Off The Record: Interviewing an Army Ranger, Marine Raider & a Navy Seal

[@Yoni-b9z]

The vibes i get from every guy Ranger - tough Seal - charismatic Raider - humble

[@notapplicable4567]

Fr, I'm sure they would all be great in a stack together

[@6703445]

really? It seemed like the ex-Seal dude didn't even really want to be there tbh. The ranger and raider filled in the awkward silence for him.

[@ImmrtlKeew]

I feel like they all deserve an episode to themselves it would be nice to get more in depth to their part in the team.

[@heyitsjone]

idk about the navy seal but the Army ranger and Marine Raider have been on for a few episodes each alrready, should def check those out if you enjoyed this one,. i feel you tho i really enjoy these lol

Don Tran already got his, go check out Urban Valor for his interview, my man came a LONG WAY from stealing clothes in the Long Beach mall.

[@c_pistons9989]

@@m1obu5t62 I really don't think it mattered. He did not ask any insensitive questions or anything, they were all having a good time. This isn't a professional news station interview, and I really think that the Veterans probably enjoy the casual feel to this interview over the usual serious ones.

the lethality on the host side table with Dom, Trung and Mike goes crazy. So cool to get to see their explanation of their experiences.

Just wanna say keep up the good work, this podcast is a gem, long story short, I used to live in the LBC/Carson/Artesia/Cerritos areas and recently moved to temecula 7 years ago and was sad I was away from my friends, I found your page from IG and I can’t stop watching them, y’all make me feel like I’m home when watching, same banter and humor that I’m used to, much love y’all, wished I’d found you guys earlier

[@YourCh0c0lat3]

Please have a part 2! I love listening to these people's life stories 🙏🏼🫶🏼

[@sweetiepie7917]

My baby brother just joined the marines he left for boot camp about a month ago. My family is really close and it’s been a bit rough without him here at home. I miss him every single day, he insisted and in the grand scheme of things he really does need this. Still counting down the days for his graduation to see him again. 😊

[@pamt9543]

Best decision of his life. If they have counterintelligence in the Marines you should mention that to him to do. It's the future and he will be set up with six figure jobs immediately. As long as he has a clean record and can get Top Secret clearance.

[@kingtummy4646]

Mine joined a while back. It will all work out for the best and he will be fine😊

[@reyesI165]

If he felt like he needed it then he definitely needed it. When I was 17 I knew I needed it. I wasn’t a troubled kid but I lived in a bad neighborhood so I knew I had to leave. On top of that I was lazy, lacked discipline and respect, and had no work ethic. I hated almost every minute of it but in retrospect it was one of the best decisions I made.

[@HasanPikerIsADouche]

Look at JK stepping it up, and listening to what the fans want

Great show guys! Bring the SEAL back for an individual interview! Really curious to know why he left the teams when he was so obviously loving his job. I'm sure there's a story there worth hearing...

Great to see don back

[@ttamang2001]

THIS IS THE GREATEST VIDEO JK HAVE EVER PRODUCED

[@hesaboneman8424]

I love Bart in this episode, he’s definitely become a man reminiscent of a man of times long past, like the nineteenth century. No air of meekness, manipulation or modern pseudo-masculine conformity. He really says what he thinks, and has learned from his questioning of things, and has become much more wise and slower to respond. When people tried to soft-cancel him for actions that he had learned from, and were never intentionally malicious, he was mature about it, but not sheepish. Frankly, despite what some on KZbin may think of him, we should look up to him as an idea of what a real man is like, and what they were like many centuries ago.

[@Alexander-xk2nb]

Tl;dr ...Just say he's a cool dude 😬

[@hesaboneman8424]

@@Alexander-xk2nb yeah that’s fair, he is mad cool.

[@kevinzhang6623]

Oh congrats, you wanna run for office now? You're obviously not wrong playing narrator, but man do you love the sound of your voice 🤣

[@jkkmane]

I get what youre trying to say. Pretty spot on about Bart. It's just fascinating to see how everyone changed and grown throughout these years. It makes more sense if you've been watching them since the very beginning.

[@VTpieface1029]

We forget Bart is a comedian cause he always sounds like the rough and tough gym boot camp guy…and then we sit him next to the real deal and we’re like…ooohhhhh nope, Bart is definitely a comedian first and foremost 💀💀

[@hesaboneman8424]

Yeah, that’s one thing I like about Bart, is that he doesn’t use the Marines as his identity, or act like he is solid steel. Bart knows who he is, and I think more young men need to learn that, being relaxed, goofy, and less hardened is not a lack of manliness, but in fact is a facet of it.

[@vijayraj5004]

Add a Air Force Pararescuemen (PJ) and a Coast Guard Maritime Security Response Team (MSRT) in here as well so you have a member from each special forces in each branch and have them discuss the similarities and differences they have with each other and have them discuss there life stories. I think that would be a great episode too

[@terryduffield5860]

Or CCT, Task Force 160 Pilot, Force Recon Marine, Orange, there’s a bunch more

[@gabe_diaz]

@@terryduffield5860 true but I think pjs and msrt are the most interesting members, especially if they could get a pj who did a very well known mission like getting one of the pjs who rescued Marcus Luttrell (The Lone Survivor) or something like that

@@gabe_diaz I spent years in Force Recon bunch of my teammates switched over to CCT and PJs in mid 90s. CCT has tier 1 operators so do PJs one is JTAC the other medical. Both are part of Socom both are outstanding both deserve to be heard. The Coast Guard is very capable but part of Homeland Security not the DOD. They used to send a few guys to ARS the basic USMC Reconnaissance School.

@@terryduffield5860 I agree with you I’m just not aware of any of those guys who’ve been involved in well known missions people would like to hear about, not saying they weren’t.

[@DDIISSEE]

They all mentioned 'Direct Action', but the only unit of the 3 that is a true pure violent direct action unit was the Ranger. Raiders really do FID/UW...Seals can do DA too...but nowhere near as proficiently as Ranger Regiment.

[@nyl0n]

And for people wondering, its cause Rangers have the shortest pipeline/timeline out of all sof units so they can go as quick as possible from regular soldier to operator. They grab the best dudes already in the army and make them even more highly skilled with great equipment and more training with the socom funding. Furthermore, lots of rangers cross over into Delta or their more secret lesser known RRC - Regimental Reconnaissance Company

[@94JesseRay]

​@@nyl0n actually most Rangers are literally straight out of Basic/Ait. Straight up 18-23 year olds, for the most part. Many do come from Big Army, but it isn't that common. They're called "Imports", and aren't always popular because they didn't grow up in Regiment.

[@bluestfalcon419]

@@nyl0npeople really taking liberties with the term operator. If you think the army is sending 18 year olds outta boot on 1-2 man missions plain clothes in host countries that we are not at war with but an incident could pop shit off, then you’re nuts. That is an operator.
