A fellow combat soldier-YEAH !!! LOL. I did 4 deployments to go fight in Iraq ( I volunteered for all 4 tours,also did 2 tours back-to-back ) with the Texas Guard. My first tour was in late 2004 and all of 2005 at Camp TQ with an infantry unit ( yes,I was a door-kicker-LOL ) at this time Iraq was the most dangerous place on Earth-EASILY. LOL. TQ was also a Marine FOB then and we did joint missions with the Marines,we did QRF,route-clearance,combat patrols,ECPs,searching vehicles too. During those 4 tours I arrested/detained countless Iraqee citizens and insurgents,did countless raids on homes/apts. I was bored working 2 full time civilian jobs and needed a dangerous challenge,so,off I went to Iraq. LOL. SEMPER-FI

@@souljatalkthepodcast8373 I had a-BLAST !!! LOL.After Iraq tours,I 10 plus yrs as a civilian contracter-overseas ( Iraq,Kuwaitt,Afghanistan & Qatar ) as a mercenary,then logistics. Been back in the states for almost 2 yrs now and I'm-PLENTY-bored. LOL. Didn't even plan on returning to the States at all,but,the US military got orders to leave Afghanistan,so,we contracters had to bounce too. Now I'm working at my local VA hospitol as an x-ray tech ( boring !!! ) America hasn't changed much in 10 yrs,just the same ole BS as usual,but,people have gotten so-SOFT-and easily offended. Civilian jobs are filled with HR complaints,mostly from women. The males at my job are pretty lazy too,complain-WAY-too much. LOL. And they-SIMP-too much for females attention at work.

Very straightforward and I liked it. Based off his story I felt like I can see the progression. The focus and discipline is there. The thing is not everyone is as straightforward any more. 17:17 I think I get where you going. People may not care about your track record but it still matters. Reliability is an example. I am subscribed. Great work!
