Today we have my best friend inthe whole wide world, my marine

Welcome to the pod no gen z genz dude.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
I've been fucking this up all day, gen gen x,
explain them to me please, gen xwould be, like my parents, our
parents.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Yeah, I saw like 40s, 50s I just looked this up of
when uh millennials ended andgen z started.
Yeah, dude, I didn't evenrealize that gen z is like 1996,
good god I did not know.
Yeah, it's I think it.
I think gen z started in 97 andmillennials ended in 96 yeah, I
was like that sounds I thoughtit was like at the turn of the
century yeah, because I'm rightat the tail end of the

(00:48):
millennials.
Yeah, I was thinking that I waslike the beginning of the gen
z's, like my people are the oneswho fucked the world up, but
like they were dicking the doglike five years before I was
born yeah, not my fault.

Speaker 4 (00:57):
Isn't gen z like super huge too?
Doesn't it go to like 2010 orsomething?
Yeah, it is.
Yeah, it's a huge.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Well, I guess they all are they're all big
generations, because I mean, Iknow a lot of like older
millennials that I'm likethere's no, you're not a
millennial oh yeah, you don'teven have social media yeah, um,
hey, bill, you're the only genz marine that I know for sure,
but maybe the only gen z personI know in the military yeah,

(01:22):
there's a pretty good chance, Ijust not many.
I read a statistic that had thatsaid only 12 percent of
eligible gen z is even willingto be in the military.
Yeah, when you were in service,how big was the spread between
people that were similar age toyou to older people?

Speaker 4 (01:45):
It was actually pretty close.
Really.
There's easily hundreds ofpeople that are 18 also joining
at the same time that I was.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
I don't think a lot of old heads really go in, I
suppose.
Yeah, when you're joining,let's say at what do they call
that the RSS?
No, what's?

Speaker 1 (02:04):
the thing you do.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
They call that no when you're, when you're like,
what's the thing you got to gothrough before you go into the
military?

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Oh, like RJ, like training camp, like what's the
training camp?
What all the nerd kids do?

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Oh, okay, we're not talking about ROTC kids, I would
assume.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
We're not talking about stinky in boot camp.
Mostly is younger.
Oh, everybody, yeah, um, okay,but there is always a few
stragglers because you can joinall the way up till I want to
say you're 27, yeah, so I missedit.
Yeah, you missed all.
I missed it.
But I want to say there will belike, so, like the boot camp
class, like 100 people orwhatever, for like your platoon,
how many people make it through?
Probably 80, I mean 70somewhere around there.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
I mean, it's not that fucking cut throat, is it like?

Speaker 4 (02:46):
it's not like people are dropping like flies no, it's
just basically getting yelledat spitting your face, and
that's do you.
Do you weed out the week earlylike do you do people?
leave pretty quickly and thennot many people leave once you
get into the shits well, there'sdifferent type people, I guess,
like there's people that getinjured, like say say, if you
break your ankle and you have towait six months, it's either
you wait six months in boot campyou can't leave, or else you

(03:08):
have to restart and you could behalfway through it break your
ankle and you gotta wait fivemonths just sitting while you're
there, oh yeah, and you'restill just getting treated like
you when you're done and thenstart at week five when you're,
when you're actually in bootcamp?

Speaker 2 (03:21):
what are you doing when you're not like doing the
obstacle course before we aretrying not to get?

Speaker 3 (03:26):
noticed before we dive into that, as hard is like
like say you start with 100, sayyou end with 75.
Is that more like self-policedby the other, like boot camp
kids or is it like like you'regetting bullied out of here?

Speaker 2 (03:38):
yeah?

Speaker 3 (03:39):
that's how I feel, like when I went to line school,
dude our teacher, maybe you arenot gonna compare, to compare
line school to boot camp.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Absolutely you are.
Oh my God, what do you mean?
You are not running throughobstacle courses and shit.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
That's literally all it is.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
That's what line school is.
You guys are fucking goingthrough tires and shit.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
You climb fucking 60 poles in a day and tell me
you're not absolutely shot atthe end of it.
That's literally what it is.
That's what the first, thefirst two weeks of it is.
Literally that's all it is isonly physical exercise.
Drop down and tie 20 wires forme all.
Right before dumbfuckinterrupted me, dude, I'm.
I was saying it was way moreself-policed by the kids that
were there that were like thisguy sucks at what he's doing,

(04:18):
like we like not not bullied himout, but like very much,
there's outcasts immediatelypicking on the private piles
totally.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
There's definitely like outcasts, but it's more
like it is all mental.
It's barely physical at all,like, yeah, there's a couple
physical tests or whatever, butit is all mental.
You're just getting fuckingscreamed at, you're trying to be
a fucking ghost in the corner.
You just the less you arenoticed, the significantly
better time you're gonna havewell, it's, yeah, it's all
psychological.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
They're trying to break you.
They want to make you a machine.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
Well, like the first day you're there, you get thrown
into these fucking like bedsand then you don't sleep that
first night and it just kind ofsets the the tempo and then
you're just fucked do.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
They is you see in movies and whatnot like they'll
wake you up at random times.
Be like all right everyone makeyour bed.
Well, no that that does happenthat that actually sucks that
they'll just randomly come inthere, turn on the lights and,
like everyone, let's go.
Oh yeah, what are you?
What are you doing when you'renot like like training or
whatever like?
Do you have jobs?
Are you like cleaning?
Are you what are you in bootcamp?

Speaker 4 (05:16):
yeah, yeah, so you're just cleaning you're.
You are the drill sergeant'sbitch basically.
You're doing whatever the fuckthey don't want to do.
You're cleaning.
You're fucking Doing laundry.
All laundry you got to do kindof on your own time, okay, and
you got to do it in the middleof the night because that's the
only time you got.
You're just basically theirbitch.

(05:37):
You're going to be scrubbingshowers.
You're going to be fuckingdoing whatever the fuck they
want.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
It sucks gonna be fucking doing whatever the fuck
they want.
It sucks.
It does sound like it sucks,honestly.
One thing that that I wasthinking about before leading
into this episode is are you,can you walk us through the
night before, because I'm sureyou were you with your family
when you got sent off to bootcamp?

Speaker 4 (05:59):
yeah.
So how it worked for me is Ihad to drive up to well, I
didn't drive.
My parents dropped me off.
I went to Duluth RSS and myparents drove me up there.
Then you meet up with therecruiter and then they drive
you down to Minneapolis, which Iwas like.
Why the fuck do I have to go upto Duluth?
This sucks.
I have to wait an extra threehours to go.
This is just fuck this.

(06:25):
And then you go down, you go toDuluth or, uh, minneapolis, and
then you got to do all yourswearing in shit like put your
hand on the book and yeah, andthen you got like 30 18 year
olds sitting there with theirhand up fucking, just swearing
something that hey, I'm gonna dothis for four years, this is
gonna suck.
So and then after that you gotake, you say goodbye to your
parents and then you go take aflight to wherever you're going
to boot camp.
So the Navy goes somewhere.

(06:47):
I went to San Diego.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
So you already knew I want to do the Marines.
Yeah, you get pre-picked andsent to different boot camps
based on where you want toenlist.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
Yeah, it's only wherever you enlist at, you
don't enlist in the military,and then they're like you're
going to be a Marine.
See, I thought part of it wasthat you can't choose unless you
qualify.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
They look at Cody and they're like ah, navy Coast
Guard.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
I thought it was like some sort of sorting hat from
Harry Potter you put your nameon a piece of paper and it tells
you where you're going.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
No, it's like physical qualifications.
You've got to take the ASVABand it's wherever you can get in
.
That's where you choose.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Yeah, okay, okay, that makes sense.
So there is some sort ofassorting.
I know you want to be a Marine,but listen, dude you're kind of
dumb as a box of rocks.
We're going to put you, maybesomewhere else.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
So I guess, to kind of round to my question, the
your last night of like not atat boot camp, like your last
night at home, when you'relaying there knowing you're
going to wake up and your wholelife is going to change from the
next moment on.
Like what were you thinkingthat last night?
Like holy fuck dude, this isgoing to be crazy.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
Dude, honestly it's going to sound a little odd, but
it was like one of my firsttimes in a hotel, because you
have to sleep in a hotel, thenthey fly you to wherever I was
like, oh dude, this is fuckingsick.
Can I order room service?

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Like I wasn't even thinking of it at all.

Speaker 4 (08:15):
It was like the last thought on my mind.
And then you just show up andit's like, oh, dude, dude, what
the fuck am I doing?
This sucks.
And we had two buddies gobefore me and like, well, I
can't fucking leave because I'mgonna look like a pussy.
Yeah, I, I have to stick thisout like I really don't want to
do this.
This sucks.
And then I just kind of stuckit out no, here we are.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Yeah, that is nice that you had two close friends
enlist at the same time.
So it's like I'm not gonna bethe fucking one that backs?

Speaker 2 (08:42):
were they also going for marines?

Speaker 3 (08:43):
yep.
That's got to be the heaviestweight of the whole thing.
It's like I don't want to quitbecause I don't want to be a
bitch.
It has nothing to do with.
Are you actually able to do it?
It's just like I don't want tolook like a pussy.
I get that this sucks, but I'ma fucking-.
I can't be that person for himbefore he went, just fucking

(09:05):
getting ready for it.
If he'd have came home, cameback two weeks later, he sure as
shit wouldn't be on the podcastright now.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
We never talk to this loser again I'd be sitting
there just like a hermit in myroom, just fucking scared uh
dude, I couldn't imagine thatfeeling so you get through basic
and everything went pretty wellfor you, I'd assume and and you
, you mentioned this test youhave to take before you actually
are in basic.
That kind of helps sort whereyou're going to be, and your

(09:28):
story of you taking your test isone of my favorites and I would
just love to hear it on the podbecause it just cracks me up
every time.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
So before you go you have to take an ASVAB, if you
guys know what that is, and it'sjust basically a test if you're
like a retard or not.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
It is just common sense.
Is it like the ACT or like?
What kind of questions are onit?

Speaker 4 (09:53):
Simpler, it's like dude.
It's been six years since I'vetaken it, so it's been a little
bit here.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Like basic math.
It is basic math Like.
Jerry has 20 watermelons, kennyhas four.
How many watermelons?

Speaker 4 (10:06):
do they have type of questions yes, okay.
And then it's like just commonsense stuff, um.
And then there's a couple likeoddballs in there but, um,
basically, if you get above likean 87, which the scores are
percentile wise, there's notlike an actual score.
So if you got like an 87 andhigher, you can basically do
whatever you want.
And for the infantry you needto get like a 35, 38, something,

(10:29):
something low.
You can be that brick wall andprobably make it, you know.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
You could be bean boy , oh 100% 100% and I got a 93.

Speaker 4 (10:40):
Yeah, I think it was 93.
It was 92.
Low 90s, you know.
So I was like, oh well, I cando whatever the fuck I want.
Recruiter comes to the house,he's sitting here like trying to
talk me into jobs my parentsaround the table.
I'm sitting there and he's like, yeah, you could go fucking,
you could do intel.
You get like a super secretsecurity clearance.
Go do whatever you want.
You know like basicallyanything in this book free game.

(11:03):
I was like I mean, I kind ofwant to.
If something happens, I thinkit'd be kind of cool to kick
doors.
You know like this would becool.
So I went infantry andbasically just surrounded by all
the fellas, great time.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Just the bros of the bros, ready to go into it.

Speaker 4 (11:20):
Basically, the dumbest job you can choose is
what I chose.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
That's a power move coming in being the 93 guy and
hanging out with the 38 guys ohit's beautiful, you're just.
You're way smarter than all ofthem the whole time not smarter,
like so.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
I scored better on a test, yes, but the fellas I
don't know.
Like they might not be booksmart, but fuck are they street
smart like they know whatthey're doing?

Speaker 1 (11:40):
so I'll give them that you know well and just to
beat and just to be like growingup in Pine City, such a small
town, and now you're around allthese different people.
That have had different walksof life.
You know it's similar to goingto college, just way more
fucking badass.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
Hold on, you are not going to compare college to the
fucking military right now.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Dude, I had to give the military its credit.

Speaker 4 (12:10):
It's kind of weird because when you go you're like
the minority at least I was.
I was like complete minority.
Over half of like that bootcamp they spoke spanish, like
spanish.
I.
I'm just sitting there likedude, I don't know what the fuck
they're saying.
It's like it's dark.
They were all trying to go tobed.
They're sitting there speakingspanish, just loud as fuck in
the corner.
I'm like dude, I don't knowwhat the fuck.
Are they talking shit orsomething like what is going on
here.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
You know, did there?
Was there ever any frictionbetween the people in boot camp
like are is there ever any guys?
Like yeah getting into fightsin the bunkhouse or anything
like that yeah, but it generallyit it are.

Speaker 4 (12:33):
It always waits till like lights go out or else if it
somehow comes to the light ofday while like everybody's still
awake.
Oh, those two guys are gettingfucked over by the fucking.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Like the people in charge of us, they're getting
fucked do you guys ever pull anysoap bars in the pillowcases or
anything crazy?

Speaker 2 (12:51):
what is that?

Speaker 1 (12:52):
you ever seen like a?

Speaker 2 (12:53):
metal jacket like beat someone with.

Speaker 4 (12:55):
Yeah, we didn't like I don't think we beat anybody.
Um, we had one guy he was it'slike bunk beds.
There's two bunk beds and thenit's like a fully concrete roof,
um, and it's got like these bigbeams running through it.
And we had one guy like runningaround on the top like jumping
beds and he hit his head on oneof the beams and fell and then
he like cracked open his fuckinghead um did he get sent home?

(13:17):
he.
He got pulled out in anambulance, and then I woke up
and he was there the nextmorning with stitches.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
That's marine quality baby.
That's the type of guy I wantwhy.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Marines?
Why, specifically, marines?
Were you just like, hell yeah,I want to carry 100 pounds on my
back and run through the mud?

Speaker 4 (13:35):
Or was?

Speaker 2 (13:36):
there a deeper calling to it.

Speaker 4 (13:38):
Fuck.
No, this is going to sound dumb.
I was like, well, I guess it's.
I've always been told Icouldn't do it.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
I want to do it.
Oh, yeah, yeah, the chip onyour shoulder route I would
imagine, is a hell of a loteasier to get through it.

Speaker 4 (13:49):
It's like almost the forbidden fruit.
You know, and you see it, andit's like, well, everybody says
don't do it, everybody says it'sdumb there, and then raps yeah
I guess that makes sense to me.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
I would imagine some of those guys that you met, you
probably still have a greatrelationship.
Oh yeah, because you go throughsome of that stuff with these
people that are around you,you're I mean, you're like
family at that point oh 100%call that, was it trauma bonding
?

Speaker 3 (14:17):
yeah, yeah, trauma bonding oh, 100%.

Speaker 4 (14:19):
I'm definitely trauma , trauma, bonded with the fellas
.
You got to think you're livinglike, say, our, our fucking,
like rooms are like the size ofthat living room and you're just
living next to every single oneof your buddies that you see on
the daily and you just, hey, Iwant to drink.
I'm gonna knock on fucking thisguy's door.
You guys just go get hammeredon the catwalk next, you know,

(14:40):
like 10 minutes later, there'slike 12 of you and you're just
sitting there like drinking,having a good time on the
weekend, like it's, it is thecoolest thing, just living next
to all of your best friends forthree and a half years, yeah,
and it's almost like hard toleave.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
It's almost like line school dude I had a buddy that
lived in the fucking apartmentright above mine.
No, I get it, yeah yeah, no, Ilived in the dorms my freshman
year of college, freshman yearof college, and I think that
being with all these people allthe time granted a lot less
trauma going on, I would assume,but just being around people
that are similar to you andgoing through the same thing as

(15:15):
you at the same time, I meanpeople.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
I still talk to regularly.
You guys are all just a bunchof little country bumpkins.
You're just in the big city now.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
Oh my god, it is crazy, though, how close you get
to people when you're in thesame area and you see each other
every single day.
I think what?

Speaker 3 (15:30):
you're trying to say, is it's crazy how close you get
to people when you have to getclose to them?

Speaker 1 (15:33):
yeah, absolutely like .
It's just like high school dude.
How like what?

Speaker 3 (15:36):
percentage of your high school friends.
Do you still talk to you?

Speaker 2 (15:38):
I talk to maybe 20 of them, maybe I mean I talk to
all of my high school friendsregularly every single one.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Cody peaked in high school.
I swear to god he's hanging onto it that's still my core group
of friends.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
It's all my high school.
Maybe he didn't have enough.

Speaker 4 (15:51):
Friends in high school is the biggest problem
maybe you might just not havebranched out enough, I mean, hey
, we went to the same school.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
There's not a lot to pick from.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
No, you know, yeah, and cody like I, he's way, way
older and like we already knewhim as a loser, Like it's like,
oh, there's a guy that thinkshe's cool.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
This is all I could get, so I just stuck with him.
They're dumb enough to stickaround.

Speaker 4 (16:10):
He settled for the bottom of the barrel.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
you know, yeah, I think I have a rare scenario,
though, honestly, I don't thinka lot of people hang out with
their high school friends veryoften.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Dude, I'm in the Because you, my closest friend,
still are my high school friendand this dumb dick motherfucker
literally lives with like fourof his high school friends.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
I didn't say I didn't talk to any of them, I said
percentage dude.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
I didn't say any of them.
Oh, I'm sorry, I just wasn't MrFucking Popular like.

Speaker 4 (16:34):
Mitch.
Sorry, I didn't know.
60 fucking people, Mitch.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
I guess what was the hardest adjustment during boot
camp?
Let me fill you in on a littlesecret here.
We've been drinking theseenergy shots that we've been
talking about, these magic mindlittle energy shots.
There are 55 milligrams ofcaffeine in every shot, but it's
not just caffeine.
You get a lot of good stuff inthis thing Lion's mane, mushroom

(16:57):
, bacopa, cognizant, ashwagandha, l-theanine, turmeric, rhodiola
, ashwagandha, l-theanine,turmeric, rhodiola, cordyceps,
matcha, vitamins B2, b3, b12, cand D.
These things not only get yourhead right, they give you a
sharper mind, lower stress, calmenergy, but also these things

(17:19):
taste freaking amazing.
So really all you do is Ipersonally like to keep these
things cold and in the fridgebut you just take this little
shot every single morning andyou're feeling great.
They also have a new sleepproduct that you take before you
go to bed.
Oh, that's good.

(17:39):
Oh, that's really good, yeah.
So you just take some of thesein the.
You take a shot in the morning,take a shot before you go to
bed of the sleep stuff and, bing, bang, boom.
You can get rid of those shittyenergy drinks.
You can be more awake, you canbe more focused.
I personally feel like thisjust gets my head straight.

(18:00):
I think clear.
I edit better, I perform better, I'm in the gym, I'm pumping
harder.
I think this is just the way togo, and the good news is you
can get a hell of a deal if youhead on over to the bio of this
video.
Click our link for Magic Mindand save yourself a little bit
of dough.
Cheers.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
Dude having to do all my shit.
It was basically moving outLike having to do all my shit
myself.
I guess, like say, if somethinggoes wrong with, like my car,
oh, I can't fucking call myparents anymore.
This sucks, I'm in California,I just got to pay someone to do
it or do it myself.
Um, or just kind of like goingto the field.
That sucked, that's not ideal.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
Did you ever have a day where you woke up and you
just didn't want to do it thatday?
Oh, 100%.
It's just like I don't want tofucking run today.

Speaker 4 (18:49):
Oh, 100%.
So like the day to day, youwake up at six and you're
sitting here in like this greenlittle short shorts, green shirt
, you go run around at like 630,do your morning physical like
PT thing.
I'd every day wake up at six,hung over, hating my life, be
like, yeah, why the fuck am Ihere right now?

(19:10):
Like, realistically, what couldbe the worst possible thing if
I didn't go right now, if Ididn't walk out to go work out?
Never did it, but I alwaysthought about it.
Yeah and it I was close.
I was close a couple times.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Oh, I bet I would imagine everyone has a similar
story to that.
Like no one really probablywants to be there doing that In
the heat of it 6.30 am.

Speaker 4 (19:32):
especially when you're hungover, who the fuck
wants to wake up and go run fivemiles?
Fuck that.
Yeah, that's good, I hated it.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
That's a really good point, not ideal, and so once
you get out of basic, you gointo infantry and you're living
in the barracks.
Are you in a similar spot towhere you were for boot camp,
did you?

Speaker 4 (19:49):
No.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
So did you have to?
Where did you do boot camp, andthen where were you stationed?

Speaker 4 (19:54):
So well, okay.
So I was stationed, like veryclose to where I did boot camp.
So I went boot camp in SanDiego.
I was stationed in CampPendleton, california, which is
right in between San Clementeand Oceanside, so about an hour
and a half north of San Diego.
So it's very close.
Same temperature like sameclimate.
I guess.
But way different, likescenarios, sleeping and all that

(20:16):
wise.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
So at this point you're out of basic and you're
into more of like an everyday,sustainable lifestyle of doing
your four years.
What like being infantry?
What is your day to day lookinglike Once you're you know
you're out of boot camp?
At this point you've moved on.
What's your day to day like?

Speaker 4 (20:36):
It's generally like wake up at like 545, 6-ish.
You go work out in the morning,your squad leader or whoever's
in charge in charge you likethey run you around, do whatever
, like yell at you, and then yougo back to your room, you
shower, go grab food and, uh,you go train.
They go figure out something todo, so you do like combat

(20:57):
lifesaver class or something.
You'll sit there crisscross,crisscross, applesauce fucking
taking notes doing whatever.
Then go running around again.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Then you normally get off work around like 4, 3 or
4-ish Sure, so a little longerthan a 9 to 5, but you get a
little bit of sustainability inyour life at that point.

Speaker 4 (21:17):
Yeah, there's quite a few days where you just sit in
your room and do jack shit.
Yeah, I'm sitting there playingfucking video games all the
time, just sitting in my roomDamn.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
Nothing in your room.
Do jack shit.

Speaker 4 (21:30):
Yeah, I'm sitting there playing fucking video
games all the time just sittingin my room, damn nothing to do.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
So sometimes it's not bad.
Sometimes you would go on likethese hikes in the mountains and
in these state parks and you'dhave to like shit in a bag and
carry it with you.
What, how would, when wouldthose come up and how long would
they normally last?

Speaker 4 (21:39):
you probably do like a big training event.
I want to say like once every,like three, four months, like
big training events, I guess.
So like bridge, what?
Or uh, bridgeport, that was theonly time that you actually had
to like shit in a bag becausethat was a national park, so
they didn't want just a ton offucking.
Yeah, 150 marines shittingfucking in a very particular
area and then you have a ton ofcampers walking around.

(22:01):
Holy fuck, that's a lot of shit, you know so yeah, that makes
sense to me, bro, that is onething.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
Like they, they just changed the law in minnesota.
When you're out on the ice, youcan't just pee on the ice
anymore oh really, it's likeliterally, yeah, like it's a
tick a full ticket you can get adog.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
You can get a ticket if your dog pisses on the ice
huh but how do you clean that?

Speaker 2 (22:25):
I suppose, like what do you?
How do you avoid?

Speaker 1 (22:28):
that.
No, you have to pee in a bottleand then keep it dude what
about the dog?

Speaker 4 (22:34):
that's what I think they can tell you.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
I've never heard of anyone actually getting a ticket
for it, but they cantechnically get you for it.
So I can pee in a bush, but Ican't pee on the ice I don't
know where do you think.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
Where do you think?

Speaker 3 (22:43):
the.
Where do you think the fuckingfish pee dude yeah, like what
the fuck?

Speaker 2 (22:47):
that's crazy yeah, I suppose I mean, I get it,
contaminating the lake andwhatever else.
But yeah, that seems a littleoverboard, that's kind of I can
understand, like that's thething.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
But you go on a one week trip and you're in the same
fishing spot the piss spot.

Speaker 3 (23:03):
You need a designated piss spot.
Day one, my plan is always topiss in the exact same spot.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
So then it looks like I only pissed once the whole
time.
So after basic, how long beforeyou get moved from basic to
where you're stationed at soimmediate or do you go?

Speaker 4 (23:20):
home first or so kind of the whole timeline is.
There's basic is 13 weeks, solike three months give or take,
like very close, um.
And then you get 10 days ofleave to like go home fucking
say see all your buddies withyour cool haircut or whatever
you know, walk around with yourmarine sweatshirt, your buddies
with your cool haircut orwhatever you know.
Walk around with your marinesweatshirt and then after those

(23:40):
10 days, you go back to whateverjob you chose.
So, like mine was infantry, Iguess, and then mine was my job,
school was two months long.
You go do those two months andthen after that two months,
that's when you go to your unit.
That's where you figure outwhere you're getting stationed
and then you just kind of staythere until whenever you get
orders or the end of yourcontract.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Dang.
Okay, I did not expect there tobe any sort of a gap.
I guess I don't know why.
I thought you just wentstraight to it.

Speaker 4 (24:08):
I want to say, right after bootcamp I was home for
like 17 days or something,because they had 17 days until
the next ITB class.
They gave me 10 days, then aweek of recruiter's assistance.
So for the last seven days ofmy boot camp leave I was driving
up to duluth I want to saytwice and then he just told me
don't worry about it and thenbasically like, helping recruit

(24:30):
people, yeah, okay, oh, dude itwas when this motherfucker would
come home for a few days.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
it was a burden on on his friends Cause you know
there was an expectation to letit rip.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
I had to talk to him right before he was getting out
to be like hey, dude, it's notalways like this when you get
home.

Speaker 4 (24:47):
I remember that conversation you gotta have some
different expectations.
Oh yeah, we just get slammed.
Yeah, do it all a hundredpercent.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
I mean it do it all 100.
I mean it was crazy.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Dude, habel was like I would not want to call him a
pussy, but he was a total pussygoing into into boot camp and
then this motherfucker came homefive inches taller, fucking
ripped as fuck, 10 times thetattoos he had before I do
remember, like the small amountof partying I did with habel in
high school and then, like therewas just like this three-year
gap, like a four-year probably.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
Yeah I'm just like I never even saw him once and he
came back.
I'm like, dude, you're an adultnow what's really happened to
you.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
Where'd this facial hair and shit?
What the fuck?
Who are you dude?
He was the friend you couldkind of push around you know and
it's like, oh, he's myprotector.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
No, that makes sense why you would want to go into
the Marines, then, honestly, ifyou had this kind of like you
were a smaller guy.
Yeah, right, right and thosewere the badasses and you
probably didn't see yourself asthat.

Speaker 4 (25:47):
No, Well, I mean, that's not the reason I went.
It's just I don't know.
I just kind of was like it'slike the forbidden fruit Totally
, I just had to have it.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
I guess Totally.
Fruit, totally, I just had tohave it.
I guess, totally, when youactually got stationed to where
you were going, um, was it whatyou thought it was going to be
like?
No, what?
What?
The immediate start of likeokay, now I'm actually enlisted.
What is that like?

Speaker 4 (26:10):
you get yelled at a lot.
Uh, you're basicallyeverybody's bitch that deployed
until you deploy.
So, like for my first, I wantto say it was a year and a half
work up to our deployment, whichwas just japan.
So basically just sailingaround on a ship for three
months, sitting in japan forthree months, um, leading up

(26:31):
until that, you're basicallyeverybody who has deployed did
the last deployments.
Bitch, you just gotta walkaround.
You gotta get a dumb asslooking haircut and you just
gotta walk around and dowhatever they say.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
Fucking bend the knee do whatever, even if you didn't
want to oh, there's no choicewas.
Was there ever times where itwas like motherfucker?
I don't oh, I know you're justmaking me do this, because
you're just doing it oh no, theywould.

Speaker 4 (26:58):
They would think like just shit, that they didn't
want to do and thought would befunny to see you do.
And then you just end up doingit.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
Damn Well, there's no choice we can cut this if you
don't want it in there.
But you, I remember you tellingme a story about when you, you
like mistitled somebody.
One of your sergeants told youto mess with this captain or
some sorts, and he followed youback to your room.
You know what I'm talking aboutno are you talking about?

Speaker 4 (27:28):
the time that I told you that, well, this isn't me
but I.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
I told you that, like some guy, got arrested for
hazing no, you told me that thatsomebody told you to mistitle
this guy.
He was like a captain youyou're.
What are you supposed to saywhen, when you see somebody
that's a higher rank than you?

Speaker 4 (27:47):
you just call them by their title.
I'm a little lost here.
I don't know what story you'retalking about.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
I want to hear about this person getting arrested, if
, if you don't remember thisyeah, dude, apparently cut
everything.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
I just said jesus christ.

Speaker 4 (27:59):
Well, I'm not gonna lie to you, the arrested one's
probably gonna have to get cut,because I don't know if that's
still open.
I'm assuming it's closed, okaywe can talk about it afterwards,
then okay, all right, yeah,holy hell doesn't imply it
doesn't involve me at all.
It's just something thathappened, like right before I
got there.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Yeah, okay, so okay, so um, definitely scared the
shit out of me.
When you get, how long do youknow, or how long of a heads up
do you get before you knowyou're getting deployed, and how
long or in that do they tellyou where you're going?
What's like the call like Like.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
What information Do they just?
Give you a phone call or, dothey like, bring you in a room
and tell you.

Speaker 4 (28:29):
No, there's like no call.
It's just kind of like all thehigher ups will talk about it
every Friday, like before youget your weekend free, you'll
get like a libo brief andthey'll always do some big
speech about like hey, this iscoming up.
This is why we train, you knowthey'll do that rah rah go team
yep.
So I, I mean, I knew that I wasgoing to japan, probably year

(28:50):
and a half out, like right.
When I got to the unit theywere like, oh, we're going on
the 31st mu and whenever youknow, yeah.
So you have a very long headsup, you know, but they tell you
like the month and the year.
They don't give you like days,but a year and a half out.
I don't need.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
So it's not like the movies where you get a call and
they're like we're fuckingrolling, let's go.
No, pack your bag not at all.

Speaker 4 (29:08):
Pack your shit not as a fucking helicopter landing
your front yard.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
12 hours.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
No, that's always like the secret guys.
Yeah, yeah, it's like there'ssome shit going down.
We need you now.
What?

Speaker 3 (29:18):
is the chris kyle movie, american sniper, he's
like at his wedding and he getscaught, of course yeah, what a
plot oh great movie too.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
That was a great movie was there?

Speaker 2 (29:28):
was there specific places that you didn't want to
get deployed to?
Because I know, like my stepdadwas in the air force and I
always remember hearing otherair force guys talk about how no
one wanted to be stationedspecifically in grand forks just
because of how cold it gets,but like certain places overseas
where it was like don't put methere, please don't put me there
, please don't put me there.

Speaker 4 (29:48):
There's nowhere overseas that I really didn't
want to go.
I just wanted to get deployed,to get kind of getting fucked
with over with.
Yeah, um, the only thing that Ireally didn't want to do was
one of the big training eventsthere's, bridgeport, like the
one that I went to.
I went in the summer.
They do a winter package inbridgeport and it's basically
you're just camping and walkingaround and fucking like 10 20
degree weather in the snow, justcamping out there for like two

(30:12):
weeks I really didn't want tofucking do.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
That'd be fun as hell , dude, but you're from
minnesota, boy.
That's like you're fuckingbread and butter dude.

Speaker 4 (30:20):
See, that's what I thought all over see, that's
what I thought, but like it's alot easier when you have a
choice on when you can go getwarm when you don't have a
choice to go get warm or like doanything that you want to do
and you're somebody's bitchwhile doing it oh, fuck yeah no,
makes it.

Speaker 3 (30:35):
I didn't want to go at all double shitty oh yeah, I
was so happy I never go overthere and count those fucking
snowflakes how many times.

Speaker 4 (30:41):
That's a real thing.
It'd be like count grains ofsand, like fuck that how many
times?

Speaker 3 (30:44):
tell me that he had like an instructor, one of his
like leaders or whatever.
They had a fucking dump truckfull of like rock and he's like
go count all the rocks in theback of that truck right now
he's like, and I just countedthem.
I counted them for like a halfhour until he told me I could
stop dude, that half hour.

Speaker 4 (30:57):
That half hour is almost nice, because it's like a
half hour.
You're like unfuckwithable.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
Yeah, oh yeah, like no.
This guy told me to do this.
Oh yeah, yeah and I'll.

Speaker 4 (31:05):
I'll get that, I'll drag that out as long as I
fucking can.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
Unfuckwithable might be one of my new favorite in you
know, and how long, how longwere you in four years?

Speaker 2 (31:13):
yeah, four years.
How many times did you getdeployed?
Once okay, but you went to abunch of different places, so I
went to my, my deployment I wentto.

Speaker 4 (31:24):
We flew to okinawa, japan, and then we were on ship
and we stopped in guam and thenjust went back to japan and then
, after deployment, we went on atraining exercise into
australia and I want to say thatwas two weeks.
Those are the only places thatI went.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
So three different countries.

Speaker 4 (31:44):
Oh, okay, that's sweet.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
It was a great time when you guys flew over, were
you in one of those cargo planeswhere there's the whole open
back area and you got to strapin?

Speaker 4 (31:52):
See, I wish I could say yes, because it sounds so
much better.
No, it's basically like flyingcommercial you, because it
sounds so much better, dude.
No, it's basically like flyingcommercial you, you fly to.
I want to say when we, when weflew to japan, we went to alaska
, then to korea, to japan.
And then I want to say when wewent to australia, we went to
hawaii, to australia, and it'sjust commercial that's so crazy,

(32:14):
because the way that my brainsees a map, I'm like wait, why
would you do that?

Speaker 2 (32:18):
and then I remember like obviously it looks.
Sees a map.
I'm like, wait, why would youdo that?
And then I remember likeobviously it looks different.

Speaker 4 (32:20):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
But I'm thinking like wait a second.
Yeah, why would you go?

Speaker 3 (32:24):
all the way Bitch doing his eyes so hard.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
This is my only bro with a fucking college degree.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
I'm just thinking like okay yeah, yeah.
Why would you fly left if wallthat?

Speaker 1 (32:38):
surrounds the world the ice wall dude.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
Yeah, the ice wall, since the world is flat, god.

Speaker 4 (32:44):
I want to say I do have been in Alaska.
Yeah, it was probably Alaska.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
Do you?
Have any beef with kangaroos.

Speaker 4 (32:51):
I didn't see any kangaroos, but I saw some
wallabies.
They're like the little shorterones.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
Those things are kind of fucking scary dude.

Speaker 4 (32:57):
When you get like somewhat close, they start
pounding the ground.
They're jacked as fuck, aren'tthey?

Speaker 3 (33:00):
oh, it's scary.

Speaker 4 (33:01):
I have videos.
I have a couple videos too ofthem like running shit myself.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
I've heard like all these wallabies and kangaroos
are so cool and then when youactually see them in person,
it's like this is just a giantrat, like it's just oh 100.
It looks like a giant rose,what.

Speaker 4 (33:15):
what kind of weirded me out more was like the big fox
or those bats, like I thinkthey're the fox bats or whatever
.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
Yeah, we saw a couple of them Dude.

Speaker 4 (33:22):
They're like fucking two feet tall and I'm like dude,
what the fuck?
What is this thing?
Just hanging from a tree limband it's huge and it's just a
black like object and there'slike 30 of them.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
Jesus, what are these going to eat?
That's the thing aboutAustralia.
I feel like every time you heara story about an animal in
Australia, it's like everythingover there can kill you.
Oh yeah, there's just weirdshit over there.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
I've been in the loop lately of Australia learning
the history of it.
So, first of all, there'sdifferent seasons in the years.
There's these birds that willattack you, depending on what
time of year it is, and you canbarely go outside at this time.
It's fucking crazy.
And then in the history of itthere's a huge section where
Britain just sent their fuckingprisoners to there.

(34:05):
They'd be like you're exiled toAustralia, and then they just
started their own country.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
Was this during World War?

Speaker 3 (34:11):
II or what.
That's why they're all fuckingdope as fuck down there.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
I don't know the exact timeline, but they were
exiling people to Australia fora while.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
That's wild.
That's why they're fucking nuts.
Was Australia a country at thispoint?
Why were they letting thathappen?

Speaker 1 (34:24):
I think it started as a British colony.

Speaker 4 (34:29):
They had their own revolution right.

Speaker 3 (34:30):
Yeah, I think Australia was like the wild wild
west for a long time.
Yeah, absolutely Fucking cowboyshit.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
And then the fucking whiteys fucking dominated it,
and now they got Australia, dude.

Speaker 3 (34:42):
I would love to go there.
Are you on Australia TikTok atall, you know?

Speaker 2 (34:44):
what I'm talking about A little bit, I see a
little bit.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
There's these goofy ass Australian dudes that just
go out in the fucking bush andgrab random animals and play
with them.

Speaker 4 (34:56):
Oh, look at this thing you know, you ever see
that?

Speaker 3 (34:58):
no, there's, like there's australia tiktok and
florida tiktok, and they're thesame fucking thing.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
Yeah, they just go out in the wilderness and grab
these random animals that youshould never be touching.
Just a slightly differentaccent.
They're not crazy different, Iwould imagine.
No, not extremely depending onhow well.

Speaker 4 (35:12):
It also depends on what part of australia you're in
too.
I was in like the northwestdude.
It's like fucking the desertthere, ain't shit there.
And it's so weird becauseyou'll get like the weekend off
and you'll go be able to go intotown like your first time in
australia.
I'm going to a bar and you'redriving this bus into town and
they have like the aboriginalsand they're running in the woods
alongside the fucking bus.

(35:32):
What?
yeah it's fucking like, it'seerie, almost whoa.
And they, they don't speakEnglish, they're like speaking
like their own language.
It's a little eerie, andthey're like the homeless people
in town too, and the firstcouple days we were there you
get like briefed, like don'ttalk to these guys.

Speaker 3 (35:49):
Like stay away.

Speaker 4 (35:51):
They are dangerous, like there was like a big fight
or something in town before wegot there.
And it was like machetes andcrossbows or some shit like it
was like two different tribes inthe middle of the town, like in
the street fucking hotel.
Rwanda that's fucking sweet andyou get like briefed and you
just don't go near these fuckers.
One of my buddies, as we're atthe bar, he like calls this guy
over.
He's sitting here like talkingto us in a different language,

(36:13):
like right over this, likerailing of the bar, and he hops
over.
The owner, comes over andstarts like screaming at him
like it was weird whoa.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
It was like hey, you can't be over there.

Speaker 4 (36:22):
Oh yeah, it was like kicking a homeless guy out of
fucking hotel.
You know, jesus?

Speaker 2 (36:27):
that's insane.
Um, give us some stories fordeployment, would you ever see
anything crazy?
No, I mean were you ever?

Speaker 4 (36:35):
in actual combat no, okay, nope, nope.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
Never saw anything like that much like crazy stuff
going on while you were well,while I was while I was on
deployment, kabul happened oh,okay but that wasn't my unit, um
, that was two, one, I was inthree, five.

Speaker 4 (36:52):
So they got to go over to yeah, well, I mean, if
you want to say got to, you know, um, they went over to kabul,
did all that, and then that'swhere those 13 marines died.
And I'm sitting here inaustralia fucking drunk in my
room, or not, in australia, injapan, just drunk in my room,
dude.
That is crazy.
Drastically differentexperiences than you think
deployment would be.
Oh, I would imagine.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
Yeah yeah, I mean you definitely you can tell when
you talk to someone who was inand saw some shit.
You know, I know a few guysthat's like they don't really
talk about it, unless they got afew beers in them.
Yep, there's some real traumathere, for sure.

Speaker 4 (37:26):
Oh, yeah, yeah, there's definitely.
You can definitely tell, likesome of the guys that were in
before me, some of them seensome shit, like a lot of like
the higher-ups, they, they gotsome fucking stories.
Oh, I would imagine.
Oh, especially the ones thatwere in Afghanistan, iraq doing
multiple tours, you'll have allthe higher-ups that were in
Kermadee fucking Fallujah andthey're just sitting here like

(37:50):
this is why we do it and they'llcome ripping with a story from
Fallujah Like POV experience.
It's fucking kind of wakes youup a little bit.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
Did it change your view of the world and like how
different countries interactwith the united states?
A little bit, a little bit.
In what way?
Uh, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (38:07):
It's like you realize that we aren't top shit.
I guess all it takes forsomebody to die is a bullet in
the right place.
It's not fucking.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
The world is simple I don't know if that makes sense
in my.

Speaker 4 (38:21):
In my mind, the world is simple you get shot, you're
gonna die like I.
I don't know if I'm wordingthat right like life, feels more
fragile yes, 100.

Speaker 3 (38:31):
Life is a glass box I think a lot of like americans
growing up like we have thisidea in our head that, like
matter where you go, people arejust going to respect you and
give you good hospitality andthat's not real life, exactly.
Why the fuck.
Nobody fucking owes youanything.
Guys talk about that all thetime they go up to Canada.
Canadians aren't really thatfond of Americans just being up

(38:54):
there.

Speaker 4 (38:55):
Unless you're paying them shitloads of money.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
Unless you're spending money for a service
they provide or something likethat.
They don't really give a fuckabout you.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
No I, I know exactly what you're talking about.
We we used to go bear huntingin ontario every year and we go
like way up or like the actualroad stop and you're on like
logging trails and um, thisreservation is that we hunt just
north of is like literally inthe middle of nowhere.
The whole town is run on dieselgenerators and if you go to the
gas station to like fill upyour vehicle, you tell them, you

(39:23):
know, like these are the peoplethat were with or bring them
with you, because there's adifferent price for white people
versus people that are on thereservation or people that they
like, and it's quite thedifference oh I bet yeah, double
price type thing oh easy.
Yeah, it went from like, let'ssay, five bucks a gallon to like
13 bucks a gallon.
Oh jeez, if they don't know youif they don't like you if
you're just a white guy passingthrough like they don't, they

(39:44):
just don't want you there.

Speaker 3 (39:45):
Yeah, you know so yeah, it really depends like,
why would they too?
Because it's like I don't ifall the sudden pine city just
turned into a tourist fuckingattraction.
Why the fuck would I want abunch of random people here, you
know like yeah it's.
It makes sense if you thinkabout it from their perspective.
But like, americans are like,growing, grow up and like, are
taught this, like for somereason that we think that
everyone owes us, likehospitality and nobody does.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
Yeah, and we live a totally, very arrogant way to
fucking think yeah, no, Itotally get that.
Um, while you're like, what'sthe meals look like, are you?
Eating mres all the time, orwhat is it?

Speaker 4 (40:19):
no, um, so when we are in japan, so we're actually
staying in like barracks, youhave a chow hall and then this
is gonna sound actually kind offunny, but there is a px and
it's like basically a grocerystore for like on base and they
had a fucking popeyes in it, ohI basically survived off spicy

(40:39):
like crispy chicken sandwichesso funny and like I'd just get
hammered with my roommate bylike noon and then we just go
walk and get spicy, crispychicken sandwiches and that was
like a damn near daily thingthat is crazy, but
then on ship.
When you're on ship, you haveto.
There's like a big chow halland I was on a big cruiser, like

(41:00):
big airline carrier or whatever, um, and you'll sit in that
fucking line to get lunch fortwo hours.
There's like over a thousandpeople on the fucking ship and
it's only open for like three,so you have to go get food
unless you just don't want toeat like you have to sit and
wait in that fucking line andjust suffer damn two hours just
standing slowly.

(41:20):
You ever get to be the first guyin line well no, you ever get
up close at least fuck no, I'lljust wait till like I had to go,
and just hope the line's alittle bit shorter yeah, is that
reserved for, like higher titlepeople?
is there is there a peckingorder?
To it not, not entirely like,of course you're the guys above
you.
They're just gonna tell youfuck you, I'm gonna go in front

(41:42):
of you.
They'll do that, um, but likeall the really higher ups, they
have their own place to go.
This is all for, basically,bottom of the barrel.
Bitches, you go sit in the mainline for the sam chris of the
world.

Speaker 1 (41:53):
Yep, exactly just like lineman school dude I
remember sitting in them linesdude.

Speaker 2 (42:01):
So for your four years goes up.
You were deployed for sixmonths.
You said okay, you're, and thatwas a year and a half into it.
You were deployed for sixmonths yeah, right around there.

Speaker 4 (42:12):
So now you're sitting at about two and a half years
total.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
What did you do for the other year and a half before
you?

Speaker 4 (42:17):
well out.
I I probably only had.
I mean, you got to add in bootcamp and itb in there, so that's
five months, so that counts astime.
And then it's a year and a halfworkup.
So say I'm almost two years inafter deployment, I have
probably a year and a half left,and then it's just kind of.
I stayed in that infantry unitfor probably a year and then I

(42:41):
got when I told them that Ididn't want to go on the next
deployment, I wanted to get outum and go to like school, they
basically shipped me out to adifferent unit, they shipped me
out to regiment and then I wasthere and just rotted for like
my last six months really yep,now the the whole time, like
from the start of basic training.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
Are you getting paid that whole time?

Speaker 1 (43:00):
oh yeah, damn, yeah, that's crazy, what is what is?

Speaker 2 (43:04):
I was gonna say what's like?
What do they start you at whenyou're in basic?
What do you get?

Speaker 4 (43:07):
god, like a private, I want to say, makes like 1200
to 1400 bucks a month, like it's, and you get paid every other
week.
I want to say in boot camp,when I got out, they just pay
you.
You can't really spend money,so it's, and you get paid every
other week.
I want to say in boot camp,when I got out, they just pay
you.
You can't really spend money,so it's kind of nice.
But I want to say when I gotout of boot camp I had like 3
300 bucks to my name, dang, andI'm like, oh, I thought I was
rich yeah, yeah, yeah, I supposeafter you came out from

(43:30):
deployment.

Speaker 3 (43:30):
Did you get to like bitch people that hadn't been on
employment yet?
Yeah, play that card quite abit oh and I understand that'd
be the only like reason that Iwanted to take way too much.

Speaker 1 (43:38):
Oh yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 4 (43:39):
That's the kind of person I am.

Speaker 3 (43:40):
You almost have to if I got bitched even one time
before I got deployed.
I came back, I ruinedeveryone's life.

Speaker 4 (43:45):
Well, you have to think about it this way like
you've been bitched around forthe last year and a half, you
want to get some of that back?

Speaker 3 (43:50):
yeah, totally, I'm getting way more than enough
back you want some interest onit.

Speaker 4 (43:54):
I'm taking it infinitely too far.
Oh yeah, I'm going to be theworst.
You're going to be the one thatgoes to jail for hazing.

Speaker 3 (43:59):
Yeah for sure, oh yeah, oh yeah, 100%.

Speaker 1 (44:01):
It's like the kid that was a fucking loser and
then becomes a teacher and takesit out on the new cool kids
growing up.

Speaker 3 (44:06):
Oh, you mean every teacher ever dude yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:13):
I'm fucking ruining this kid's date.

Speaker 3 (44:16):
This kid's getting sent to the hall immediately.
Dude, that's why I got beefwith teachers.
They're all fucking nerds.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
So why did you decide to get out then?

Speaker 4 (44:27):
I just didn't see a full career in it.
I wanted to come back home.
I don't know, I just didn't seea full.
I couldn't see myself doing itfor the next 20 years.
Yeah, and I could kind of seemyself like coming back home.
I couldn't do the things that Iwanted out there.
I couldn't kind of just gooutdoors whenever I wanted.
Um, I was living on base.
I didn't want to live in fuckingsouthern California for the

(44:49):
next 20 years and I just kind ofwanted to move back home well,
not home, but like move backlike roughly in the general area
and actually kind of startsomething.
I wanted to buy a house, buy anice vehicle.
Yeah, can't really do that outthere Right.

Speaker 2 (45:04):
Yeah, have something, yeah, no.

Speaker 4 (45:06):
I get that.
Have something that's mine.

Speaker 2 (45:07):
Yeah, no, I get that.

Speaker 1 (45:09):
So one thing you hear a lot about guys in the
military is they get married tosomebody.
Oh yeah, just because you getpaid more, you get to live off
out of the barracks.
Did you ever consider, likefuck?

Speaker 4 (45:20):
Oh, me and the homies almost got married a couple
times.
We'd like talk about it.

Speaker 1 (45:24):
A little Chuck and Larry action.

Speaker 4 (45:26):
Oh, 100%.
But you don't even have to fakeit, Everybody just knows and
they're just like all right,well, whatever.

Speaker 3 (45:31):
Rules are rules, dude .

Speaker 4 (45:40):
Oh, 100.
Um, we had two guys actually dothat in our unit too and they
got married, they got a house onbase and since they were both
in, they both give up like halftheir BH for that house, then
still have their half just gointo their wallets.
And then also you get comrades,which is like for the chow hall
.
If you're married you don't getit, it just goes to your bank
account.
It's actually like 300 bucks amonth so it's like all right,
well, fuck it.
It's like $2 to go to thefucking chow hall.
I'm not going to the chow hallto actually use enough to $300.

Speaker 1 (46:04):
You got to call up the old hometown fling.
Get her to move over.

Speaker 3 (46:08):
Dude, I should have.
I would have moved out therefor you, dude, I would have
appreciated it I would havedropped out of line If you'd
have called me mid-December andsaid you wanted to get married
in Southern California.
I'd have been on thatmotherfucker.

Speaker 4 (46:20):
I should have just called you and said I'll give
you $300 a month just to marryme on paper.

Speaker 3 (46:25):
You can stay in.
Minnesota work do whatever youwant, I came out and totally
took advantage of everything youhad going on.

Speaker 2 (46:30):
I wasn't playing your video games, jerking off in
your house.

Speaker 3 (46:34):
If I'm marrying you, dude, I'm getting wife treatment
.

Speaker 4 (46:37):
You're a stay-at-home mom.

Speaker 1 (46:38):
I'm not some whore that you have back home, dude.
So when you tell them thatyou're not going to re-enlist, I
don't want to go on the seconddeployment.
Do they actively try to recruityou to stay in, or are they
just like, well, fuck thisfucker's done, We'll just let
him be?

Speaker 4 (46:53):
It depends if you're a piece of shit or not.

Speaker 2 (46:55):
Yeah, I would imagine they prod you a little bit.
Why, why do you want to?

Speaker 4 (46:59):
leave.
I got prodded quite a bit.
You just get basically askedjust every day are you sure you
don't want to like, hey, we'llgive you this special treatment
on next deployment.
You know like, yeah, I'll buyyou a hooker or something.

Speaker 2 (47:12):
All right, this is where our tax dollars are going.
Oh, you're way stronger than me, dude.
I'd have fallen for thatimmediately.
You'd have folded.

Speaker 3 (47:19):
Oh, I'd have fell for that I wouldn't even negotiate
it.
I'm like, yeah, fuck, well, Iguess, if I have to, where's the
papers?

Speaker 2 (47:27):
mitch is in the service for another 40 years
dude, keep tricking me withhookers, dude, they're so smart
uh, if you had to like describeyour day-to-day life outside of
deployment, what is that likewhile you're actually enlisted?

Speaker 4 (47:44):
uh, that was where you wake up at like 5, 45, are
you talking about that?
And like you?
Go work out in the morning andyeah okay, um, yeah, just every
couple months you go do a bigtraining like exercise or
whatever, but then every day.

Speaker 2 (47:57):
Do they do like different things every training
exercise like this?
This time we're working on this, or is it just like?

Speaker 4 (48:02):
it's like you're.
You're ramping up to deployment, if that makes sense okay,
you're doing like harder andharder stuff, I guess.
So, like the first couple feet,like training exercises, they'll
be like, oh, I'm gonna go out,sleep in the fucking backyard
for three days and go shoot thisrange.
But then, when you're gettingcloser to deployment, right
before deployment, you have todo a thing called itx.
It's two months in just thedesert of fucking eastern
california and you're shootinglike live ranges with like

(48:26):
rockets, with fucking machineguns, like you're actually
shooting live ass ranges being acall of duty guy, I'm sure you
you knew a lot of the weaponsgoing in.

Speaker 1 (48:34):
It was yeah, you'd think so, you'd think so but I'm
sure you've pretty much shoteverything you've ever wanted to
shoot, I'd assume for the mostpart yeah have you ever been in
a tank or anything like that?

Speaker 4 (48:45):
marine corps doesn't use tanks.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
That's the army oh, that's pussy shit.

Speaker 4 (48:50):
I am the fucking tank brother, we got mitch, we got
mitch for it give me a fuckinghooker.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
Dude, give Mitch a hooker he'll find one not one
bullet that's gonna pierce thisguy with that much blood running
through him.

Speaker 3 (49:04):
I'm gonna get him a fucking bottle of sake, dude,
and I'm fucking gonna go hisskin's getting hard just
thinking about it oh Jesus, ifyou could.

Speaker 2 (49:16):
Okay, if someone was considering going into the
service right out of high schooland they say I want to be a
Marine, what would you?
What would you say?

Speaker 4 (49:24):
I'd say, if you want to do it, do it.
It's definitely a learningexperience.
I mean, of course, as you guysknew me before, I fucking grew
up quite a bit from it.
I feel like it's night and daydifference who I was before and
who I am when I came out, youknow.
So if you actually want to doit, I'd say, go for it.
I think it's a greatopportunity.

Speaker 1 (49:51):
Dude, I mean just from being from the outside,
looking in, being your friend.
Like you decided not to go tocollege right out of high school
, you were working a non-unionconstruction job for like 14 an
hour Yep.
And then you said, fuck thisdude, this can't be my future.
And now, four years later,you're going to trade school for
free.

Speaker 4 (50:03):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (50:04):
You already have a great fucking what's it called
An internship you know, thatyou're leading towards.
Like you are a great examplethat I've seen of like fuck you,
do your four years.
It really helps set amotherfucker up.

Speaker 4 (50:17):
Oh yeah.
Well, I'm about to get myassociates what this May and
then I'm just going to alreadygot accepted my job at that
internship and I just start outright as soon as I graduate or
whenever I want.

Speaker 1 (50:28):
Like to never have to see a student debt bill.
Oh yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 4 (50:33):
And you get paid to go too.
You get something called BAH.
It's your basic allowance inhousing just for showing up.
It's super nice and it goes offlike the average cost of an
apartment in Minneapolis orwherever your school is they
just pay you that much.

Speaker 3 (50:46):
I've seen that.
I feel, like all the guys thatI went to school with that were
previous military, all drovehome for that reason.
They're like I'm not gonna getan apartment because they're
paying for way more than myfucking gas.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
Oh yeah, now if, if, if shit goes down like if the
world starts going crazy, youget the call, are you?
Are you one of the first peoplethat they're calling back, like
?

Speaker 1 (51:07):
is there a grace?

Speaker 2 (51:09):
period afterwards where, like you're not the top
priority It'd have to be prettybad, but basically.

Speaker 4 (51:15):
so when you sign up, you sign an eight year contract.
It's four years active and fouryears inactive.
Ok, so I'm in my four yearsinactive reserves.
So basically, before a draftwould happen, they'd call back
the inactive reserves.

Speaker 1 (51:27):
So that would be me.

Speaker 4 (51:36):
And it's not a fucking name draw, it's just go
yeah, um, I.
I'm in that point, but after Iwant to say I have two and a
half years left then it's justcivilian mode, baby, oh yeah,
well, I feel like what if?

Speaker 3 (51:47):
what if that was up?
And then they called you andthen they were like you can go
fucking kick doors, dude.
Would you fucking do it?
I don't have a choice.

Speaker 4 (51:53):
That'd be kind of cool.
No, I'm saying after, I thinkit'd be kind of cool yeah.

Speaker 3 (52:01):
You trained so much to be able to do something.

Speaker 4 (52:04):
If you weren't four years to go do something, then
you don't get to do it, you gotto think about it that way.
It's like getting cocked.
Mitch when I went to linemanschool if you never got to touch
electricity.

Speaker 3 (52:13):
I'd have been fucking crushed.
That's what I'm saying.
I'd have been absolutelyfucking crushed.
That's me.
Yeah, I just feel like afucking dumb civilian bitch dude
, exactly.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
Oh God.

Speaker 1 (52:31):
Yeah, here, gotta bully your friends and take the
training out on them.
Yeah, my, my dad.
Actually he did four years inthe army and then desert storm
kicked off.
When he was he was in thereserves and he got called in to
go to war and he was back.
Like you have to do a coupleweeks of training before they
actually deploy you, and itended while he was doing his
training.
So he never had to go but Iasked him I'm were you kind of
like I was pretty young, I justgot into Call of Duty.

(52:52):
I'm like, were you?

Speaker 2 (52:53):
excited and he's like fuck no.
Are you fucking stupid Like?

Speaker 4 (52:58):
that was the first time it hit me like oh fuck, war
is not Call of Duty.
Sam, I feel like you would haveasked Eric if he knew Captain
Price.
I, Eric, if you knew CaptainPrice.
I feel like that's what youwould have done.
I don't even know, captainPrice.
From.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
Call of Duty.
Call of Duty, like the story.

Speaker 1 (53:12):
I don't play the fucking story.

Speaker 3 (53:15):
Do you?

Speaker 1 (53:15):

randomly said reverso and I waslike what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (53:50):

because I said something aboutit?
Was that on air when I askedyou if star wars nerds or harry
potter nerds were worse, or isthat off air?

Speaker 1 (54:06):
it was off air and I had already started this.

Speaker 3 (54:09):
I was really straight .
I didn't even know what I wassaying.

Speaker 1 (54:12):
I was like fuck, harry Potter's done.
I got a nerd out on somethingelse, went to Star Wars and then

(54:33):
I'm thinking about joining theMarines.
I don't know yet.

Speaker 4 (54:38):
Well, you got what?
Two years left.
You got to make a decision.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
I got to get on Ozempic and make your half Is
there certain requirements whenyou're doing your pt, stuff that
you have to meet while you'relike to get in yeah, um like, do
you have to run a mile in acertain amount of time, or be a
certain weight, or your bmi be acertain way, or?

Speaker 4 (54:58):
yeah, so you have to.
They got like this janky assthing if you're six foot, you
have to be between these weights.
They got something like that.
Then you have your physicalfitness test and your combat
fitness test, so like your pftand cfd, and each of them are
like three different events andyou have to score at least a

(55:18):
certain number on all of them tobe able to kind of well, you're
gonna stay in, but then withoutkind of doing a ton of extra
physical shit like in your offtime and how much of a pain like
could cody do it right now?
yeah, cody could probably do it,I think so he's too old, he's
too fit and handsome, yeah, tooold as fuck but too old you know
, there's no one let me in.

Speaker 2 (55:39):
Called yesterday.

Speaker 1 (55:41):
Hey, you know you could join the.
Uh what?
What's that shit that they doaround town?
Everyone makes fun of them.
National guard, yeah, dude, youcould national guard that shit
that they do around town.

Speaker 4 (55:48):
Everyone makes fun of them.
National Guard yeah, dude, youcould National.

Speaker 2 (55:50):
Guard that shit, you could.

Speaker 4 (55:51):
You probably could right now.

Speaker 2 (55:52):
What do they actually ?
What does the National Guard do?

Speaker 1 (55:54):
First, of all, I don't you still have to go
through.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
You still have to go through basic for National Guard
.
I believe so.

Speaker 1 (56:00):
Really, yeah, expected a little more now.

Speaker 4 (56:11):
I'm in.

Speaker 3 (56:11):
My stepbrother's girlfriend was in the National
Guard and they deployed her tofucking.

Speaker 4 (56:14):
Iraq, dude what she's healthier than I am.

Speaker 1 (56:15):
She could bitch me.

Speaker 3 (56:15):
Yeah probably.
She's like 5'1" so I wouldn'tget bitched if I was you.

Speaker 4 (56:19):
But do your thing, dude.
I didn't go to Iraq, did you?
No, dude, then she can bitchyou.
I'm not in the military Logan.

Speaker 2 (56:27):
Well then she already can right off the rip yeah no
matter what I'm yeah, I think itgives me a different respect
for it, for sure.
I mean, obviously I've knownpeople that have been through
basic and been deployed andwhatever, but I don't think that
I've ever really understood thedynamic of like the, what the
life is like yeah, it's just abig hierarchy and it's basically

(56:48):
, if you're at the bottom,you're a bitch.

Speaker 4 (56:50):
That's basically all it is.
You do whatever the peopleabove you say to do.
I imagine.

Speaker 2 (56:55):
That just never stops , though, no, just the tasks are
less tedious, the higher youget, oh yeah.
Because, there's always goingto be someone above you.

Speaker 3 (57:08):
Are all the guys at the top like just be like, I'm
not gonna get bitched anymore.

Speaker 4 (57:10):
Some of them, some, some of them.
I could definitely see thatmost of them are like kind of
act like dads, but they don'thave children.

Speaker 1 (57:17):
You are their children, I guess that makes
sense, yeah you know did youwere there, guys like you'd
think to yourself like if Ioutranked you, I would beat the
fuck out of you, right?

Speaker 2 (57:25):
now like did you have ?

Speaker 1 (57:26):
any, any older bullies.
You know anyone that was reallylooking down on you?

Speaker 4 (57:30):
I mean like not entirely, because most people
that bitch you were ondeployment.
All you do on deployment isdrink and work out.
So nine times out of ten whenyou come back from deployment
you're bigger than you were whenyou joined at 18.
So I'm sitting here gettingbits browned by a ton of drunk
21-year-olds.
You know, I'm 18.
I can't fucking fight anyone.

Speaker 2 (57:52):
I'll get my fucking ass fucked.

Speaker 4 (57:53):
Yeah right, you know so I'm just kind of Casper.
I'm sitting in the cornerfucking trying not to get
noticed.

Speaker 1 (57:59):
That adjustment of being just a feral motherfucker
in the barracks to going livingback with your parents again in
a normal civilization.
You're like.
That had to be an adjustmentright off the bat oh yeah, oh
yeah, it's fucking.

Speaker 4 (58:15):
It is a night and day difference, because now I can't
go knock on the door next to me.
Hey, you want to, you want togo get hammered?

Speaker 2 (58:21):
I mean, it's noon you , could you just go knock on
your dad's door when you get up.

Speaker 3 (58:24):
You must have grown up in a different household than
me, my dad come would comeparty?

Speaker 4 (58:27):
I've watched my dad drink.
I could count it on one hand inmy life.
Maybe you can get him back intoit.
I don't think he was ever intoit.
Get him started on it, you getback home from deployment.

Speaker 3 (58:39):
You can teach him a new hobby You're hammered at
noon on a Saturday.

Speaker 2 (58:42):
Hey Dad, you want to go hit the strip?

Speaker 3 (58:43):
club.
That's what I'm saying.
You want to go to bar?
You can teach an old dog newtricks.

Speaker 4 (58:47):
Dude, Don't let him tell you, we don't have to tell
mom.

Speaker 1 (58:53):
You ever drink with the.

Speaker 2 (58:53):
Marine, do you think you get different treatment from
people around you after beingin the service?
Obviously, you've changed a lot.

Speaker 4 (59:02):
It's like anytime I get drunk, I just get bombarded
with questions.
Yeah, Basically every questionthat we've asked on here so far.
I have probably heard 30 timesyeah, Particularly just from Sam
.
Yeah, I'd be willing to betevery time we drink he asks me
these questions every day.

Speaker 3 (59:23):
Oh, so you're just having a horrible time right now
.
I'm sorry that we did this toyou.

Speaker 4 (59:25):
I was getting backflashes from Sam blacked out
in my backseat.

Speaker 1 (59:28):
Dude, I just love it, man, because I just fucking
played so much Call of Duty.
What were care packages?

Speaker 4 (59:38):
like, but you don't know who Captain Price is.

Speaker 2 (59:40):
He wasn't in combat, he didn't get a score streak.

Speaker 1 (59:43):
Oh damn dude.

Speaker 4 (59:44):
Yeah, I never hit my five kills.

Speaker 1 (59:46):
You never got to release the dogs, dude, nope, no
.
Uav nothing, Dude.
That would be insane in reallife Fucking dogs.

Speaker 2 (59:56):
I don't think that that's what they do.

Speaker 1 (59:58):
You never played Black Ops apparently dude.

Speaker 4 (01:00:00):
Dude.
I never got to send out a swarm.

Speaker 3 (01:00:01):
I was so sad, you never seen them, dudes, that
fucking coyote hunt with dogs.
They got the fucking buttonthat releases the dogs out of
the back of the truck.

Speaker 2 (01:00:08):
No, I haven't seen that Dude.
It's badass.

Speaker 3 (01:00:09):
They got like nine kennels in the back of their
fucking truck and they hit abutton and all the doors fucking
slide open and the dogs justtake off.

Speaker 4 (01:00:17):
Dude, it's like real life Call of Duty, except you're
killing coyotes.
You just gotta imagine likenine greyhounds running after
that's insane.

Speaker 1 (01:00:25):
I'll show you well, they just hunt it down and kill
it yeah oh damn, oh yeah, that'skind of sweet it'll be like a
45 second chase.

Speaker 4 (01:00:31):
It's just greyhounds running after this fucking
coyote it is sick.

Speaker 3 (01:00:34):
You just go coyote hunting.
You don't even bring a gun.
The dogs aren't a gun.

Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
My head goes to like what is the training like for
each of those dogs?

Speaker 3 (01:00:40):
dude, that would can't be that whole time job.
Teach them how to kill shit, ohdude hunting dogs live a tough,
motherfucking life, man.

Speaker 1 (01:00:48):
They get no love.
You can't make them like yourpet.
You know, you grew up aroundhunting dogs, especially if
they're hunting other fuckingdogs.

Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
Well, it was always different at our house.
We always had like one or twomain dogs, one or two hunting
dogs that were like our familydogs, yeah.
But yeah, the other dogs, it'slike they're kind of just a
utility.

Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
If you want a really good hunting dog, they cannot be
your friend.
No, that's.
I guess that's just what I'veheard from trainers.

Speaker 2 (01:01:12):
I disagree with that.
Cause all like all like the,the guys with like championship
dogs that I know like that'stheir, that's their kid.

Speaker 1 (01:01:21):
They're in their bed Like they hang out like they're.

Speaker 2 (01:01:24):
That's their family pet.
Second, you know first, butthey're the hunting dog.

Speaker 4 (01:01:29):
I feel like it's just dependent on who your trainer
is and how you kind of bringthem up Totally, yeah, 100%,
Because you can bring it up towhere?
Yeah, this dog's going to sleepoutside its whole life, but
it's going to be fucking good atfinding pheasants.

Speaker 2 (01:01:37):
Yeah, totally, it's independently.
Every single person, I wouldassume, just trains their dogs
differently.

Speaker 3 (01:01:42):
I think you're thinking like Some things got to
sleep outside Like coon huntingdude.

Speaker 1 (01:01:47):
You ever seen raccoon hunting.

Speaker 2 (01:01:48):
Oh yeah, yeah, my dad used to do it.
We did it when I was a kid.

Speaker 1 (01:01:52):
That shit is unreal man.

Speaker 2 (01:01:53):
See you later, TK.

Speaker 1 (01:01:55):
Especially, I've been doing it with an older dog.
He's not as tough anymore andsometimes you don't know who's
going to win the fight.
Dude Raccoons are toughmotherfuckers.

Speaker 4 (01:02:06):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:02:07):

were on deployment?
