed at about 14 to 15 weeks into training. Cant remember the name that they give the quarry but if you get proper beasted there it will be painful.

[@BoornIdentity]

MR Bandito The land of nod! Been in for 2 years now, and that place still makes me shudder.

[@joshw.2739]

My dad was in the 1995 ranger school class in which 4 died of hypothermia in the swamp phase. He now teaches in BS&L at West Point and one of the awards given to cadets is named after one of those who died in his class.

[@lauren4690]

My husband is there right now, when he comes back I'll have to show him this video and see what stories he had!

[@hoytman3id]

Love the stories, thanks. I was Fort McCoy pre mobe for Iraq. Our Company decided to do a urine test for entire company. Woke us up at 4am and couldn't go to the bathroom till your turn for the test. 4 hours of pure pain.

[@nickbarefitness]

Urinalysis's are no fun!

[@austinreynolds4911]

"Started with peeing my pants, ended with peeing on somebody"😂😂😂

[@fadedbyjac9058]

Can you make a video on training/preparing for Ranger School? Would be really beneficial for some of us military folks that watch your channel!

[@nickbarefitness]

Yeah I'll put something together.

[@bigplayer2382]

I started pre ranger the cycle after you graduated. Was great to go back down memory lane and hear other peoples stories. It's always shocking how much you forget about that school

[@afro__g5217]

Did you earn the Ranger tab?

[@ronanclarke4322]

I'm Irish, now aged 31 and wanted to join the US military when I was a young lad after I had finished secondary school (high school). I remember at the age of 17 ringing the US embassy here in Ireland and looking for information on how I would go about in becoming a US Army Ranger. A female Marine picked up the phone and just start laughing at me then hung up, I rang back a second time hoping to get in contact with someone who would take the time to explain to me the route I needed to take but the phone rang out so that dishearten me and I never rang back again. I still never know to this day why she was laughing but how and ever.... So after this I went to college for a few months and decided that I should have went with my gut and joined the military so I dropped out of college and joined the Irish Army instead. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life and I served two great years with them. I love these videos you make about the times you have had during training because it always reminds me of the good times I had back when I served. Thanks for all your posts Nick.

[@jordank7812]

Probably because you have to be American to join the American military ? I dunno just a hunch ...

[@PJIZBOSS]

+SOFA DO SOMETHING No you dont. Joining the military is a route you can take to gain citizenship in America.

[@jordank7812]

+PJ Vesek then she probably was laughing at him because at the time you had to be American at the time . I know what your talking about , that wasn't introduced until recently .

[@PJIZBOSS]

+SOFA DO SOMETHING Yeah probably

[@manu89bike]

+PJ Vesek not true. I'm Italian and live in USA and I'll join the army as soon as I get the green card (married to an army veteran). The Army will not claim responsibility for immigration processes. You can join the us army IF you are a LEGAL permanent resident, green card holder. You COULD join the army via MAVNI in case you've been a LEGAL resident in the USA for 2 years at least and in that case you'd have gotten the citizenship faster. Since 2009 the USCIS established that any LEGAL resident who joins the military can earn the citizenship at the end of basic combat training since they take the willingness to serve the country as a proof of loyalty to the USA. You CANNOT join the us army if you're not a legal resident in the USA or green card holder.

[@jimo1759]

I got pulled out of the dumpster while doing fire guard at 2:00am at Benning in between phases by Colonel Tex Turner back in the mid 80’s. They had marched us into the chow hall to eat that night and only gave us a few minutes to eat Chicken, green beans, corn and biscuits. After the 3rd pass walking by the dumpster at 2:00am, I couldn’t control myself. Needless to say I got a huge ass chewing from him, had to unload my cargo pockets full of biscuits but he didn’t drop me from the course and he really should have (Non-authorized Food) Such a cool man! He screamed at me “in 20 yrs of military service I have never pulled anyone out of a trash can”. Funny the same morning a few hrs later at PT while doing hello Dolly’s and flutter kicks, the RI’s were walking around asking “where’s roster 79” so the Colonel must have gone back and told them all what he found.

[@LouisDMichael]

Lt. Peepants! Just goofing. Congrats on making it through ranger school. Love the channel you've got going!

[@tacticalveterinarian]

HAHAHA That last story was hilarious, thanks for sharing your experiences!

[@nickbarefitness]

haha thanks! Glad you enjoyed.

[@scottgarber7985]

7/14/2014 was my last day in the military! I always love learning what people were doing when I was doing something- puts perspective on yourself and the world~

[@NothingbutaGFrang]

THE QUALITY OF YOUR VIDEOS IS INSANE. YOU PUT SO MUCH WORK IN, CANT WAIT FOR THE RE-BRAND.

[@nickbarefitness]

Thanks! I'm really looking forward to this new launch.

[@tchimmerroks]

Once was on a bus ride to Fort Hunter Liggett along the California Coast for some training and it was like the never-ending drive. Asked the bus driver to stop, and he refused; discomfort just about became uncontrolled release. I paid another soldier $5 for his unfinished, Gator Aid bottle, filled it without a moment to spare.

[@colindavidson4832]

Love hearing about your stories I leave in August for basic and can't wait!

[@nickbarefitness]

Good luck!

It's so convenient! Thanks Gina.

[@phoenix6064]

For 3 years I taught the UH-60 course at Ft Rucker. Every time I had a class that did the ranger mission we brought Pizza or burgers and Gatorade. The Ranger Cadre always told us not too, but we always did anyways. Somebody must have got caught.

[@RangerCaptain11A]

i walked up to a blackhawk parked because it was super foggy. i knocked on the door, and everyone on the crew was devouring something that smelled good. they offered me some hot chocolate, but i passed on it. i thought it was a trick.

[@oppoh739]

[@nickbarefitness]

Wait till I'm back! Thank you!

[@CertifiedNinja3]

My favorite story from ranger school was when I was in Darby, I was on my 2nd look BTL for ambush, and we finished emplacing security, SBF and the assault line all the squad leader has to do was crawl out and emplace the claymore. Idk how this happened but he low crawled out to the road, placed the claymore and then fell asleep with the claymore still in hand. The RI heard snoring, like this guy was out, white light the road and found him. Somehow by the grace of god I still got my GO on that ambush

[@stevo425]

new sub, you should have 200,000 subs! content is on point bro keep up the good work and thank you for your service.

[@nickbarefitness]

Thanks! I appreciate that!

[@robertprice9052]

Old school Ranger School we had Desert Phase in Utah. On the tarmac before our jump into Florida Phase I took trash to the dumpster with my Ranger Buddy. I found a Honey Bun with a bite out of it on the ground. I stuck it in my cargo pocket for me and my Ranger Buddy to eat on the DZ in Florida. During JMPI the RI ripped my cargo pocket off and kicked me and my Ranger Buddy's ass! We had to recycle the Phase. On the last day of the Phase I saw a RI buy a Honey Bun from a machine take a bite out of it and drop it on the ground by the dumpster.... I took the trash again and threw it in the jumpster.....

[@muttonangler4150]

Im glad to see our combat leaders are good people. Would love to see this guy make it to the top! We need more intelligent hard working guys like him as leaders and examples for our young people!

[@Creativejeenius]

Happy 4th/Independence Day, Nick. Thanks for your bravery in serving our country. And for general awesomeness in your videos and stuff. It's very inspiring, to say the least :)

[@nickbarefitness]

Thank you! I appreciate the support.

[@sillygoose9054]

Didn't expect those stories but made me laugh. Happy 4th man

[@nickbarefitness]

haha thanks!

[@gotwa229]

Regarding your story at 12:30, I witnessed the exact same thing when I was at Ft. Benning -- albeit during my last week of 11B OSUT. I'm sitting on my top bunk at Treadwell Barracks on Sand Hill with less than three days before our graduation from 13 weeks of OSUT. The night before, the entire company was celebrating with pizza and beers at the mini-PX on Sand Hill and by 10pm, everyone is back in their bunks in the platoon bay. Around 3 or 4 in the morning, I wake up and I'm sitting in my top bunk and witnessed another guy in my platoon -- who was still slightly drunk -- walk past my bunk on the way to the latrine. As he straggles over, he stops well short of it, suddenly pulls down his shorts and start peeing on the covers of the guy whose bunk was closest to the latrine entrance. Pretty soon, that unfortunate guy wakes up and starts yelling, and the next thing you know, all the lights go on in the bay and everyone is going "what the"? Definitely a WTF moment, and something that I always thought was a one-off event related to this guy's sleepwalking while inebriated. I guess it's not unusual after all, and perhaps par for the course. Great Vlog btw. Your stories are hilarious and your focus is intense.

[@RangerCaptain11A]

we had a guy not show up for formation, so we tore the place up to find him. when we did, he was sound asleep below an open window. he sleep - parachuted out the window, but only fell three feet, so the plf didn't even wake him up.

The realization of "yeah I'm just gonna pee my pants" you gotta do what you gotta do

[@scodude12]

Great stories bro ... I can relate. I had Some similar drone experiences. Instead of peeing on my buddy .. I got out of my two person shelter half and was sleep walking and tore down my tent in the middle of a huge rainstorm. My ranger buddy was not a happy ranger. I also dumped a ranger buddies ruck in a patrol base in the mountains... in my sleep. Epic fail .. lol. Graduated and never forget a single day

[@danyh1100a]

Hey Nick, I found your channel through the suggested videos. I am completely hooked on your channel. I instantly subbed and upon further research, found out about your business and bought a shaker bottle. I am currently in Army ROTC in Virginia, aspiring to do everything that you do.

You probably had my buddy as an RI in Mountains. RI Bangura. The stuttering foreign black guy. Love him like a brother. RLTW!

[@timt2268]

Hey, new to the channel, so if this was covered earlier, sorry. I had 2 thoughts. 1) Have you been deployed, and how did you overcome the longer duration of a deployment with workouts and diet. 2) Your channel centers around the life of a PL with personal workouts and nutrition. What would be interesting is an entire Army career coupled with similar personal goals. I realize this is not your niche, but an interesting thought of mine. As positions change, professional requirements change which would influence personal goals. Thanks for the videos.

[@keon1123]

Upload consistency is great this weekend. Really hope you had a great 4th of July out there. I cant wait to get back to the U.S. and celebrate and im sure the same for you!

You should do a video on how to prepare for ranger school, I plan on enlisting after the summer and my goal is to be in the 75th ranger regiment.

[@joshflowers4876]

Why the 75th? Sorry I don't know much about the US army as I'm British but just curious : )

[@zachnichols4043]

Then you'll being going to RASP first not Ranger School.

[@zachnichols4043]

+Future Green Berets Channel If you want to be in the 75th at all you have to go to RASP. He said he wanted to be in the 75th so he will have to go to RASP, option 40 or not it doesn't matter.
