    My dad was a marine and was at mateo for 10 years. He fought in Operation Iraqi Freedom and lost alot of buddies. While we were watching this he said hes pretty sure he knew Nick. And he use to walk up to the crosses all the time to say hey to his brothers. He started tearing up when he saw them crosses and ive only seen him cry but a few times in my 14 years of living, just shows how hard of a subject this is. Much love my man God bless and thank you for your service.

      @akaoreoo9604, the best advice I can give you as a new enlistee is to be yourself. Don’t try to be like anyone else, but transform yourself through strengthening of your mind and body. Never settle for the status quo, but don’t hold yourself higher than the brother on your flank. Respect everyone, but respect yourself more than anyone. Seek the one true king with all your heart and mind and soul.
      Do all these things and greatness will cover you and protect you.

      Good luck I've been out for 2 years. My best advice is to run as much as you can until you go. The first month will be the hardest adjusting. The second month you'll know the routine. Your 3rd and last month you'll be conditioned. In your last month try and get the DI to laugh or crack a smile. You'll understand when you're there lol. Lastly if you can get your wisdom teeth out before you go otherwise you'll regret not doing it in advance.

I made a lengthier comment, a minute ago, about “1stSgt’s Hill” we called it Hill 7. At 65 this olé Marine still rides, humps (backpack hikes, for the CivDiv.) and shoots (not as offed as I should). I do live in Davey Crockett country, and am a distant descent of Him.

    Thanks for the video. I lived in San Clemente and served in 3rd Battalion 7th. Marines, Kilo Company, 1st Platoon. I’m old now, was there at Camp San Mateo in 1985-89. Great times, a lot of pain, humped all those hills when they had real names not numbers. I was there before the 7th was moved to 29 Palms.
    I had a lot of friends in 2/5 back in the day as well. Good drinking buddies.
    Looks like San Clemente’s hasn’t changed with the surfer crowd!
    Sadly, all the memorials are new! Pendleton will always have a part of my soul!
    Cheers to all you young men that have given your life for us all. And, cheers to all you Marines that served.

    the first video of you that popped up in my recommendations was the last time you went on base with your 636, and i was starting to get back into bikes, slowly buying gear and saving for the licence and the bike. Now this video uploads, and i am almost done with the licence, getting the bike in less than a month. Been loving your content since i discovered it, and still enjoying it to this day. Thanks a lot, keep up the good vibes !

    Being in the service now, this definitely hits another way. It's sad to see all those young men gone, but the sayings that they're watching over all the other young men and women at training is super sweet. Super sweet that you do this memorial for not only your lost friend but all the other marines up there. My branch and yours are far from each-other, but its awesome getting to still have that connection with y'all. -Semper Supra

    Man I watch you every year do this ride. As a veteran I think it’s absolutely awesome you do this. I’ve been wanting to do something like this for years but haven’t been able too due to mental health issues. Keep this up and keep up the tradition you have.

    I always seem to get recommended these videos around this time and I always tune in. I'm sorry for your loss and much respect to you and your buddies. I wasn't in the marines but I was infantry in the army and it was nice to share some sort of nostalgic, reflection, and camaraderie with ya for a bit. Awesome video man keep it up.

The boys and I are already planning the trip to his memorial next summer. Losing your friends is always shitty, but making sure they're not forgotten takes the edge off.
    Keep em rubber side down brother. Appreciate your service.

Videos like this really let me know what life on base is like and makes me and other bystanders respect everything you and the other hero's alive or fallen have done and are going to do. Thank YOU, Nick, and everybody in the military who serves for our amazing country.

    I couldn't imagine the pain and stories that would come out of an EVP session out there. Always in the most respectful way, I bet brothers in arms would love to hear their fallen brothers one more time. Thanks for sharing your journey, been coming back to your channel just to keep up with the visits🥲

  • @z3r0trust
    @z3r0trust 6 місяців тому +3

    It's always heartwarming to me to see fellow Marine Veterans paying respect to our fallen brethren and really just re-visiting the active duty Marines on base does wonders for their morale even if they don't know you. The young Marines need to know that it doesn't end when you take off the uniform for the last time. We were all insulated in our little bubbles when we served regardless of MOS. I know I've lost more than a few brothers/sisters along the way. Thank you for sharing the video with us. It gave that me that warm feeling. I take my family to visit and RV trailer camp at Camp Pendleton every year. MSgt, USMC(Ret.) '95-'15

    This is my first time watching your video, and as a someone who has interacted with a marine that was deployed, I can say it is amazing to see some tradition. I can just hear the pure joy in being able to and going to see what your life was like back when you were in the Marines.

    @brian636 thank you man for doing this! It helps me every single year because my dad was 3rd marine air wing in Vietnam and he passed when I was 19 and that was my best friend on the planet. I never grew up with a mother around so I’ve been alone per say since his death and it’s been hard and I look forward to this video every year that you do it because I lost him and a few other buddies out of the 5th as well!
    Keep doing what your doing man much love, and thank you for your service to our country brother!!!

Got my first bike in Chula Vista, learned to ride all over SOCAL. You just brought a smile to my face that hasn't been there in some time :)
