Jim is one of the few Americans you interviewed, and I admire watching your channel. He is eloquent, professional, well-mannered, hard-working, generous person. Hope he can stay in PH and build his charity and other projects to help employed more Filipinos.
Back at ya , " Mtn Mel " here, Ret. USN PR1- PJ SERE/ JEST ( P.I. ) in W. Colo. That AF Sgt. will love the Philippines ! Great people. I first went there in 1962 on USS RANGER . Returned many times . In 1968, I attended the Navy jungle school . Learning from the Negrito Trooper / Guides- saved Mt bacon in VN ! Later I had 3 yrs duty at JEST 1975 - 78. I Ret. in 1982 and have returned many times to the visit my Trooper friends mtn village---- and still considering on moving there - for a " Wnter Hideout " , plus teaching survival skills.
Good luck! Got lots of great memories of Subic's jungles of the monkeys and flying foxes. The Negritos income from Jest took a hammering due to Covid I hope you can help them get back on their feet.
interesting military time. contracting is also a great way to get financially ahead. it helped me out of a tough financial situation, completely rebuilt my life
Luckily I don't hear barking dogs where I live but we have a rooster barn right next to us but Roosters don't bother Me much.....Not even when I was just here visiting- I wake up at 6-7am anyway...lol
Thanks Mike. Shortly after I returned from my visit, I made the decision to retire and make the move. Getting settled in now, since the end of February. Continuing to look for the right place to settle long term, but feeling incredibly happy about my move.
One big problem in our schools, they do not teach thier students to open thier eyes that we have no MINES OF OIL, only education is thier way to scape poverty
He is right about helping the kids. As a kid in the nineties i was a recipient of Us aids skimmed milk,powdered yellow corn and oats. And in 2012 was given a rare opportunity to volunteer on a US grant in our locality to alleviate poverty I was 29 and I still am a volunteer today. I couldn't be more grateful for every generosity extended in our doorstep that inspires us to give no matter how little did we have. I wish him the best for his charity plans.
And I would like to add through the program I realised our poverty here is not from the lack of opportunity but it is in our culture and attitude that makes us poor.
This kind of man I wanna meet, very interesting. Thank you for choosing my country for your future plan foundation. Helping people in need is really fulfilling. God bless you, Sir Jim.
Mark I found out that because I retired from the Navy my VA will contact the VA in the Philippines and I will receive my med's from them and be treated if something requires it. Let the retired vet's know that:)
I pray God protects your guest’s dream of having an orphanage in the Philippines. I declare and decree what God has put in his heart will come to pass. No weapon formed against him and his family and everything important to him shall prosper in Jesus name. I thank God for his long life, supernatural protection and favor in the eyes of men and women. Amen.❤
EXCELLENT , , Thank You & the USAF SERE Sgt. ! I can tell HE is " RIGHT ON " as for skills ( fire making , Yes. ) Amen for the AF school is #1 at Fairchild Base . " Bravo Zulu " to them all ! I am a Ret .( 59- 82 ) USN Para- Rigger / Parachutist/ SERE / JEST Inst. I have been in W. Colo. since 1987 offering , sharing, still learning emer life saving skills at my tipi camp. Sad about Navy SERE , it is NOT an actual NEC / MOS job rating like in AF . ( Nor was the SEAL job until 2006 ! ) I volunteered for 12 yrs SERE, 3 yrs. JEST ( P.I. jungle ). Great duty ! I will hold the record as USN SERE 9505 job forever. Meanwhile, at age 80 , I have continued to gain skills ---- from the Arctic to the Amazon . I believe in " Hands On Application ", offering knowledge to ages 8 to 80+. W. Colorado is beautiful, I came here in 1987 - and fell in love with Unaweep Canyon , 7,000 ft - only " wind gap " canyon in the World. I stay mobile, even flying my powered para- glider, Ha. I could go on -& on ! In parting , Today's SurvIval Tip is - Carry a 12"x 12 " folded sm.square of wax paper in your wallet = a PERFECT w-p fire aid ! Note - Presently making fire 30 ways without matches ! Just " Learning To Return " with wonderful Mother Knowledge. Sincerely, " Mtn Mel & Molly Blue " ( Deweese).
I'd like to connect with Jim to discuss opportunities with his drip irrigation collaborations. I work with a multi-national corporate firm's crop science division and do work with farmers in the Philippines.
Mark. I am in the Philippines for the next five weeks. I was wondering how to contact you? As, I might be an interesting candidate for one of your interviews if I make it to your area.
Great set of skills.. loves the country side. Bet this guy would do great out in the province of NE Luzon. Near Infanta (coastline) Mountains and beaches. Good interview Only caution would be when he does want to give back, might want to be very careful who\how to do so.
@PH Expat Prepper. I’m here now and will proceed with caution, ensuring I do things within the local regulations. I’m making a trip to an island off the Luzon east coast in a couple weeks.
My neighbor lived in Saudi Arabia for 25 years and didn't pay any income tax and when he came back to the US to retire his wife divorced him and took him for everything he had. Since he never paid tax he never paid into social security so now he's trying to survive on bologna sandwiches and $800 a month social security.
That's brutal. I think a common takeaway from all these interviews is don't get married and if you do have a rock solid prenup (which unfortunately don't exist).
Im glad that all these military guys did all that torturous training that I never had to do. I'm proud that I do less in one lifetime than these guys do in one day. The whole idea that adversity and discipline and military training makes you stronger and a better or superior person is not necessarily true in my mind. A lot of military guys I've known end up alcoholics and have difficulty in relationships.
I am planning to move to Asia and have never been anywhere there is the Philippines the best if you don't need a wife I am thinking da nang Vietnam or the Philippines
if want to study another language then you can go anywhere in asia ..... but if you don't care about learning another language fluently then philippines is your safe bet .....
@@johnnier.o.d4746 that's what I was thinking I am from the US and speak Spanish and have lived in Latin America for 15 years and in all honesty speaking the language devalued my experience because people want to practice their English and if you don't help them they have nothing for you so I am currently living in playa Del Carmen Mexico and don't speak Spanish to people unless I have too and my experience with this is much better so the language thing doesn't matter but I am still considering the Philippines as a first place thanks for responding keep doing your best
@@handsomebwonderboy9178 well,if you speak spanish fluently then there's a city in the philippines they called zamboanga city that speaks 70% spanish,you can probably speaks the local with your spanish .... i heard it's 70% spanish & the other 30% are english & local language ...... so when you hear them speak,it's spanish mixed with english & local language,i think that's how it is .....
@@johnnier.o.d4746 thanks I heard about that place I still have time to decide this mite sound bad but I am not moving to the Philippines to be around a bunch of people from the united States so I need to choose a place wisely I just need a safe place as a headquarters to begin my new adventure because after 15 years in Latin America their is no adventure and Asia is all new thanks again for responding keep doing your best
@@6foot596 that's great advice thanks for responding I have been out of the united States for 15 years and don't have plans on returning so I am going to have a headquarters somewhere in Asia where I can jump around to find somewhere interesting to maybe move to because once your in Asia it's much easier to move around I am in playa Del Carmen Mexico right now and its a nice beach town but I am not a beach guy I like the idea of DA nang because of its proximity to Asia and I like the look of the apartment's there I think Latin America is played out for me I find myself just making my rounds and spending time at home and apartments are expensive here thats another reason I am considering Vietnam nice safe apartment's that are cheap I have plenty of time to find a retirement place I just have to explore Asia before deciding thanks again and keep doing your best

Mel, I'd love to connect next time I visit family there. I grew up about an hour from GJ.
Is your military life and adventures all you guys ever talk or boast about?
I'd like to connect with Jim to discuss opportunities with his drip irrigation collaborations. I work with a multi-national corporate firm's crop science division and do work with farmers in the Philippines.
@Arinze Eze let's connect. Pm Mark on messenger and he can complete the connection
Arinze I’m here now. Let’s connect on messenger.
Good interview. Enjoyed!
Great interview
Seems like a top quality guy. Thanks for the video.
Sounded like the 3 years i lived in Saudi working for Lockheed/Martin in Jeddah on the C-130 contract

Great set of skills.. loves the country side. Bet this guy would do great out in the province of NE Luzon. Near Infanta (coastline) Mountains and beaches. Good interview Only caution would be when he does want to give back, might want to be very careful who\how to do so.

@@AHODChief Glad you got over here.. enjoy. Luzon is a great island (huge).. and living out in the province like I do, the pace is nice and easy.
Story about Philippines starts at 12:43.
My fiancé was in USAF sometime in 1981-1985.
He refused going to Saudi😂
My neighbor lived in Saudi Arabia for 25 years and didn't pay any income tax and when he came back to the US to retire his wife divorced him and took him for everything he had. Since he never paid tax he never paid into social security so now he's trying to survive on bologna sandwiches and $800 a month social security.
That's brutal. I think a common takeaway from all these interviews is don't get married and if you do have a rock solid prenup (which unfortunately don't exist).
Since I worked for a US company most of my time there, I did pay into our Social security system.
@@mcluvin65 There is a set exempt amount on Federal Income Taxes, under the 'foreign earned income exclusion'
