Speaking as someone who served four years in the Marines (1984-1988), four years in the Army (1988 -1992), three years in the National Guard (1992-1995), I really like what you're doing here with this channel. Very informative for anyone who is thinking of serving in the military. I rejoined the military when I turned 40 ten years ago and served a few more years. The young troops seemed to value my expertise and knowledge, it seemed as though they weren't as well trained as we were back in the eighties and nineties. It's nice to see there are leaders like yourself out there, you have solid strategies to ensure your troops are trained to the best of their abilities.

Been a long 9 months but I've never been more determined to get my ass in there and do my fucking best at anything. Thank God for this injury. It has humbled me and given me a new outlook on how I spend my time and helped me grow as a person and I believe this lesson will help me so much when I'm in there.

wow! wish my PL was a jock like you! I was in Camp Casey in 78-79 and we didn't have squat for a gym! we had enough free weights (really old) at the gym if you can call it that! I'm jealous. I was a tank commander in the 2/72 armor. as far as food goes you ate in the mess hall if you can call it that or you starved. I'm really proud of young leaders like you. I was a jock like you compared to the rest of the guys. 1980 I made the All Army powerlifting team at the 198lb class.

I only had a TO platoon when we deployed to Desert Shield. When I first picked up my platoon, I had 22 Marines and 1 Corpsman. A TO platoon at the time was 43 Marines and 3 Corpsmen. Anyway good video. I like that you consult your Platoon Sergeant. After all, the backbone of the service is the NCO. Cheers

Staff Sargeant Jennings... and I sat down for a little 1 on 1, free speech time away from our soldiers. He informed me that he would let me know when I was ready to take over his platoon, lol... "Sir, don't you worry, I'll let you know when you're ready to take over, and command MY platoon." (emphasis on the word "my", lol) I learned so much from him.

Ashling Malone he is an officer which means he gets to relax and not answer to anyone except the XO which is the executive officer and the CO which is the commander. All this gym time and him walking to work when he wants to is officer bullshit. Enlisted have it way worse it’s more manual labor and long days. He’s built like a tank because he can go to the gym for hours without anyone calling him making him work till 8 or longer.

@@rasher331 I have a feeling his can go to SHIT in a real hurry...with no opportunity to resign. I know from my time in '86-'88 (as an 2LT, 1LT) that when you were "on" (whether time and energy draining non-war [back then...not counting ongoing Cold War]), you didn't have time for shit. But when you were off, you tried to make the most of it. I had little luck myself because when I got back from field, I was behind two weeks of meetings, staff shit, nuke surety drills (Arty BN S-2). But...that was a long time ago. I was a workout dog but I sadly gave it up during my time with Uncle Sugar. One of the reasons I moved on. And of course, as soon as I resign, Cold war, after 45 yrs, ends and my friend comes to Ft. Polk (yr after I leave) and tells me how there's no training money and he spends all his time...in the gym (humble though it was)!! Gotta luv it.

Nick! Any aspirations for Ran Bat (not just school) or selection/Q man? I did both during my time. Keep that PT up and don't be afraid to aspire to serve in that higher capacity brother. It will also inspire your troops... After OCS (I was also an 11A, prior service though), I actually felt that FTXs drained troop strength/work rate (PT scores always go down) and were NOT good indicators of duties during deployment/battle rhythm. Also, during my 8yr tenure, I never got WHY joes respected the tabs so much-I actually think it is more envy than respect. When youre triple tabbed, ppl ask stupidest questions and look at you like you're another sprees or something. You're still young-put in that 4187 for selection bro, trust me you won't regret it

[@ChickenHawk110]

Hi there. I spent 10 years in the Australian infantry battalions. Your attitude towards physical fitness is fantastic. It definitely improves combat readiness. The only thing I can possibly add, is NEVER order your soldiers to do a task you are not willing or capable of doing yourself. If you ask your troops to swim in sewerage, than you need to prove that you are happy to swim in sewerage yourself. If you "ask" (not order) your troops to do a task, that the troops know you are more than willing to do that task yourself inclusive your your own sweat, blood and tears, than it is likely your troops will follow your orders because of your own demonstrated leadership strength. They will follow your leadership to death. Just my own experience.

@Hammerschlägen M but all that shit aside, if things are done right by both NCO and junior officer, by the time LT makes it to Captain, he, by his own learning and observation and trial and error, combined with guidance from NCO, should be on his way to being an effective leader. Or are you going to say that top runs company and capt, too, is an idiot? I guess that goes to BN, where the SGM is in charge of BN maneuver tactics. I get what youre saying until kid can find the men's room but if that silly shit goes on two long, I'd guess THAT Lt would not be around long...certainly not past Cpt.

I loved the part 4:15ish talking to the Platoon Sergent. I'm USMC Enlisted Infantry. My best Platoon Commander was 3rd generation officer and 2nd generation Naval Academy. My Platoon Commander nailed it. His dad (like his dad before) busted his little (I'm special, I'm an officer) bubble and told him to learn every thing he possibly could from his Platoon Sergent and everyone else under his command. They have experience, you don't. Our first "Get to know you formation" was amazing. The other platoons were pissed off about getting another butter bar. Ours was in a state of shock. "I think he's going to be all right". He then told us they guys history. This was peace time, but our senior enlisted had combat experience. The Platoon Sergent, in this video, seemed to be as diplomatic as possible. What did he think of you? He thought you were a worthless drain on his resources that he had to train. The question in his mind was "will this be an easy trainee?" or "pain in the ass trainee?" DON'T be a pain in the ass. Learn everything you can. If what you "know" contradicts what your enlisted "know" listen. And listen again. Ask why they think they are right. And What can you do better.

Sterno cooking Ramen de canteen cup was our usual only 'snack' other than mess hall hours, and we still had ration cards.

Come on man, you don't have to prove yourself to a random entity on the internet.

[@AnglerOutdoors]

Yea anyone with the username duuuuuuuuuuuh doesnt need to have anything proven to him.

[@lionkills1]

haha me 2 man. It feels good to be a civilian again, but i do miss the commissary, tricare, and gyms.

[@pabs7135]

Thanks for serving in Korea. I really appreciate it.

[@김규동-w2p]

Good Evening, sir I am a high school student living in Seoul. I guess you would be re-assigned into somewhere else, since you said that it is fifth month in nine month deployment to South Korea in your video. But still, I really want to thank you for your service from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for your effort to make my country a more safer place to live.

[@seankim9143]

He's no longer in the Army and as you can see other videos on his channel, he's a multi millionaire business owner based off in Texas.

[@bullahair]

[@BIGBG74]

[@BIGBG74]

+Wooten thanks man but ignorance need not be acknowledged....but the proof is my DD214.....the fact that I did Basic at Fort Sill, OK in 1997...and deployed to Kuwait in 1998...fuck these young ignorant keyboard pirates...hooah.lol

[@outlawthree6576]

[@DeemShane]

Aye another 13b brother, redlegs are the king of battle

[@myman50grand]

Ok, lunch is super 'bro-tastic'.. I love it! (hahaahahahaha) And your Sgt looked a bit nervous

[@arachnidsgamingworld]

nick good on you mate brings some memorys back for me i joined 93 left 2002 what a amazing life it was

[@adambrooks2297]

I am impressed, I never saw Army guys running and lifting as much as you are,or were,except for Rangers! I am a Marine who has done training with Rangers and been stationed at a Army base before!

[@marcuspayne9744]

There were lots of soldiers stationed with me at Bragg that lifted and ran a lot on their on. The Army has the best of all the Branches the Gyms, Field Houses, and Workout equipment. Check out U.S. Army 1st Sergeant Diamond Ott based out of Ft. Hood. He has lots of videos on KZbin. The guy is a beast.

[@erik123362]

God bless you SFC Muniz for putting up with this PL. Keep that 550 cord close hand, this one will wander off and get lost if you're not careful. But dont worry, like he said 50 times, Hes the baws! he writes them orders!

[@Killspec]

haha

[@serax]

LMFAO Crushed him like a sandcastle.

[@kevinzhang3313]

2nd lts need to humble to put up with shitsacks like you and learn from the ncos around them and their beginning experiences, how else do they become truly competent commanders!

[@jasonpressler7111]

He launched so many insults his way and the LT didn't catch one.

[@alexoxendine2522]

Thank you for your service🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@guitarcody90]

keep doing military videos man. gives your channel an edge other fitness channels dont have. Also, youre not going to be in much longer so use it as a tool while you have it!

[@joevoter6158]

Thanks for your service brother! I was about to join up at 18 but the chief of police said id have a full time job as soon as i finished the academy so I decided to do LE. If you ever leave the military you can be my beat partner any day!

[@KILRHOYBeats]

just etsd in june, freedom feels good. out of all the infantry pls, I only had the privilege of serving with one amazing pl that was an absolute machine!

[@EzraB123]

Lmao, he's such an officer. That is all.

[@vsar1938]

Hey Nick I asked a while back if you could do an rotc experiece video and was wondering if you would be able to get that up anytime soon

[@nickbarefitness]

I'll try and get one up.

[@_Dolofonia]

Yeah, I'm planning on going to ROTC in college and I'm really interested in what he has to say.

[@snipedout38]

Hey if you don't mind me asking what ecatly is ROTC and what does it stand for?

[@vsar1938]

+Vipermilsim-22 Reserve Officers' Training Corps during college you take military classes and have pt 3 days a week you can do that for 4 yrs also receiving a scholarship or you can do it for 2 years after you complete a 28 day leadership training course in kentucky. Search army rotc to find out more.

[@snipedout38]

thanks man I appreciate it!

[@USMCKong0311]

So is an infantry platoon leader in the Army equivalent to an infantry platoon commander in the Marines?

[@nickhang1630]

Killa-King Kong yes, it is.

[@Mary-gr3mr]

Nick, I'm applying to go to Navy OCS after I graduate from my university. I hope to be as good as an officer as you are. You're the man.

[@jamesbenjamin7035]

Keep up the good work LT.....remember that your PSG and 1st SGT are watching you every day....there are two reps that follow every new PL....and you know which one is the most important...

[@bseries8826]

Oh shit..i thought you were Matt Ward lmao..anywho, good vid

[@justjump-qr1ts]

Same

[@BDCOSTA97]

Guess I'm not going to sleep again right now

[@nickbarefitness]

[@godkonggr5916]

Lul the guy looks like a buff version of ninja.

[@jamesmello5358]

Im in a middle school program and right now I'm a First Lieutenant and a company commander :) will be a Captain soon.

[@lodgearchitect2542]

Soon as I saw the room behind you, I instantly teleported back to South Korea in 2009-2010. I was at Camp Stanley, also worked in Camp Red Cloud, Camp Casey, and of course, Yongsan Garrison. Last I heard, Camp Stanley was going away. Not sure about the others. Oh, and I worked at Camp Jackson. So much in one year in Korea, not to mention all the other places I went to. I miss the Army.

[@matix8436]

He reminds me of Austin Evans, if Austin Evens was on insane amounts of steroids.

[@zanew5433]

HONESTLY how do people dislike videos that just gives people information about stuff?!?! Must be haters!

[@MrIhavedonuts]

Zane W it’s the fact he is a LT and he comes off in a cocky attitude and likes saying how much HE commands the platoon and having the NCOs execute his orders.

[@danielpae9774]

can you even land nav?

[@forunlawfulcar-nalknowledg1081]

Daniel Pae can’t spell lost without LT. 😂

[@andrew-kl1iq]

Crazy. I wanted to see how long I’ve been watching nick. I just watched his iron man episode 2. Crazy how I’ve seen nick progress and grow his business and turn into an iron athlete

[@Wolfkin18]

That was interesting seeing a fellow Soldier that has a great deal going on and still gets stuff done.

[@zlionz]

thats some nice accommodation.

[@teller121]

Nothing like Ft. Puke, LA, 1986-88, let me tell ya. Of course, we were in the field so much during Reagan's last yrs, it wouldn't have mattered if we'd had a SoCal-quality Gold's there!!

[@celrolla7760]

am going to the marines after high school

[@tonka511]

How are you now?

[@skully8178]

No, that’s a mistake my dude

[@RealMrSoloDolo]

You in the marines yet?

[@celrolla7760]

The Baba Yaga not yet sir I pass the asvab that they provide for us at my highschool I got a 64 I’m working with a recruiter at the moment so I can go down to MEPS to swear In

[@WhyBeUgly]

Man there's a lot of salty enlisted guys in the comments. Feeling inadequate?

[@gunsmoke3301]

WBU39 Haven’t spent a day in their lives outside of the military, too dumb and too scared to go to college and commission.

[@limited50scla]

Seems like I am going to use some of the meals you Prep. I'm loosing weight. I'm at 245. Was 199.1 last year December 11th. I was 265 in may/June last year. Did a crash diet. My best friend passed away dec. 11, and I stopped caring and gained weight. I have been going to the gym twice a week for the last two week. Trying to make it atleast 5 days. Thank you for your service. You are pushing me to get back into shape and I know it's a long short but would like to get into shape as you are.

[@DrJustininJapan]

YOU ARE THE AMERICAN DREAM!!! CONGRATS (watching this video 5 years after first posted)
