First, I just love you guys! Thanks for all you do! I'm a mom and retired USAF MSgt, and my son entered the USMC as infantry about five years ago. He decided, even before enlisting, that he wanted to go as far as possible as a Marine. He assumed the mindset of a sponge, adopted a zero-drama, just-do-it approach, and remained humble enough to learn, learn, learn. He is now a Raider. He would call me and fill me in on his training (to the degree he could) or after weeks of being in the field, and I could hear the exhaustion in his voice. I would ask him, "Are you still happy with your decision to join the Marines?" He always answered, "One hundred percent." And recently, he even said, "Mom, I can't believe they pay me to do this." Thank you, Nick. Your work here brings me closer to my son's world, and I appreciate you!
I was the Marine OSO in NYC. Resonated so much with the “go find a pool” reply to the kid who says “I don’t have access to a pool.” The MARSOC thing was huge too. There’s no problem with having big goals, but they totally gloss over the close fight- OCS, TBS, MOS school, first tour. Many frustrating moments on that duty.
These days in the Internet world, there are tons of recent SF vets, Navy SEAL vets, etc. teaching prep on UA-cam and selling courses on how to condition before reporting. Those resources never existed a million years ago.
I try to join the army but I got really sick during basic and they send me home after 3 month of being stuck at reception doing nothing so now in August I’m starting college so I’m going to do good at college so I can commission in Marine Corps through the LPC / OCS route
will you guys help me find my soul mate(for real) i am a christian, just a veteran of the us army, i hope so to find, possibly someone strong, well i am a hopeful romantic :) well you guys are very interesting. i hope to find men like you and get in a real relationship but i am always at the library, like always. i dont know how to escape the library. well i look up to you guys a lot. xoxo im probably hopefully gonna find a guy like you guys .xoxoxo
if you can find what library i am at you can date a real nerd, well yeah i can say all the other appealing things that a normal woman would say right now but i dont want to ruin it for an actual date is far more valuable, and well i can some day train like you guys i have been walking for 16 hours a day some days

I liked how they emphasized the need for genuine effort and patience over instant results.
The level of commitment and hard work described here is astonishing!
The comparison between training back then and now with social media was really insightful.
I just wanted to be infantry.
same, the Vax nonsense ruined it for me
Next thing I knew I just started runnennn and swimmennn until I couldn't go no more.
Have fun lol
Same. I want to join the rangers. What is the ASVAB requirement?
The stories about their boot camp experiences are intense!
Their anecdotes about struggling with swimming training were relatable and funny.
Man, this brings back memories.
all about the heart and the mindset.
It’s interesting to hear how they dealt with not being great at everything initially.
Earning it the hard way definitely builds character.
Great stuff, much respect. Great work in Mosul Cody. ABY
Wise words.
Thus must be year's old video? Reupload?

No shortcuts in life
Take this stuff with a grain of salt. Nick here still runs the MDK project, which is a grift.
