Speaker 1: Hey, hey, hey, I'm bad with something for you to
Speaker 1: think about today.
Speaker 2: I'm doing it a little different.
Speaker 1: This is my little advertisement for the Armed Forces. No,
Speaker 1: they did not ask me to do it, but I'm
Speaker 1: doing it because I believe if you are an individual
Speaker 1: who need a job, you don't have to settle. Okay,
Speaker 1: you don't have to settle. You can go into the
Speaker 1: Armed Forces. You got the Space Force, Air Force, Marines, Navy, Army, Coastguard.
Speaker 1: I hope I captured everything. Pick your choice. Don't be afraid.
Speaker 1: Don't let fear because you create fear. Don't let fear
Speaker 1: cause you to be an individual who should have done
Speaker 1: some or could have done something and didn't do it
Speaker 1: because you was fearful. Don't let your mama or your
Speaker 1: daddy's fears cause you to.
Speaker 2: Stay stagnant in life.
Speaker 1: Anybody could do one term four years, it's like two years.
Speaker 2: It goes so fast.
Speaker 1: You can do so many, so many things, so many
Speaker 1: in four years. If you get your degree, you could
Speaker 1: become an officer, or you can also become a warrant officer.
Speaker 1: I mean, there is so many opportunities. And do not
Speaker 1: go in on a mediocre job. I mean they may
Speaker 1: be needed, but don't settle for something you don't want.
Speaker 1: So study, study studies. There's a lot of material out there.
Speaker 1: Study so you could get a good job.
Speaker 2: So you could get a.
Speaker 1: Job that you want and not a job that you
Speaker 1: just have to take because of your score. You study
Speaker 1: and you get a good job. My advice would be
Speaker 1: go in be an officer, or if you don't want
Speaker 1: to be an officer.
Speaker 2: And you're an enlisted, you can go.
Speaker 1: Warrant when it's time, or you could just become a great,
Speaker 1: great great great NCO non commissioned officer, which is enlisted.
Speaker 2: But I think that everyone who is able should try it.
Speaker 1: I really do believe that people didn't think I were
Speaker 1: ever gonna make it in the military. You going into
Speaker 1: the military the way you hate buzz and you hate
Speaker 1: to get nasty and blah blah blah. I fooled them all.
Speaker 1: I went in and now I'm an Army retire Listen.
Speaker 1: It was the greatest thing I've ever done. It was
Speaker 1: an awesome stepping stone in my life, pivotal in my life.
Speaker 2: It changed my.
Speaker 1: Direction leaps and bounds, and had it not been for
Speaker 1: the military, I wouldn't be where I am I'm just
Speaker 1: being honest.
Speaker 2: It was a great stepping stone for me. And this
Speaker 2: has nothing to do.
Speaker 1: With my belief in God, because I know God is
Speaker 1: the ultimate. Jesus's son is the ultimate in my life.
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying making the decision to join the military,
Speaker 1: it was the best choice I've made outside of God.
Speaker 1: But I wasn't on the level that I am now
Speaker 1: with Jesus, so I wasn't even thinking about it then,
Speaker 1: not like I do now. So there are mentors out there.
Speaker 1: I'm willing to be someone's mentor. Seriously, I just think
Speaker 1: it is not anything that should be forced toble on people.
Speaker 1: I think people should want to do it because it's
Speaker 1: a great stepping stone. You have college, you have free
Speaker 1: place to live, you could travel all over the world
Speaker 1: for free. I mean, it is a great, great opportunity.
Speaker 1: I heard that the Coast Guard is the best hidden secret.
Speaker 2: I don't know, this is what I heard.
Speaker 1: I have a first cousin who's an officer in the
Speaker 1: Coast Guard. He seemed to love it. But I know
Speaker 1: people who are in the Air Force, I know people
Speaker 1: who are in the I know people in all the
Speaker 1: forces literally, So I'm not here advocating for any of
Speaker 1: the armed forces.
Speaker 2: No one asked me to do this.
Speaker 1: I'm just doing it because a lot of people need
Speaker 1: to get up offer there, do.
Speaker 2: Nothing and do something. And it's a great opportunity. You
Speaker 2: can become a lawyer, you can become a doctor, you
Speaker 2: can become whatever you want to be.
Speaker 1: In that military. You just gotta go for it. If
Speaker 1: they're giving you free education, take it. If you like
Speaker 1: the travel, you can go anywhere around the world. It's
Speaker 1: a great opportunity. Do not allow fear to keep you
Speaker 1: from doing it. There is good and bad in everything. Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get on here and talk about all
Speaker 1: of the bad, but there is bad in everything. No
Speaker 1: matter what job you take, there is good and bad.
Speaker 1: But you can do it. You can do it. You
Speaker 1: just have to want to do it. You have to
Speaker 1: have that initiative, that drive side of you. But I'm
Speaker 1: telling you one thousand percent, it is a great, great, great, great, great,
Speaker 1: great stepping stone. And again, one time you may make
Speaker 1: it into two three, four men.
Speaker 2: You may make it into a career.
Speaker 1: It's a great opportunity and it sets you above the rest.
Speaker 2: Not saying it makes you better than people, but it
Speaker 2: sets you.
Speaker 1: Above the rest on your journey called life. And I'm
Speaker 1: just telling you what I know. It did it for me,
Speaker 1: it could do it for you, And yes, you have
Speaker 1: to take everything that goes with it.
Speaker 2: You sign on. There's a possibility that you may have
Speaker 2: to go down range, which could be in a word zone.
Speaker 2: There's that possibility, but there's a possibility you won't. But
Speaker 2: you always got to take the good with.
Speaker 1: The bad, and I think the good outweighs the bad
Speaker 1: by far. You have good people in the military, you
Speaker 1: have bad people in the military, just like any other job.
Speaker 1: But again, I would encourage people who are able to
Speaker 1: do it to do it because it could set you
Speaker 1: up for life, for real in a good way. And
Speaker 1: it's just a stepping stone. You don't have to stay there.
Speaker 2: It's an honor, it really is. And I mean, I
Speaker 2: don't know why I'm even on here talking about it.
Speaker 2: It's just something that came to me just out of
Speaker 2: the blue. Get on here and do a segment on
Speaker 2: joining the armed forces. If it's something you're interested in,
Speaker 2: research it, research it. If you have questions, reach out
Speaker 2: to me. I will answer any question you have. And
Speaker 2: if I don't know I'll get the answer and let
Speaker 2: you know. Just do it for you.
Speaker 1: And I know some parents all don't want my job
Speaker 1: to go to the military, and I understand. I have
Speaker 1: two daughters, boths went into the military, so I understand.
Speaker 1: But it's a great opportunity. It could be a stepping stone.
Speaker 1: It does not have to be an obstacle. Some people
Speaker 1: get in and they miss mom and dad, they miss home.
Speaker 2: And all of that. You gotta grow up.
Speaker 1: You gotta put on them big girl panties and them
Speaker 1: big drawers, them big boy drawers, and keep it moving
Speaker 1: because your life is your life, and you need to
Speaker 1: be an individual who want the best that you can
Speaker 1: have and be the best you can be, be better
Speaker 1: than what you came from.
Speaker 2: And it's not for everyone, but you don't even know
Speaker 2: until you try.
Speaker 1: You have to go in with a good mindset, go
Speaker 1: in with the idea of becoming the best you can be.
Speaker 2: It gives you structure and discipline. I mean, it's great,
Speaker 2: and that's all I'm saying. I've said this too plenty relatives.
Speaker 2: It didn't work. But you know, when you.
Speaker 1: Look at your life and you see that repetition and
Speaker 1: that cycle that you continuously.
Speaker 2: On and you haven't gotten any better.
Speaker 1: Maybe the armed forces will be a good choice.
Speaker 2: So that's all I'm saying is up to you. I
Speaker 2: hope you listen, and if you don't, that's fine. It's
Speaker 2: your life.
Speaker 1: Hey do you boo? I'm leaving it right there. Thank
Speaker 1: you for listening. Much love in every episode to save
Speaker 1: in our hope.
Speaker 2: Do you do it? Thank on it
