So my hat goes off to you Ninja your a good man ad allways hold your head high brother

Stand up guy

Good stuff man

Still feel like it was a sacrifice

God bless be safe you are true human being

Damn. That's rough dude. I'd say that's the worst age to lose even one parent. Glad you're going strong. 🇬🇧🇺🇲

Wow, that's a lot to go through as a child. But, it looks like you became strong through it all.

Sounds like your mom should have Never Quit.

This will probably sound goofy, but I had no clue how bad brain tumors were until I had one at 22 when my daughter just turned 4. I shouldn't say I didn't know how bad they are, but didn't know a whole lot about them. I thought it was something that only happened to older people with cancer. Mine was the size of a golf ball and was lodged between my optic nerve and my pituitary gland. I started getting really nasty nose bleeds during PT and getting super clumsy and uncoordinated, then numb tingles on the entire left side of my body. The doctor initially sent me to get lab work and to the allergy specialist and she said that there was no sign of it being related to allergy, and I was sent to an eye doctor who saw my optic nerve looked odd on my left eye. Literally walking out of the doctors office I collapsed into a seizure and hit the corner of my head on the curb in the parking lot. When I came to in the hospital I was In so much pain and freaking out so bad because my arms and ankles were strapped to keep me from falling out of the bed with the extreme seizures I was having. Within 20 minutes of waking up to a room full of nurses and doctors, I was almost immediately informed that my Marine Corps career was basically over and then was informed of the brain tumor. I have never been so crushed in my entire life like I was then. I absolutely truly loved the Marine Corps (believe it or not) every single bit of it and I was preparing myself to go as far as I can with it. I just couldn't accept that this was happening to me, I was in the best shape, every part of my life was planned and dedicated to my career and I just kept thinking "this can't be happening to me, they must be wrong, I'm not even old so how is this happening? I'm screwed, this can't be happening to me". I was told that I would lose function of the left side of my body and eventually won't be able to use my left side at all, and I wouldn't be able to have children and that I would be fully dependent on a wheelchair at some point in the next few years. Well, after months of being in the ICU at the university of Cincinnati hospital after they removed the tumor, I have a daughter and a son now, I worked my body back up to being able to jog and then full run and then playing sports again with my son now. I let myself sink so incredibly far down into depression for a while and allowed myself to become addicted to the pain medication and that led to even worse stronger things that involved needles (I'm sure you get the point). I let things get so bad and neglected my marriage, my role as a father and just got so extremely sick that I went from a healthy 6ft 210lbs Marine to a 140lbs heroin addict within a two year period. I'm very embarrassed that I let things take me out like that. I thought I was invincible for such a long time and never expected for anything to happen to me like that. I'm now at a point where I'm completely free of my addictions and run daily and am continuing to lift weights and eating healthy again. Although I'm not the young devil dog that I used to be, I'm not the useless lump of clay that so many doctors told me I would be. I currently live just outside of Cincinnati, directly on the Ohio River where I grew up, on the Kentucky side lol. I saved my marriage and have been with my wife for almost 20 years, my children are doing outstanding in school, my daughter is 16 and my son is 8 and they are both jammed full of the competitive genes that I had and are full of the fire, gasoline and vinegar that pushed me through some extremely dark times and some of the worst things are things that I can't speak about on here, lol. Now I spend a lot of time volunteering at the veterans hospital in Cincinnati and try to spend as much time as I can helping my brothers and sisters who need an ear to listen to them and I help the families the best I can. Most importantly though, I continue my relationship with Jesus, which I always have had. I credit him in everything I do because of everything he has done for me and continues to do for me, my family and the strangers who I have never met but still consider my brothers and sisters. I know that a lot of people tune out as soon as someone starts to speak about God, so I just wanted to plant a seed in the mind of people who haven't considered a relationship with him. He exists whether you believe in him or not, speak to him and give yourself a chance. Sorry for the long comment, everyone. Be safe out there, remember that there are people and a God who love you and all you have to do is accept it. I love my brothers and sisters and that means every single one of the people who will read this. I pray for every one of you. Semper fi

They eluded to that at the end of the podcast so I think he already knew at this time that he would be training him

He is living the dream and did.

@manobal bajwa why dont you do something about it pussy!

He already trained Keanu Reeves before this podcast you idiot

@manobal bajwa they all did that stuff alittle while ago now. You sound like a spoiled clingy girlfriend. When your balls do drop perhaps you owe some goddamn apologies to some goddamn war heroes. I suggest you unfuck yourself sharpish. Cheers fuckstick

That cat scene. Ill never forget it. Just BANG......is it dead?

It's a real pleasure, Thank you

I can't thank you, and all of our Service members for that matter, enough for your service.

Not really. Too much worshipping of seals. They aren't that great.

C N 🖕🏼

@@CN-wt2bj everybody has an opinion but anybody that has been shot at or spilled blood so i can sleep in peace at night and go to the mall with my gf and come home and watch NFL football is pretty cool to me. Im also a Navy vet so id rather watch this than some reality tv show. As a crewman id like to see more helicopters but that is just a suggestion. Lol

Yes it is. The Patriot too.

Agree

Talked with vets on the 57th anniversary. They said that opening beach scene was how it was

2nd half of full metal jacket was sick too.

Uh no. Good try, though.

Fred Rogers was never a SEAL he was color blind

@@amyross4726 He never served in the military period.

Even funnier when you realize that the first minute of this pod is them talking about John wick

People will never understand how fucking demanding a hospital floor can be until they do it ive been in similar situations myself. good shit.

I worked as a Nurses aid from 1997 to 2012, it's not a easy job. I just got to old to do the work. Well done, keep up the good work, it takes a special person to do it.

Sammy Sam been there done it. Much respect

hows your journey with your businesses going?!

KD S thank you for listening

I feel like every dudes yo. Specially these guys who went to war zones. They’ve seen shit.

Keep at it. Fight those demons

Colby Africa Fuck yeah! Keep it up, wish you a long and joyous life.

@@TheEvilbunny150 Just had my MRI a month ago. All is green across the board. Ready to roll :-)

@09infintig37x Roget that! Oscar Mike.

Hope you’re still kickin, brotha. Never quit. 🤘

@@jordanmoser7908 Just one point on my of my tests and I am considered ServePro: Like it never even happened. Thanks brother!

How ya doin now man? Keeping on keeping on I hope 💪

Keep after it man. 26 years sober here after a fifth a day for over a decade. I quit drinking a dozen times before I stayed quit. 1) The first six months are the hardest. 2) You've only failed if you've stopped **trying** to stay sober. 3) Fill the time you used to use for drinking with things you enjoy doing.

@@duxdawg 4 years now and Still sober

SadSam the shot that started it all, if that’s how it went because I haven’t read the book.

GabrielFranco Yeah thats how it happened..... Marcus had a supressor on his rifle so they did not know exactly where he was.

Same here !!!!!

Thanks for listening Brett.

Haha

I'm 99% sure Marcus would tell you to switch him up in your list unless you want his prewar body. These guys don't complain much but trust me he has some issues after all the hard driving and trauma he's been through in the teams.

Marcus’ body prewar: 6’5 and all stone. Now he’s in constant pain. He says it’s the reason he’s got a “dad bod” now.....He has nothing to be ashamed of!

I wish I was rut but had Shawn as my bud

Myopathy quasar wizardry
