Hey Marine That Took Balls

- 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!!

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.

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!😋
Dude you could not be more right! My mom always told me, "if you don't ask, you're just saying no to yourself". 🤘
As a veteran myself? I fucks with ya Cody Alford
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…
*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
@@williamgordon-ws4emsou.ds like so.eones a little jealous 😂
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 ?
He didn't toss him a coin, he tossed him a 24 pack of crayolas to snack on so he wouldnt talk anymore. 😂

@@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.
Your episode on the shawn Ryan podcast was great. Thank you for your service. This country is here because of bad ass dudes like yourself. I'm raising my kids to teach them to never take that for granted.
I’ve always live by “the answers always no unless you ask”. Everytime i say it to people they give me that “holy crap that makes sense” look.
My mom joined the Marines during WW2. Not sure when she became president but she was the president of the woman's Marines association of the desert southwest till the day she passed away 15 years ago. Thanks for your service.

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".

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.

"He's my number one from now on, Sergeant Major. "
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. I said “Sir, the stated reason for field day inspections is to assess the living conditions of the Marines. Can we keep our regular bedding on for field day inspections?”
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.

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

This right here man. I take this attitude with so many things. Particularly when it comes to asking for raises. I'll ask every 4-6 months for a raise. Even if they say no then as you keep asking they will begin to think that they can't keep saying no or they'll lose you to another business.

@@michaelcarton3299 If you work for a company that gives you raises until they can't afford you, it's not a good company to work for long term. If they can't afford it, they'll just tell you no.
That was a great story! Thank you for your service, Marine!
🙋🇺🇲
One of the greatest story I've ever heard
Thank you for your service Marine
True Marine thanks for the courage.
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...
Love this. Thank you for your service sir
you just gave me motivation
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.
Good for you, Marine. You got a good story out of it, and isn't that what we're all really up to?
Thank you for your service sir 😊
You absolutely right you’re never known unless you ask I hope you got the promotion to Gunnery Sergeant marine and thank you for your service and a job well done 😊
Thank you for your service. Stay strong.
I wish I could like this more than once 😂
