- I mean it didn’t work out for me but I did create a ripple lol.
Word spread far and wide that some A hole 🙋♂️asked the Commandant to promote them in front of an entire unit.
Listen, you’ll never know unless you ask.
If I can risk dodging bullets, I can ask a simple question.
Snagged a sick coin out of the deal.
Thank you for watching. I started this journey of personal development when I retired early from the Marines. I served as a Marine Raider (MARSOC) for over 15yrs and when it was over, I was beyond lost.
I let the job I consumed myself with become my identity and when it was over I set on a journey to find me. The real me. My best version.
Follow along and watch me share my truth as I set out to create my own personal journey in this life by showing others they can do the same!

“Fuck them… I asked first.” 😂😂😂
That was perfect.
Yeah. That was off the fckin hook 😂😂
Fuck that chain of command
Spoken like a true Marine/ Marsoc operator
That's straight up wisdom from the wise
Closed mouths don’t get fed.
In the Marines my buddy and I used to say, "If you want to eat, you gotta open your mouth."
Rahh
And sometimes that big mouth gets your ass in hot water.
It's a double edged sword.
Yeah they do. They just don’t think they’re better than everyone else.
Lots of people ain't asking for handouts. This must be an American saying
My southern wife says that.
As an Air Force Veteran,only a Marine would have the balls to do that.Much respect.Semper Fi!!

Cody’s the man good dude always there to talk and help his friends out
To be fair, just saying "Fuck y'all, I asked first" is a pretty Marine thing to do and probably worthy of a promotion.
Hmm. You will seldom find as much brotherhood as you will in the Marine corps.
So you acknowledge that the Marines have no discipline what's so ever.
@@deantorres760 they are so disciplined that it cancels out

Ask again and ask differently
@@TenaciousTentacruel Tried that, Still said no because im not muscular and above average in looks.

No + Commandant coin you mean. lol
During my early career I was at ft polk for JRTC and was looking for my platoon after returning from an errand.
I walked into the wrong company area and their Top calls me out and asks who I am and what Im doing in his company area.
I replied Im looking for my men , to which he responded that I was a PFC (E3) and had no men.
I got offended by that and stared into his eyes and replied, In this man's Army I am my brother's keeper and every infantryman is my brother so therefore I have men I am responsible for and I take that duty very seriously. Hoo-ah.
He paused while reconsidering me and told me that he would remember me and that we need more Soldiers whom think like that.
He shook my hand then politely told me get out of his area and get back to my men.
That was in the 90s.
Key word JROTC
@@reactorov719he said JRTC* not JROTC. If you knew anything about Army training rotations, JRTC is the Joint Readiness Training Center at Ft Polk, LA.
Units train there as part of qualifying/ certification for deployment. Very different from JROTC. 🤦🏻♂️
@@reactorov719attention to detail was never your strong suit was it
You should have been promoted. Thank you for your service. My late father was a Marine in WW II.
The Marines were not as tough during WWII compared to today

Exactly what I was thinking
My Sgt always said, "They can't eat you, all they can do is say no."
yeah they can say no and if u gotta work with them all after you will forever be regarded as a dick regardless of the answer
@@sabinekatsavrias4422 I never thought someone telling me "no" made them a dick and I was never treated badly for asking.
@@jeffh6650 khmm ok but ive said no to plenty of pple and thought they where a dick for asking ... we not all the same, situations vary on a grand scale and also not everyone who thinks your a dick is gonna tell u so, most wont.
@@sabinekatsavrias4422 where there are the thin skinned who can't handle questions nor the word "No." That's never been me, maybe that's why I was liked and got along.
When I was young boy dad always said ask questions they can't kill you and eat u they can just say no i was like 6 when he started telling me that
I've been watching your interviews non stop for the last week. You're truly an inspiration. I was never in the service but both my gradfathers both did 20 plus years in the marine corps. I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing yourself on social media. You're one badass dude
Cody, I love your message! I've followed your story. ❤
Thank you
I was involuntary selected to be an Army recruiter, during a ball I told the CSM I deserved his coin. There was alcohol involved on all sides I got my ass rip up and down. Next day during a meeting with everyone in the room, CSM said no one ever had the balls to directly ask for his coin in his career. He called me up and gave me his coin I was a hated man that day by my fellow NCO's. I did not care.
Love it!😋

This dude wasn't just "in Afghanistan" Absolute warrior right here.
Smart Veterans are telling young Americans to STOP volunteering to become enforcers for the insane policies of what is, BY DEFINITION, an inherently Coercive, inefficient, & wasteful MONOPOLIST of ultimate decisionmaking and violence - the US Federal Government...
Looks like he was on tour in Skid Row using that imported Afghan heroin.
LMFAO, sure. How do you know?
@@demsareunamerican6800he has receipts sniper,recon,Marsoc. Footage , pics etc. 6 hr interview on the shawn Ryan show.
@@demsareunamerican6800 what James said
I learned early on in my Marine Corps career that if you don’t ask questions, don’t act boldly, and are afraid of getting clapped back that you won’t get too far. Good leaders appreciate that, and recognize it.
Yes. Same in my day, back when it was still the REAL Marine Corps, who did not advertise rainbow bullets & 'woke' BullSchitt.
Key word tho... 'GOOD' Leaders.
Which, we are now in dire need of.
Nothing works for an 0141 the scourge of every grunt including FNG’s. I am tall I probably would have died on patrol or arty position. All my friends who told me to enlist in the Corps came back zombies especially a f navy forward observer. I worked for the VA in the 70’s saw a lot sad cases from every war including Medal of Honor recipients back to Korea. Very very crazy stuff. . I had a Medal Of Honor recipient roommate for awhile. He was very aggressive. Jumped on a grenade and lived. His accounts rang so true.
This is true outside the military as well. You have to back it up with hard work, good decisions, and confidence, like this guy, else you will be a loudmouth clown.
@DeleteTheTalmud there a lot of poseurs telling war stories about combat and if you have served you know they are the wrong age or are non combatants. When I was being discharged a lot of my fellow Marines were running to the PX to buy medals but at least they served. I worked at the VA for 9 years with Medal of Honor recipients guys with bad physical and mental wounds. Eventually they would tell you about combat, how they lost a limb whatever. These stories sounded real like that was how you might of reacted actually coming face to face with the enemy how a guy won the Medal of Honor silver star Purple Heart etc. liars will tell multiple exploits how bad as they were how many times they got shot and lived. Civilians eat it up but real soldiers pity them and move on. The absolutely worst thing you should ask a serviceman is did he kill anyone. Fists might start throwing at that one.
@@Whichwaydidtheygomy childhood best buddy did 2 tours in Iraq and 2 in Afghanistan from 03-05 Iraq and around 13 to 15 in the afghan. His first oh shit im going home in a coffin was in Falluja. He had missed the first attempt at the city due to a medical concern that ended up being nothing but later was told it was a blessing. To which he told me “a blessing would have been ANYONE to have discouraged me from enlisting like a idiot” . one night when we went night fishing and he just began telling what he had kept bottled up for several years. I had only seen him cry once from when we were 10 when he jumped from roof into pool and didn’t quite make the water. But that was crying from physical pain. When he spoke about what he and many others did he wept uncontrollably for what felt like an eternity. He admitted to feeling completely numb, bloodthirsty even justified at the time but much later the things they did came back in vivid detail fueled by viewing footage he never thought existed. He said “we were fucking monsters who had absolutely no right to even step foot in the home and country. But what did we do? We fucking slaughtered and leveled their towns and places of worships. They were Nobel in their efforts for defending their land the best they could given what they were up against. We are going to pay dearly for what we did, in this life or the next”
He didn’t really discuss the things he witnessed and took part in detail but I saw it in his eyes and heard it from his mouth. He never put allowed healing and forgiveness to take hold. We talked after that night only two more times. Both times bumping into each other at 7-11 on our separate ways to work. Last thing he said to me was “don’t be a stranger”
I wish I would have known the future. I wish would have not purposely ignore his last calls to me. That night on the lake was extreamly heavy shocking for a sheltered fool like me and I didn’t want to believe it. After he decided to check out I’ve developed a deep resentment towards those who orchestrated death on so many for their own gain and power. And the vets keep going the route my buddy Butch took. Why ?
I always wonder how life would have turned out for me had I Got Selected… I had an invite back but the Marines told me to go to DI School. My dream was to become a Raider. RIP Marine Raider GySgt Diego Pongo, I’ll never forget that constant smile. Happy Veterans Day yall

Sailor here. On my last day at my first command I was in front of my whole division receiving an award and the entire chain of command was there. They all said “Speech” So I kept it short and sweet. I said and I quote
“Thank you to everyone, it’s almost noon, let’s get these guys the fuck outta here for lunch and don’t come back!”
A division of 140 people went absolutely nuts. Needless to say I was standing At attention outside of my senior chiefs office while everyone else got to leave. It was 100 percent worth it though.
What small a** division is 140 people lol
They were all SEALs so…
Fake
*Respect!*
140 ppl isn't a division, and navy seals aren't in divisions they're in squadrons, and teams 140 ppl aren't even a full company. That's less than half my company it consisted of 350 ppl. This video is also fake. The coin is real, but they story on how he got it tho straight up bullshit. That would have never happened, and he would have gotten the worst smoking of his life if he had done this for real
You deserve it much love thank you for your service I know you hear that all the time but I mean it❤😊

Amen. I received Major General Ord's coin back in '89 for "unconventional behavior". I gave that coin to a civilian who went on to become an 18D in an active A-Team. Helluva good luck charm that.
As a young Army Medic, Specialist(E4), I remember my Squad Leader (SSG/E6) drilled into my head, if I wanted to advance my knowledge & career, to "ask questions." 11 yrs. later, I was wearing one rank above his, Sergeant First Class /E7. Thanks so much SSG H. for caring.🙏❤️🇺🇲

@@Tyler-rw7dtI’ll tell you from experience, I did 6 years in the army and there were around 1 mil. Army when I was in and on average they were better people than the civilians on average that never served in every way.
@@danrichards496Most people haven’t a clue either. I always think it’s funny how some of these people think the Military is filled with useless idiots who were too stupid to do anything else. When the fact of the matter is it’s full of some of the most intelligent hard working people who wanted to do more with their life then work a 9 to 5. I mean I went to over 25 different countries and had the time of my life for the most part. My Marines are my family members. I learned skills I’ve carried on still to this day and ethics like no other. Usually it’s the ones who “were gonna join”, failed criminal background or are just plain ignorant and or arrogant who say stupid stuff like this.
@@AutonomousVII same. I knew enlisted men so smart that I asked, “why the hell did you join the military?”. Some people can’t fathom why, they also can’t fathom what it would be like if it weren’t for those types of men along with an infinite number of other things so they just talk shit, spouting whatever comes to their simple little minds.

Was going the promotion board in Korea when the dude before me was going in for his E-6. Walked in and reported, after he was told to sit down the CSM asked him to tell the board about himself. Dude looked dead at the CSM and said "sergeant major I just wanted to tell you that your sitting in my seat". CSM said "I fucking love it, I recommend you for promotion".

It’s better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war; Lions will be Lions; ALWAYS!
Cool quote, makes no sense for the context of this marines story, truth is we won’t really know who is a true warrior and BMF until we have an actual war where we don’t always have superior man, material/supplies, and air power, a couple examples being of course ww2 and Korea, or vietnam in a way. This is not an insult it’s just the cold hard truth, honestly I get kind of sick and cringe even when I hear so many of my brothers online or on tv talk about how they have PTSD, and even all the folks saying thank you for protecting my freedom when in reality we have done absolutely nothing even close to worthy of that title considering what my brothers who came before me did in the trenches or on the beaches in their finest hour, those are warriors forged in the crucible of bravery itself, now how bad you reckon their ptsd was, they probably didn’t come home talking it up about hoorahh this and story about this to get a salute at the grocery store either

Yes!! When I was a a young Marine Corporal in Okinawa, our BN CO had an NCO town hall and similarly asked if anyone had any questions.

He said “Yes,” a policy changed, and everyone went nuts.
Fast forward a couple years ahead when I got an early release approved by a General as a Sergeant so I could start school just shy of 5 years on Active Duty… my Marines put this quote on my plaque, which I had said often “Impossible is a word found only in the dictionary of fools. - Unknown” I taught them this idea as best I could… there are plenty of people who will tell you “No,” don’t be one of them.

If your not a Marine, I don’t know if people fully understand the balls that took. I got pinned by a 2 star when I picked up Corporal meritoriously.

They are the most noble and selfless people I know!
Stop generalizing...what about the ones that come back strung out and bat shit crazy.
@samuelbradley8062
... but that statement is generalizing and the ones that come back like that are typically the ones that saved somebody's ass. You can't send just anyone to do what Marines are typically taxed with. The history reveals they were often asked to do what only a crazy person would do, so not surprised why some come back the way they do. Yes, all are Marines but some in my unit I noticed were just better prepared for the insurmountable stress then others...
As a marine yes we are
@@cretestlloyd4681What was your MOS?
Good for you, Marine. You got a good story out of it, and isn't that what we're all really up to?
This man is going places.

Bro I watched your interview on Shawn Ryan's podcast like 10 times bro you said some words that stuck with me and got me making life changing decisions thanks for your service 🫡 brother much love and respect to you
God Bless my friend. People like me are thankful for you.
Hey bro, I want to thank you for serving our country. You’re a standup guy. Also seeing you on the Shawn Ryan Show was awesome.
Thank you for your service. I have a cousin who’s a marine that served in desert storm. He has bad ptsd but he’s still a badass in my book!
Thankful for his service!!! Maybe ask him if he’d ever consider psychedelics? They have great benefits for people with PTSD. Just a thought. I’m always grateful for our military and the people & families that have served.
@@paulmurphy2846 Thank you!!!
@@NikiLivi5 Thank us by doing what the Vets in my family did - discourage the youth of this country from volunteering to become enforcers for the insane policies of the Kleptocrats that control what is an inherently inefficient, wastful, & coercive monopolist of ultimate decisionmaking and violence - the US FedGov... Governments are responsible for the vast majority of death & destruction throughout history...The USA is especially aggressive - stop encouraging their horrible ideas & stop helping them execute their policies that create BLOWBACK like 9/11...
Cody, so true.
Great advice.
One of the greatest story I've ever heard
