Exactly a year to the day since Matt Ward suddenly and unaccountably ceased uploading new videos to his excellent site, we still have no explanation of the real reason for this odd situation or any indication of if and when he may return to TH-cam. Whatever the case, here's wishing him and his family all the best in the hope that we might sometime in the future hear from him again. His Channel is much missed by his fans and would be welcome back.
@Angie Ball Yes, it does seem strange that Matt is still incommunicado, but the most likely reason is that he has simply been 'asked' to keep quiet by the Military. His role as a Signals Officer may mean that his Security Clearances now prohibit him from disclosing any details of his work in the Reserves on social media such as TH-cam. Many organisations and businesses are now introducing rules such as this, partly because the internet has developed an increasingly poor reputation for attracting negative influences, partly because the world situation appears to be deteriorating in some areas, notably China, the Russian Federation/Ukraine and Iran, and partly because Privacy Laws and Data Protection Laws are steadily becoming much more strict in many countries. A number of YT Channels that I was following a year ago have also 'disappeared', possibly for similar reasons, usually without warning or explanation. I think we will just have to wait and see if Matt is able to come back 'on air' in the future, and I hope he does.
@@lordsteppergod7269 The current tension in Eastern Ukraine was initiated in early March 2021. Matt Ward ceased uploading to his TH-cam Channel in December 2020. Therefore it is unlikely that the sudden cessation of his social media posts was purely due to the events in and near the Donbas region of Ukraine. It is more probable that any restrictions on certain serving members of the US Military are due to new strictures of a more serious nature, which the intelligence community in the West are attributing to the overly aggressive leadership stance of the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China, coupled with the alarmingly weak responses shown by the leadership in Washington DC. In my view, the most likely flashpoint of the current world situation is the South China Sea, since this would inevitably have a significant effect on freedom of International Waters in that area and international trade in general. With China currently experiencing a number of serious internal issues, its leaders will probably strive to increase tension in locations such as the Paracel and Spratly Islands so that they can generate a state of 'externalisation' that will enable them to advocate additional restrictive policies regarding China itself, Taiwan and Hong Kong. The potential problems in the Ukraine region, in Iran and North Korea are potentially much more straightforward for the Western Alliance to solve, both by Diplomatic and Military actions. I would further add that issues with cyberspace, particularly the ongoing anti-Western activities of the Russian Federation, are also a key reason why the leadership of the US Military may well choose to prevent particular serving members of the Armed Forces from divulging any details of policies, tactics, strategies or indeed any other information on social media, and the simplest and most obvious method is an overall ban on such activities.
I’m homeless, joining the army to combat this. I’m so excited. I leave for MEPS on Thursday. Please wish me luck, and pray for me. I want this more than anything I’ve ever wanted before.
Good luck and good choice. It will definitely put you on the right path IMO. I was in a long time ago and messed up got kicked out but I’m still young enough to re-enlist in the National Guard so that’s what I’m doing and like you I have never wanted to do anything more in my life. I didn’t do it right the first go around and will gain so much more from it as a more mature person and be more valuable to the Army. Side note: Did you tell your recruiter you smoke bud? Do you have to get a waiver?
Really crazy, I remember watching Matt’s vids leading up to joining the army, and he disappeared just a few months after I started basic. Hope he returns, but grateful for the content he made which helped prepare me at the time.
you know whats crazy 3 years ago i watched one of your videos about what i need to know about basic training and tomorrow i re enlist for another 3 years this has been the best experience of my life
Love this channel man, it’s what inspired me to enlist. I was thinking army initially but ended up going navy and I ship in November. Keep posting man this channel is great
Much of the usefulness of Matt Ward's TH-cam Channel was that it was regularly updated. Now the entries are rapidly becoming out of date and are thus not a reliable guide to what new Recruits can expect in 2023. A pity, but this seems very common on Social Media platforms and many Content Creators simply disappear without warning.
This man always seemed strong mentally. And very helpful in my learning on what to know before joining the Army. Really hope all is well. And that his absence is work related and not health related.
Hey Matt i just wanted to thank you for your videos. I remember this past summer sitting on my couch watching your vids nervous as hell for BCT. I'm graduated now and at Ft. Benning for OCS. Your videos really helped prepare me and put my mind at ease. Keep up the good work!
been thinking about joining the army for years now and i can say watching your channel has open my eyes to a lot of things now I'm ready to join and to serve this great country called the USA
Sir, I wanted to say I watched a ton of your videos while I was thinking of enlisting. After a few months after watching your videos I enlisted as 11b active army (jan 5 - aug 5 in OSUT) and currently in Fort Hood Texas. I love the army and wanted to say thank you sir for helping me with the knowledge that I used through out OSUT. Have a good day sir!
I’ve always had an appreciation of people (most likely not authorized from the military to do so) posting US military tactics online on TH-cam for our enemies to see and study our own tactics....very smart move!
@@danielcrawford1929 FMs, ARs, etc. were originally only accessible through APD that can be accessed with a CAC card. Meaning, not everyone can see it. Then people slowly started to post it online, post TH-cam videos on it, and just make it accessible for everyone which really is harmful for our troops. Even if the government allowed it to and said its not “OPSEC” its still not a smart move. Don’t you think that’s common sense?
These videos are very very informative and helpful. Right now, I’m at BLC and when I’m done, I’ll be PCSing to a new unit shortly after. So, I wanna be able to come back to these videos so that I can train my future subordinates on battle drills and other warrior tasks.
I ship out within a short amount of time to Fort Jackson (92A), I've been watching your videos religiously to try and make sure I do the most I can, thank you for your videos and I can't wait to come back and see what else you uploaded!
I found Matt's wife's Facebook page. She has lots of recent pictures. Same with his mother's Facebook page. Matt is totally fine. I will say that I am disappointed in him for just suddenly quitting TH-cam without any explanation. He had a huge following, and I think he owed it to us to let us know that he was going to stop making videos. Even if the Army told him to stop, he could have at least told us he was fine but was taking a break from TH-cam. We all worried about him and didn't know if he was dead or alive.
Love his channel. I also moved on with my life. Most here do not know him personally. I do not think I am entitled to an explanation or some sort of inner access.
noooooooooooo. bro.. where tf are the new videos. seen the name ward on a paper n reminded me of your channel.. i went to basic jan 2020,, i watched your videos religiously prior to.. you gave me a whole lot of insite on what i should have expected and for the most part you were 97% spot on.. hooah. come back bro.
I don't know what happened to you that you disappeared but I hope and pray you guys okay your baby and stuff everything's alright in your brother God bless you all
@SEMPER PROGRATIS where did u get that info from?? I've been seeing some stuff in the comments about him allegedly threatening and scamming women. Whats the story??!
It's been a year now since we have heard from Matt. I kind of thought that if he was told to go dark online, that it might be for a year. If he doesn't post now after a year, then something extreme must have happened. We may never know.
Yeah, I was really expecting to hear something after a year. Something has obviously happened. If Matt had simply decided to stop making videos, then he would have announced that to his subscribers. Something happened that was out of his control.
Is anyone here in the Army and able to look Matt up? I'm in the Air Force, and I can look all members up on our email system. I figure the Army has something similar. At least we could find out if Matt is still in fact in the Army. If he's not, then something terrible happened.
Hey Matt I was going to join the army but the Canadian armed forces has me more interested but hey your tips help me a lot even though you might not upload anymore your still a good TH-camr
Firstly Thank You for your service. Been training with a Captain in the NY Air National Guard for 6 months - have a bachelors degree - is it better to go to OTS first as she suggests or BMT as others say then OTS? What is best ?
I wondered the same and did some digging. It appears he had some unfortunate allegations thrown against him. Something to do with multiple social media accounts being used to scam and threaten women for money. Absolutely no clue if there is any merit to them (I desperately hope not), but he went MIA on all social media platforms. Like I said, I'm really hoping they're not true because he's been a great and uplifting presence on this platform, but either way I'm sure its been an extremely difficult situation for him. :(
@Angie Ball his Facebooks most recent posts have people claiming that they were scammed or threatened by him. Some with pictures. It’s unclear if they are falsified or sent by accounts posing to be Matt, something that had happened to him in the past. I’d like to give him the benefit of the doubt though, and the whole situation breaks my heart.
Hes all in basic training. When you get to your unit you will be doing this all the time in detail. Especially if your an infantry mos, you will learn alot and become experts at it.
Hey matt, its been 2 years since you stopped uploading, really hope everything is well, i leave for btc in about 10 days. you are one of the reasons im joining, hope to see you some day in a base and be able to say hi xD thx for all the knowledge!
@@choossuck7653explain what your talking about because I don’t understand the anger his fans have as if he had this obligation to say anything. I’m my head he made this to relay his knowledge to recruits and that’s it, never really got the vibe he really enjoys being recognized as the “guy on TH-cam who helps recruits”
I’m joining the reserves in June can you explain how deployment cycles work and what to expect can you explain the emotions felt and how you overcome them
It is well known among fans that Matt Ward is in good health, because he has occasionally been seen in the background of social media posts uploaded by other people. It is also known that he and Kelee have welcomed their second child into the world. The real mystery, however, remains, and is why he left TH-cam so abruptly seventeen months ago without any warning or explanation, and whether he will be bringing his Channel back at some future date.
Sir, I am thinking of coming into the army. I'm just not sure. I want someone to talk to that is not a recruiter. Could I set up a phone call and get some of my questions answer?
Matt Ward has not responded to TH-cam Comments for two years, and although many of his Uploads are still online they are becoming out of date. Speaking to an Official Army Recruiter is essential when applying to join the US Military, and they have all the accurate, current information at their fingertips, so there is no point in trying to avoid this step. Tips for getting ready to pass the Entry Tests include working daily on your physical fitness, learning how the ASVAB Test works, reading books about the modern Army and being sure that you are aware of the current world situation regarding areas where the US Army may be involved in the foreseeable future. Good luck!
Hey Matt, I’m 100% going to join the marines when I’m 17 (March 2022)! I really want to start preparing a year in advance, I’m super skinny and no matter how much I eat I don’t gain weight, I also have terrible cardiovascular endurance and strength, what are some workouts/techniques to increase my upper body strength and cardiovascular endurance? It just feels so hard to even run down my block (I’ll start wheezing and coughing really hard in the middling of running down the block). Any advice would really help! Edit: also how should I ask my mom and dad for permission to enlist?
Not to be that guy, but you don't eat as much as you think. Try eating 5 meals a day and including in each of them: protein (meats, milk products), carbs (rice, potatoes, bread, etc), and fibers (veggies, beans, etc). Start with light cardio like jogging a quarter mile then half a mile then a mile, and so on. Get a set of dumbbells and get creative... Use them to work on chest, arms, legs, abs. All that being said if you're not gaining weight its because you are not eating enough (2000+ calories a day) even though you think you are. Also, stay hydrated and more importantly, motivated. Good luck!
@@mothserp bro i was soo skinny that people use to call me a tooth pick and everyone use to bully me SO LISTEN:your core already have enough energy try downloading a training app and do exercise 1 day in 1 day out every week.slowly you will feel more hungry and stronger.DONT FOCUS ON OVEREATING I USE TO THINK I NEED TO EAT MORE BUT INFACT I HAD THE ENERGY IM MY BODY I JUST NEEDED TO USE IT, YES IT WAS HARD WASN'T EVEN ABLE TO DO A SINGLE PUSH UP BUT NOW I CAN DO MORE PUSHUPS THAT ANYONE IN MY GRADE.
I found on linkedin that he started a job as a programmer some 1 year and 8 months ago, roughly the time he left this channel. Maybe he simply wanted to leave the army behind?
@@duglife2230 I'm not sure what's going on either, but i read somewhere in the comments that someone is using Matt Ward's picture and name to scam people. I hope he turns out okay.
can I get a clarification about the IMA program if this is true 1. you still drill for two days per month. so twenty-four days a year 2. still also do two weeks per year for annual training/tour together with active duty 3. you can schedule when to drill. This includes AT and monthly drills. My Plan: if I can schedule when to drill then why not tackle it all out during the summer then go for full-time student. somehow this feels too good to be true
Man is like any recruiter. Man's really convinced me to join the army and dissappear off the face of the earth

I hope so because he is an excellent TH-camr. And just a good well rounded person.
I wondered the same and did some digging. It appears he had some unfortunate allegations thrown against him. Something to do with multiple social media accounts being used to scam and threaten women for money. Absolutely no clue if there is any merit to them (I desperately hope not), but he went MIA on all social media platforms. Like I said, I'm really hoping they're not true because he's been a great and uplifting presence on this platform, but either way I'm sure its been an extremely difficult situation for him. :(
@Angie Ball his Facebooks most recent posts have people claiming that they were scammed or threatened by him. Some with pictures. It’s unclear if they are falsified or sent by accounts posing to be Matt, something that had happened to him in the past. I’d like to give him the benefit of the doubt though, and the whole situation breaks my heart.
@Angie Ball that’s incredibly sad. Matt was the catalyst in helping me prepare for my enlistment. Absolutely prayers to him and his family.
@Angie Ball is that English?
Hes all in basic training. When you get to your unit you will be doing this all the time in detail. Especially if your an infantry mos, you will learn alot and become experts at it.
Hi matt I'm a big fan and because of you I've decided to go into the millitary
Hey matt, its been 2 years since you stopped uploading, really hope everything is well, i leave for btc in about 10 days. you are one of the reasons im joining, hope to see you some day in a base and be able to say hi xD thx for all the knowledge!
Trust me, he doesn't care about you man. This dude has shown his colors. Guarantee he is a little cucky
@@choossuck7653explain what your talking about because I don’t understand the anger his fans have as if he had this obligation to say anything. I’m my head he made this to relay his knowledge to recruits and that’s it, never really got the vibe he really enjoys being recognized as the “guy on TH-cam who helps recruits”
Graduated infantry OSUT on Dec 18 2020. Thanks for the vids! 🇺🇸
@Saito Pujols Bravo 2-58
man we miss you
I’m joining the reserves in June can you explain how deployment cycles work and what to expect can you explain the emotions felt and how you overcome them
Everyone Matt is alive and well I'm not saying how I found out so he can enjoy privacy but he's okay
It is well known among fans that Matt Ward is in good health, because he has occasionally been seen in the background of social media posts uploaded by other people. It is also known that he and Kelee have welcomed their second child into the world. The real mystery, however, remains, and is why he left TH-cam so abruptly seventeen months ago without any warning or explanation, and whether he will be bringing his Channel back at some future date.

@@muffin2147 the only reason I'm not saying how is because it involves finding family members of his lol
Sir, I am thinking of coming into the army. I'm just not sure. I want someone to talk to that is not a recruiter. Could I set up a phone call and get some of my questions answer?
Matt Ward has not responded to TH-cam Comments for two years, and although many of his Uploads are still online they are becoming out of date. Speaking to an Official Army Recruiter is essential when applying to join the US Military, and they have all the accurate, current information at their fingertips, so there is no point in trying to avoid this step. Tips for getting ready to pass the Entry Tests include working daily on your physical fitness, learning how the ASVAB Test works, reading books about the modern Army and being sure that you are aware of the current world situation regarding areas where the US Army may be involved in the foreseeable future. Good luck!
Matt please come back
Hey Matt, Can you do a video on how to become medical officer. Like how you would go from a specialist to a medical officer.
Missing your videos..
Hey Matt, I’m 100% going to join the marines when I’m 17 (March 2022)! I really want to start preparing a year in advance, I’m super skinny and no matter how much I eat I don’t gain weight, I also have terrible cardiovascular endurance and strength, what are some workouts/techniques to increase my upper body strength and cardiovascular endurance? It just feels so hard to even run down my block (I’ll start wheezing and coughing really hard in the middling of running down the block). Any advice would really help!
Edit: also how should I ask my mom and dad for permission to enlist?
Not to be that guy, but you don't eat as much as you think. Try eating 5 meals a day and including in each of them: protein (meats, milk products), carbs (rice, potatoes, bread, etc), and fibers (veggies, beans, etc). Start with light cardio like jogging a quarter mile then half a mile then a mile, and so on. Get a set of dumbbells and get creative... Use them to work on chest, arms, legs, abs. All that being said if you're not gaining weight its because you are not eating enough (2000+ calories a day) even though you think you are. Also, stay hydrated and more importantly, motivated. Good luck!
@@hectorflores3619 thanks for the advice! I will definitely screenshot this response
@@mothserp bro i was soo skinny that people use to call me a tooth pick and everyone use to bully me SO LISTEN:your core already have enough energy try downloading a training app and do exercise 1 day in 1 day out every week.slowly you will feel more hungry and stronger.DONT FOCUS ON OVEREATING I USE TO THINK I NEED TO EAT MORE BUT INFACT I HAD THE ENERGY IM MY BODY I JUST NEEDED TO USE IT, YES IT WAS HARD WASN'T EVEN ABLE TO DO A SINGLE PUSH UP BUT NOW I CAN DO MORE PUSHUPS THAT ANYONE IN MY GRADE.
hey man, did you end up joining?
Hope ya come back to TH-cam
Hey Matt I wanted to say you have been a huge inspiration for me and I want to join the army I just got to ask do you have any tips for the Asvab test
Study math from basics to algebra and geometry. The ASVAB math portion is the most important.
Matt teach me how to read LandNav. I am 4F and the City is scary when I have no anchor points to posloc..
Hi,
Do you keep the graduation outfit and the training one or do you have to return them after graduation/training?
The graduation outfit? Everything issued clothing wise you get to keep so long as you graduate
Can you do a video on land navigation?
He did one
I found on linkedin that he started a job as a programmer some 1 year and 8 months ago, roughly the time he left this channel. Maybe he simply wanted to leave the army behind?
Where you at matt we need you!!!!!
@Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington did angry drill sergeant say that or is it just a theory?
@Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington what's their reasoning behind not letting him rank up?? That's really dumb on the military's half
Anyone know where Matt has been? He hasn't uploaded in four months, and all of his other socials are either dark or they have been deleted.
@Angie Ball Huh? I don't understand what you mean by that.
@Angie Ball I know what catfishing means, but I am still not sure what you meant by that. Wasn't James Ward his brother's name?
@@duglife2230 I'm not sure what's going on either, but i read somewhere in the comments that someone is using Matt Ward's picture and name to scam people. I hope he turns out okay.
@@TheAfghanPride786 That happens a lot with military people, unfortunately. I'm pretty sure it happened with NavatheBeast at one point as well.
I even tried following you on instagram. Are you ok Matt??
I hope he’s ok
please come back
Matt were did you get stationed in the army
It is currently Wednesday July 28 where are you we miss you and the vids
Gonna be learning this next week during fire team tactics and squad. It's gonna be fun lol
can I get a clarification about the IMA program if this is true
1. you still drill for two days per month. so twenty-four days a year
2. still also do two weeks per year for annual training/tour together with active duty
3. you can schedule when to drill. This includes AT and monthly drills.
My Plan:
if I can schedule when to drill then why not tackle it all out during the summer then go for full-time student.
somehow this feels too good to be true
Leaving for basic training on August third can't wait
It’s been a year Matt 🥺
Great video, thanks for the info!
Where is bro at ?? I watched this dude in 2019 and I already finished my contract 💀
For real I already finished a contract then reclassed and he is still gone 💀
