I was in RASP when Kobe died. One of the cadre made us sprint and touch that fuckin wall 24 times in honor of Kobe lmao This was after like a 2 hour smoke session with the worms and bear crawls. RASP was completely gnarly, feels like a fever dream thinking back on it.

did you make it through, brother?

The Cole Range memories remain with me to This day. 2008 RIP, before it became RASP. My cadre were SSG Shanaman, SSG Kap, SSG Edward’s. If you know you know. Best and worst time of my life. Crazy that Kap and Shanaman are gone now. Life’s crazy RLTW

Really good episode, I watch a lot of content with veterans and still Cameron had a lot of unique perspectives on his service. The domestic use of force bit was also news to me, kinda shocked to hear it. It has to be such a surreal and conflicted feeling operating in a home turf environment. Thank you for sharing your story and thanks to the channel, you guys do amazing work.

Great video man.

[@Tactticlown]

2:07:20 I’m in the same boat, I was medically retired last year and when I got my DD214 I had 80$ to my name because I had to pay for a transmission replacement in my truck, I had to crash on a friends couch for a week till I got my final paycheck so I could afford the gas home, and then I had to move back in with my dad. I did 4 1/2 years in the Marine Corps and before the corps I worked in the oilfield, I had no skills and no schooling to transfer over, I was lost, and honestly I still am, doing shit part time security right now trying to figure out my life. Growing up all I wanted was to be a Marine, and my career ended early due to a back injury, so now I’m 24 and feel like I’m extremely behind everyone else my age.

[@Perez1492]

Almost 40 years ago same happened to me was out three months shy of Panama watching my unit patch on CNN , I lost my shit ,you want to do your job. Military doesn't train you up for that and nothing slates that feeling of duty.

[@josephwilson1333]

I’ve been in both branches. When I was in Fuji we had a guy get drunk and piss in the middle of the squad bay while he was getting yelled at by the duty guy. As he was pissing he said “I’m not even pissing”. Also have seen a lot more dumb people and undisciplined people in the army though. Had a soldier show up in the PT uniform but had combat boots on…

A drill saw me and asked what unit i was in a happened to know one of my DS called him and said u got 5 mins to get to ur troop area, long story short got a nice like 3 or 4 hour smoke sesiion for "b bopping around like im in the hood" exact words from the DS 😂

Dude you had it easy. I remember when I got to my infantry unit in 2007 and my unit actually just got back from Iraq in Sadr City of 2006. They absolutely destroyed us. We would have to get up 3am every morning to clean their shit. While they sleep in until 7am. We got off work late around 7-8pm. We had to basically living in the motor pool for about a month straight.

I’m wondering if probationers have a search waiver in CA or it it was part of his probation. Unfortunately many times, police officers don’t have discretion in these situations. Especially with gun laws in CA

[@yujirohanma8880]

Get Saga of Chris on the podcast he was a navy SWCC operator

[@IcanDriveIt]

I was 41 clubbed out of airborne school. It was super disappointing because I really wanted to join the Marines and did since I was a child. But I was lured away by the thought of being a paratrooper by my JROTC instructors. only for it to be dashed on day one. Then you’re doing bitch details for the airborne school until you get orders somewhere else. The worst part of that was the NCOs treating you like trash for failing the PT standard but I’m like dude I got a 275 on my PT test. It was an every day very personal harassment by those clowns. In basic everyone gets fucked with in a group. There it was being singled out and personally insulted and denigrated. Then they hide behind their rank. I lost a lot of respect for the Army as an organization there. It didn’t get better once I got to my unit.

[@Deliweez]

Good on you man. But I never understood how people can join and go through all the trials to become special ops just to do one contract 4-5 years and then get out. Doesn’t make sense to me, all that work for nothing pretty much.

[@Ferg173rd]

I’m betting the deployment cycle slowing down even being in Regiment played a role. I got out in 2016 and my last deployment was just different in OEF XV. I agree though. Shit happens I guess

[@Deliweez]

@@Ferg173rd makes sense. He explained to me his reasoning also and it seems like all the training and then having slow deployment made it hard to want to keep going at it.

[@YOURMOM-mu2yv]

“For nothing pretty much” is WILD you’re a turd

[@Jay-fq8uz]

Nothing going on. You get tired you get different ideas. You think of greener grass. The military is very glorified and looked at as cool but in reality it’s stressful, you don’t see your family, and it can be very depressing. Or should I say feelings of impending doom. So outside look in I could easily understand that thought process but if you been in you know exactly how easy it is to get out.
