1
00:00:01.159 --> 00:00:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Hey, hey, hey, I'm bad with something for you to

2
00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:08.960
<v Speaker 1>think about today.

3
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:10.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing it a little different.

4
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:17.280
<v Speaker 1>This is my little advertisement for the Armed Forces. No,

5
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:20.199
<v Speaker 1>they did not ask me to do it, but I'm

6
00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:26.800
<v Speaker 1>doing it because I believe if you are an individual

7
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:31.760
<v Speaker 1>who need a job, you don't have to settle. Okay,

8
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:35.880
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to settle. You can go into the

9
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:47.479
<v Speaker 1>Armed Forces. You got the Space Force, Air Force, Marines, Navy, Army, Coastguard.

10
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:54.560
<v Speaker 1>I hope I captured everything. Pick your choice. Don't be afraid.

11
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Don't let fear because you create fear. Don't let fear

12
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:06.159
<v Speaker 1>cause you to be an individual who should have done

13
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:08.079
<v Speaker 1>some or could have done something and didn't do it

14
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:10.879
<v Speaker 1>because you was fearful. Don't let your mama or your

15
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:15.000
<v Speaker 1>daddy's fears cause you to.

16
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:18.319
<v Speaker 2>Stay stagnant in life.

17
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Anybody could do one term four years, it's like two years.

18
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:24.439
<v Speaker 2>It goes so fast.

19
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:29.879
<v Speaker 1>You can do so many, so many things, so many

20
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:36.480
<v Speaker 1>in four years. If you get your degree, you could

21
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:43.079
<v Speaker 1>become an officer, or you can also become a warrant officer.

22
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:47.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there is so many opportunities. And do not

23
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:54.000
<v Speaker 1>go in on a mediocre job. I mean they may

24
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:57.560
<v Speaker 1>be needed, but don't settle for something you don't want.

25
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:01.840
<v Speaker 1>So study, study studies. There's a lot of material out there.

26
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Study so you could get a good job.

27
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:05.560
<v Speaker 2>So you could get a.

28
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:08.039
<v Speaker 1>Job that you want and not a job that you

29
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:11.280
<v Speaker 1>just have to take because of your score. You study

30
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:15.319
<v Speaker 1>and you get a good job. My advice would be

31
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:22.159
<v Speaker 1>go in be an officer, or if you don't want

32
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:23.360
<v Speaker 1>to be an officer.

33
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:24.879
<v Speaker 2>And you're an enlisted, you can go.

34
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:29.439
<v Speaker 1>Warrant when it's time, or you could just become a great,

35
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:36.199
<v Speaker 1>great great great NCO non commissioned officer, which is enlisted.

36
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:44.159
<v Speaker 2>But I think that everyone who is able should try it.

37
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:48.800
<v Speaker 1>I really do believe that people didn't think I were

38
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:51.240
<v Speaker 1>ever gonna make it in the military. You going into

39
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:54.439
<v Speaker 1>the military the way you hate buzz and you hate

40
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:57.759
<v Speaker 1>to get nasty and blah blah blah. I fooled them all.

41
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:02.800
<v Speaker 1>I went in and now I'm an Army retire Listen.

42
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:09.319
<v Speaker 1>It was the greatest thing I've ever done. It was

43
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:16.000
<v Speaker 1>an awesome stepping stone in my life, pivotal in my life.

44
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:18.159
<v Speaker 2>It changed my.

45
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Direction leaps and bounds, and had it not been for

46
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:30.919
<v Speaker 1>the military, I wouldn't be where I am I'm just

47
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:31.520
<v Speaker 1>being honest.

48
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:34.360
<v Speaker 2>It was a great stepping stone for me. And this

49
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:35.560
<v Speaker 2>has nothing to do.

50
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.680
<v Speaker 1>With my belief in God, because I know God is

51
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>the ultimate. Jesus's son is the ultimate in my life.

52
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.919
<v Speaker 1>But I'm just saying making the decision to join the military,

53
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:51.520
<v Speaker 1>it was the best choice I've made outside of God.

54
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.800
<v Speaker 1>But I wasn't on the level that I am now

55
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:58.800
<v Speaker 1>with Jesus, so I wasn't even thinking about it then,

56
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:06.080
<v Speaker 1>not like I do now. So there are mentors out there.

57
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:12.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm willing to be someone's mentor. Seriously, I just think

58
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:16.120
<v Speaker 1>it is not anything that should be forced toble on people.

59
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:18.879
<v Speaker 1>I think people should want to do it because it's

60
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:22.439
<v Speaker 1>a great stepping stone. You have college, you have free

61
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:25.000
<v Speaker 1>place to live, you could travel all over the world

62
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:29.480
<v Speaker 1>for free. I mean, it is a great, great opportunity.

63
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:34.480
<v Speaker 1>I heard that the Coast Guard is the best hidden secret.

64
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:36.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, this is what I heard.

65
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:38.839
<v Speaker 1>I have a first cousin who's an officer in the

66
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:41.399
<v Speaker 1>Coast Guard. He seemed to love it. But I know

67
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:44.000
<v Speaker 1>people who are in the Air Force, I know people

68
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:47.160
<v Speaker 1>who are in the I know people in all the

69
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:55.959
<v Speaker 1>forces literally, So I'm not here advocating for any of

70
00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:56.839
<v Speaker 1>the armed forces.

71
00:04:57.439 --> 00:04:58.879
<v Speaker 2>No one asked me to do this.

72
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:03.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm just doing it because a lot of people need

73
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:05.720
<v Speaker 1>to get up offer there, do.

74
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:10.639
<v Speaker 2>Nothing and do something. And it's a great opportunity. You

75
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:14.000
<v Speaker 2>can become a lawyer, you can become a doctor, you

76
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:16.079
<v Speaker 2>can become whatever you want to be.

77
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:19.600
<v Speaker 1>In that military. You just gotta go for it. If

78
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:23.920
<v Speaker 1>they're giving you free education, take it. If you like

79
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:27.600
<v Speaker 1>the travel, you can go anywhere around the world. It's

80
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:31.839
<v Speaker 1>a great opportunity. Do not allow fear to keep you

81
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:37.439
<v Speaker 1>from doing it. There is good and bad in everything. Hey,

82
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna get on here and talk about all

83
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:46.560
<v Speaker 1>of the bad, but there is bad in everything. No

84
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:49.199
<v Speaker 1>matter what job you take, there is good and bad.

85
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:55.079
<v Speaker 1>But you can do it. You can do it. You

86
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:57.279
<v Speaker 1>just have to want to do it. You have to

87
00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:02.399
<v Speaker 1>have that initiative, that drive side of you. But I'm

88
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:08.560
<v Speaker 1>telling you one thousand percent, it is a great, great, great, great, great,

89
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:14.560
<v Speaker 1>great stepping stone. And again, one time you may make

90
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:16.000
<v Speaker 1>it into two three, four men.

91
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:17.439
<v Speaker 2>You may make it into a career.

92
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:27.399
<v Speaker 1>It's a great opportunity and it sets you above the rest.

93
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Not saying it makes you better than people, but it

94
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:31.480
<v Speaker 2>sets you.

95
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Above the rest on your journey called life. And I'm

96
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:41.920
<v Speaker 1>just telling you what I know. It did it for me,

97
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:45.839
<v Speaker 1>it could do it for you, And yes, you have

98
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:49.399
<v Speaker 1>to take everything that goes with it.

99
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:53.120
<v Speaker 2>You sign on. There's a possibility that you may have

100
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:58.040
<v Speaker 2>to go down range, which could be in a word zone.

101
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:04.040
<v Speaker 2>There's that possibility, but there's a possibility you won't. But

102
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:05.720
<v Speaker 2>you always got to take the good with.

103
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:10.240
<v Speaker 1>The bad, and I think the good outweighs the bad

104
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:15.160
<v Speaker 1>by far. You have good people in the military, you

105
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:17.879
<v Speaker 1>have bad people in the military, just like any other job.

106
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:25.160
<v Speaker 1>But again, I would encourage people who are able to

107
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:27.360
<v Speaker 1>do it to do it because it could set you

108
00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:31.360
<v Speaker 1>up for life, for real in a good way. And

109
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:33.839
<v Speaker 1>it's just a stepping stone. You don't have to stay there.

110
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:41.160
<v Speaker 2>It's an honor, it really is. And I mean, I

111
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:44.199
<v Speaker 2>don't know why I'm even on here talking about it.

112
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:47.199
<v Speaker 2>It's just something that came to me just out of

113
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:51.279
<v Speaker 2>the blue. Get on here and do a segment on

114
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:59.000
<v Speaker 2>joining the armed forces. If it's something you're interested in,

115
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:03.920
<v Speaker 2>research it, research it. If you have questions, reach out

116
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:08.000
<v Speaker 2>to me. I will answer any question you have. And

117
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:10.360
<v Speaker 2>if I don't know I'll get the answer and let

118
00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:15.639
<v Speaker 2>you know. Just do it for you.

119
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:19.120
<v Speaker 1>And I know some parents all don't want my job

120
00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:22.879
<v Speaker 1>to go to the military, and I understand. I have

121
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:26.519
<v Speaker 1>two daughters, boths went into the military, so I understand.

122
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:33.519
<v Speaker 1>But it's a great opportunity. It could be a stepping stone.

123
00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:36.919
<v Speaker 1>It does not have to be an obstacle. Some people

124
00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:39.639
<v Speaker 1>get in and they miss mom and dad, they miss home.

125
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:41.279
<v Speaker 2>And all of that. You gotta grow up.

126
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:46.879
<v Speaker 1>You gotta put on them big girl panties and them

127
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:51.240
<v Speaker 1>big drawers, them big boy drawers, and keep it moving

128
00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:54.080
<v Speaker 1>because your life is your life, and you need to

129
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:57.480
<v Speaker 1>be an individual who want the best that you can

130
00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:00.919
<v Speaker 1>have and be the best you can be, be better

131
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:04.639
<v Speaker 1>than what you came from.

132
00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:08.039
<v Speaker 2>And it's not for everyone, but you don't even know

133
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:08.919
<v Speaker 2>until you try.

134
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:13.039
<v Speaker 1>You have to go in with a good mindset, go

135
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:17.720
<v Speaker 1>in with the idea of becoming the best you can be.

136
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:23.480
<v Speaker 2>It gives you structure and discipline. I mean, it's great,

137
00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:29.879
<v Speaker 2>and that's all I'm saying. I've said this too plenty relatives.

138
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:34.639
<v Speaker 2>It didn't work. But you know, when you.

139
00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Look at your life and you see that repetition and

140
00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:44.000
<v Speaker 1>that cycle that you continuously.

141
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:45.320
<v Speaker 2>On and you haven't gotten any better.

142
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:50.519
<v Speaker 1>Maybe the armed forces will be a good choice.

143
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:54.320
<v Speaker 2>So that's all I'm saying is up to you. I

144
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:57.559
<v Speaker 2>hope you listen, and if you don't, that's fine. It's

145
00:09:57.600 --> 00:09:58.120
<v Speaker 2>your life.

146
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Hey do you boo? I'm leaving it right there. Thank

147
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:05.919
<v Speaker 1>you for listening. Much love in every episode to save

148
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:07.879
<v Speaker 1>in our hope.

149
00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:11.279
<v Speaker 2>Do you do it? Thank on it
