say hi to Antwain / antwainbishop
email me at syrmors@proton.me If you are making a job claim I will ask for proof that will only be seen by myself. military id / documents / and photos are what I review often but this can change on a case to case basis and we can also organize to send these over signal or another encrypted service you prefer.

Wow, this was absolutely amazing!!!!! 😳😊 Thank you so much for allowing me to share my lil part of life with you and everyone. I wish you all the best, please take care, stay safe and ONE LOVE. SemperFi ❤️🙏🏾 #goweber 😅
ur so full of shit lol
Who were your corpsman? Wondering if I know any. 1/9 06-10
I find it interesting that you thank the military for saving you life and getting you out of a drug and gun filled city. I'd be more angry at the politicians and police for not being able to improve that city to be safer. You're talking about almost dying as a soldier for the chance of not dying in an unsafe city. What the hell are people in charge doing if those are the options you have?
@@Noone-tb8jn question of the century sadly...
@@t_wr3kz176 nah I was a POG, a 3432 Disbo but I spent more time in the field and on meu's than at the office so.... Ionno I was a trained marine I'd say. 😂
I too went into the military a man, and came out a black and blue otter with thicc thighs.
I came out a bitter broken man with depression, I really need to get a VR headset.
@@PaulTheadra
Honestly I hope life improves for you dude. Seems like hell out there, especially nowadays.
@@PaulTheadra You'll be right at home with all of us.
:-)
🙏 my condolences
"We didn't know we were poor."
100% knew that feeling. I thought everyone went to the food bank every so often. I mean, just look at all the families I saw when I went there. Wasn't until much later that I realized.
Same, I was just thinking about this last night, when Mum told my brothers and I we couldn't have certain things we never figured out that it was because we had no money. I did sometimes wonder why all my friends at school got to travel to other countries and we never did though.
@@CourtneyCoulson dude same. I was always so puzzled by the fact other kids went on cool cruises / foreign countries, when my family could barely afford to eat. I didn’t realized until much later.
@@CourtneyCoulson people normally travel to other countries??? excluding canada because im in america and some of canada just reads as a staten't to me
like ive travelled out of state. and my dad has a lot of money but he chooses to save it for his retirement days + emergencies mostly.
My man is too damn wholesome to die at war, plot armor is real.
It really isn't. The ones who die are always the ones who should have lived. The worst always have a way of making it through.
@@MFKR696I hate to admit that shit bro but the good always get culled out. I’m not some crazy conspiracy theorist or anything but I’ve been in such a bad headspace and I see manipulation and brainwashing everywhere I go. From the moment ur born people are trying to crush your spirit and it seems the more open you are the more you’ll be easily wounded. You’re forced to turn inwards like a wounded animal. It’s a fucked up world man.
Going from a war torn soldier to a furry is crazy
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain...
So far these men that have seen war with their own eyes have been an otter, an anime girl, and a penguin. The penguin was the most expressive, I think.
I mean if you think about it, is it that surprising? You go to war, and nothing feels sacred anymore. You see goofy animal escapism, and that's your way of coping? It's wacky, but doesn't sound impossibly wacky.
Any service member can be a furry at this point, even gunho bullet eating Marines
Actually sadly I know some veterans that do fursuit porn in twitter and sometimes they do it with their war suit. Don't ask me why I know this I have been so much time in internet
This dude sounds great for someone in his 40s
I think it's the goofy energy not just voice making him read as younger. Either way yeah, props to him for that
If by “sounds great” you mean “sounds like a kid” then sure
@@SnailHatan Which kids are you hanging out with
he sounds like a bugsnax character i dont know why
@@SnailHatan this proves that anabolic steroids are a epidemic to our generation
This dude does not sound 40. He could say he was 29 and I would believe him 😂
🤣
It’s so difficult to describe depression to someone who’s never been there because it’s not sadness.
Having a NDE sometimes can be from a series of depression
I had one when I was younger at 15,,it was so traumatizing that I had to feel like the world was over for me...I lost communication with friends and some family members distanced from me thinking I was crazy 😂
This continued for about 3 years until I met with a friend that introduce me to the use of psychedelic...I had my first trip on it and it was amazing,kept on using till it finally took away all these feelings I had ...
Rn im working on myself perfectly and I've not had any form of NDE again after years of bad experience all because I had to use these psychedelic products
Wow..
I must imagine all the stress caused over the years..but how did you go about these pyschedelic?
@Amber Rudd does he ship to the UK?
He sounds so young for 48! Like he could be my age (I’m 30) or even in his 20’s. Amazing stories. Glad he made it out alive!
19:00 bro said he refused to be the final killcam
😂😂😂
Mr. Blue here talks like a well written book. Hanging on every word
Damn just finished listening to the whole thing. The dude's an amazing story teller. I can't imagine getting back on a plane after that near death experience
If you combine the deaths of all the contractors too , we lost another 14,000 men.
more details? how many have died overseas this year?
keeping the "official-pentagon" casualty count low was part of why they started bringing in contractors.
@@petemoss3160 also to keep our hands clean. we don’t have to be responsible as a nation when pmc’s commit war crimes.
The screen going black as he described waking up in the dark to the “INCOMING INCOMING” alarm was the most surreal thing you’ve done on this channel. My heart seriously strained for a second. Well done!
This guy is awesome. He's a natural storyteller and was very fun to listen to. I hope we hear more from him sometime
HerrCampzAlot, I’m very glad you are still with us. Keep being you and keep making the world a better place in any little way you can. You were a Marine, so I consider you more of a veteran than myself as former Air Force. But, from another early 40s vet to another - I appreciate you and everything you have done. I know many people who did similar contracting jobs in Iraq and didn’t return.
😢
Glad you found a home in Germany. I loved my time there.
You are also my hero as an Air Force vet bro you do not even know. 😂 Anytime I meet someone in the AF I just grill them with mad questions and just be in aww. ❤️🙏🏾 TY for all you done as well.
*This patriotic moment brought to you by Weber*
I love this content. I would always be grateful to watch it grow at release but I'm having less time to watch UA-cam and it bums me out. I hope this content goes on for many years to come so that will always be someone's story for me to listen to when I do get the time.
Interesting to hear what my life could have been like if i joined in HS. I was asked to join a few times and I wanted to do welding/fabrication so I asked them about that. They said yeah we have welders but I knew better and didn't trust them to not send me off to do some other job and switch up the contract. Later that exact situation happened to a couple friends of mine that joined the marines.
When he talks about seeing the language, I felt the same way about being stationed in korea. It’s like never being advertised to cause you can’t read the words. I’m glad another battle brother felt the same sentiment.
Thank you Syrmor for talking to so many Veterans. A lot of us don’t feel we have anyone to talk to about our experiences or can’t afford therapy after we get out. You probably let this guy get so much weight off
Thank you for these Syrmor, these are such an amazing glimpse into humanity. Struggles I've never had to encounter, life events I have yet to come across, career experiences I will never have. I'm glad I'm able to listen in, and I'm glad these people have a place to get things off their chest in total anonymity, if desired.
Dude I think you give some of these people real justice but I also feel like they hold back a lot which is understandable I’m just happy you’ve given people a great friend and conversationalist man I love this every video I’ve seen is amazing man keep it up
Love this guy's personality! Stories were wild. This channel effectively makes me avoid joining the military
Its crazy how many people join the military and can have completely different experiences from one another. Also well done on the video 👍
This is wayy better than the Meta verse
There's no way I'd open up like this with the Zucc breathing down my neck.
On that question of why do you avoid the word "terrorist", my english teacher's saying will always stick with me: One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.
This guy sounds so chill and cool, i would love to hang out with him. Also he doesn't sound a day over like 27 lmao
Just realized that the "Humbees/APCS Campfire Stories" by mikeburnfire details the same experience with the mortars. Hell, maybe this guy was in the same base as him.
What a small world...
Peace and love brotha! Thank you for your service.
great interview. thanks to the both of you. such a kind soul
Amazing Content as always my dude! LOVE the long episodes so much keep up the great work!
Dude. I live in a town about half an hour south of Fayetteville and I can definitely say that's true. This whole area is a black hole. If you stay after a certain age, you never leave. If you come in and don't leave immediately, you never will. But the Airborne Museum tho 😂
I live in Fayetteville and literally just repeated this to myself as I was outside contemplating life.
This was the most oddly wholesome video I have ever watched. Wishing HerrCampzalot the best!
This dude was for sure part of Blackwater
commenting for the algorithm because I love these
Great video, great dude 👍 I like the way he describes settings, VR is such a good medium for storytelling
I love this guy. A true humanitarian.
In fort Bragg now, I try not to go off post into Fayetteville
Excellent interview!
I love his avator 💙💙💙
Thanks for sharing your story man.
My respects devil dog. Thank god for barbecue hooah!
This video is gold. I want everyone to see this.
as a north carolinian i entirely understand his disdain for fayetteville (tbh 90% of the state), solidarity 🤞
This is the kind of shit im expecting from Syrmor channel. Good shit! Thanks!
51:00 "you're not going to scare the US out of your country"
Afghanistan: hold my tea.
I wouldn't say they scared us out. We spent 20 years and way too much money building up their army and security. If anything we should have left 5 to 10 years ago when we realized the people weren't going to ever take responsibility for their future.
@@gsesquire3441 left bc you couldnt win. doesnt matter about scared politicians are never scared they dont fight, wanna know whos scared? the dudes who died in some backwater hole thinking "is this really how i go out? im a marine!"
lol @ these gung-ho merkans unable to accept defeat... even after it has already happened in many past wars. we also had no good reason to invade other than they were a weak target and we could get away with it.
@@gsesquire3441 we could still be in Vietnam too if we just draft all the kids. good thinking!
@@StruggleGun cool story, bro, much badass. only OEF vets i know (most killed themselves) were the sole survivors of the IEDs that took out both of their convoys and all their buddies. funny part is they BOTH only went into the service to avoid prison. worth it?
yooo. this guy is mad chill and a great story-teller lol
I suspect the roads had to be clean to avoid IEDs. Anything that stands out from the road surface is a potential danger.
The white spots of melted then re-solidified chocolate is called "clouding" and its from the fat coming to the surface. Its fine to eat though.
This is going to be stuck in my head like the other military guy
Wholesome af
That wasp story is so relatable
You are one of the most genuine content creators on the modern internet. No political agenda, no sensationalizing stuff, just real people sharing their independent thoughts. That's something we all need more and more every each day. Thank you Syrmor for all these years and I'm grateful that you still keep making more
Yours sincerely
Just one of your random followers.
33:31 that sand is called moon sand. it forms from a high amount of clay dust powdering the fine particulates. in the usa you can only find it in 1 or 2 areas of Utah and Arizona with it. but those are still not as fine. because theyve been blowing around for so much less time. time on a cosmic scale at least.
THIS is as real as it gets.
Interesting stories
Wdym you didn't even watch it fully yet 💀💀
The fuck are you talking about. It's been out 11 minutes and it's an hour long 😭
@@timfop actually im watching it right now
@@zenophex1291 got em !
I like the music from the Mario water level.
Spent some good time at Al-Asad, Antwain. Hope you liked it! Bougiest base in theatre, IMO.
When I was a kid I would play CoD World at War and surf wikipedia for all the guns and stuff in the game. I would download pictures of guns, tanks, and anything else that popped up in the game, which was concerning to my family lol. But yeah, I just thought they looked cool. Love to you and your family from Benson, Herrcampzalot. Thanks for the stories.
I think VR chat would be the only reason I ever got a headset. This has me thinking I’d want trackers too. 💰
Willing to bet money that his op in Australia was actually called "crocodile dun dee"
I'd be interested to hear the totally unedited conversation. I appreciate the editing for continuity purposes, but man would it be great to hear the unadulterated cut.
I was @lejeune. Went to Fayetteville once. Went to The Public House for drinks with my brother.
Funny how so many of us think of our home towns as black holes.
Sweet 💙
tha barbecue grill
i like this guy
Horrifying stories from the great furrie war
Thank you for your service
@@gsesquire3441 fuck off if I don’t say anything vets fucking whine about it bitch
Good story
In the thumbnail the nose looks like his mouth
Interesting
nice norse runes
Those complaining about furries in the comments; consider taking HerrCampzAlot's advice and have some love for others instead.
Yaa new upload!
Good
Homeboy had to get the marine exfil from the ghetto 🤣🤣
Holy shit im not that far from fayettville
This guy sounds like he’s more hurt from being from Fayetteville then going to war 😂
he said blackrock lol
Tbh listening to veterans stories really like, sends me back down to earth, the gravity of what they put themselves through to defend our freedoms are insane.
Freedom? More like big companies intreste
"to defend our freedoms" eeeehhhhhh about that he himself said he went in for the money
@@shroomyesc still a brave thing to do even if it is for money. Inadvertently serves more than just himself in the end
“Defend our freedoms” omegalul
and gringos call others brainwashed.
You remind me of Zanitor
dude germany is an excellent choice! i lived there for a year and didnt want to come back to the usa
Wait this guy lives in germany now? Wow i would love to have a convo wirh him
14:00
Tbh I drew war stuff when I was 5 😅
just got some joints perfect time to drop
Enjoy the🌲 💨 I can't smoke anymore because I get insane paranoia and anxiety. Only edibles for me nowadays.
@@badgermetal Yeah i used to get so paranoid that I just got used to it I guess lmao
first, also love you syrmor
hey guys it’s ya boy ikiel
Oof I've never been this early before I promise this never happens
Vet-Fur-an
Hahahaha! My flight to Iraq was stupid! We had a lay over in Newfoundland. This plane is twisting 180 to 180. The wing is so close to hitting the ground.
I was so pissed, I'm about to die! In Canada!!! On my way to Iraq!!!! The irony had me so pissed. I may have said out loud "are you serious?"
N then we landed like it easy breezy hahaha.
That sounds hilarious in retrospect LOL

The fact he uses the term "bully" is incredibly disconcerting.
After all that...how did he end up as a furry on be chat?
People cope in different ways.
Because I wanted something different, and I thought it fit my personality basically. 😂 This is my first time seeing it from outside. It's really freaking cool. I didn't know my tongue, hair, ears move. 😂 Super dope!
Military's got tons of furries from what I understand. People especially in strenuous professions or circumstances find a lot of escape in furry stuff and in having alter egos in general. Seriously, it can be strangely therapeutic.
@@theoreticalphysics3644 Scary to think they had their hands on weapons.
@@jack.20f74 Considering that they have their hands on 3/4ths of the internet's essential infrastructure, I think we'd all have bigger problems if there really were any. Furries are just a demonstration that many of society's most capable people are equally bizarre in-and-of themselves, and I think that's a very humbling thing to remember.
Why is everyone a furry in vr
So close, satans gotta get yall next time for sure Molon labia etc etc
I can't believe people have the audacity to mock these brave people. When I see my generation slander and trash on veterans it awakes a special type of anger inside me.
