Sir, you could not have chosen a better military family to spend the day with. Hana and Nick are two of the best Marines I have ever known. They have both lived the Corps and gave you honest and straight answers. I've known Nick for 20+ years and he is the best example of a Marine I know. Thank you for documenting a great family. Semper Fidelis!!!
As a Marine brat, I appreciate you for doing this one. This touched me to my core. Our military service members are gems. Thank you so much for doing this!! Ooh-rah! ❤🎉
@@ZanderTheMarvelous “Marine brat” just means child of a Marine. It is common slang for children of military members to be known generally as “military brats”. Most identify further by the branch of service their parent(s) such as Marine brat, Army brat, Navy brat, Air Force brats, etc. There is a special bond amongst military brats as they grow up in a different lifestyle than other kids. The frequent moves, the parent(s) being deployed for long periods of time, small housing, lower pay, living/hanging out on military bases, using military hospitals, having a dependent ID, etc. It is just a different culture.
17:23 He had the right answer "if not me then who?" Which is why our service personel deserve the utmost respect. They do what we are not willing to do for ourselves for us with dedication, bravery and selflessness
I thank them for serving our country. My father fought in World War II. He came home and suffered from PTSD. They didn’t really know too much about it but they gave him lots of medication. It was a very hard childhood, having to live with a father, who suffered with mental health. Now I pray for these men and women to come back, not just whole physically, but whole mentally. it is a sacrifice.
As an Air Force Brat I love this. My dad was in my AF for 18 years and those long nights and days without my dad when I was little was a lot, the joy of seeing him come home in the morning or the evening was awesome, but we were always told to be quite so he could sleep if he had night shift
welcome to the life of a military family. there’s some days it’s really hard and others i’m blessed to be a military daughter. my dad has missed most of my life due to deployments and being stationed far from home. he’s currently away deployed out in the middle east. thankful he comes home this summer i. time for my sister to be born ❤️
First off, thank you and your father for the service y’all provide to this country. I’m also in the military and am approaching fatherhood. Do you have any advice for a parent that’s in the military having to be deployed? Is there maybe some that your dad does that makes it even 1% easier to be without him for so long?
it is interesting how different military life can be on people. on one hand you have people who never see there parent sense they are deployed and on the other hand you have military members not being away from there family for years and get to travel the world together
As a military brat myself, I thank you for making this video and putting some attention on military families. It’s very touching to see something like this for the first time. Thank you so much!
I love how real this is, explaining/showing the side most civilians do not see or understand. Great video! My family is military too. My husband has currently been active duty U.S Air Force for almost 8 years so far. He's been through 2 deployments in the middle east. Before joining he was a military child, his parents were mil to mil, so he's moved around his entire life. The military lifestyle can be tough sometimes, filled with many lows and highs. Although we might be far away from our family, the military is like a 2nd family. We've made some amazing life long friends on this journey.
As an Air force brat I can confirm this video is factual. The only thing I wish they went more into depth on is, the moving to new states, countries, and continents and then having to make new friends at a new school.
I come from a big military family. My sister and my dad both of my grandpas my cousins most of them and other family members served and are currently serving to this day. I see the struggles that my family go through when their spouses or their father or mother are deployed. But we are a family and we always stick together and we always will be there for each other. Thank you to all that I have served and thank you to all that have gave their lives for our freedom. Freedom is not free
Do marine call themselves soldiers or do they call them selves marines if so what do u call yourself in the army ? I’m not in the military just asking? EDIT- never mind I just watched the video
6:30 AM, real military style? lol. By 6:30 AM on base, you're probably already back from morning chow and doing barracks cleanup or getting ready to fall out for morning formation.
Being the child of someone in the military is tough. As a kid you're met with the harsh reality that your parents aren't immortal, and that sucks. Making friends is really difficult, at least for me it was I moved every 1-2 years. My Dad served 20 years in the military, he had a decent amount of time BEFORE I was born in, but a huge chunk of my life he was active duty 24/7. I didn't realize how much my father sacrificed both physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. He's had friends not make it back home, friends who did make it back home, and couldn't cope, he also has to deal with the stuff HE had to do as well. While also being an outstanding father. I've been an adult for a few years now, but that military lifestyle has kept calling me. I'll be enlisting early next month, because I've seen the benefits. This video brought back alot of happy and sad memories. Standing in this big airport, talking to my dad, and him explaining to me why he has to deploy. Then watching him get lost in the sea of uniforms as he boards a plane. The ceremony when he comes home, but the group is smaller than before. I personally can't wait to start my military journey, but 24 hours really isn't enough time to truly understand military lifestyles, but that's really all the time you had. It is one of the happiest and saddest portions of my life, and has shaped me into who I am today. You have to grow up, and mature so much faster than the students in your age group. It kind of strips your childhood away in some ways. I've been in school only to learn about a suicide bombing on the base where my dad was, he was literally a giant wall away from being blown up, and a few of the guys he worked with didn't make it. One of my core memories was me asking why he was angry sometimes, and I think it really woke him up to his emotions. I remember him sitting me down, and telling me that whenever I wanted to stop I could. I was maybe 16-17 when he pulled out this super dusty laptop, and on it were a couple hundred photos of his time in the military deployed. They were some of the most brutal images I've ever seen, and I'm sure I don't need to mention what exactly I'm talking about. But what gets me isn't the gore, it's the videos after. They get to base, and document what they saw to talk about it. Some of them are puking outside their rooms, some are reading a bible, others are praying to whoever they worship, smoking, working out, or just shut down completely. I've seen second hand the REAL horrors of war, and I've met the people in those videos. When he talks about PTSD in the video, and individuals going through a mental health journey it doesn't just impact you, it impacts your entire family. One day you're leaving this shining beacon, and 9-12 months later there's something missing that can never be retrieved. I really like how mental health was a big focus in this video, and that more Soldiers/Marines are OPEN about talking about their own personal journeys.
Some MREs come with small Tabasco bottles included with the meals. As we learned at the beginning of the video it’s changes everything when it comes to the taste.
Thank you for sharing this story To all MILITARY SERVICE FAMILIES AND MEMBERS MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND PROTECT YOU . KENNETH LINDSEY ,US NAVY RESERVE😊 ,🇺🇸🇺🇲
My grandfather and father both served. And my older brother is currently serving. My grandfather during Vietnam and Korea, and my father during Dessert Storm(as an MP). All three joined the Army. They all joined for their lose and passion for the country they grew up in.
I love her because shes so big about veterans mental heath because my dad had a TBI back in 1997 and has also had PTSD since then and has always had trouble carrying out everyday tasks so i appreciate people that care so much like her because me and my dad were watching this when he was home and he said he never have had someone that he has heard of or seen care as much as other vets such as her.
Medical issues kept me out of the military. I really wish I could have served my country like these amazing people. Thank you so much and God bless America.
Great interview. Amazing military couple. It take’s a lot of fortitude to keep in the fight especially with kids. Military brat moved 7 times, AF guy who moved 6 times. Even when you’re doing the work, you want to find a place where you can finally be grounded with family, community and location. It’s a very tough nut to crack.
I'm not even from the US, hell, i only did the +3 months soldier thing in my country, but i respect everyone who can go and do this, y'all are heroes in my eyes.
My father served Indian Army, we hardly spent anytime with him. I only saw him once a year. And we started spending time after his retirement. I was almost 17 year old by that time, my brother was 26 yrs and my sister was 32 year old and married. He never saw us growingup. Now, he is getting older and we are full grown adults and, mostly spend our time working at workplace. It’s sad seeing him getting older. I love you Dad.❤
During my junior year of high school I entered JROTC, our station was Marine Corps. I enjoyed every moment, figuring out what type of uniform soldiers wear or using the Marine uniforms. Personally I really liked the Marine corp uniform better than Army hahaha. I remember wanting to do Sword Detail, I injured my foot the day before during our parade and couldn’t attend it. Sad times. Thank you to all the people in the military and for their services.
Plz visit Lebanon 🇱🇧 Lebanon is the country of cedars and God's paradise on earth, and it has the oldest city in the world. It is possible to ski and go to the beach at the same time, and it has many places from the Seven Wonders of the World Because of its economic crisis, the prices are almost free, and it is a small country with many monuments and archaeological and religious places. The wonder does not take much time to visit all its places at the cheapest prices. 0:15 0:15
It seems to me that Markian wasn't ready to experience what it's like to be in a military family, or what it's like to experience military life from a civilian standpoint. Your military experience will impact your entire life. Through military service, you learn self-discipline, earn respect and demonstrate work ethic.
Thanks so much for highlighting the military lifestyle, what a wonderful family. Their focus on mental health and awareness of TBI is absolutely inspiring. Tobasco sauce really does make a lot of things better! 😆
Omg, I've not too long ago heard they eat food from a pkg I thought it was a joke back than when being told this because I didn't believe it. It reminds of what NASA astronauts use.
I came from a non-military family, my father did two tours in Vietnam and then wanted nothing to do with the military after that and when I came about there wasn't a lot of talking about it at all, so no biasing in either direction. Ever since I graduated high school I was always willing to pick up a rifle to defend this country, the difference is I don't really believe that has ever been actually needed in my life. Now this is not to disrespect any member of any branch of the military but my feelings are exactly what were said at the beginning on the video where they are the muscle when politicians don't get their way and that is not something I ever want to be a part of, I don't find that is protecting our Constitution at all. Events like 9/11 happened yes, and the view was to protect our country we need to kill the bad guys where they live, to me that doesn't sound much like protecting as it is assaulting, now sure the argument is you're doing it so you don't have to protect on home soil, but the reality is what happened wasn't due to lack of protection by the military it was because a thin plywood door had the shave and a hair cut knock as the level of security.
@@guidedexplosiveprojectileg9943 I wasn’t their that time but my grandma was their and she was about 13 that time and her dad had to lock all the doors in the house but he was too scared that he forgot and the after the war his house was destroyed it was sad they had to live like that for days or month then after my grandma and her mom and dad moved to a new house and life is perfect now!
Bless those men and women. They are my hero's. They protect us...they die for us. They suffer so much for all who love this country and what it stands for. Great video.
My dad was in the army my uncle was a Air Force and my grandpa was Coast Guard but my dad left when I was born but I would go to base when I seen my cousin everyone was kind I knew some and there kids think of me as there other siblings and I love that I like to take care of them to
Anyone who fights for our country is good in my books I've been wanting to serve for the past year I cant just yet but soon enough. But the people who talk shit about veterans and service members really need to be drafted or they get jail time because people in America or so rude to veterans I've seen so many videos of big groups protesting talking about there a veteran infront of a WW2 veteran or talking shit to one etc. I would love to see how they do obviously they would be dead really fast but you know what atleast they will realize how it really is to fight for your country and what you protect your enemy from getting. Its amazing that people talk shit to people in the military without even thinking of who they protect which is this whole country from terrorism from other countries taking over ours which they could you would be suprised. There are a lot of things they can do to cut alot off our food computer chips oil etc. On the other hand tho the people that do talk down on them feel as if they have a horrible life which obviously they don't they like bro almost HALF the countries in the WORLD have verry bad malnutrition problems yet there complaining about something like this or blm or other american bs we just want more and more and more thats how people in Western countries work. A lot of greed, selfishness, dont care at all if it isnt about them, denial, anger and the best of them all most of us have no clue what were talking about or want. We almost NEVER have the FULL STORY yet we speak on things as if we know what were talking about its very unhealthy. We are very flawed and its getting worse day by day. I hope this country the best but if im being honest I dont think were going to last very long we WILL end up in a civil war at the rate we are going and we all know who will win it... My side the side that thinks properly not this radicalism bs right side u guys talk about because no shi there are people like that except that the left has most of the radicalisms and crazy ass women and guys yet we are known for the radicalism right side which we dont associate with whatsoever. Im talking about the side that wants our country not to be 44% fat, the prices going down or minimum wages going up, someone who is a good leader in war because its coming, a politically known man that isnt right sided like trump and we need a speaker to get our country back together again because its amazing how spread we are atm. But even at these times I will give my life for the next war because I know my country needs everyone we can get to get the enemy away from our shores. Retreat hell
boot is gonna be one of the best/ worst times of your life. itll be whatever you make of it. if it breaks you down and you dont know how to keep going, just push yourself chow to chow. its meant to be hard, youre meant to struggle. focus on the little things, find joy in any small moment you can. try and take up a billet. make yourself important, whether it be thru guide or squad leader or even just as scribe or a whiskey pig. good luck brother, look forward to you joining the family
@@angelvazquez7970 i got full faith in you man. at the end of the day just try and have some fun, make some memories. no matter how bad it gets itll all be worth it in the end
And to think how these brave men and women who sacrificed so much congress and the current admin are talking about taking away their disability compensations.
By the way the marines with the swords are known as the color guard. Their job is to show off the national colors! If anyone has more questions about the military just let me know.
I relate so much to the guy that said he's a byproduct of an immigrant family. I forever will be grateful to what this country has allowed my family to accomplish and I will forever be proud of my service to the country! 🇺🇸🇲🇽
the battle for Ramadi is by far one of the most dangerous in modern miliary. for him to be there is a testament to his service and what he went through. navy seals talk about how extremely dangerous it was.
no offensive but how could you not know what a marine is? Besides every thing else was good amazing video you made, keep up the good work! It was also a very good learning opportunity for you. wait you aren't American right?
My Mom and Dad were in the Army National Guard and I was born at Mather Veteran Affairs Hospital in Rancho Cordova. My Brother was also Army and my Sister is in the Air Force. The Misconception about PTSD is not always dangerous to be around them. My Brother Sleepwalks the Army Drill that’s his PTSD.
I like how that one marine woman made the distinction that marines support the country, not a specific president; everyone has their own personal politics and beliefs, after all. It shows that people from all walks of life are part of the various branches of the military.
Prior service Army grunt here 11 Bang Bang. I mean people often wake up for their jobs at 6am why the surprise I laughed out loud 😂 Love the video very beautiful and subscribed!
Here is some division information I know. USMC- United States Marine Corp: The marines is very elite force of the USAF. And to be part of the USMC you must pass the training. The training is instructed by a Drill Instructors aka DI's. USAR- Uniged States Army: The army is ground based force of the army if I'm correct. And to join the USAR you must pass a Basic Combat Training (BCT) and after passing BCT you get ranked up to Private Second Class (E2). And E1 is Private if I'm correct. (I frogot)- United States Navy: The Navy is like sailors and they control submarines, ships, carriers. There are sailors and pilots, if I'm correct. Some pilots use an aircraft to land on a carrier. And the sailors is basically the "main" thing. To join you must pass the Hell Week. USAF- United States Air Force: Air force is based the Air. And there is Air combat, air education, and more. Idk anymore info but the Air force is the pilots. Btw I learned all of these just from a game.
Yeah even the enlisted one is a fine work of are, witht he gold and red chevrons and red pipeing, sergeant major of the marine corps has a smashing uniform
