Life is hard. I've accepted it. Every aspect of it. All in. No grey areas for me anywhere, no passive aggressiveness. Thank you for this video. Reinforced.
Wow. The killer instinct defined: Believe in the goal. Commit to it fully...or die. More wisdom in this video than a thousand out there.
I had to spend a year and a half to loose 80 lbs. i joined up at 28. I turned 29 in boot camp. I turned 30, 3 days after graduating BRC. i went through RIP and MART. Official schools SERE AND JUMP. Pre schools dive and sniper.
I just turned 27, and I'm enlisting as well. Self confidence really seems to kick in after 25
Straight facts. I’ve heard that some of those things before, “live a little bit” “you don’t have to be that disciplined”. You’re helping inspire me to be better, thank you so much!
2nd Recon Bn 91 - 95. I would say if you're not a natural athlete with the natural ability to run fast for a long time you're going to have a tough time getting into Recon. Start every day with a 3 to 5 mile run down the beach @ 7 min/mile pace in boots, faster in shoes. Every day! Have to be able to fin fast too. So then you get past that and get into a team and this is your life. Monday morning 6 am PT lead by platoon sgt. Get ready for the field the rest of the day. Get inserted Monday evening. Sneak around the woods on your feet 22 hours a day with 60 plus lbs on your back till extract Friday morning. Clean gear for the next couple hours and hope the armory accepts your rifle before the chow hall closes for lunch. Get off at 1630 Friday. Rest up the weekend. Monday morning start again with pt lead by platoon sargeant that pt's hard all week because he doesn't go to the field. Fun!
Amen Brother - I was 2nd Recon C CO mid 80s and I know you did it the way you described it, cause I also did it. Onslow Beach baby!
My brother was Recon. He's retired after 33 years. He joined in 84. He's still in phenomenal shape for a guy in his late 50's.
Very well said. My RIP (mid 1980s) started with 59 and only 8 of us made it. The water part on the front end weeded out like two-thirds of the dudes the first week. I am certain that all 8 of us had made up our minds that we would pass or die and the quit word never entered our minds. That's what separated us from the other 51
The standards for becoming a Reconnassance Marine (0321 MOS) in the mid-80s are remarkably similar to today but it's a different landscape and the primary missions have changed a lot. The Force Recon companies are now with Battalion Recon, three of each, as the deep recon platoon but they all support the Marine Expeditionary Units (MEUs), and are very highly trained. MARSOC supports SOC as it's only USMC element and they are very good.
So very well spoken Nick. Living with purpose makes all the difference
Short and sweet! Semper Fi.
I’m at RTC rn! It’s such a privilege to be here where such a strong man once was.
We had maybe 50 guys at the beginning of BRC. We graduated 4 with the 0321 MOS. BRC 3-96. The most ball-busting course I ever did, mentally and physically, including Ranger School and my Masters Degree. 😳 I was a HS wrestler. Wrestlers never accept defeat.
I remember making that same decision week one of brc. The instructors ended up pulling me out of the pool unconscious but I made it😂.
Going to A&S in august, you and your content have been a big inspiration for that decision
Good luck brother 💯
I’m starting reconnaissance training soon. This is great advice I will take it with me that will help me pass. Thanks. Will keep you updated
True words, sir.
Im currently retaking high school at 19 to get my diploma to join the marines and go into recon and eventually marsoc. The hardest tbing ive done in my life is train muay thai i failed in high school graduated with my GED and worked decent enough jobs since i was 15. Ive always wanted to join the military but never believed in myself until recently and this video was such an eye opener on the mindset required for this cant wait to get out there and embrace the suck!!!!!!
Respects
before i even watched this, that was my mindset on it already if im going to be able to get a contract
only live once, I know i can do the hardcore painful swimming, ive already done plenty of rucking and running and im in the military, ive already sleep deprived i know i can, and like you said just do that shit whoooooooaaahaoooo
not gonna get there by commenting about it to reinforce your mindset, as you just said just do ut
Bro, if you're not doing motivational speaking you'redepriving young people of a very important experience.
I've always wished I could've gone recon. I never knew they existed until I got in the fleet after MOS school.
Out of 60 recruits we graduated 23. I wasn't even in 3rd Btn on PI. Lol. Anybody who went to PI knows about the reputation of 3rd Btn.
There were so many bigger and physically more capable than me, but what motivated me was the fact that others had successfully completed BC, so I too could do it. I had no place else to go so I was committed to getting that EGA.
SEMPER FI!
Thank you very much for this video Nick. I really needed to hear this.
Everyone wants to be Recon till its time to do Recon shit.
Exactly!!!
awesome thanks Nick
Truth!!
Holy Frijoles, I SO wish I could just keep pressing the thumbs up more than once!
Needed this. Not a hs qb but similar situation in a different sport.
14 people remaining that's 91 % attrition rate
so good luck making recon
agree to the lifestyle people say hey you should live a little life nah im good
Sounds like negligence on both the mentality and the organization to risk unnecessary harm and injury for an ego boost.
But I get it there are two recons. The grunts that get selected and just in the pipeline for a secondary MOS, then the POGs who don’t want to go infantry and skip the pipeline
I think it’s all 0311 and the rest can be learned in the fleet without these courses
Few jobs in the world are literally as guts or glory as reconnaissance.
This video literally made me want to check out Nick's agoge training site and set up a call. Legit. Cannot like this video enough.
I'm 16 I'm from rural south central florida how do I get a recon contract??
Will you be dropped if you simply cant complete a task, or is it more about not giving up, and swimming until you pass out, running until your feet break etc.
You will get dropped if you cannot complete a task. If you’re not in good enough shape to complete the tasks they simply don’t even consider you.
A quitter is a loser. And a winner NEVER quits!!
Nick! All I can say is: “You are the man!”
👊🏻👊🏻💥💥
I thought that way many times in my life. For work and for some shitty pay
Are you still training bjj Nick?
To quit, to give up, is to fail…..lol
is marsoc the new recon force, or are they two different groups
Two different groups.
✊🏽
Tom Platz mindset
MOS: 0341 .MCRD CAL. 1980. SEMPER FI. ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR FOR 30 YRS. FAILURE WAS NOT AN OPTION. COPY THAT. AYE AYE SIR.
You can tell your age by amphibious recon school, since the new guys which you know all go to brc on the west coast, I always wondered why the corps got rid of the east coast school. I guess money stay strong dog
I think you got thought training because your balls-to-walls mentality tough as battleship armor😳😳😳
❤🙏🙌
Quit and out? Then out of the Marine Corps is bullshit.
Stop living in the past Nick.
Those that don't learn their history are doomed to repeat it. Its teaching, not living in the past.
As a fellow conservative Alpha male, who also worships guns over people and blames homeless people for my insecurities, I concur. Homeless people, hospitalized, elderly, disabled people, should be more motivated!!! It's not like our country exploits them. Or corporations use them. While people blame them for literally everything. They should be slaving for wealthy rich dudes who barley work but blame people with less as being lazy.
Calm down, liberal.
14/170? That's wild.
