I thank you for your interest in his story and I thank you for your service as well.
I love it! This Marine goes through SERE 3 times, his squad leader loses an eye and replaces it with an EGA! Truly only Marines and the enemy understand Marines!!!
Ryan is an exceptional interviewer. He lets his guest talk and never makes it about him. A lot of podcasters won’t let their guests talk. Very well done podcast
1:40:00 3/4 Snipers. During that push in Fallujah, 3/4 was moving East to West taking the fight to the enemy . I was with 1st BN 5th Mar Snipers. I was moving perpendicular to their movement. I was on the Southside of route mobile. I was a sniper working the streets in front of 3/4 with my teammate who was a saw gunner. We worked the south end of 3/4 lines and put a great number of fighters down. I would like to talk to Holloway about this portion of the fight.
@@willhausauer7703 I’ve been trying to find 3/4 Marines who were on the south end of the lines. I must’ve shot close to 200 rounds out of my sniper rifle. My saw gunner shot close to 1800 rounds.
Christian Holloway did an outstanding job of explaining his career, lots of excellent advice and information for young women/men, that will help them find direction in their military service. I was drafted when I was 18 years old, in late 1958, had great mentors that were college grads that were also drafted and many career military people, both enlisted & officers. Serviced during peace time for 2 years, 13 months in 142nd QMB Headquarters in South Korea. Camp Camp Hialeah located in Pusan now Busan. The Camp was the Japanese Imperial Army headquarters before and during WW II. US troops took command of the Camp in 1945. Being with many great mentors gave me some direction, father died when I was 15. The GI BILL paid for 4 years of college and the VA has been outstanding when needed. God bless our service people and the USA. 🇺🇸
Thank you for your service Mr. Whiterock, the sacrifices made by the "Chosin Few" , their unimaginable courage and fighting spirit shown while facing 8-to-1 odds at the Chosin Resrvoir...
I was there Aug 2003, that Basra fight was crazy. the British needed the US, my squad of Army MPs had a pause we moved to a waddi, caught afew hours of sleep. the battle pitched above us, we were caught behind lines...it was wild! then off to An-Nasariyah! that was even crazier!!!
@@bricktopmedic Definitely, if you don't document it that knowledge could be lost. You have ground level tactical knowledge of that situation, all within the context of that time in military history.
William, seriously consider writing it down brother. It will help you deal with your demons and will let the rest of the world know what you and your bros and sisters went through. The worse part of it all is the time that passes. It erases things. If you write it down those words will be there for a very long time! Thank you for all that you did for our great country.
Thank you for sharing your story man, it was the best one yet by far. It was one big, long combat story. Also, to Ryan, I don't know where you find your amazing quests, but I love hearing from these quiet Americans who kicked ass in combat and haven't yet shared their experiences. Its badass!
This guy is a Stud! I dig that he loves helping others. If you’re not a giver you are a taker and he gave & continues to give. Excellent example of how to live life! Great job Ryan!
My dad was a WWII Marine, my brother a Vietnam Marine I get it, they both convinced me to go to college one of the reasons I became successful is I could not let them down, they paved the way. This is a great story and one of the many reasons we are truly blessed to be Americans. Saint Peter will call your name my friend I know it……..
@@epistemologicaldespair68I was talking about the entire first half of this podcast with regular grunt stories that don't often get told. I'm very aware of Marine Corps history. 👍
7:51 That commecial is iconic for me. I always remember watching Saturday morning cartoons when I was 6-7 years old and it would come on. I thought that was the coolest crap.
I definately know the feeling and have expierenced the high year tenure restrictions. It was the biggest humble pie ive ever eaten. I then wanted to you my newly found wisdom to teach other Marines, bit never found thst outlet till date. Even after earning a Masters Degree. .
This is one of the best long-form interview series about militery service, sacrifice and life lessons learned. I have learned a lot by listening to the life lessons of these service members and it is inspiring to this old man.
You got forced out the same time I did. That was 2014. I was a Cpl at 6 promotable to Sgt but they were trying to force me into recruiting. I had an NJP as a Lcpl. But had perfect everything else. I was trying to go to A&S or to be an SOI instructor, but didn’t have enough time on my contract and couldn’t extend for A&S because I had used my extensions. When I said no to going to recruiting they told me to get out. I went to contracting instead. It made no sense to me that they forced us all out. To be fair the MARSOC recruiter worked super hard to try and keep me in, and get me an extension, but the monitor and career planner basically backed me into a wall. It sucks, but I’m better off for getting out I guess. I left contracting 4 years ago, and now I own a small business. I definitely miss it, but everything happens for a reason. I have another buddy who actually passed A&S and got forced out for a tattoo right before he went to ITC. So the whole big Marine Corps kinda just screwed everyone over.
Christian you are an awesome storyteller brother!! Thank you. It was like sitting in on an after action report!! Ryan please have this warrior back one day cause I know he has more stories to tell!!
You Gota love when all you want is to stay in, done everything right, no real issues and yet the marine corps leaves you no choice and say sorry we are done with you thanks for the hard work.
Love these. Please consider interviewing ranger and country singer Keni Thomas who was in Mogadishu 93 author of Get it on. Col Danny McKnight who is amazing. Also, Michael Golembeski Marsoc atc who was in Afghanistan Author of level zero heroes and dagger 22.
"For the love of God join the infantry!" AAVs are Amphibious Assault Vehicles and they are made of aluminum (with reactive armor plates). Not where you want to be in a fire fight! Truly hard core!
This man has got to be the best interview maybe second, only to John McPhee. This guy has so much to say and can't possibly get everything stated in one episode
Great job dude. Ill check out the book. You are making a difference and this interview shows your skills, efforts, and research well. Please choose an office to run for soon. When your in, make sure you live this truth. It will make or break you. This may be the best speech you ever give. Also, please bring like minded folks with you. Our allies from the wars too. I would like to see your new foreign policy too. Maybe be part of it? I studyd Afghanistan i. High School and represented them at a mock UN meeting at U of O, Oregon in 91.
Amazing interview but do gotta add the constant back and forth between two screens is nauseating for viewers, maybe do a split screen or at least chill on the back and forth so much. Love your work. Thanks for your service
Patrick came on I would imagine Jason’s been asked, too. I know I asked them both before Patrick came on and the channel “liked” the comment. Idk maybe it’ll happen. Pretty amazing to hear the beginning of MARSOC.
Thanks for your story. The reprated edits away from you guest are very distracting...maybe picture in picture or split screen, or less back and forth. I assenypu are using software so I understand. Great chanel!
@1:25:19 Can't help but think of the movie war dogs (and the real back story behind that movie) and our current supply situation with Ukraine. Ah well hindsight is 20/20 loving this episode, him talking about Fallujah reminded me of M26_Lemon_Grenade who was part of a boat company and he was the first guy to get shot in the first battle of Fallujah when they did there 6x6x6 patrol. He was shot in the head trying to get to a wall when the gunfight started.
@@georgecoull1883 you see I hear and see this all the time, but What’s different really ? Their mission set boils down to counter terrorism, direct action, and unconventional warfare. They receive the same training. All Operators have to be water proficient (dive school) and what not. Raiders are proficient in the water and have to ruck and run faster on land.
Are you familiar w/ 'Raider Spirit' during ITC? Supposedly, it's their 'Hell Week'. It's 9-10 days, under 10 hours of sleep, w/ nearly 200 miles of foot movement. I've been trying to learn more about it. Watch the video with former Raider Don Tran (I think created by 'Urban Valor' on their TH-cam channel). His story is pretty incredible, and he provides the most insight into 'Raider Spirit' I've heard to date. Actually come to think of it: I saw another video on here w/ two former SEALs (Stew Smith & Jeff Nichols, I think are their names?) and they were as complimentary as anyone I've ever heard regarding MARSOC--Nichols even went on to say he would prefer to work with MARSOC over any other unit worldwide ("besides Delta"). My jaw dropped. What a compliment. He also confirmed the same details on 'Raider Spirit'... AND... discusses phase 2 of A&S which has been classified. He confirmed my suspicion that Phase 2 has elements that seem to be based on the Delta/SAS model, in addition to the Army SF model which seems to be the primary baseline for the full A&S & ITC training program.
1:23:00 the HBO documentary called The Battle Marjah the citizens of Marjah were told to stay and wait for four days while the US military viewed anyone that left as a combatant. That's totally opposite what he says here. I know Fallujah and Marjah are different but still? Why were the Marjah citizens told to stay in the crossfire of that battle? I don't understand that and if anyone could help me understand I would really appreciate it
“An Amtrack hold 13 Marines.” Dwight Shrute says “FALSE, it holds many more than that, especially when they are stacked on top of each other sucking diesel fumes in a trance.”
My wife's son at 19 entered the same place.After a tour there became security contractor Afghanistan.When the revenue stream curtailed he is now in Ukraine trying to zero out Putin's boys.
@@xunheilvsnipezx3324 As active duty he would NEVER make the money he makes now.A a business decision it's "smart" money. Bet he gets his house paid before you do as an active duty Marine which I have to assume you are??
@@cashmerebenoit1668 what he said really has nothing to do with opsec. Also nothing wrong for fighting for money and it's unlikely he's getting paid to be in Ukraine. You people heard opsec on TH-cam and now can't stop using the word
bmps dont have 12.7 mm or 20 mils, bmp 1 has 76 mil stump gun, bmp 2 has a 30 mil auto cannon and the bmp 3 which i doubt they had many of had 30 mil and 100 mil low V cannon. its not hard to figure this stuff out. it had to be a bmp 2 if its firing auto cannon bursts, there are other varients but they are rare
Served as a Infantryman Us Army 2006 . Crazy time to be in the Army, the surge in Iraq. Didn't see much action but not for lack of wanting to . Much respect to all Soldiers, sailors and Marines. Marines got the best dress uniform and flag I'll admit it lol But Army infantry is the best fighting force 🤣😂. Just fckin around, imo US military the baddest fighting force period!!!
The audio sounding all choppy? I didn’t watch but only listened while washing car. It sounded like it was either heavily edited or the microphone was wonky. Reminded me of the days of listening to CDs and a CD had a scratch on it.

Green tracer part reminds me of a scene from a movie. "Hey SGT they're shooting at us??? Well shoot back."
Why is the camera allways switching between them? Loved the story nevertheless
Love this guy!
For me no matter how small your story is I still wanna hear it what you did how you got there it's sad how little some veterans think of themselves
