- hanging out with 3 military veterans around a fire. Ragehkin talks about his experience at Fort Hood, Texas and being an army medic.
if you want to talk i can be reached at syrmors@proton.me. if you make a job claim like veteran or forklift driver for example, i will ask for relevant proof such as a work-related document. this would only be seen by me and deleted after viewing (unless you want it shared in the video)

I never thought I would see 2 pilots and anakin skywalker sitting at a fire and talking about their medical experiences
Around a campfire too. This is by far the most genuine feeling discussion I've seen. Well fucking done.
I hate sand!
Ironic the only Air Force is not a pilot
@@hersh511 I get what u mean but anakin is the best pilot in the galaxy lol
@@Julian-um2om That’s a good point
Thanks everyone for watching this and sharing your support! Huge thanks to Syrmor for putting up with our goofiness and for herding us like cats, and thank you all for your kind words.
I did eat the burger king, I have more, I cannot be stopped.
This was a great video! I hope you can sit down with the other boys and tell more stories again. We'd love to hear them. :)
Don’t eat week old burger king! It’ll kill ya!
Getting out in February 2024. Couldn't agree more with y'all in this video.
fuck you im taking the burger king Airborne all the way
It was really cool. You guys sounded like you had a lot of fun.
That was the best, “if you could tell the world one thing, what would you tell them” that I’ve ever heard
I was not disappointed.
That was deep

Time stamp?
"I was a medic, until i took a sledgehammer to the knee" 😂
It’s nice to see that Syrmor is able to help people in the army due to making these videos, like with orange avenger. Keep doing what your doing man.👍
thank you Syrmor for having these guys here, im currently in the military and everything he said resonates with me on a personal level. you know, its not as bad when others understand and feel what you're going through as well.
It ain't just you bud, hang in there.
Thank you for your service. Even though you probably feel like you didn't do much to deserve such a compliment. You did. Because if shit hits the fan over here in Europe, you may be deployed here to save our sorry ass from the Russians.
Sincerely, from Central Europe, Czechia 🇨🇿
Being a veteran, I love these videos. It’s always therapy for us whether we saw combat or not to talk amongst other veterans and tell stories because trust me trying to talk like this to folks who’ve never served is a pain
Ditto. Being an antisocial wreck doesn't help either.
Well we who grew up in the ghetto in erd world countries might relate better. Lost 8 people i know personally to assassinations, most were bystanders. Saw a woman hang herself when i was 15, and later that year watch a man drown in flood waters in a big gully, they found his body jammed into a drainage tunnel in the side of the gully buried under twenty feet of debris under two huge logs and a van sized boulder. Neighbour shot in the gut, he survived. And many shoot outs over the years. And 5 shot dead in front of the big police station across the road from the housing scheme i live in now. Everyone one i know, has connections to atleast one person who died to gun violence. And now it's gotten worse most ghetto kids have ptsd, little jids wake up screaming, or they will be playing and start screaming bloody murder. Most of the parents are like apathetic or worse incompetent officers. All this is why joking around is so common, and so is bullying and verbal abuse. Very much a get strong mentally or get crushed situation in Jamaican ghettoes funny thing is most women are very ignorant about thibgs it's like mentally they just tune out what gpes on around them and what it all means.
Humorous as it is, there's something poignant about the sign off.
In non-specific terms, it's something like "If you need help, don't try to save face with the people trying to help you. You're not the first, and you're not the worst either."
I love all of these military stories
As an e-4 in the air force who has managed to push through his service induced depression and anxiety I respect you for taking the "easy" way out. I've been there and I'm way done at this point. Thankfully I've managed to save my mental health before getting out and plane to skillbridge next year when the time comes. Nice to hear your story.
My 6 year contract ends this August. Being an Army Medic has been the most do-nothing job I’ve ever had. Wasted time and tax payer funds I guess
My 6 year bid starts January 😅
If you were busy that would mean casualties so lack of work however boring is overall good news. If you use your skills in future the training was not wasted. If ya want combat drama
there's always volunteering for MSF which looks great on your CV if you don't get blown up in the process.
You could always sign up for the free Burma Rangers
Well regardless, i appreciate your service. Good luck!
6 years? Mine was just 4, but yeah same same lol got out in 2019 after 4 years of playing pretend and handing out over the counter medications lmao
It's so dumb to waste people like this. They could post these people at hospitals as techs, there are places that could use the help
Just think how much of our tax dollars go to medics and stuff like this as they sit around and help like 10 people per month. Not that these guys shouldnt get paid, but like you said there is tons of posts they could be helping at. We are wasting millions paying dudes to sit around and burnout and be less skilled. Seems backwards.
@@gsesquire3441 I've lost faith in the ability of humans to organize at this scale. There's just too much potential for a handful of fuckups to trash the whole system.
I can't believe how many stories I've heard of people faking their experience and getting into Doctor status at their jobs. Doing things the correct way doesn't do anything down here in Hell.
@@MisterCynic18 Its what happens when you have a top-down, self-serving bureaucratic system.
Eventually, shits going to start falling apart.
The issue is that it took 20 years of incompetence, pandering, politics, ineptitude, incompetence, and bureaucratic BS to make them realize that such a system cannot survive if it wastes potential like this with the attrition rate it has been burning them at. The last 2 years have proven that the Army, alone, is starting to get desperate.
Complex systems require an incredible level of general competence to function at an adequate level. For them to function at a level where mismanaged resource is utilized to improve the function of another, seperate complex sysytem, would require a level of general competence simply not possible by the united states government and its limbs.
It’s funny how Syrmor introduced me to VRChat through his interview with the Air Force penguin, and once I started playing I started helping a titanfall rp group where I met a bunch of veterans and now I’m watching these 3 chat
I also left the army out of fort hood. I will never forget walking out of the Copeland center feeling the biggest feeling of relief I have ever felt.
It’s sad that after hearing these stories that the Marine Corps is the exact same way and that so many people get screwed over because of childish egos. I’m glad these guys have good people to talk to about it and makes jokes about the experience.
It's all branches bro, I'm Navy and I've seen it here too.
The Army is just as bad, it’s all so tiresome
As someone who is in the military I can relate to have a skill set and not using them
If his medical team cared, he should’ve got an MRI, Physical Therapy and Chain of Command should’ve followed profile chit, until cleared from Medical. Damn, man. USN. We take care of our own and more.
It seems like all the other branches take waaaaay better care of their enlisted. Army seems to grind people down and chew some of them up. Seems strange. Like yeah it makes some sense to break a recruit down so you can build them back up stronger than their former selves, but some of those Army forts are forgetting about the "build back up" part.
Yet the navy gets shit on for other things but being a corpsman Imma look out for my people. He should've had a better ending there
That's mainly just Fort Hood (though that kind of rot has a way of creeping elsewhere). I've been blessed in that my unit has a good culture from the bottom up, and that issues like his tend to get resolved quickly
As AF stationed at an Army base, if there’s one thing I’ve learned about the Army is that the Army hates it’s people.
You haven't heard about Huston yet I bet...
My Dad was drafted into the air force back in the 70s. He ended up being a medic that was mostly stationed in California missile basses doing jack shit. He was glad he didn't have to fight in the jungles; but he describes it as the most boring or BS grunt work too.
I always like when there's returning guests. These stories are always so interesting, especially with how well spoken they are.
As a vet I enjoyed listening to this. I can relate to having shitty leadership.
Please don't let them eat that burger king
I'll be honest, I still ate it, AND I HAVE MORE.
@icrushill4614 BRUH 😭, that Burger King is NOT worth it. PUT IT DOWN
@@icrushill4614 See you in the next Chubbyemu video
@@icrushill4614 Bro youre like Homer Simpson with that big hoagie he refused to throw out and got sick on. Respect. Blessed.
@@whenmushroomsattack3303 The mission objective when I was born was to survive not thrive. lmao
I was at Fort Hood from 2016 to 2021. I hated the the base and toxic leadership at the BN (Battalion) and BDE (Brigade) level, but I absolutely LOVED the people I worked with at the FSC (Forward Support Company). We embraced the suck togeather as a family thanks to the closes nit and non toxic NCOs we had at the Squad and Platoon level.
Can already tell this will be a good one. Just from seeing Cooper, Droz with a red visor, and Anakin skywalker.
I'm no military, not even American, but I feel for Blue about their time doing shit nothing at their job.
Been on a new apprenticeship in IT for 6 months, and it's gotten me back in a dark place because I literally have nothing to do. Work used to be my way to cope, but now I've fallen back into alcohol and cutting and it fucking sucks.
Happy these guys seem to be in a better place than they were before.
I hope you get and do what you need to get yourself out of that dark place bro
Find something else to drive attention to. Work out doing long endurance type training as it uses the most time and energy. Look up Iron Wolf on youtube or go ruck.
Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity...
Can I steal that one?😂
Thank you for continuing to work in the medical profession, despite your experiences and disillusionment. You are still a hero to your local community.
Their avatars at 8:34 when they leave for a restroom break had me rolling.
Brooooooo! I lived at Fort Hood as an Army brat and then as a civilian contractor after I got booted out of the Army (I was stationed at Fort Bliss) and I know exactly what he's talking about! Fort Hood is a f@
I want to talk about the nightmarish six years I was in the Navy, but idk how to set up VR chat.
We need these guys to get in a chat with MikeBurnFire and specialist Zach. It would be a bigger crossover than the mcu, im not even joking.
Another excellent interview with US military veterans.
Thanks for sharing fellow vets.
I really like how Syrmor is grinding these videos! Keep up the work, big man
Thanks for sharing your story! I appreciate y’all. I’m currently active navy been in for nearly 5 years stationed in WA the whole time 3 different commands. The first 2 commands was a split tour and this last one was cause I’m non-deployable cause I have a torn tendon in my knee while loading some ordnance on my jets. I got told I’m just complaining to get out of deployment and that I was a shitbag. I can’t even squat, walk up or down stairs without pain, or crouch. They debating on medboard separation or surgery and still potential to get discharged.
Thanks to anyone who stopped to read. I hope you have a great day.
Clicked for Struggle, stayed for the butt stuff. Great interview!
Another great Syrmor video. He can't be stopped.
He’s an eldritch Cat, mysterious and unknowable. Beyond Human comprehension.
Maaaannnn, your story about your knee brings back memories. I had a similar thing happen. I failed my fitness test too because of a knee injury. Soldiers can be really dumb, judgemental, and gossipy. Because my injury wasn't some obvious gaping wound, they assumed that it was just incompetence. They don't see your spirit when you push through an entire fitness test while every step makes your knee feel like it's on fire; your whole regiment sees you stumble over the finish line in last place, so you're the unit shitpump.
I was fortunate enough to be loaned out to another unit for a long term assignment. The commander was a kinesiologist and recognized a problem, excused me from group exercise, and sent me to physiotherapy. I actually got better. And later, in my own free time, I repeated that fitness test that I failed and came in under par.
But back at my home unit, they didn't witness any of that. Too little, too late. The damaged reputation never got fully shaken.
God bless you!
@@jakeschwartz2514 Thank you for your kindness.
Love listening to these stories while workin still, lovely content as always
I was a recruit at the navy that got an administrative discharge before finishing bootcamp. I learned a lot about the military real fast.
Does administrative discharge effect your employment? Do anyone bring it up ?
I was also in Fort Hood as a medic (4SB 4ID) in the early 2000s and I swear to god you spent 90% of your time in the motorpool or rearranging connex boxes. And Killeen was no better (except for the mall lmao)
Very good video about what its like to be in the military. You join to do a job and sometimes get put in a position where you can't or will never do it. Leads to depression and hating your job and the Army
Keep this stuff going, amigo, this is oddly therapeutic. Feels like group without me having to talk to anyone idk and feel awkward about it
You know... my partner tried to get into the army, but due to a birth defect caused by Agent Orange, couldn't. They've sort of beaten themself up over it. Whenever it gets bad, I send these videos, and we discuss how, truly, it's probably a very good thing they never got in.
Does your partner understand that the thing he wants to join so bad created Agent Orange and sprayed it over countless people with defects still killing infants every day, yet the military does nothing to Aid them. They didn't even discover a cure before they released it in the sky...
Well wanting to go Army was his first mistake.
The irony of a chemical defoliant used by the US army and tested on the Canadian army, being the root cause of them not being allowed to join the military is not lost on me.
Bro got fucked up by the military before he was even born and still wants to serve.
god i love your videos
I served in the german navy for 2 years and your content really resonates with that part of me :)
11b. I love that the two army dudes are Pilots, fucking metal.
I greatly enjoy listening to these videos as it reminds me so much of my time in the army. The trauma dump is REAL and very difficult to get over. Keep up the good work!
These videos are a public service and should be archived for future generations
The weird numbness to death I something I super relate too. I'm out but I still work with some military. We had a guy put himself in the forever box. And as everyone was scrambling to contact up until they found his body I had accepted and processed that he was dead
Can you elaborate to a civilian like me?
@Commrade-DOGE l don't mind but what exactly do you want to elaborate on
@@pedroduran2303 what is a forever box?
Did he get frozen in carbonite like Han Solo?
@@Commrade-DOGE his friend died and was put in a coffin to be buried that is a forever box
I loved the moment wnere they were arguing over Rage's discharge papers, as an outsider to the military it was like listening to three kids arguing over Yu-Gi-Oh cards
its seems like when you call a medic Doc, you make their day
If anyone else winces when they hear names like “the copeland center” because of their memories at fort hood, they should read “making war at fort hoof” by Ken MacLeish where an anthropologist writes about Fort Hood as an outsider analyzing military culture.
I love KK Slider doing freebird in the background, nice touch
fort hood is pretty well known as a shit posting in the US military for pretty much anyone.
for anyone who is thinking of joinning, "your time in the military will vary from others no matter what you do " is what you need to live by, and nothing will change that
As a current medic, My section is constantly tasked out to doi g other sections work and we never practice our skills. Shit happens we get blamed for not knowing g our jobs
I love this channel, it’s really helped me
I'm sorry I hadn't set the notifications properly - going into the marines myself, I'm thankful to have these
I'm also thankful to have this kind of quality backlog to go through
While being actively separated. I can attest that fort hood isn’t the only base with a problem like this. The army is corrupt and it drives many of us to depression and to try to solve shit with drinking…
Not just the Army either. The Navy is even worse when it comes to separations.
Drug use is rampant.
the military will always gaslight you into thinking you didnt do a good enough job
Hearing this has made me so fucking glad that I’m not getting sent to Fort Hood.
Edit: the heat casualties bit reminded me of the fact that we had a LOT of heat cats in basic. my cycle was the end of spring-beginning of summer, and it gets HOT AND FUCKING HUMID in south carolina in summer. one of my battle buddies actually did pass out from heat exhaustion and i got pinned with making sure he was good for half a range day (he was fine, we just had to get some water in him)
My friend is about to go to westpoint and he also told me they use a frozen metal rod in the ass as the fastest way to cool down an overheated person
Love that quiet hotline Miami music in the background
I love your content as always
Ayeee, Struggle is back
Heckin rad. Sounded like these guys needed this.
lmao those little moments where they swear at each other and have technical difficulties are hilarious.
I've heard a lot of bad stories from Fort Hood and this is just one of those stories.
loved the hotline miami 2 music, seemed really perfect for them talking.
Joining law enforcement or military definitely shapes your mind, your changed dramatically. You don’t know what’s “sorta” “normal” is -Not much anymore.
This is troublesome because your closest peers get afraid and don’t want to talk to talk anymore.
Made this mistake before, saying what I think is funny only to get worried stares from those around me.
@@FellaGuy2 This isn’t a mistake. It’s a commitment to give your life for others. That makes the sacrifice humble and I wouldn’t exchange my soul back. Courage and the will to face danger on a daily basis. I hope you understand that and don’t regret it.

Laughing and making small dark jokes in-between incredibly sad stories... My people! I love running into other vets in this game. I've ran into quite a few of them: active duty, reservists, guard, and salty vets. Salty vets are my favorite people to run into, because even as a vet who has been out for almost 6 years, I love getting their perspective on life after the military, because I still find myself getting lost myself sometimes, and that little insight on how they cope (regardless of how much younger they are than I) brings that much more clarity to me, and they remind me that we're not alone in this world. Best of luck, gentlemen, and thank you, Syrmor, for the lovely video.
I love this series with veterans
I totally feel that dd-214 moment. It's just a surreal feeling sitting there afterward, chain smoking a few, and really processing that you're a civilian again.
dude was making a deep point and then you blunder in with your: "I can't stop jumping"
Yeah, that wasn't intentional. Sorry if it ruined it.
@@StruggleGun It was beautiful, TYFYS
In the military I have seen so many stories but none compare to those who deployed, yet.
I love that song because of fallout new vegas, haha. Let's ride into the sunset together.
23:21 Puddle of Mudd? I haven’t listened to them for a very, very long time hahaha!
these guys are amazing i want to hear more
why is this so addicting to watch? thank you for sharing
This was awesome! great video
1:24 either I’m just extremely high or this moment is heart warmingly beautiful the way they not only complimented him for his form, but also the way one joined him and they were laughing together like best friends
i loved this video, especially listening to everyone giggle at the end there, i wouldve loved to be there in the moment, share the humour.
I really enjoyed this one!
i got vr chat just to find out why your videos so great. now is the time to find u in vr
Wow, these guys really captured how I've felt about being in the military so far.
Damn had the opposite at fort hood. Did 2 contracts at hood. My second contract I was supposed to reclass but the new first sergeant I had lied about insubordination and I got my orders pulled for a field grade article 15. Ended up beating it but my orders couldn't be redone so I was stuck for the next 3 years. At hood we had an overwhelming amount of work. Motor pool was 99% of our day. Most weeks we didn't even get a weekend off. The only time we could take leave was during Christmas so I ended up selling 60 days of leave. Both times I got deployed wasn't bad but coming back was hell.
Bureaucracies are merciless. Thanks for serving though. Even if it ended sadly and you didn't feel like you accomplished much, you nonetheless served honorably and the whole society is in your debt for that.
Your military vet videos is what real journalism is. Thanks for the content
Not having very strong emotions about things is a product of dealing with serious business in your life, military or otherwise.
no. its a sign of psychosis
@@Shaqwukong These guys are psychotic?
@@JohnSmith-mc2zz You bet. Takes a "certain" type to join the millitary bru
@@Shaqwukong it takes a certain type to go in with the idea of “yeah, I want to go in, do special forces, infantry, and so on, and kill people.” If you’re going in to be a paper pusher, mechanic, intel, etc., you literally only have to keep your mouth shut and do what you’re told (within reason) and you’re making it through to the operational military 99 times out of 100.

As for the silver bullet thing they were wrong about, look up ice rod therapy. That's probably what they were thinking about
Really love military guys just talking abt what it’s like
15:09 NCOs at the board be like, "I will not use my grade or position to obtain pleasure, profit, or PERSONAL SAFETY"
Fuck wit NCO proceeded to to exactly that.
Bro wtf
My second comment now that I’m 18:20 in but I was also a medic in a do nothing unit and I injured my knee when I hyperextended it running up a hill at Fort Sam. I pushed as hard as I could and even though I was at a medical HQ unit, they pushed back looking at my knee until I got out. But they also just had me on profile and flagged so being stuck while your peers get promoted is very demoralizing and unmotivating. I thought it was just reservist going through this and I figured they took better care of active duty folks who go to work every day vs just a few days a month.
Now that I don’t have to be in army shape and just normal shape, my knee is pretty good overall. If I get too lazy too long and don’t workout it’ll begin to hurt. I have to keep the surrounding area strong for life or have pain.
Thanks for sharing your story. I feel a lot less alone in my experiences
Edited for spelling less as let
Orange Avenger mustve watched Blue Mountain State or somethin when mentioning a core cooling rod
These are great. I really enjoy listening to their stories. I'm a civilian who's worked on military bases for years as an IT Consultant. Talking with veterans, working alongside them, and being friends with them, it's a natural fit for me. I wonder everyday why I never joined the service, but listening to vets stories I think I dodged a bullet. Figuratively and literally. Some CO would've gotten in my face about some bullshit and wound up not having email for a month. Cause fuck him is why. Anyway, thank god for these foolishly brave young men and women who put it all on the line, coming from every corner of this nation. It's a privilege to work with them all.
Bro people just tell the weirdest, darkest stories in vrchat
These VR chats are fucking epic and a brilliant idea. Keep them coming. BTW the IV bag friendly threat is a very old idea because troops remember it and many are scared of needles though they don't admit it (like the inevitable fallouts in the vaccination line in Basic).
Another great video
As a veteran, this made me shed tears harder than I thought it would. I wish more of us, kicked out or not, have or got more assistance. That isn't to say we don't have resources, but often I find in my veteran friend group in college and just outside in the regular world to be lacking in knowledge of benefits and resources. For those of you reading this, Veteran or not, you are loved.
His first mistake was getting a 90+ and not going Intel
Theres nothing more satisfying than seeing a combat vet literally drop his jaw at the amount of training some of us who never served have thats actually SUPERIOR to what they were given! The united states DOES NOT have the best training programs for those that wanna think outside west points box! Super happy to have family that have those skills to share! GIGN dont play boys
music was very on point. old souls
The Chair force and the Army. Not surprised they are on VR chat lmfao
Nice touch throwing in K.K. Slider's Freebird after he mentions that he played Freebird while leaving base as a civilian.
