Kudos to you Mark, you sure are on a roll. You’ve had a lot of good folks on your show. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for your service, I joined the Military 1973 and I was on the Evac. off the coast of Cambodia. "Operation Eagle Pull was May 1975 Vietnam Ended. USMC Ret. I am planning on moving abroad myself.

When I met my husband in 1987 he was stationed in Yokusuka Japan Naval Base. They would come to the Philippines to have their ship repaired as it was cheaper to do it there than in Japan. It was one of those visits that we met.

He is so humble. lots yrs and stuff he has done well. Total respect. pacing himself well

Good luck! Thank you, Americans, for coming back to the Philippines. You can do small business here, raise your family, help our country from foreign interference. USA is imperfect but your country is our best available ally these interesting times.

Respect to a fellow Veteran. Bob. Infantry Veteran. New Zealand. 1960s.

Excellent interview Bob had an amazing life, I hope that he finds a companion soon.

I was stationed in S Korea, Camp Walker, Taegu, back in the mid 70's and looking at KZfaq videos today, Camp Walker is unrecognizable. Yes, Korea was still developing back then and their taxi cab bodies were made in Korea and engines manufactured in Japan. Today, the entire car is made in Korea, and their tech industry is another story.

The term "Third World" arose during the Cold War and it was used to define countries that remained non-aligned with either NATO or the Warsaw Pact.

A little older here in VN in 68-70, then off to college in Colorado.

I'm Filipina, born in the Philippines, and I have served 20 years of full active duty in USAF, retired 2 years ago. Im not ready to move to Philippines.

Welcome Kenneth in the Philippine I'm like you I traveled a lot but covid got me stoked here in the Philippine couldn't travel now because of covid but I really enjoy here with this warm weather and rainy days.hope to be traveling soon again.

Excellent interview concur on the military never leaving you. It helped me in my transition into the private sector I don't complain and keep on grinding. Retired USN engine room supervisor currently employed as a lead engineer ( shift supervisor ) at a utility plant. I often wonder how my life would have played out no regrets would serve again. A Antonio Long Island N.Y. last of the middle class

Joining the Military is a great way to go. So many people are against it...even me At first....but, once I was in the flow of International travel plus duties...I Was just totally hooked on it...God Bless America 🇺🇸

Nice meeting you today Mark!

When time you had interview of your guest I admire much because they answered sincere and you have a good vibes to them the way you have questions.Good job sir .I'm fun watching your vlogs.

This is a quality man👍. I hope he find a nice woman 👍

It is easy to see that he has his act together

Thank you Kenneth for your service. Another interesting guest. All the best to you and Jen.

I was a US Army Military Policeman in Pusan South Korea (Hialeah Compound) from 1977 to 1980 as a member of the 552nd Military Police Company. I remember guiding US Marines thru Pusan for Team Spirit many times over that time period. I also remember one of the Marine Battalions getting lost one year. I retired after 20 years from the US Army in 1995. I will be in Dumaguete in early May to visit and would love to meet this gentlemen. Hoo Rah!

Salute to Kenneth, more success to his retirement journey.

Regards from Palawan!

I have travelled a lot over the years to Europe UK Ireland, China and Japan so I have the worldly exposure you need to adapt and being flexible durin gmy working years meant a lot of diffeent locations in Australia ( not military but Gov) so moving a lot teaches you to get organised and be responsive and settle in a new town or city easily is a learned skill just like the military have to adapt and fit in where ever they are posted.. I enjoyed this story a lot and I think the guu will do well here too.

Just to let you know, the wooden crate that I made to ship measured 40x 50x8 inches when done and Atlas International charged 203usd for freight.

congrats ,wow 61k souls already and counting !

this guy looks like a actor, always plays the general. anyone can remember the name?

Fabulous guest

Interesting interview 👍 Mark

41:03 this is very profound to me and so true. The future is uncertain and the end is near.

I was in 3rd Recon Onna point, Okinawa from August 1977 to March 1979. We maybe crossed paths.

Being born poor in the bottom of NC and living country all my life prepared me

6:57 You're probably referring to Jesse Jackson

I’m probably in the minority but I had a hard time following Kenneth’s military and work career. I’d need a flow chart. Lol Would have loved to heard more about his dating experiences in all these interesting places he’s lived

Hey Mark, I am just dropping a suggestion for an interview I would like to see. Paul from the you tube channel “World Zoom” would be an interesting to see you interview him. He lives in Dumaguete and has been in ground zero before. I will drop him the suggestion as well.

so interesting

I think that man has a heart decease...I hope you advice him sir to go in the neatest doctor...

Every man has a story ..great sharing po happy weekend

19,000 Thai Baht is $545.00 USA dollars. Maybe he meant 1,900 Thai Baht

Jessie Jackson.

Enjoyed that interview, Going to Army and Marine Corp basic trainings, that must have been fun, He's fortunate he didn't have to go to Air Force Basic training, that is the hardest of all the services, meanest TI's of them all. I joined in 76 and did 23 years. My dad was a retired Marine, I was born on Camp Pendleton back in 56 and grew up in Oceanside. I called him when I signed up for the AF and he said that's good son as I would never make it in the Corp. Anyway he had me late in his life and he told me about his time in the Philippians, he was transferred there with the 4th Marine regiment from China in the summer of 41, and was there when the Japanese attacked. He got called to his orderly room and was told he was going to Corregidor to be assigned to Dugout Dugs Marine body guard. After Dug left and went to Australia my dad was captured by the Japanese and sent to Japan as a POW on one of the hell ships. He was at Kawasaki Camp 2B for the entire war until his release. I would like to visit the Philippians and go to the island where he was captured and see what it was like.

I want his baby. 🌈😜

Seems that whatever state Mark’s guest has lived in, Mark has lived in as well. j/k 😜😜😜

It would ha e been interesting to know how he managed to work in Yangoon while there was bloody riot and then after during the Military Ju ta. He must have had important connection there.

I suggest you join your guest in the camera to make them feel more comfortable.

give that man a cough drop

Not trying to be a Karen but... how did he transport Buddhist symbols out of Thailand, it's illegal 😳 enjoyed the interview, interesting man and life.

AATW!

thailand is way better than philppines. go to thailand and u wont regret it

20 years living like a rat.

Side question: does KZfaq pay you at American rates or Philippine rates? If I understand correctly, monetization is very different depending on the country. How does that work in your case? Are you paid according to where you’re living now, or what country you’re a citizen of, or something else?

I did 28 years pal. A whopping $1300 a month after taxes--when I turn 60. Waste…of time. Would have been way ahead had I just learned a trade. 11B as well sir. Even earned the EIB. Was deployed for “Operation Garden Plot” for the LA Riots. That and 50 cents will get me half a cup of coffee at McDonalds.

My buddy Chin Lee wandered off from the pack once while in Korea with a chick that was dressed up like a school girl. He ended up getting rolled. Found him passed out later that night on “Hooker Hill”. 🤦🏻
