Army tried to recruit me and turned out I made more than the recruiter who contacted me. I was trying so hard not to laugh, yeah like imma give up this for being degraded and crawling in mud with camo and live like a homeless man.

I am a navy brat. My father was a frog man then a seal when they changed their name . He said before the Vietnam war started they were taking out some of the man men that needed to go . He would also state when he went into a bar with his friends green berets were also the first to start trouble an my father an his friends lauded them out everytime! Btw your hilarious!!

Veteran of Navy, Coast Guard, and Army. Coast Guard was the toughest basic, and the most adventurous service.

If you did Air Force it would have been your easiest. I spent most of basic laughing, cracking jokes, and ummm....yea we had a sister flight in our Squadron.

@@Mercenary-1914 One of the toughest men I met was at Army basic, and he said the same about AF basic. Whatever he did there made him an intimidating and capable soldier though. One of the funniest, twisted, and awesome people I have ever met. Did you see Owen's worst cop video? I think you cough appreciate it.

@@kilhattrick I don't buy that for one second I did basic at ft benning georgia and did ranger school and served in the ranger regiment ..I am not buying for one second that coast guard basic is the hardest .. absolutely not 😂

@@slow_rednline4874 I did my Army basic at Ft. Sill where they train combat medics and artillery. It is not Ft. Benning brother. Ft. Sill was also my third run, so it was easy. I would not dare say that Sill and Benning are even at the same level. Happy you earned it though.

Joined twice, the Marines first, then later in life the Army. I was blessed to have honest recruiters both times.

The grenade story is so freaking funny. And I hear him.

[@ernesthofmeister3054]

As a two Service Vet i can tell you this, the Marines won't lie to you, but then again they don't promise a thing except becoming a Marine, the Army on the otherhand promises everything and delivers little including a bonus i never got......Marine for life, Army for a second!
