hello world thanks for watching this
video in advance I just included what I
found on YouTube of Armijo instructors
versus marine drill instructors kind of
speaks for itself right I mean
everything you see on YouTube army drill
instructors are kind of like talk to you
like a stern father like they're really
upset with you right now if you don't
push
I'm gonna be really mad and your drill
instructors are like Psychopaths man
they do not want to be drill instructors
half of them just they just get either
recruiting or drill instructors and then
half of them don't even want to be drill
instructors and they hate their life and
they hate you a lot more so yes being
with that being that said I wanted to
make a build video about me being older
and during the Marine Corps to try and
provide some insight on others who would
like to do the same thing so being older
joining really not too much of a
difference I wish I had done it when I
was younger I think it would have
benefited me more I've made a lot of
really good friends I'm not really I've
been really mature for my age since a
very young age I know it might sound
like I'm being really cocky but that's
true
and so this is
I just had a lot to deal with from a
very young age and but you know I have
to say being all mature and whatever
these kids these 18 19 year old guys man
some of the most ambitious mature
respectable strong mentally strong
morally strong ethically strong
individuals I've ever met and I'm very
proud to call them my friends I feel
privileged to even be able to have been
their friend now right now I'm in C
school which means we're all gonna go
our separate ways pretty soon but it's
just a story of the Marine Corps you go
to boot camp MCT and your schools and
you you meet people and they they leave
that's just the way it is but uh you
just have to enjoy your time there
you know boot camp was rough but looking
back on it it's probably one of my
favorite memories in my whole life
same with MCT that was pretty tough but
awesome memories and so I just kind of
want to open up the floor to any
questions anyone might have if you you
know 25 26 27 you wanna join the Marines
if you have any questions or you want to
just talk like put a comment down or
reply with the video of your own
I'd love to like share any insight you
know I will say that there are quite a
few but not too many I'd say maybe like
3 or 4 percent of the people that I know
that are Marines are above like 25 so I
mean that's like literally like maybe
like 5 out of every hundred maybe even
less than that but that comes out to
like a fair and a fair amount of us and
like I said like I make really good
friends with a lot of younger guys and
you know they can be really obnoxious
and hard-headed but some of the funniest
kids you'll ever meet I mean they're
they're young they're full of life and
it's contagious so
so far I'm loving it I was really
nervous before leaving boot camp I
wasn't sure if it was the right decision
for me or not
he's very anxious and you know I didn't
feel great about leaving for boot camp
to be honest I I was really excited and
everyone was proud of me but deep down I
was like man I hope this is gonna pay
off you know it's that risk versus
reward and so again this is I would I
would have appreciated someone to talk
to
he was in that situation so that's I'm
trying to be that person for somebody
else at least one person that'd be great
but my job is a VA tion ordinance I load
I'm going to school right now to load
ordinance being missiles rockets machine
guns shaft and flare on to Cobra
helicopters very exciting my contract
was sixty-five hundred and seventy one
hundred what was it a VA ssin support
and airfield services so crash Fire
Rescue Zhan that list and then the two
fields of aviation ordnance are on that
list
there's aviation ordnance Tech and
aviation ordnance like specialist and
that's basically just all level and eye
level which you can get either of those
I've done in Pensacola so
yeah you know there's a lot that goes
into being older in the in the military
you know I think that being older kinda
gave me an extra gear to push on and
survive mentally and actually prosper in
bootcamp you know I love to boot camp I
was sick was the time I I was sick every
single day and even after boot camp I
was sick because I personally have a
crappy immune system but I mean almost
everybody was sick and you know the
whole time so that's one thing that you
know it's gonna kind of suck but I'm
telling you man boot camp if you think
would be cool and you feel in your heart
like man just gives you kind of like
amped up you know motivation doesn't
last mind you so don't make a decision
based on pure motivation but man
thinking about it even a little bit gets
you excited and you feel it in your
heart man I'm telling you just do it
it's been worth every day I mean granted
thousands of miles away from the girl I
love from the people I love my family
but at the same time I always told
myself I wanted to come and live in
California and the Marine Corps before I
even joined and uh that's where I am
right now so you know what they're
paying my bill I just get paid to be a
Marine and they they give you this
awesome room but simps worked out in
awesome food to eat you can eat as much
as you want like for breakfast I had a
chicken breast bacon eggs yogurt beans
potatoes and Gatorade you know come on
man
doesn't get any better than that
so yeah if you have any questions I'm
not gonna make this try a video drag on
forever but if somebody watch this thing
a vet questions maybe your civilian you
know if you have questions you're
curious about something just ask trying
to not make this video dragging on
forever so thank you very much for
watching and do Rob Marine Corps and I
didn't mean to disrespect the US Army
but certainly the way one is trained is
the way one behaves right train hard win
big right alright hoorah take care of
folks and so hope you like the workout
video leave some feedback leave
questions or you know to the two people
that will probably watch this thank you
even for just getting this far if you
even did all right bye
