Verse 1:
Remember when we signed the dotted line, our life away (life away)
Such a young age became government property (property)
It’s 20:00 and the Lieutenant just called a layout
Because some douche bag from b co lost his nods (ain’t no weekend for me)
Life was just a game of hurry up and wait
I remember counting the days until that ETS date
Chorus:
I can’t believe we miss this shit, it’s true
Worst days days never felt so right - now I’m stuck in a suit and tie
Wishing I was back with the boys
I can’t believe we miss this shit, yes it’s true
Verse 2:
On this bullshit FOB taking mortars everyday
Had sex with myself in a portajohn to get away
Got TBI from my getting my ass blown up
And most of friends are missing some limbs (you guys are badass by the way)
But this PT belt and eye pro will keep me safe
From terrorism, because that’s science.
Chorus:
I can’t believe we miss this shit, it’s true
Worst days days never felt so right - now I’m stuck in a suit and tie
Wishing I was back with the boys
I can’t believe we miss this shit, yes it’s true
Bridge:
I’ve got bad ankles, got bad knees, and even my back is destroyed
But here I am, still stuck in line at the damn VA
Chorus:
I can’t believe we miss this shit, it’s true
Worst days days never felt so right - now I’m stuck in a suit and tie
Wishing I was back with the boys
I can’t believe we miss this shit, yes it’s true
sof humor spec ops special forces book thank you for my service
It's funny how the older a vet gets, the more he misses the same shit he bitched and moaned about, but that's a great thing. To all those who took our place, stay safe and get back home in one piece. To all my fellow vets, embrace the memories and smile.
Used to talk about time left as a prisoner. Now I want to go back lol. Funny how age changes prospective on life. Miss my friends and brothers. Real life isn’t the same.
Thank you guys for your service. Never forget our vets. From all the years.
You had to be a part of it to understand.
Amen Brother
Y'all Have A Blessed Day
I really do miss that F-up SHIT!!!!!
Vietnam combat veteran here. The song made me squirt one. You'll never forget the shit you were in, and the comrades in it with you. Here's why:
"I now know why men who have been to war yearn to reunite. Not to tell stories or look at old pictures. Not to laugh or weep. Comrades gather because they long to be with the men who once acted at their best; men who suffered and sacrificed, who were stripped of their humanity. I did not pick these men. They were delivered by fate and the military. But I know them in a way I know no other men. I have never given anyone such trust. They were willing to guard something more precious than my life. They would have carried my reputation, the memory of me. It was part of the bargain we all made, the reason we were so willing to die for one another. As long as I have memory, I will think of them all, every day. I am sure that when I leave this world, my last thought will be of my family and my comrades... such good men." Sabre79, D 1/1
Epic...
Thank you for your Service Sir.
Now that sir, says it all
@@scoutsaresilentdeath8775 "Scouts OUT!"
Amen Brother
Y'all Have A Blessed Day
Well said sir and thank you for you service I truly appreciate everything you did for our country without great people like you we wouldn't have the freedoms we do , and to all who have served thank you
Better than most modern music and they weren't even trying.
Paul P Hey man that’s a backhanded compliment. They were doing their best; you can tell by the production quality
Pretty good i thot .. but i agree its better than most and they seem to just be having fun..
Thank you ALL servicemen & servicewomen for your service ..
@@revanamarie7210 having fun is what us vets did to mark time.
Yeah most county now is not good
Mmmmmm
The part we miss is the camaraderie, the knowledge of shared experiences, the only place in life where “all for one” really means anything.
Sir, thank you for your service first of all. I'm a citizen but still a Patriot and I can tell you all for one is very much alive in America. We are all truly more together as Americans than the news and politicians would make you believe. You might have to look a little bit for citizen Patriots that are with you but we are here. Again thank you for your service, bless you.
@Tony Harrell Yup. I get told on a regular basis, "Dude, you're not in the Army anymore." Doesn't matter. Devotion to duty, integrity, honor, candor......you get the idea. They're not just words to us.
That’s why I got really into church. It really builds a community. It’s the same reason I joined the military, the order and brotherhood.
@mcclanehallenbeck I don't know where you worked in the army, but it wasn't in aviation. I've noticed no change. Except the fact none of my friends are narcing on my other friends to get e5
Ya miss that shit everyday. Normal life. Normal job like dog eat dog world. Who can fuck the other over to make it to the top first.
I've got less than 2 months before I hang it up for good !....20 years for Uncle Sam !....😢
Thank you brother!
Thank you
Thank you so much
Thank you so much for keeping my family safe. 20 years-Respect
Good Luck Brother, 20.5 yrs been out for 8 months.... best life ever!!!
Turning 60 in a couple months. This still holds true. Many times I just don't belong where I find myself these days. Miss my brothers who never came home.
And those of us that came back, but have never left the war.
@David Haun
So true. Some wounds you learn to live with.
Be safe brother
I know you'd have gave your life for any of them gladly, they just beat you to the privilege. Glory to them all.
Just moved back home after....too long. Not sure I belong anymore.
@@hicountrytm
You belong brother. If not there, then come here I got ya
I don't know why the PT belt gets so much flak, it's great protection,
from girls.
Nothing beats the ol BC's though
Can't forget about the troop straps preventing dumb privates from falling out
I always died over new cadets stacked nuts to butts with fresh "sterilizers" on their wide eyes
Wear mine around my cock
Fun fact wrap a pt belt around your bumper and your guaranteed to automatically pass your pov inspection.
Yep, can't believe I miss that shit, and stupid enough - I'd go back in heartbeat
Mercenary Mike As would any vet worth his salt
I feel ya...
Me too
Straight Jacket it’s not that civilian life is hard. It’s just a sense of purpose and honor. A soldier, marine, airman, sailor....they all know they’re doing something that’s bigger than themselves.
@Straight Jacket It's not anything like that. But for as hellish as war may be, it's a simple life and for a lot of us, when we get out we come back to places we dont recognize anymore and people who are still doing the same things they did 10-15 years ago.
Essentially, we have to find a way to fit in with a society that we have little in common with and that's difficult. I've been out two years and I still wish every day I was still in, even though it was becoming increasingly difficult to continue physically.
To the nights I never remember, with the friends I will never forget.
Rah
Best nights ever
Amen to that!
HooRah! To the places we can’t talk about and people we will never forget, cheers 🍻
Rah brother
The scene with them Policing the brass was so surreal, I had a tear roll down my cheek.
Hell yeah !! Good times !!!
Yeah. Did that shit a month and a half ago with my Reserve unit. It only really sucked because 9mm is a 100% brass return. Spent more time policing brass than shooting.
And I’m the boonie cover too lol
I just finished playing a game of 100% brass an hour ago! Thanks m9!
I'd find old, tarnished 5.56 brass that had been missed who knows how many times. Didn't matter though, I'd still turn it in.
My PT belt saved my life. I never got an (incurable) STD or had any kids while I was in. Thanks PT belt.
I remember as a Canadian solidier training in the US and being given one of those, and looking at it thinking wtf is this for?
@@ostrowulf what was it for?
Apparently 30 people running together is hard for cars to see, so you need a belt to be vissable, otherwise you WILL die. It will save youd life man... or so I am told, I only wore one once, as part of a base run. If you can not see a few thousand Yanks and Canucks running, maaaaaybe your license should be revoked.
The Army issue glasses kept me from having to worry about STD's or accidental children. They weren't called BCG's for nothing.
The later ones were so so, but the initial sunglasses the army issued me we called government issued birth control.
Served 18 years Canadian Army and worked with a lot of US Servicemen, was the time of my life....
Haha and you haven't for The Kardashians, Trump, DiCaprio..... Common we did you a solid with William Shatner and Jim Carey.
@@stylinandraciallyprofilin6995 don't even get me started on that jackass. We hate Trudeau out here. Well most liberals for that matter.
@@psyex .. yeah you got us there. Especially these days, the douchebaggery in the US is real. Damn liberals.
♥️♥️
Trained with a bunch of y’all and we love y’all
Thank you all military men and women for serving this great country! ❤️🇺🇸❤️
Amen
Too bad the US mingle too much business of others because it must be a beautiful country with an incredible people. That the USA take care of the USA.
I know. People cant worry about themselves and always have to worry about what other people do
@@catfishkyle01
It's a shame because it gives an erratic image of Americans. The US Army must serve the interests and security of the American people above all else and no financial or political interests on the other side of the world. In Europe too we have more or less the same way of acting but it seems even more exaggerated from the US
Yeah that's all politics is over here pretty much is one big exaggeration

I cut my military teeth in the Marines back in 1971, after my ETS I got a job with a County Police Department in Georgia. There I worked on patrol, traffic where I started investigating fatal accidents I was also on the dive team and SWAT where I held every position except team commander. However, It wasn't six months before I started missing the military, my problem was most of the officers were former Marines, not to mention the Department was an friggin awesome. With no Marine Reserve unit around, I kept looking. I eventually met a couple of officers that was in a U.S. Army SF unit.
B Co. 3rd SF Bn, 11th SFG( Abn) to be exact. So I swallowed my pride and joined. Made it through all the jarhead jokes, got my flash ( before tabs), assigned to a team and went to work.
1994 Clinton disbanded all combat arms in the Reserves, so I finished out my 28 years with B Co, 3rd SF Bn, 20th SFG (Abn) of the Florida Army National Guard.
So here I am loving life, then one day I realized my time has come to an end. 2001 retired from the military, 2002 retired from the PD. Still needing to work, new family to include a newborn.
One day I went on a call where a father found his baby not breathing, not saying anything about the father, but it hit me hard the all the father knew what to do was call 911. I later made a mental note to get enough under my belt so that I would never find myself in a situation we where I didn't know what to do.
With that in mind I started looking for something not military or L.E.
I applied for the Southside Fire/EMS Department. A private company that worked on the Paid / Volunteer system. Regular Fire Departments hated us, but with SSFD/EMS you were expected to be able to handle your self. First two years I worked on an ambulance but trained on an Engine. Then I was reassigned to the fire side. There I learned everything I could about the
engines, ladders, tankers. Not just how to put them in operation but how they worked. I also learned as much as I could about all the equipment we had as well as being in charge of a fire scene or a disaster.
On my days off I worked in various units of the Sheriff's Office as a Part time Deputy.
But after Ten years of the FD and SO my body let me know that it was tired of the abuse, so I retired from them also.
So here I am with all this knowledge and too old and beat up to do much with it.
Here's my advice to anyone who hasn't fell asleep yet. If your in LE. Take a EMT course, then spend some time working on an ambulance. If there's a volunteer FD around you, join it.
Its all about cross training to make you a better equipped person in case SHTF.
And get it while you got some youth left.
Getting back on azimith, one night I was working in a housing unit in the jail, feeling sorry for myself. The Corporal over the unit was an old retire E-8, I asked him if he ever missed the military? His answer, "Everyday, like a lost lover".
Maybe you could work that into a song Matt.
Frank Rigelwood Sr. Im looking for a change of pace and thinking about trying out for 20th group
You sound like a great guy.I am sitting here disabled from a car wreck.My family is military.I lost my Dad 5 years back to Cancer He was in the Army and Navy,Bot my brothers Army,Both Nephews 1 corpsman the other Army. ,I could not serve due to a knee fracture,I now am 54 and feel like I'm still trying to get around due to my wreck.I wish I had done more too.I hear what your saying to people.Loud and Clear. Thanks for that message.
" Take a EMT course, then spend some time working on an ambulance." This is fantastic advice.
The best thing to do is, if you can pass that knowledge on someone else, younger. For me, that is the best feeling.
I've been thinking about starting EMT training once I'm sixteen to be doing something before I go into the military. This advice is fantastic to hear.
Thank you.
Thank you ALL for your service! My bf served 9 yrs. 3 Tours, in Iraq and Afghanistan. The bad ankles and knees resonate. lol I've heard from so many "I would go back and do it all again." The heart of the warrior never dies. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
He's a lucky man
May God always watch over you both. He's a helluva man, and you're a helluva woman for having his back.
@@oldgoat142 Thank you 💕
@@rolandblaise1149 Thank you 💕
"I got bad ankles, I got bad knees"
Who else can relate to that line?
fighting the va 2 failed ankle surgeries on right ankle at this point long run amputation is considered
@@Steelheadjiggy07 DAY-UM! It's bs you should have to fight the VA on that.
everyone over 30 even if you didnt serve
@@hardwirecars By the time I was 25 I had varicose veins in my ankles and my knees were shot.
The easier question is who can’t relate
Guessing the 3 people that disliked haven't made their ETS date yet
Guessing the people that disliked haven't served anything except for themselves their entire life. I didn't serve in the military. Wasn't the right time when I was that age. Still one of my regrets. I have however been a police officer for the past 32 years and still going. Thanks to Matt and all the brace men and women who serve this great Country. God bless and pass the ammo!
Antifa keyboard warriors most likely.
Probably OTH or dishonorable discharges. Pogues? Who knows. Maybe they didn't even make it through boot camp. Lol
Losers
The 3 dislikes came from Pelosi Harris and Feinstein.
No they got stopped lossed and are pissed.
I can't believe somebody finally wrote the ultimate veterans anthem..
You're the best brother! Keep up the great work 🇺🇸
Only Matt could make a song thats really a joke, or parody, but make the whole community of vets cry.
Holy crap....I've been out over 30 years but this song is absolutely truth. Everyone wants to be infantry until it's time to do infantry stuff. I miss it!
I tell my VA shrink all the time that the only thing I truly miss is being with my fellow 11B's . The Brotherhood of The Blue Cord. I hate the armchair soldiers.
On my 2nd re-eval the shrink was late. I had already called QTC and told them if she wasn't there in 5 minutes I was outta there. She shows up and I asked her if her being late was part of the re-eval and she looks at me like I have the proverbial dick sticking out of my forehead. I explained to her I already had some issues about civilians, the us and them syndrome. It was a quick, right to the point session. Yep I was an 11b also.
11Bs don't like BS. I am 11 Bravo and proud of it.
Amen brother oohrah get some
It's been 30+ years for me, and I still miss that shit and my boys.
Ditto.
29 years for me brother, I miss it, Now I want to take out some commies
Same here. Can't believe it's been over 30 years. Seems like yesterday.
I met a fellow Vet today at Walmart. He Served over 70 years ago, and still had that spark in his eyes
Been 50 for me. Just like it was yesterday. Best years of my life.
I am a United States Marine Corps combat Veteran and have been diagnosed with PTSD. I am so glad to have found these videos. For me they are therapy. When I was in the Corps I couldn't wait to EAS. I have to admit that I miss the Corps so much. The military is truly a brotherhood. The good and bad memories will forever be a part of me and I would not trade those memories, good or bad for anything in this world.

If You're thankful for this song I'm thankful for you!

Thank you for your service too!!!!
Isn´t it funny....we hated it , being in the buisness, but goin back to "normal" was the hardest time ....
Just an Air Force guy that visited Iraq twice. Great song, definitely relatable. I miss it and them
Funny...but just a little sad.

Wow! This had everything a good music video should! The Red White and Blue! Girls! Mortar fire! And Slash! 👍👍 ups if I could.
Amen! Medical discharge after 7 1/2 years. Was the hardest day of my life when the doctor told me I wouldn't be able to serve anymore.
People don’t seem to realise it worse when the option is taken from you, I was injured in Afghanistan in 2009 I would still be serving if it weren’t for that. It wasn’t till I was injured that my commanding officer had said he was going to recommend me for commission upon return from deployment, I could have been a Major by now.
I'm a grown ass man and the day they told me I was no longer medically fit to serve I fucking cried.
Shit was hard I had no idea what the fuck else I was gonna do besides be a Marine that's all I'd ever planned on or done in my life at that point.
Miss it dearly.
Same here. I cussed the E-6 & E-7 who calmly stood over my hospital bed with discharge papers to sign after I failed medical review... again. It was only kinda okay because the guys wore CIBs, because I would have choked out a POG with my IV.
Served 5 years in combat. Got medically discharged because some kid fresh out of basic jumped the curb and hit me. woke up to the Doc saying I was never gonna walk again and they were gonna go ahead and start discharge.
@@mikealpha2611 I know right? That's enough to really piss me off. Just like the stories I hear about people who go to combat and come home without a scratch, just to be shot by their neighbor. I feel for you man, I truly do. God speed.
When it says, “ date night cancelled” my wife laughed so hard.
I lost two wives to the same thing. Sorry you lived it too. I’m there with you Brother.
Holy shit.... this is amazing. Really accurate.
The hardest part about the Army for me was getting used to being a civilian again. It's been 8 years and I still have separation anxiety with the ability to put retards in the front leaning rest position.
LOL.
That's nice 😂
"Got bad ankles, got bad knees, even my back is destroyed " I feel personally Attacked 😂
Do I hug my DD214 or convince the wife my bad knee wouldn’t disqualify me from a prior service enlist. Hmmm
Take the DERUS
Hahahaah, just had this same aru....Figh.....tal...well words were exchanged, about this same thing.
I spent 26 years in, bad knees, bad ankles, bad back, 70% VA , retired in 2013, 57 y/o just asked my wife if she thinks Customs and Border Protection would waver me to sign up, she just laughed at me. I really do miss it.
@@brownh2orat211 If they don't file a discrimination lawsuit. 👍
You'd probably get medically retired after you got reinjured. Hopefully, it wouldn't get someone else injured or killed.
I cant stop listening to this song on repeat everyday when I wake up. I couldn't wait to get out and now im here and want back in
Stormtrooper balad:
Can't believe we missed this.
It was only 3 meters away.
Damm.
But they got Leah with a stun blast. The only thing they can hit with.
The only reason they miss is because the maun characters have the most strongest armor its called plot armor
They were ordered to miss by Vader
Stormtroopers lol
I couldn't agree with you more, brother. Somedays it takes me 10 mins to get vertical when I wake up, but i would sell my soul for another 4 year run. 1T2X1
Holy fuck you just made me nut !
This song reminds me of those nights I dream Im back in uniform. I've been out 12 years and I still think about it sometimes. That uniform was more than just a job, it was another life entirely.

War gives you the ability to put in work... Dealing with Chain of commands BS gives you PTSD.... its science.
Amen to that
No doubt
Do you think the missing piece for PTSD is related to missing the camaraderie? This video just popped up in my feed. I’ve known about Matt Best for years though. I’m digging the Black Rifle shirt
I spent 20 years Army, retired, lost myself in alcohol and depression, ended up in the hospital from an attempt to end it, then to the psyc ward and then to a VA treatment center. When I arrived I felt at home, back with people like myself. Most will not understand how it affects us when we leave, but my story is far to common. These vet channels help brighten my day, but life still has lost that spark. I don't think we ever get over missing, but at least there are brothers and sisters out there to have each others backs.
You're not alone, and yet you are. I get it. Sometimes the most lonely place is in the middle of a crowded room
I'm sorry you feel that way brother. It is hard, coming back from that. Just keep walking, a step at a day. Eventually, hopefully, the light of the world may shine in the darkness you live in.
In Aeternum,

At 53 yrs old, I still dream that I'm reelisting back in the service! I guess my spirit want more but my body its an ancle, even thou I'm in great shape.
The struggle is real. I'm 43 and really feeling my 17yrs of Army service. Got to stay in shape or I will fall apart.
Ya know...I stumbled across your channel and have to say Im glad I did. Im an old war horse thats been through the Gauntlet with 8 combat tours and all shot to shit and cant do much of anything anymore except ride my Harley.
I honestly do miss the life as screwed up as it sounds. We all may be from different branches but were from the same tree and spilled the same blood in the same mud and with that said
One things for sure..
Im Honored to call each of you Brother. HOOHA..
DV HOLLYWOOD hooah
Second that!
Thank you for serving from one dumb civilian. Never forget
A lot of truth in this song. I got out in '71 and some days I do miss it.
Amen to the "got bad ankles, bad knees and back destroyed" line. And so true about long ass VA line. Thanks brothers for another awesome video.
As a Brit ex Army its remarkable how true and similar this is - those stupid lumibelts, Sitting around all day doing fuck all to then be thrown a fast ball at 5 'nobodies going home till its done' - health and safety on correct lifting techniques then running around with Jerry cans etc hanging out however you can to get to the end. As shit as some of it was, working in an office makes you question your decision to leave. i didn't realise how much i swore until i noticed i was the only one doing it. I miss the clowns, but not the circus.
Great song! It rings true too. I dont miss 99% of that bullshit, but the brotherhood found overseas cant be replicated and that is what I miss
Bro, ain't that the damn gospel right there!!
It's hard for people who haven't lived it to understand. I miss it more than I like to admit. Glad I found this. Keep up the good work, y'all.
This really helped me too. I’ve been having a tough go of it myself, missing them and all the laughs and triumphs and bitching. It’s not the same out here at allllllll.
Stay strong, brother.
I miss hating it but still not wanting to get out ha.
I remember the day I signed and I miss it all. Most of all I miss my brothers and sisters that came back in boxes. The worst mistake I ever made in my life was not reupping. I am sorry brothers and sisters.

All joking and jostling aside, I really and truly miss being on Active Duty Military ( USMC and US Army), and, if I could Reenlist for yet another 8 Years on My MSO ( Military Service Obligation), I gladly would.
I never thought I’d even THINK about uttering these words, but......
I’d re-enlist in a heartbeat too if I could.
I can’t stop missing the hell out of it.
Thanks for keeping it real guys, 37 years of service, I laugh so hard watching your vids.....wife doesn't understand why...love you guys
I just read your comment to my wife and she replied "it sounds like me and you". She always complains about how loud I listen to the videos. Hearing loss does that I tell her.
What did you do in the military?
Wow... back when i subbed, I never expected videos like this one... You have my respect. I am not even american, and I feel the need to thank you for your service.

So incredibly true, once a soldier always a soldier. I miss the military, far more exciting than civilian life. The comradery is very different than it is in the military. Guess you have to be in the service to understand what life is like and how different it really is, and how still to this day soldiers get along better in civilian life with other soldiers than they do regular people. They just do. It's a bond. Enjoyed your song. Thank you for sharing it with us. USN veteran ♥🇺🇸
It's true. I miss my brothers and dealing with the new butter bars but most of all the comrodery
GOD BLESS THE MEN AND WOMEN THAT SACRIFICE THEIR LIVES FOR OUR FREEDOMS.
THANK YOU VETERANS.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸
I wondered if you'd see this 😂💪😎✌️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💋💕
Was a great video !!
FRIED GREEN TOMATOES ~Hello FGT. I dipped in for a second to take in some awesomeness. Hope y’all are doing well. Video rocked. 🇺🇸😎✌🏼
I’ll try to get on later. Trying to knock out 5 days in 3 with temps at 101 and higher by 10:30 am.

I hated PT early in the cold mornings, field training, hurry up and wait, NCO's micromanaging every aspect of our lives, dog and pony shows, and even Afghanistan. Now, I'd give anything to go back and do it all again. I'd give anything to bring back the ones who paid the ultimate price. I will never forget them.
I was never in the military, but my friends who were, do tell me this exact thing. It is sad, but I love the stories, sad, good or just horrible.
But they will hardly ever talk about that one day that changed their life forever.
@@mr.k.i.s.s7496 wanna talk about it?
@@lightningchegg4823 it's the only way I stay half-ass balanced. Not a day goes by that I don't think about something that happened in the Sand Box.
@@mr.k.i.s.s7496 hmm... I see. Why do you think that really is?
@@lightningchegg4823 Probably because Civilized Societies have shunned Wars and Warriors for the last 100 years. Look at what happened to the Vietnam Veterans: They were virtually cast out of society. Conform or die. The only people you can depend on are your buddies. You are linked to them forever through your shared experiences, good and bad. I live in an Oilfield Town. The smell reminds me of the stinking canals of Baghdad, and can't get away from that. It's also hot, not Iraq hot, but definitely warm, and that reminds me too. Then there's Veteran's Day, Memorial Day, and there is that One Day, the day a Soldier was killed, that's seared into my brain. The IED that went off next a Friend's Truck. The day I almost died was seared in my nugget....and the toll of underestimating your enemy, as you throw an IP in the back of a pickup, as he bleeds all over it. The poor Taxi Driver who got Car Jacked half a mile from home, and was executed by his attackers. Those are just some of the things I will never forget.
Thank you all veterans for your Service.
Hero’s don’t wear capes they were dog tags, thank you all who sacrificed everything for me and everybody I know to be free.🙏🙏 remember the fallen
Everything in life went downhill after I got out. Best time of my life. I’d do anything to go back in.
Same here man
Honestly though 🥺
Yup
Hua 🫡🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🫡💪🏾
I was never any kind of special ops, but I really miss the dudes I served with. 2 tours and we were so fucking tight, nothing I wouldn’t do for them, or they for me.
Same…A lot of entry control point shifts and vehicle/TCN search pit duties. I had a few close knit bonds, one with a Marine that crossed over to the blue. Best partner to have when a truck is creeping up on you like it’s about to do a drive by.
Been there! Done that! Bought the T-shirt! Got the scars. I would turn the clock back in a pico second to be back in the shit again. Civilians cannot understand it at all even if they claim to do so. They cannot fathom that those were the times when we felt more alive than we ever will again. They have no idea what a REAL family is like. Thanks to all who never made it home, to those who did and to those who hopefully will make it home.
Justin Moore - To The One’s That Didn’t Make It Back Home - It’s a good one too. I for sure miss it. Life seemed a lot simpler over there…even though it was crazy as all get out. Iraq 07-08 and 2010.
Agreed. It was so much fun back in '05 - '06 that the base had the nickname of Mortaritaville! Yep! Still got that T-shirt, somewhere, I think.
At least we all knew where we stood and didn't have to walk on egg shells or deal with soi kids, pronouns and other commie induced Bravo Sierra!@@publicuser2534
those of us who lived it.. never forget the memories
Man this hit hard. Glad to know I'm not alone in feeling this way. I separated 13 years ago and I still feel depressed every day about it. I miss my squadron. :(
From a current service member - a big thank you to all who have gone before!
I do really miss it. My ETS date was over 25 years ago, Feb 1994. I keep in contact with some of the guys I served with but miss far too many, some not with us anymore. It's funny when you meet a real fellow veteran how easy it is to slip back into that military mindset and mode. I LOVED the song and I LOVE your Black Rifle Coffee. My favorites are AK Espresso and Silencer Smooth. I have yet to try the Murder Out bag I have. Looking forward to all the new coffee you have out. Take Care and Keep your powder dry.
Holy shit - that was outstanding! TH-cam suggested this one and I clicked the video thinking it would be some funny, semi-lame song, but god damn boys - you rocked the hell out of that one! I'm gonna go watch that one again.
Just in time for 4th of July, hope everyone at the party likes it
I’m listening to this song with less then a month to go before I hang it up after 20 years. Will I miss it sure but missing your buddies is the real thing you miss. To all the Vets keep kicking butt in the civilian world!!!!
You know it's a good day, when there's a new video from Mat Best!
Been out for 45 yrs now and yes I miss the shit. Semper Fi brother
Semper Fi Salt Dog
My dad fought for Iraq in the 80’s until mid 90’s how he survived it is beyond me
@@ameanal-abij6415 Damn, that's some tough shit right there.
Out but not forgotten. Thank you for the time you served, however long or short it was.
I've watched this quite a few times since it was released. The more I watch the more I remember the things my Uncle and Grandfather had said to me over the years and can't help but believe this is how they felt themselves. God bless them and God Bless all our Vets and Service Personnel.
Thank you gentlemen, that was an awesome and true song, from a retired, disabled vet...you guys are great, and thank you for your service!!
Every time I visit my grandpa he tells me how he wishes that he could fight for this nation again 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
Ever wanna tear up find the video of the great grandfather telling his great granddaughter that he would go through hell again if was for her, as he served in ww2
Even though they are being silly you can hear the pain in their singing. Shit is so real. Been home from Iraq for 17 years and it hall rings so true.
100 dislikes right now, 14K likes. Pity the a**holes.
Gulf of Tonkin Yacht Club and hell yeah I miss it.
From one vet to another, I can't believe I miss it either! Best ballad ever!
Short question if you allow:
Did you serve along side other nations?
@@richijaufmann392 not sure if I understand your question. I worked with other nations, but I did not work for them. Mainly, working with them included interrogation. Not always though. We did help train their militaries to fight ISIS and Al-Qaeda. Believe it or not they hate local police and military more than Americans. Those are just some things we did. Others I'm not at liberty to discuss with anyone, accept the people I was there with. Hope this answered your question. I did not work for other nations to be clear.
@@dandawson129 i ment with other NATO countries (like germany). In operations lije ISAF. If you are not allowed to talk abbout this its ok. Thanks for the answer
@@richijaufmann392 No I did not work along side or with them. Two tours we operated were in Iraq, typically. Some jobs led us other places, but we mainly stayed in Iraq.
@@dandawson129 Thanks
I'm reenlisting, I can already tell
That was actually pretty good fella's! What I miss are the life long friends I will never forget but also probably never see again!!! 1st Gulf War Vet....
You had me at "I've got bad ankles, I've got bad knees. Even my back's destroyed."
I don't miss the 8 hour jump timeline though.
ATW
My dad says he diesnt miss climbing up a mountain on the artillery range in san Diego. He misses his knees tho
Only good part. An old soldier doesn’t have feet, ankles, knees, or back. Got enough titanium and chrome moly steel in me to trip any metal detector. The 30 was”fun”, I guess, but constant pain dulls the jolly memories.
ATW BROTHER!
A former 12b combat engineer and after my years I do miss this shit and miss my brothers in arms.. be safe out there bros
I can't help but cry each time I hear this song. Every last word hits home so damn hard.
If I could go back, i'd do those 20 years.
As twisted as this sounds... there's too much truth to it! I DO MISS IT!
I just signed up in February, personally I'm excited
With the forth approaching I want to say thank you for your service to Matt, Jared, Evan and all the guys at BRC. Your videos always give me a good laugh. Happy forth guys. Thank you! MURICA’!!
Much appreciated. I hope you have a wonderful 4th as well!
33 years ago today I raised my hand, put it down 4 years ago. I don’t miss ‘it’, I miss them.
@Sum Guy ..?No, handling squealing shits like you!!
I have around 90 days left on active duty before I retire after 20 in the Army. Seen so much crazy shit you can’t really describe it to anyone else that’s never been there. Some good years, some horrible years (looking at you USAREC) and a few in between. I won’t miss the stupid shit like height/weight, barracks inspections, and basically being an Adult Day Care Manager that tracks dental appointments and flu shots. But the social aspect while at work, that I hope to find again. As I start my last week of out-processing, this was a great way to start the day. And, wait... hold on... what’s that guy doing? “Hey, you! Where’s your god damn PT Belt? Come here....”
Watched your movie. DID YOU EAT POPCORN LAST NIGHT!!!! Hilarious 😂 thank you for your service. Not to mention all the vets you cast in the movie. Much props. Range 15
