i wont lie as a canadian myself alot of them are pretty two faced if im being honest i come from newfoundland
Can we jsut appreciate Azeal trying to piss off yet another branch of the US military by talking to their members?
I definitely appreciate Azeal for what he does
Gotta catch ‘em all
If they were smarter, they would consider this free PR. 🙃
'Join the armed forces! We pay Burger King money for work that should be 60-80-100$ PH but you get to do insane tasks that will make for lifelong memories & unhinged stories!
Seriously! We need more people to do these important jobs! *WE'RE BEGGING YOU TO JOIN!* '🙏
Whaaa he chose the best time to put these out. He should do one every year for the shutdown!
I have not learned my lesson 😎

I was thinking Undertale but I could see an Artsy Anime too! 🤌
I'd watch that
Reminds me of William Gibson's Idoru, if you're familiar
Or Jojo
Actually wait no it’s almost literally one piece
The Coast Guard is going to see this as free advertising.
unlike the navy💀
@@Merlin3434 right. That was a good video. An important video, with valid criticism.
Yeah the coast guard should Advertise themselves as "the quiet defenders"
Because they dont seem like much they are around
That must be why they let it out that there was coke in the White House 😂
@@obscurewondering3162The navy video had to get removed. Hopefully someone else can summarize it better than me 🤞🏻
Coasties sitting on thrones of coke seems about right, they deserved it, definitely a massive power move against the cartels
I bet recruiting would be crazy if that was a poster
And then burning the coke of thrones while posting pics of it.
The image of a smug Coastie on a burning throne of coke is way too funny
@@トーキ-g8v "surprise drug test"
the war on drugs is stupid and is why there are cartels - if all drugs were legal and regulated we wouldnt have a drug problem. this isnt a flex its a sign that the usa military is wasting your tax dollars on pointless bs.
My dad was a Coast Guard CMC for the Honolulu Sector. He did 29 years in the service, retiring as a Master Chief Petty Officer (E-9)
I consider the Mexico border the USA's biggest vulnerability but the Coast Guard around Bermuda & Florida is the 2nd most important, IMHO! \m/
I hope he had fun & memories to last a lifetime. 💪
Edit: Sorry, was reading fast. Hawaii is like the Front-Door of the West. The reason I consider Florida the 2nd most important is because nothing makes it past Hawaii. 💪💪
We learned that hard-lesson in WW2.

@@placeholder5634 yes sir
@@Claymann71 it is indeed. Some of my best childhood memories come from Hawaii.
Ah hey, I live near there, sick
For the shark story I heard that those bullets pretty much lose all momentum when they hit the water, so there was very little danger of killing the shark and the goal is to just scare it off.
Don’t know how true that is though.
If you're in a fight with a shark, claw it's gills and eyes.
Mythbusters tested it, most bullets stopped in less than three feet from where they hit the water.
@@dashiellgillingham4579 that's why harpoons are effective up to what 10 feet?
@@thejuggernautofspades9453 Bullets are very light and aerodynamic rather than very heavy and highly hydrodynamic. There are such a thing as aquatic firearms, and you can see that difference in design there as well.
@@dashiellgillingham4579you want more mass and length, less cross-section? Like the harpoon guns on that James Bond movie?
I think the fireman position comes from the age of steam where you had people that needed to manage the boilers and make sure they don't get go out or blow up (they can also be called stokers).
*Stonk!* 💪
Boilers are great, as long as they are maintained & the building is built for them.
Pretty normal in Older Warehouses, New BIG Hospitals (most have LNG Heating Systems with Zoned Directed Heating & Cooling) & OLD mansion-ish houses.
It just occurred to me that the nuclear technicians on the ships that have thoes are the closest thing we have to firemen today. They monitor the reaction to make sure it doesn't get out of control.
Not at all. Basically every sailor on the planet gets firefighting training, and typically they drill on it regularly. In the navy there is fuel, munitions, flammable gasses, and many other fire hazards on a ship. Fire safety is pretty damn important on any ship
That's a given, but when you use steam to generate electricity and heat or the engines run on it, you need people to stoke the fires and make sure the water level doesn't get too low.
@@JopsyduckWell, not quite. The navy still has some conventional steam boiler powered ships, so the guys that run those engines are still firemen in the traditional sense.
Just for the sake of completeness, those ships would be the Wasp class and the Blue Ridge class.
i was fishing on a crab boat when we got buzzed by the coast plane. deadass the pilot was all like watch this ima freak out that fishing boat. loved seeing the sockeye head out in the mornings. but when they sit and watch us, im eating a mre while watching THEM
man i love the spaghetti and meatballs mre

43:46 About the drowned guy being super cold, shockingly enough, he most likely wasn't dead! There is this saying about reviving people: you're not dead until you're warm and dead.
The scientific reason is that the body tries to hold in the last of your heat by constricting your blood flow if you’re freezing to death, keeping the heat from being dispersed outwards by the blood. For this reason and sue to reasons like heatstroke internal body temperature is the most accurate measurement.
This is also why drinking alcohol in the cold actually makes you die faster as it causes the heat your body is storing to exit faster.
You know, I’ve never heard that expression before in my life until this week, where I’ve heard it on four separate, unrelated occasions. Three from TH-cam videos, one overheard at work. It feels odd.
@@Noblehowl1 read “John Dies at the End”
*frantically taking notes to write more authentic military shenanigans*
My uncle was in the coast guard back when they did hazing. He said he had to push a hot dog from one end of the ship to the other using only his nose.
… why a *hot dog*
@@eyemoisturizer No clue. Keep in mind I’m just paraphrasing.
Been in for almost 12 years now. Everyone who has been on a ship has a poop story. They are all a variety of insanity.
Like when it came out of our smoke stack like a sewage volcano. Fun times.
As in, your Ship's *engine exhaust* began to spew sewage?!
Dare I ask who or what f###ked up bad enough to make that happen?
Holy *shit* how does that even *happen*???
How
@dogevanzandt2889 it was a boat that we took from the navy when they said the ship is past its shelf life so the CG took it when they weren't looking and ignored the DNR on it. It was made in 71, lived till 91.
Then brought back and forced to live again in 93 until 2020. It was a... interesting time. She was not a happy ship and she let us know once with a poop volcano!
@dm_katy2263 let me just say at that point in time. Not even close to the most "interesting" thing that boat did.
If I recall a sewage "burper" (gas reliving systems) went to our smoke stack and from there the ship had explosive diarrhea out the exhaust port.
Just know it was not a fun night. Also it's hard to keep your balance when in rough seas, Fire Fighting Equipment, and when your just waking up. I'll let you do the math.
4:27. Idk what is more impressive. Walking to Goshen in a snowstorm or not getting hit on Route 47 or Route 9. 47 is sketch AF.
If the military is getting pissed off when soldiers share their experiences beyond military intel hazards, I say they kind of deserve it.
It's like flogging an ex employee for talking about their experiences at a company... (Hey, there's an interesting topic idea)
many employers have people firm NDA that extends long after the end of their work, and that makes thing much more complex
@@serPomizNDAs are 99% of the time a piece of paper that only serves to hold power over the employee. Not to protect “sensitive information” so fuck NDAs, never sign them, never respect them. The truth is more important than a piece of paper threatening you.
Part of me wishes that we just converted some of the HUNDREDS of destroyers and destroyer escorts from WW2 into coast guard vessels. Some ships (fletcher class for example) could reach upwards of 30 Knots in semi-choppy seas. The things were beasts and could’ve been so productive and even better without all that combat weight like ammo for guns and torpedoes
petition to give any remaining iowa class battleships to the coast guard to absolutely sublimate some narco boats
@@sethdrake7551Hell, the USS Missouri and Wisconsin were used as guided missile destroyers in the Gulf War, I'm sure we could bring them back to nuke some cartel boats
The key problem is they were designed with the fact that they'd be carrying that weight in mind. I don't know about the specific examples you gave, but I know there are Navy ships that - if you remove the guns and try to sail them flip over in the breeze because they're toplight and/or their buoyancy is off.
As I said, I dunno about WW2 ones specifically, but I can't see the gov't spending more money than they have to, so I assume there's a reason they didn't just retrofit a the old navy ships, and that seems like a pretty solid reason.
@@skatepunk4853from what this guy is saying, you could just ballast the destroyers with confiscated bricks of contraband.
@@williamchamberlain2263 That would require them to keep the precise amount of contraband they need to weight the ship on them at all times.
Even when they were going out to seize it, they'd need a ship full of cocaine so they don't tip over.
And even if you ignore that, a ship that isn't designed with ballast in mind may not be built in a way that allows the ballast weight to be distributed properly.
Love how military guys & stories can make the wildest stuff sound mundane. Like not exactly remembering just how much coke they were literally sitting on
Only naval story I have, is how my great grandfather worked as an engineer on steam ships during prohibition, and would smuggle whiskey bottles in the water tank of the engine room...cool small scale stories
The algorithm has really been screwing Azeal over out here man, hopefully the views get back to what they were before
They can't keep a Real Journalist down! 💪💪💪
Azeal is the GOAT! 🐐
Nah it’s because it started getting wack and also talking to wack people
@@nothanks9503which is weird, because reality tv shows thrive on weird people
Azeal was stressing me out for this one because he was constantly looking like he was going to tip backward and fall into the river.
Military guys are always so much fun to talk to. They are so down to earth and have a great sense of humor.
Finally a Coast Guard ep 🥳
Him sending those pictures of himself with the cocain is legendary.
If transferring from the Navy to the Coast Guard… never let anyone know you think it will be easier.
If the wrong person hears you have this opinion, they will move mountains to make sure you get an assignment to the Bering Sea… where you run face first into the very things that the Navy gets trained to avoid. I have met a few people who transferred from Navy to Coast Guard who had this happen to them, and regretted it severely.
Why. I'm very interested? Please
@@welshbrxnches The Bering Sea encompasses some of the most treacherous waters on the planet. 90+ mph wind speeds, hull-crushing ice floes, wave heights far taller than the ships being used to sail in them with short wavelengths due to shallow sea depths… It is everything that is the ninth circle of hell as depicted in Dante’s “Inferno” minus Satan himself.
The Bering Sea is fairly economically active due to rich fishing and crabbing industry in the area, so… rescuing crews of vessels caught up in 30-40ft tall waves is a lot more common than it has any right to be, with a 50+ft Rogue Wave being documented in the area.
@@welshbrxnchesI am not a Coastie, but I’ve worked with them in my job, and it’s well-known as one of the worst weather areas to patrol in. Very ferocious waves, wind, and sometimes icy water. Also if you go overboard, you are probably going to die due to the water temps.
@Scuffed_Garage Jesus christ....what are they patrolling that area for lol seems problematic
@@welshbrxnches The Bering Sea is also home to some of the most productive fisheries, and as a result, there is a lot of Commercial Fishing in the area. Occasionally they monitor Russian activity there as well.
Came for coke throne, stayed for the story
Honestly the Coast Guard is the only branch that I would consider joining.
his avatar looks like its about to deviously laugh at me
We the coast gaurd we know what we're doing
As they punch holes in the boat and light it on fire
New Azeal videos brighten my day
Of course i get fucking Coconut Mall'd by an Azeal vid about seizing thousands of kilos of cartel fun snow.
Coconut mall attempt successful
theres always one "bait" ship or what ever to ensure 90%+ gets through.
Also being afraid of the ocean is probably one of the best things for being in the coast guard cause you will have a larger amout of respect and caution for it. even if you might not be feeling the best at the time.
Coast Guard is Really unheard of but still awesome
RIP Stephen the Snake. :'( secretly served the coast guard by keeping mice out of the coast guard building without them knowing.
Babe wake up, Azeal dropped another video🗣🗣
Omg i commented the same thing without knowing you commented this lol
Back in the 80s when I was at Tracen there was a graduating class and one guy on the bus leaving flipped off the company commander....he repeated boot camp. All in Coasties are really good people. I had a prior injury cut nerve left foot I pushed on but received a medical honorable, I disclosed the injury but sad day when I had to leave then 35 years of personal torment then I've found a coustie irl and started healing. While it lasted was on of my proud moments. The history is stellar. Two oldest brothers became marines and I was the youngest learned a lot .... But I'm learning it's how injuries work.
Im a coastie I was HYPED seeing this in my notifications.
my bro was put in charge of the jp5 during his merchant mariners trip. he had some wacky stories
Man, if only I weren't on a cocaine bender in the Bahamas, I could join the Patreon! 😔
:pensive:
Bro's unit got Pavlov'd into beeping at geese
Even as an Aussie, this is some of the best unintentional advertisement for a US Service Branch that it makes me wish I could join. I mean, the Coke Throne looked fucking nuts.
Let's watch this video before it has to be taken down.

Hello from 2024 it’s still up
@@luv2singndance Yippee!
I hear they changed the height requirement to join the coast guard. No one under 6 feet tall can join, that way if the boat sinks they can walk to shore.
Ba dum tiss
I think this may be my friend TopHatBones! I haven't seen him in a few but I can recognize the voice and I know he uses that avatar. Or this is his doppelganger lol
I believe this was like his first time properly in VRChat as I had to show him how to show Azeal's Quest avatar lol
ah lol@@GoblinModeVR
They're not unhinged, they just deal with the craziest crap.
everytime azeal posts the military turns up like "there is no sad in the coast guard :)"
I love these videos so much, they're always a new experience that I'd never know about if it weren't for them.
FUN FACT TIME:
From what this dude says, this ship was most likely a "Medium Endurance Cutter" of the Famous-Class. These are 270' ships made between '79 and '89 with 2 .50 machine gun and an OTO Melara 76 mm gun from 1964. Its basically a helipad with a ship bolted to the front.,
I really appreciated this talk, however, I gotta correct him on one HUGE thing. At 1:23:07 he says most Coast Guard cutters are well over 30 years old “meanwhile, the Navy is decommissioning [US Naval Vessels] after 10 [years].” This is simply not the case. I work for a defense contractor as a structural fitter building surface combatants for the US Navy. Some of the vessels in the class of ship I construct are also well over 30 years of age, approaching 40. And that’s the case for many surface combatants in the fleet. Ticonderoga class cruisers, Alreigh Burke class destroyers, and Nimitz class aircraft carriers all date to the 70’s and 80’s. The newest examples are quite new in some cases, but many are over or approaching 30+ years in service. At a cost of billions of dollars to the US taxpayer and being under construction for many years *each*, it’s insane to decommission vessels after only a decade in service unless they’re considered a total loss.
Again, great talk, but I just had to throw that out there.
The coke photo was legendary 🤣
85 going north on 95 is rookie numbers.
As someone considering going into the coast guard after I graduate, it’s sick af to learn what to expect
While it may not change your mind, it is worth noting that the benefits are fairly good (including pay) and that job selection including location has a lot of variability. On the benefits side, base pay is low, but housing, healthcare and other allowances (like meals on the cutter or continuing education) are not taxed. State taxes can also be avoided by moving residency, which is done at the members choosing meaning once stationed in a state that doesn't tax income residency can be established and never has to be moved until the member is separated from the service. Taken together this means that civilian salary has to 3 to 4 times base pay before civilian take home pay matches military take home pay. As to work and moving, career planning is very important. With the right job and region, it is workable to have a 20 year career in one place. Lastly, it is worth knowing that the other branches have similar issues and that private industry has its own downsides.
The mental image I get from "he ran away from boot camp" is, inexplicably, the Chief from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" throwing the water dispenser through the window and running for the hills
Look at your little paws 😭 also love TH-cam because I can pause this, watch the shark going for the swim call, come back then look up TACLET when he brought it up. Super fun listen
This genuinely makes me want to join the coast guard
I was in the Coast Guard from 82 to 86. I was a plank owner on the first 270' cutter (Bear) and loved it. Nothing is perfect, but I would not trade the experience I got in the CG for anything. Then again I didnt spend 4 years as an E3. No wonder his experience was not a good one. I imagine he was released due to lack of advancement. Still interesting.
Plot twist: 85 on the highway up to Philly through MD is standard for MOST people driving on the loop around Baltimore. OR Route 1. Pretty much the whole way up.
Ah yes, IT. And the final form, super high intensive training. They give you as much of that as you can handle.
:)
This is my first time stumbling into your stuff, and I just want to say I love your avatar. It's really well designed, modeled, and animated. You're an absolute vibe.

I got this one in my notifications finally!
I was attached to the Gallatin (HEC 721) from Charleston, SC with our sister ship the Dallas. My unit along with the Dauntless (210, I think) were the first to use the HITRON 10 choppers, plus a newer RHIB system.
Every time we were in choppy seas we'd see the Dauntless just bouncing about like ping pong ball in a bucket. Talk about sea sickness.
We caught one gofast dropping 100 50lbs. bails worth at that time (1999) $200.0M. We had three interdictions that tour.
Why so bouncy?
I forgot how but it to do with the positioning of the superstructure in relations to it length and depth.
I think the 270's were more stable in that respect.
That made the cutter more vulnerable to a rougher ride. Both the 210's and 270's were WEC's.
I didnt know papyrus was in the coast guard
Yay a Azeal video time drop everything to watch 🎉🎉
that intro went to 100 real fast
Another great Azeal video!
I still have to see the video, but I must to write this: "ALTO TU BARCO" (it's a reference)
I’m actually leaving for Coast Guard Boot camp very very soon I’ve been getting ready, glad I came across this
the first thing about the boot camp bus driver gives me the vibes of
CRUISIN ON DOWN MAIN STREET, ALL RELAXED AND FEELIN GOOD
NEXT THING THAT YOU KNOW YOUR SAYING OCTOPUS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD?
This really makes me want to tell my CG story.
on a lark, I looked up what the hand-me-down navy flak helmets from the gulf war look like.
they make you look like Darth Helmet.
This is one respectful conversation.
As a Texan, going 85 on the highway sounds not that bad and perfectly normal on certain highways
54:30 yea mom this is the engin room, this is the loung, this it the coke throne, this is my room....
Having just got out as well, gotta say it’s kinda cool hearing ab someone summarize their time in too. Was at a small boat station in Alaska so I wasn’t particularly busy lmao
Sad to see your viewer numbers drop off and be part of the problem. Seems everyone had a depressing summer. However, coast guard shenanigans sounds delightful!
the fucking Coconut Mall music playing over the photos is sending me
This is the first Azeal video that was actually in my recommended so it’s probably a good sign
Man, I love these interviews.
"Private Castro, You have been in 7 documented 'accidents' in which cocaine fell on your face. Do you mind explaining that?"
"sir they were purely medicinal accidents"
I guess you can say his first day was shit LOL. But honestly, props to you for all you do man.
Golfito has this massive duty free appliance mall thing with like 11 appliance stores that’s pretty cool. Way cheaper than buying somewhere else in Costa Rica. There is also a really good restaurant tho idk what it’s called.
I hate youtube cus i wanted to watch this later but ot clicked it now while walking down stairs. Now i can't leave or it will hurt your algorithm which i cant so to you. Your to good.
If only there was a coast guard cutter map you could be in also those photos are amazing please bring the dude back for more stories
Ive been considering the cosst guard for the last few weeks, so this was a pleasant surprise.
16:55 any fire is controlled when it happens on a boat that is being intentionally sunk
The unsinkable boat in question is An Eduardono Panga Corvina 32/36/38. They are good boats.
LETS GOOO AZEAL!!!! 😂 If the armed forces want our respect they gotta earn it
yes
22:15 lol yeah it depends on where, if it’s a crap place then they aren’t likely to be friendly
HAIL THE COCAINE THRONE! 27:33
Depending on the angle of those shots, the shark would be fine. 50:00
RIP Stanley the Snake. ???? - 2022. He will be dearly missed. 1:20:00
"OH you're sad? Just... 🌟 don't be sad 😀 ✨️"
military moment
@Azeal Hey man just wanted to say thanks for all your videos, we may not line up on our political spectrum but I enjoy listening to everyone's stories, even those who may consider me someone reprehensible. Keep doing you
To be fair if I was in the coast gaurd I would’ve made a crack castle too
funny enough everyone that i have talked to thats in the coast guard or has been said they loved it.
I am from Honduras i can confirm that what the coas guard guy said about the heat here is true, if you don't have air-conditioning you are in for some hell my pc overheated from just the sun from the window and as they say, "you can go just low enough on clothing before you can be arrested" and its still not enough.
Sans really upgraded since undertale lmao
man it feels like these last few years we are learning so much about humans and how they work.
Last comment get Zach from the Mikeburnfire channel. Dude the most jaded small arms repair
sounds like my buddies merchant marine storys XD.
It’s always interesting listening to a non rate talk about the coast guard lol
I agree, a 4 year non-rate at that!
