I got out of the Army after 6 years in August 2001. I left service 3 weeks before 9/11. Talk about a gut check, imagine serving 6 years in mostly peace time besides Bosnia and Kosovo, and then our country was attacked right after I separated from service. The emotion of that time was incredibly intense. I was 25, and trying to start the next chapter in my life, but feelings of wanting/needing to return to the Army consumed me every minute of every day for a long time. Three days after the attack I attempted to drive to NY and help on the "pile", but turned around after the mayor of NYC said they were not allowing ANYONE into the city. Long story short, I did not return to the military, was not recalled, and to this day I live with a level of regret and guilt. My unit went to Afghanistan and Iraq twice. Main reason I did not go back voluntarily is because I was on a list to become a firefighter, and I did not want to mess that up. I've been a full time firefighter since 2003. Nick you will miss service every time you hear the National Anthem, or feel the urge to be part of something big, part of history. You did your part, don't ever forget that. I hope you continue to find ways to fill that void.
Nick you are such a inspiration, you are such a role model in my eyes. I’m so glad you do TH-cam you’re such a unique TH-camr and you have made me want to join the military. So Thankyou.
Whenever I start to lose motivation your videos really help me out and I feel the fire inside of me start burning again. I appreciate it, man. Glad to see you being so successful out of the military. I’m leaving the army in three months and I hope I can keep the drive as much as you do. You’re an inspiration to us all.
Currently finishing my senior year of high school getting ready for my four years or rotc. This you tube channel has grown to be my all time favorite channel. Ive never seen anything like it, thank you for being a great role model and inspiration. I was 1 year old on September 11th 2001. And the next generation after me will be people who did not live through this time in history. Its good to remember and never forget.
Nick, I started watching your stuff over about a year and a half to two years ago. Your videos have been there for me in the good, but theyve also brought me back from the edge during the bad. Your dedication to everything you apply yourself to took me from the edge and inspired me to get back to pushing myself every day. Without the content you put out to inspire, educate and entertain I don't know where I'd be, probably half the man I am now. Big up Bare brothers + Steph, keep at it !
This was like all my favorite videos edited into one. Your military background and the drive that you have inspires me every day. I’ll be doing the 343 squat challenge today for the second year in a row, only because I saw you do it first. Keep up the quality content, Embrace The Suck ✊🏻
Although I'm not American, I too joined the military and in 2010 deployed to Tarin Kowt Afghanistan with the Australian Air Force. I met so many amazing people over there including US soldiers, sailors and Airmen and women. I'd do it again tomorrow. I'm heading to the States on Friday and plan on buying a vet a beer or 10 if I find one to just say thanks.
Thank you Nick I love you you are my hero you inspire me everyday you are my role model I’ve been bullied for a while you’ve taught to keep fighting thank you I love you brother ❤️
This is now one of my favorites man, I appreciate all you've done and what you have built, most of all I appreciate being able to use your supplements while on deployment. Excited to see where you go from here.
This was a truly incredible video. Nick, I've been following your channel for almost 3 years now, and this video perfectly summed up those past 3 years. Nothing but motivation, dedication, compassion and endurance shines through in this video.
That's still very well as good for us Nick your courageously decesioning to consider enlisting with the ARMY.. Is something not everybody has the courage to do your a hero in my books brother, Thank you for service.
You are an inspiration bro. I love watching your vids and listening to your stories of your time in service. You are my motivation and i want to thank you for that. You will forever have a spot in my story bro. RIP those who died today you are missed.September 11
Powerful video man. Thanks for your service. I’ve bought things from you guys before, but BPN is where I’ll be buying my supplements exclusively from here on out.
What an AMAZING video! Such an inspiration, and driving force to be better today then you were yesterday! And to always try and make a difference, even if it’s small!! #neverforget9/11
True role model. I appreciated this video so much today. It was a real representation of the spirit of your audience and of your own personal drive. Never Forget. 9/11.
Jason Singley because I can tell you as someone who served in the Marines and never deployed I regret it every single day. It’s something we have to deal with
Like others have said it comes down a lot to chance. I had friends who joined the army one year earlier than me and and never went anywhere their 4 years. Where as I joined one year later and went to South Korea for 9 months, it’s only a rotation not a deployment but that just shows you that unless there is volunteer options to go to the Middle East than you may be shit out of luck
alex78lett@gmail.com is impersonating you! Hes sending people your pictures and videos saying its him. It is a felony to impersonate military personel. You are the only one able to report it.

If it makes you feel any better I’m on my 6th month in Kosovo and it was because of your rotations work that made this tour so easy.
Nick you are such a inspiration, you are such a role model in my eyes. I’m so glad you do TH-cam you’re such a unique TH-camr and you have made me want to join the military. So Thankyou.
Embrace the Suck baby! Tell myself that everyday because of you. Love everything you do and stand for.

9.11.01 I was in my Junior year of high school
I went to the military in 02’
Amazing
Im going to join the military right after I finished school!
What brand is that black hat with the white logo?
You make me not regret choosing 11-bravo 😂
You could tell he’s from the army or Airforce btw I’m from New York respect for every FDNY and NYPD personal, also civilians who died.
Hell yeah
Anyone know the name of the backing track around 3.15?
When will Creatine be back in stock?
Do you ever regret getting out having never deployed?
Why would he? He still joined not knowing if he was going to deploy or not.
Jason Singley because I can tell you as someone who served in the Marines and never deployed I regret it every single day. It’s something we have to deal with
I just did 6 years in the Army, never deployed once. It’s the sole reason I joined. It’s a roll of the dice especially this late in the game.
@@semperfortior9671 you joined brother that says a lot!
Like others have said it comes down a lot to chance. I had friends who joined the army one year earlier than me and and never went anywhere their 4 years. Where as I joined one year later and went to South Korea for 9 months, it’s only a rotation not a deployment but that just shows you that unless there is volunteer options to go to the Middle East than you may be shit out of luck
Nick would you ever consider joining the reserves?
I'm going to N.Y. next year for 9/11
Nick do you know Marqueze Hawkins ? From Fort Benning

Are you religious?
I want to respect you but I can't respect anyone that claims natty when they clearly aren't and show obvious indicators.
