Sorry that you got hurt on a jump. Yes as Paratroopers we have more balls than brains. I feel that we even during training from Airborne School to training jumps night or day we give our lives far more than an average infantryman during peace time or pre-deployment to combat. We are guys who are highly dedicated to our nation as America's sons to defend and fight. We sacrifice our bodies to jump out of airplanes just to prepare for combat, no one can ask more from a Paratrooper to where he stands. Not everyone who wants to be a Paratrooper ever becomes one. We are an elite group of people who have done more than others to include when going to combat. I am truly proud to whom I am. I did the Panama Invasion and my 2 year combat tour in Iraq and 25 jumps before all that. I did jump out of my own money and travel time to Texas for my reunions 3 more times to jump out of a WWII C-47 just to enjoy the old comradery of being a Paratrooper again in the beginning of my 50s again. I am calling it quits for me because it's time for me to get out of my head to get off jump status. I thank you for telling me to stop jumping... 👍👍👍🤟🤟🤟🤘🤘🤘

goood man he didnt embelish his deployments thats a solid dude right there

His story is so similar to my own. Basic, duty station 25th I.D 11c . Then deployment, then hospital 2 back surgeries later medically discharged. 5 years. If I couldn't be infantry then I didnt want to stay in. I to was going for soldier of the year and selection, Ranger school was my next step. Man we have alot in common.

Nice one, could you guys redo upload the Briones one? KZread censored it

I relate bro found out I had scoliosis after deployment ..fuck garrison bro its toxic just drinking but much love

I served with Blevins! He was only with us for a week or two

Medical retirement isnt as fun as people our age think.

I feel exactly like he felt, useless, hurt and useless!! I never could have imagined that a shoulder injury could make me feel like this. I am trying to find myself, I know this isn’t going to be forever, but right now it is really killing me inside. I’m one sentence he said exactly how I am feeling right now.

Dont feel bad my friend in my mind you are a good person strong and loyal You joined the armed forces to protect your homeland many wont theyre selfish Vets are i have found to be good people with respect and values Your valuable to the people who love you Your a vet but being a vet dosnt define who you are I realise that the army means a great deal to vets they are your family and the feeling of betrayal when they throw you aside as though your worthless is soul breaking But you have a chance to make yourself a newperson a success at anything you want to do or be Dont let the black hile swallow you up there is a way iut for you just look around and find it My heart felt love and gratitude to all veterans you all rock

You've given all for our Country. Doesn't matter about bad breaks....you gave it all. It is so refreshing to see a Vet with a healthy, realistic balance sharing your experiences. Thank You

C'mon, don't throw out music that beautiful, and not tell us where or how to find it again. Can you give us a source please? These videos just keep getting better and better.

We don't look at you that way as a broken crippled veteran, we look at you totally different than you guys think, we see, closest I could say is like a rock star- cross -Incredible Hulk, all we first see is I am not as strong as you, and your impressive..WOW just wow, so please don't think that way guys its only in your mind not ours..

I love these videos. They have provided some much needed insight into how I should handle mental and emotional problems. Truly remarkable stories and dialogue from these men. Keep it up guys!

Best description of the med board that I've ever heard

Good work, Brian, keep em coming.

Hooah brother

My story is similar to his and I have almost the exact same feelings except I never got to do it cause I got shit on by all branches because my DUI’s. It was my lifelong dream too from when I was a young boy. Still is at 30 years old and I’d give anything to be able to join.

My story was the same. Except I've seen plenty of combat

Would of thought that the military, would of found your blood disorder AT THE START of your service.
