MCRD San Diego was the safest place i had been to in my life up to that point in early 2000. The military is a better place to be than 90% of narcissistic, abusive families. I cherish my time that i had in my twenties actually doing things instead of owing some college to be in a racketeering scheme.

[@MyrmidonPress]

I appreciate that. There are many young folks in that group with troubled homes that need those words

You know bro, I'm a former US Paratrooper/medic from the mid and late 90s. I'm proud of my service. I used to think what we did was for freedom, I'm not so sure that is true anymore. Would I support any youngin going into the service? Yes. Would I talk them into it? No. I believe, serving this blood sucking leach government and bloated politician to get rich over their blood and sacrifice for their continued riches is nasty and immoral. I miss being a medic for grunts. It molded me into what I do now (paramedic for 25 years), I don't miss the Army fuck fuck games, I miss the dudes.

I miss the boys too man. I think it's important we don't lie to the new kids about what it was like. They need to know what can grow from all the BS. Thank you for your service

[@LKS-1976]

@MyrmidonPress and thank you for yours brother. Merry Christmas

[@Generichjm]

Nice!

Amen son

[@Ace1337Sonny]

Thank you for your service! I’ve learned a lot from your videos. Any chance you can make an EDC video? And maybe a backpack video?

[@MyrmidonPress]

I plan on updating what I may have. Check the Instagram for hours of stuff. myrmidon_press

youtube algorithm works in mysterious ways. Dont have a vet that loves me to ask any of this but do have vet guys I know, have asked about service and they all said to do it. Happy I saw this video and thank you for uploading it. I am thinking of joining UK military to become a combat medic, if thats any relevance.

[@MyrmidonPress]

It is. Like I said find somebody who loves you and won't BS anything. If you are called it will become clear after some kind words

[@ChileVerdeDavid]

Im thinking of joining the marines but im 27 and I feel i romanticize the idea. Im just scared of being trapped in a bad deal with immature guys giving me hell.

[@MyrmidonPress]

Nobody likes being the new guy. But in my experience the older guys were pushed towards lower leadership faster due to their age. I was 21 when I got to my unit which made me "pops". There are so many before you that have made the trip. First id say go officer if you're older and have a degree. Second, get your fitness in order it will make the transition much easier and you'll thank yourself when your 30th birthday comes around.

Had a few mid to late 20 year olds in my platoon at boot camp. Went to MOS school with a couple more, plus a guy who was 35.

With respect as a fellow veteran, the whole adventure thing is bull. Tell them what would happen if you went outside dressed like that or a neighbor saw you. The same people that told you how proud they were of you would have your freedom taken away because you make them nervous. They will continually detain you abusing state “red flag” laws until you leave the state. The veteran communities speaks for itself you see all the videos of veterans calling out others for stolen valor or shaming them because they asked for help. I’m proud of my service to this nation, I’ve done more than most people will do their entire life in a matter of four years, but I lost EVERYTHING. But I’d do it all over again 😂 Semper Fi

[@Sasquelch]

Also “was a Marine” WTF

[@MyrmidonPress]

I think i may still be full of whimsy and zeel my brotha. I understand what you're saying for sure

[@Sasquelch]

@@MyrmidonPress I’m glad you’re hanging in there bud, seems like you got some brothers by your side as well. Keep trucking and good luck on your future endeavors.

Military service is good, but not today under the neocons and the ruling elite of today. Read Smeadley Butler's book he was on the money about how the military is often used and what the wars are usually about. My time in the Marines is the proudest thing I have ever done but I was somewhat blinded by my dreams of glory and honor.

[@MyrmidonPress]

I feel that. Some of these kids got hope though. I don't think we should dash dreams, just manage reality and expectations

[@Generichjm]

Ever hear of John Bolton?

[@Generichjm]

How’s George W Bush and his boyfriend Obama doing lately?

[@jollycrocodile6211]

Serving ZOG isn't honorable.

Thank God we live in America!
