Same bro. Got out of the Army on '08. Still needed to hear this too. After all this time, married with a kid, some days are still rough. This helped a lot!
I've always been told I'm not good enough my whole life , so I enlisted like a month ago and I'm only 17 but I don't regret my decision, I'm proud to be a part of the army and to protect my people
None of us are good enough. But going forward use it as a challenge not a put down. We can all get better. But weak people choose to say it to bring others down so they'll never do better them. You all got this. Get after it
Been a year now, how are we doing today private? You don't entirely see it yet but you joined a lifelong brotherhood. I was forced out late last year but every time I run into another vet. There's a hidden understanding between us. A shared understanding that doesn't need to be said, if it even can be put into words. The sweat and tears and frustration and long hours are worth it.
I’m 18 I’m submitting my application tmrw and hopefully I pass my drug test Before meps Monday drinking hella water And working out I’m done with excuses
As a young soldier, you will think your tasks are menial. I assure you, they aren't. 20 years from now-30 years from now-you will look back on your service-even if it were a short time-and realize, those were the best days of your life. Stay strong. Pass the torch. Keep your powder dry.
I know this is “military motivation” but as a 23yo 120lbs police officer this helped me believe in myself when so many people tell me I can’t do this job. Every day is a battle against my coworkers judgement but I’m a good person who does a good job.
don't let anyone's opinion about you become your reality. You are the builder of your destiny. you took the oath just like everyone, but you can always be emotionally and physically better. Yes, it can be demanding yes it can be rough but that doesn't give you a reason to give up. use that judgment to your benefit and outclass everyone who has ever put you down. You fall down but you always get up. Nobody owns nobody nothing, you owe yourself. work the best you can possibly go. I myself have gone through hell and back don't ever quit promising that to yourself. You will be okay I believe in you. Lift those up when they are down and always have the heart for those hurting even if the person hates who you are. I go by this moral every day. [I don't care what you think of me, you may hate me, you may like me, or much more but when the time comes ill be there to save you.] everyone goes through hell their own way even when you may be exhausted by the world but it doesn't hurt trying to put a little bit back together. God Speed, and if you are religious always look to god for help and guidance never lose faith no matter what happens.
Coming from someone who has rolled (no Gi BJJ) with dudes that were ~115-130lbs, and wrestled with a guy for fun on my team that probably weighed 133, let me just reassure you how incorrect that judgement. The idea that a smaller stature discredits you from doing your job; those dudes humbled me so quickly, I never saw it the same way ever again, and have never underestimated anyone's capabilities. Flawless technique beat shear strength 99.9/100. If you don't already, pick up wrestling and BJJ, those two will be the way you eliminate all doubt. Oh and boss? I wrestled 189, 215, and heavyweight and was 6'5" at 18. When the I got the opportunity to be paired with that 115lbs. 40 year old gentleman that kicked my ego in the balls for 15 minutes and humiliated my ass on the mat (rightly-deserved, all a part of growing and becoming a man is shedding that ego and fragility of youth, I feel), I was 228lbs. 6'6" and playing college football as a Tight End. Humble, freaking, pie when we tangoed and still remember when he almost re-tore my meniscus with an iminari roll so fast I was hard planted going sideways but my foot was stuck. AH. Anyways, Keep that same energy my guy, your senior command will see it, and you have that dawg in you without a shadow of a doubt.
I was a combat medic in Army for 8 years, broke my back while in Afghanistan. 2 titanium rods, 4 titanium screws and 2 spacers later I'm still here. I'm out now and this means alot to me. It's hard having a disability, PTSD. But I'm still living.

Dont give up man theres gonna be days where you dont think that you will be able to make it but you can. It is gonna be hard but take one step at a time.

I'm training to become an army soldier here in France, everytime I wanna give up I watch this type of videos, I will NEVER give up and FIGHT FOR MY DREAMS💪🏻🎖
I was literally planning on joining the military but started hating myself but these words are making me remember why i wanted to join in the first place
Just reading these comments and had to say this, If this video is what makes you think you want to be a soldier... rethink it. This is the highlights. Not sitting in a trench for 2 weeks. Not living off a candy bar and a cold ration for 24 hours. Not carrying your broken body past its limits. Stop trying to think your a hero for joining and realize that what makes you a hero is your actions. Talk about what you've done, not what your "going to do".
I'm 10 once I turn 17 I'm getting shipped to the marine corps and I'm training for the marine corps right now and this gave me alot more motivation so thank you for that god bless America oohrah
When we were young we beat our plowshares into swords and now that we are old and have beaten our swords back into plowshares, it is now time for us to make a world worthy of the sacrifices that the coming generations will have to make.
Anytime brother. Your words are truly amazing and helped myself get through the core as well and I thank you heartily. 🙏 I wish I could meet you personally one day. I hope my schedule in the military opens up heh 😅
@@lorenzosimmons1772 start running. Get your time to 7 minutes a mile if you can. Do pushups. 70 in 1 minute if you can. Build up your endurance. And study for the ASVAB test.
I have yet to enlist, still not sure if I want to but regardless this video helped me. This video saved my life. This motivation and inspiration gave me the ability to realize I have one life and I won't waste it. I have one life and there is no point to spend it depressed and down, gave me the ability to pick my ass up and get back to work. The work of life.
@Daisy Moultrie how dare you do feel good about yourself it would have cost you nothing to not speak but you did you are disrespecting all that fought to give you the rights you have to say that you disrespected everyone who has ever fought and died for every country and thoughs who was and will ever serve in the military
Wow ! Can't believe i just stumbled across the video. It's just what i needed right now. I lost my best friend to cancer only 4 days ago. He was diagnosed pretty much this time last year so in the matter of 12 months it has taken him. He was 43yrs old. Even though we knew he didn't have long left, the past few months the cancer spread so agressively and took him much sooner than anyone expected. Such a good man too. Been a bit in limbo for a few days. Drinking quite a lot which isnt me. I look after myself as a rule. Then i watch this. Thank you . . . .whisky gone down the kitchen sink plughole and going for a chest and back workout now 🙏👍👊😊
Hey brother I hope your doing alright. Checking in on you. Hope all is well. I'm sorry for your lossbrother. life ain't fair we all know it but remember people are still here for you. Be safe man. 🙏
some people think the only point to the military is being cool This is for us this is for everyone in the comments life will not be easy on you struggle will not stop... for no one love your self right now you could give your self up for us my cousin is in the army and i worry for him every day i dream to serve us one day i love my parents and my brother they helped me so much my brother gives me the courage to go to tomorrow my mom says i am loved and always will be my dad gives me the encouragement to love myself my family gives me the life i lead today i love you guys ❤️
Wish I would of heard this when I was a kid. But I'm breathing so I'm still in the game and that means I could still leave my mark on this world. If you counted me out, and yeah I still got a long walk, but I'm willing to walk the walk and when I'm done. You best believe I'm going to talk the talk...
Been praying for death every day of my life for as long as i can remember, and with 14 OD's im still here. I do miss the military. these videos help keep the demons at bay....
Since I came back from being active military I came home to a new war within myself ..stage 4 advanced brain cancer I had my husband passed away and my son it hurts now I choose to live quality not quantity I have a few months left God bless America and the world
This is just great! My man has powerful words. Just retired after 26 years in the USN, and I would do another 26 if the government would let me. This video hit hard, keep living!
This is such a good video. And to all those in the comment section who have or are serving our country, thank you so much. I’m honored to be in a country where you are our protectors. Thankfulness and love to all of you incredible and brave people, and God bless you.
I haven’t join the military but I come from a long line of military men and women and I am hoping of joining law enforcement. Honestly I struggle with a dark past from being hurt by a family member for this. I want to help others but still to this day i some what struggle this video helped me a lot.
It matters not what others say about you, but instead what you whisper to yourself when you are alone, when times are tough its up to you to be strong and have the will to live
I listened to this without watching the video. I am not in the military, but this powerful speech is as relevant to me as it is to every single person. Thank you to all service men and women for your sacrifice.
For about three years now, my dream was to join the military. But I screwed up and showed my medical history and I have been told by four branches now that I have no chance of joining and doing my part to serve. Thank you all for your service who were able to join. But I find it hard to live life knowing that my dream won't come true. I hear so many complain because they don't enjoy the military. In my opinion, they should count themselves lucky to be able to do something that not many can do sometimes. So yes it does hurt sometimes, whether you are in the military or not.
I joined the navy after high school. Didn't make the rank I wanted but I did my duty with honor and conviction. I proved that someone with high functioning autism can defy convention and aspire to greater. I left the navy with a greater definition of what's possible
Life is fleeting. Life is hard.life can be the worse day you ever had BUT it can be the best in the same hand. Making your mark on life is the pride being the one person that needed your help will be there for you. Life is not easy life is tough but life can be love.
It's not work for change that's how you get stuck it's inspire yourself live a better life and make a mental change to overcome your fear of your problems
Through whatever you believe in embrace the journey. Pray if you must. The beginning may become hard for you. Or even the road down to the end. Just know this don't ever give up. Do the right even when you are on liberty in the civilian sector. Help those who really need it. Keep a clean head and don't let others put you down. My beginning was rough and now on to my 1st deployment. Don't ever give up brother 😉
I was denied by the marine corps because of my depression. I'll find a new path for me to take and I'll still make a difference. No matter how hard.. I really needed to see this❤
I don't know who you are but thanks, I needed this. I've been struggling and will probably will continue to struggle. Mentally I've been disengaged and unmotivated but you made me realize that tomorrow is not a given so I should not leave it unfinished.
I've always wanted to serve for the uk and what a motivation speech this is I'm always playing this when I'm at my weakest and it gets me through the tough and hard times
Ever since high school I wanted to be a marine. But I never had the motivation the cut the weight. I’m 24 now and I got super fed up with myself and the life I was living. So I started working out. I started out at 285. I’m 265 now. Got a ways to go. But quitting isn’t an option anymore. This video reminds me that I’m so much better than my past and that it’s not too late to succeed!
nothing to late brother i have a guy in my platoon whos 28 as a Lance Corporal. I joined right after high school been in for a year or so now its meh of a job when your infantry lol lots of dirt n mud sleeping days. but back to you dont ever give up on yourself keep pushing. what i did before joining is focus on running and i mean it you'll do a lot of that in bootcamp with the countdowns. don't worry bout that yet lol. focus on yourself first be fit be health be mentally strong shit gets rough in life even in the military with its perks n all but it doesn't do that much. Take that oath Take that Mindset to yourself and fucking go. gotta have that switch just kick in. God Speed to you
@@TheFilmMixer101 much appreciated man. I was on an off for a while and deciding if it was the best decision. Letting things get in my way. Making stupid excuses. Crazy thing is. My barber was a marine for 22 years. And after our 20 min talk. I’ve decided that I want to be a marine more than I thought I did. I appreciate the motivation! Much love!
To every 18 and 20 year old who signed up for the military in the last several years I salute you. You are very smart to join the military now because the 21st century might be kind of rough. In fact soldiers and cops might be the only survivors the way this planet's going. Self challenge is one thing intelligent organization is another thing unity in the face of planetary disaster is yet another bigger thing. Good luck and god bless the Americans of our disastrous future
Former Marine Recruit thats now an alcoholic. Somehow.... I needed this to relight my fire and determination. I forgot that very few sign that contract. And it takes a warrior mindset. I just figured out how I beat my alcoholism. I believe in myself and treat my addiction like an enemy. "Dogs to loose when war is waged"
Everyone can be better, in 2marro, and everyday you complete another day better than ur last, live, strive, love, justice, sacifice...prove to the world you something
this hits home as I had cancer when I was 17, had lots of doubts weather I should continue going when I constantly fell down and every time I tried to get up I fell deeper. I'm 22 now in a job I'm happy with but not where I want to be as I've always wanted to be in the Army as Military is in my family as I failed due to a medical. have lost good close friends for being me and have experienced things no 17 year old should, but now I'm back on my feet pushing to join the Royal Engineers and everyone who doubts me i strive to prove them wrong and come out on top I'm fed up with living a safe life because others say it's not going to happen to achieve my dream. I will fight for what I believe in and want in my life
I'm only 14. My goal is to get into the military and become a sniper scout. I know how hard getting there is. I train my muscles weekly just by working around the house. I train myself by studying. I train my eye sight. I listen to this video every night before bed and in the morning. It helps me push through. Thank you
Thank you to whoever wrote these words! And thank you to our U.S. soldiers for sacrificing y'alls lives w your families so that I can be safe w my beautiful daughter, while fighting for my own life!!! You all are gods on this earth, more than average human beings. Thank you all for your service to our great country!!! 🇺🇸❤ I listen to these motivational words often. Sorry to say that my body will never be able to be a soldier, which is my only real regret in life! As parents and Americans, it's our responsibility, our duty, to teach & remind our children about the daily sacrifices of our soldiers, government and law enforcement, & firefighters. We should teach & remind them on a regular basis too, not just on national holidays. How else will our next generation of Americans maintain our status as the greatest country in the world, if we don't teach them?
Wanted to be a part of socom since I was a child. After rotc and a few extra years I intend to go rangers and fight or die for my country. I'm not the best man, but I can do my best.
It took exactly one minute into the video to realize it was David Goggins speaking. Awesome man. Great book. This echoes on so many levels: as a combat Veteran. As a recovering alcoholic. As I work through a TBI. GOOD JOB. Sharing the hell out of this.
@@sanquis hasn't been easy. It does get easier with time. Being an 8 year Infantry Captain, one lesson is to remember those dark, bad moments WILL pass. And take the "wins," the good, no matter how big or small as they come
about to enlist in the us infantry. i know the danger but someone has to do it so that others can live in a safe world without fear of oppressors ,war ,death. i am ready to die for my country. i just hope my dad can finally be proud of me and i can show my little brother that our parents choices dont choose our lives but that we are still defined by them.
Bro, don't do it for your dad. Do it for yourself, I have tried to make my dad proud but the fact of the matter is it hurt me in the long run. Don't try to please other people or make them proud of you "finally" either he loves or he's not sure in which case he struggles with loving himself. So do this for yourself and your little brother. Show him how you can change your circumstances. You're taking a path few will take, I was infantryman and loved every minute of it.
I know your pain, the feeling of just wanting to be accepted as a man. But no matter what you do they look down on you. All I’m gonna say is do it for your little brother, be the example that your dad wasn’t. Show your little brother that your the man
I have always loved myself but I don't trust myself that much I want to trust myself and I Wanna fight no matter what happens. And what I am going to do as I live on is to push myself to make my life better and to make myself better and I wanna strengthen my mind to block out the drama and stress
Been in for a while now & still in. love what i do & the things I did, but hate the things I have missed. I'll be going again soon & I'll enjoy what I do yet hating what I'll miss.
WOW................ I HAVE NO WORDS........ As a VERY PROUD VETERAN, I think about the REAL MEN that I have served with and the places that we have been to, and about the SACRIFICES THAT WE HAVE ALL MADE..... the Absolute Sorrow and Indescribable Pain of Losing a Brother to the Absolute Joy and Pride that WE ALL FELT for Accomplishing “The Impossible” Time After Time, with only a Handful of PROFESSIONAL MISFITS.😎🎱🇺🇸 As a disabled Veteran, it’s sometimes easy to think of “Your Best Day’s” as being All Behind You.......and you think that your fine with that. The Pride that you feel, the Camaraderie that you STILL HAVE with those of you that are left and still here........ All of laughter you share about the CRAZY FUNNY things that had happened at THE MOST INCONVENIENT TIMES!!!! (I’m sure you other Veterans can definitely relate, and those of you who are going to serve, you WILL definitely experience a WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF FUNNY!! 😇) But anyways, sometimes it’s too easy to think your Best Days are all behind you...... After listening to this, I’m thinking that I’ve still got some History to write down about “My Journey and Travels”
These questions should be asked of every person who professes to be a PATRIOT. The 2020 election has passed. Look to the future !! We need each other. Stand tall. As Americans, we have no other place to go that is anything as perfect as America. Fight for it...together.
It’s been 11 years since I left the Army. I needed to hear this. I needed....these...words.
Thank you for your service! You are a hero!

Being part of something bigger than yourself is one of the best ways to keep your mental health good
This speech got me through some bad nights now. Thank you
Thank you so much for using my voice for this amazing video greatly appreciated!
Anytime brother. Your words are truly amazing and helped myself get through the core as well and I thank you heartily. 🙏
I wish I could meet you personally one day. I hope my schedule in the military opens up heh 😅
Wow I found this video when I really needed it Go Army.
Do the JOB... BE THE DIFFERENCE IN THIS WORLD
US NAVY CORPSMAN 87 TO 95
I’m an MA, gonna out in a package for corpsman
Thank you for your service! You are a hero!
hey man i wanna join army in a year do you have any advice for basic?
@@lorenzosimmons1772 start running. Get your time to 7 minutes a mile if you can. Do pushups. 70 in 1 minute if you can. Build up your endurance. And study for the ASVAB test.
Three years out of the Army. It’s been tough, I needed this today.
I go to bootcamp 6 months from and and this helped, best believe I'm coming back as an honor graduate.
I have yet to enlist, still not sure if I want to but regardless this video helped me. This video saved my life. This motivation and inspiration gave me the ability to realize I have one life and I won't waste it. I have one life and there is no point to spend it depressed and down, gave me the ability to pick my ass up and get back to work. The work of life.
Can't wait until people say the names of the fallen, soldiers and police.
We drink after every deployment to every battle the marines had in honor of fallen brothers and sisters shot after shot they are not forgotten
@Daisy Moultrie You proud of yourself?
@Daisy Moultrie nah you made 3 different statements and each one was an opinion
@Daisy Moultrie how dare you do feel good about yourself it would have cost you nothing to not speak but you did you are disrespecting all that fought to give you the rights you have to say that you disrespected everyone who has ever fought and died for every country and thoughs who was and will ever serve in the military
Wow ! Can't believe i just stumbled across the video. It's just what i needed right now. I lost my best friend to cancer only 4 days ago. He was diagnosed pretty much this time last year so in the matter of 12 months it has taken him. He was 43yrs old. Even though we knew he didn't have long left, the past few months the cancer spread so agressively and took him much sooner than anyone expected. Such a good man too. Been a bit in limbo for a few days. Drinking quite a lot which isnt me. I look after myself as a rule. Then i watch this. Thank you . . . .whisky gone down the kitchen sink plughole and going for a chest and back workout now 🙏👍👊😊
Hey brother I hope your doing alright. Checking in on you. Hope all is well. I'm sorry for your lossbrother. life ain't fair we all know it but remember people are still here for you. Be safe man. 🙏
How you holding up brother
some people think the only point to the military is being cool
This is for us this is for everyone in the comments life will not be easy on you struggle will not stop... for no one love your self right now you could give your self up for us my cousin is in the army and i worry for him every day i dream to serve us one day i love my parents and my brother they helped me so much my brother gives me the courage to go to tomorrow
my mom says i am loved and always will be my dad gives me the encouragement to love myself my family gives me the life i lead today i love you guys ❤️
This is perhaps one of the most powerful speeches I have heard. Simply inspiring.
Wish I would of heard this when I was a kid. But I'm breathing so I'm still in the game and that means I could still leave my mark on this world. If you counted me out, and yeah I still got a long walk, but I'm willing to walk the walk and when I'm done. You best believe I'm going to talk the talk...
Been praying for death every day of my life for as long as i can remember, and with 14 OD's im still here. I do miss the military. these videos help keep the demons at bay....
Stay strong man
Since I came back from being active military I came home to a new war within myself ..stage 4 advanced brain cancer I had my husband passed away and my son it hurts now I choose to live quality not quantity I have a few months left God bless America and the world
I'm sorry for all the pain you have been through.thankyou for your service and may God heal you in the holy righteous name of Jesus Christ amen.
@@01generala.o.w96 thank you and it was a Honor and privalge and. God bless you to 🇺🇸
This hit home in a major way when I needed it to. Thank you.
This is just great! My man has powerful words. Just retired after 26 years in the USN, and I would do another 26 if the government would let me. This video hit hard, keep living!
This is such a good video. And to all those in the comment section who have or are serving our country, thank you so much. I’m honored to be in a country where you are our protectors. Thankfulness and love to all of you incredible and brave people, and God bless you.
I haven’t join the military but I come from a long line of military men and women and I am hoping of joining law enforcement. Honestly I struggle with a dark past from being hurt by a family member for this. I want to help others but still to this day i some what struggle this video helped me a lot.
Pray to the lord they let me join shout out to all active and inactive service members thank u for ur service ... God bless America
It matters not what others say about you, but instead what you whisper to yourself when you are alone, when times are tough its up to you to be strong and have the will to live
I am a army medic vet battling stage 4brain cancer this is how I feel Army strong ,🇺🇸💜
Hope this message finds you well. Keep up the fight Doc!
@@redleg2380 thank you so much sir I hope you don't mind I subscribed to your channel Army Strong 🎖️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
This guy preaching it’s on point I hear God talking to us not just me 🙏
We keep going forward for those who fell sacrifice nothing is free moving forward in GOD i trust
This is exactly what I needed to hear first thing this morning, god bless this country and god bless my corps
I listened to this without watching the video. I am not in the military, but this powerful speech is as relevant to me as it is to every single person. Thank you to all service men and women for your sacrifice.
My dads retired marines and active duty army he has so many cool stories he’s inspired me to join the marines
This was a wake up call for me i will follow my dreams and improve myself
Came to me at exactly the right time. Thank you.
For about three years now, my dream was to join the military. But I screwed up and showed my medical history and I have been told by four branches now that I have no chance of joining and doing my part to serve. Thank you all for your service who were able to join. But I find it hard to live life knowing that my dream won't come true. I hear so many complain because they don't enjoy the military. In my opinion, they should count themselves lucky to be able to do something that not many can do sometimes. So yes it does hurt sometimes, whether you are in the military or not.
I joined the navy after high school. Didn't make the rank I wanted but I did my duty with honor and conviction. I proved that someone with high functioning autism can defy convention and aspire to greater. I left the navy with a greater definition of what's possible
Life is fleeting. Life is hard.life can be the worse day you ever had BUT it can be the best in the same hand. Making your mark on life is the pride being the one person that needed your help will be there for you. Life is not easy life is tough but life can be love.
It's not work for change that's how you get stuck it's inspire yourself live a better life and make a mental change to overcome your fear of your problems
As soon as i finish high school im joining the army
Keep living strong, improvise adapt and overcome, live life to the fullest extent like a warrior
I enlisted exactly a year ago yesterday. Just needed motivation because today is a tough day for me.
best decision of my life. best job i've ever had. no remorse.
Thank you for your service! You are a hero!
I’ve been down in life lately and now seeing this video I’m going to stand up and push back thank you 🙂
wow this is powerful gave me the kick i needed to get ready to embark on this journey of enlistment, thank you
Through whatever you believe in embrace the journey. Pray if you must. The beginning may become hard for you. Or even the road down to the end. Just know this don't ever give up. Do the right even when you are on liberty in the civilian sector. Help those who really need it. Keep a clean head and don't let others put you down. My beginning was rough and now on to my 1st deployment. Don't ever give up brother 😉
@@TheFilmMixer101 thx man, yeah I'm Goin in to eod so I'm gonna be praying a lot that's for sure😅🙏
@@joshuadabney1643 eod buds I got are willllddddd
@@TheFilmMixer101 I bet haha
I was denied by the marine corps because of my depression. I'll find a new path for me to take and I'll still make a difference. No matter how hard.. I really needed to see this❤
That's splendid, Kayla. Good luck with your life!
This video showed up at the right time, while I am struggling.
I don't know who you are but thanks, I needed this. I've been struggling and will probably will continue to struggle. Mentally I've been disengaged and unmotivated but you made me realize that tomorrow is not a given so I should not leave it unfinished.
This is one of the first ive seen including british forces in the video thank you for including our forces
I've always wanted to serve for the uk and what a motivation speech this is I'm always playing this when I'm at my weakest and it gets me through the tough and hard times
I wanna be a Navy seal,I had my doubts,this speech helped me realize this is my only shot at what I want. Go Navy!!!!
I listen to this most mornings and for anyone that is stuck in that hard place to get up and go trust me just get up and go and don't look back
amen brother!
Ever since high school I wanted to be a marine. But I never had the motivation the cut the weight. I’m 24 now and I got super fed up with myself and the life I was living. So I started working out. I started out at 285. I’m 265 now. Got a ways to go. But quitting isn’t an option anymore. This video reminds me that I’m so much better than my past and that it’s not too late to succeed!
nothing to late brother i have a guy in my platoon whos 28 as a Lance Corporal. I joined right after high school been in for a year or so now its meh of a job when your infantry lol lots of dirt n mud sleeping days.
but back to you dont ever give up on yourself keep pushing. what i did before joining is focus on running and i mean it you'll do a lot of that in bootcamp with the countdowns. don't worry bout that yet lol. focus on yourself first be fit be health be mentally strong shit gets rough in life even in the military with its perks n all but it doesn't do that much. Take that oath Take that Mindset to yourself and fucking go. gotta have that switch just kick in. God Speed to you
@@TheFilmMixer101 much appreciated man. I was on an off for a while and deciding if it was the best decision. Letting things get in my way. Making stupid excuses. Crazy thing is. My barber was a marine for 22 years. And after our 20 min talk. I’ve decided that I want to be a marine more than I thought I did. I appreciate the motivation! Much love!
Getting into the hardest camp in swedish military in june, artctic rangers! I'll see yall on the battlefield!
To every 18 and 20 year old who signed up for the military in the last several years I salute you. You are very smart to join the military now because the 21st century might be kind of rough. In fact soldiers and cops might be the only survivors the way this planet's going. Self challenge is one thing intelligent organization is another thing unity in the face of planetary disaster is yet another bigger thing. Good luck and god bless the Americans of our disastrous future
I remember that a soldier in news was blind and his last word was "start motivating your self"
How i wish I could get the chance and serve this country for the rest of my life,so my brothers in arms make us proud
I want to go into the marines and for a while I had second thoughts but this helped me want to fight for my country
How are you
me too since i was 4 ive always wanted to join the army but so far i havent been doing good with school but i aint stopping now
You should it twice again. War is no game.
I just graduated boot don’t think twice follow your dream earn the title it’s worth it trust me
be a marine just like good ole tank!
Former Marine Recruit thats now an alcoholic.
Somehow.... I needed this to relight my fire and determination.
I forgot that very few sign that contract. And it takes a warrior mindset.
I just figured out how I beat my alcoholism.
I believe in myself and treat my addiction like an enemy.
"Dogs to loose when war is waged"
Everyone can be better, in 2marro, and everyday you complete another day better than ur last, live, strive, love, justice, sacifice...prove to the world you something
I've always loved myself and I love being staff sergeant Harve.
this hits home as I had cancer when I was 17, had lots of doubts weather I should continue going when I constantly fell down and every time I tried to get up I fell deeper. I'm 22 now in a job I'm happy with but not where I want to be as I've always wanted to be in the Army as Military is in my family as I failed due to a medical.
have lost good close friends for being me and have experienced things no 17 year old should, but now I'm back on my feet pushing to join the Royal Engineers and everyone who doubts me i strive to prove them wrong and come out on top I'm fed up with living a safe life because others say it's not going to happen to achieve my dream.
I will fight for what I believe in and want in my life
I just enlisted in the marine corps and this will help me stay motivated.
Never give up. You got this.
I'm only 14. My goal is to get into the military and become a sniper scout. I know how hard getting there is. I train my muscles weekly just by working around the house. I train myself by studying. I train my eye sight. I listen to this video every night before bed and in the morning. It helps me push through. Thank you
Thank you to whoever wrote these words! And thank you to our U.S. soldiers for sacrificing y'alls lives w your families so that I can be safe w my beautiful daughter, while fighting for my own life!!! You all are gods on this earth, more than average human beings. Thank you all for your service to our great country!!! 🇺🇸❤ I listen to these motivational words often. Sorry to say that my body will never be able to be a soldier, which is my only real regret in life! As parents and Americans, it's our responsibility, our duty, to teach & remind our children about the daily sacrifices of our soldiers, government and law enforcement, & firefighters. We should teach & remind them on a regular basis too, not just on national holidays. How else will our next generation of Americans maintain our status as the greatest country in the world, if we don't teach them?
Wanted to be a part of socom since I was a child. After rotc and a few extra years I intend to go rangers and fight or die for my country. I'm not the best man, but I can do my best.
That’s all any of us can do brother
I was taking an ice bath and this motivates me a lot of motivation thank you
Truly something that inspires the many.
I've listened to this a hundred times now, and it still gives me the motivation to be a female Navy SEAL no matter how many people doubt me.
Powerful. What i needed to hear.
GREAT speech, thank you ..I needed to hear it...Army vet
Thanks. I needed the boost.
It took exactly one minute into the video to realize it was David Goggins speaking. Awesome man. Great book. This echoes on so many levels: as a combat Veteran. As a recovering alcoholic. As I work through a TBI. GOOD JOB. Sharing the hell out of this.
congraz on recovering that is a iron will that some nerver have tested god speed
@@sanquis hasn't been easy. It does get easier with time. Being an 8 year Infantry Captain, one lesson is to remember those dark, bad moments WILL pass. And take the "wins," the good, no matter how big or small as they come
As a veteran I'm here, I'm now, im ready
Its hurting deep, very deep
about to enlist in the us infantry. i know the danger but someone has to do it so that others can live in a safe world without fear of oppressors ,war ,death. i am ready to die for my country. i just hope my dad can finally be proud of me and i can show my little brother that our parents choices dont choose our lives but that we are still defined by them.
Bro, don't do it for your dad. Do it for yourself, I have tried to make my dad proud but the fact of the matter is it hurt me in the long run. Don't try to please other people or make them proud of you "finally" either he loves or he's not sure in which case he struggles with loving himself. So do this for yourself and your little brother. Show him how you can change your circumstances. You're taking a path few will take, I was infantryman and loved every minute of it.
I know your pain, the feeling of just wanting to be accepted as a man. But no matter what you do they look down on you. All I’m gonna say is do it for your little brother, be the example that your dad wasn’t. Show your little brother that your the man
you’re doing it for the wrong reason. do it for the future not the past. stand on the soldiers that came before you but its about moving forward.
Dont be a people pleaser, please yourself
Very Well done, rare to find these days
I have always loved myself but I don't trust myself that much I want to trust myself and I Wanna fight no matter what happens. And what I am going to do as I live on is to push myself to make my life better and to make myself better and I wanna strengthen my mind to block out the drama and stress
Been in for a while now & still in. love what i do & the things I did, but hate the things I have missed. I'll be going again soon & I'll enjoy what I do yet hating what I'll miss.
That was wonderful. I needed that. To know others think like i do. To have a reminder of things from another
WOW................ I HAVE NO WORDS........
As a VERY PROUD VETERAN, I think about the REAL MEN that I have served with and the places that we have been to, and about the SACRIFICES THAT WE HAVE ALL MADE..... the Absolute Sorrow and Indescribable Pain of Losing a Brother to the Absolute Joy and
Pride that WE ALL FELT for Accomplishing “The Impossible” Time After Time, with only a Handful of PROFESSIONAL MISFITS.😎🎱🇺🇸
As a disabled Veteran, it’s sometimes easy to think of “Your Best Day’s” as being All Behind You.......and you think that your fine with that.
The Pride that you feel, the Camaraderie that you STILL HAVE with those of you that are left and still here........ All of laughter you share about the CRAZY FUNNY things that had happened at THE MOST INCONVENIENT TIMES!!!! (I’m sure you other Veterans can definitely relate, and those of you who are going to serve, you WILL definitely experience a WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF FUNNY!! 😇)
But anyways, sometimes it’s too easy to think your Best Days are all behind you......
After listening to this, I’m thinking that I’ve still got some History to write down about “My Journey and Travels”
I hope your journey continues to be great no matter what you do I hope it will always be good for you thank you for your service sir
These questions should be asked of every person who professes to be a PATRIOT. The 2020 election has passed. Look to the future !! We need each other. Stand tall. As Americans, we have no other place to go that is anything as perfect as America. Fight for it...together.
This song has gotten me thru a lot
