Nah just the USA. I want to see him do the same in a third world nations armed forces, just to show how they do things with less equipment.
Seeing that 2nd ID soldier giving the little afghani girl skittles in the infantry museum gave me cold chills. In 2009-10 during my first deployment with 2nd ID I cant tell you how many times the little kids would run up to us asking for skittles or whatever candy we had on us to snack on. I always carried a couple bags of skittles on me and I just found it so special that the army has a display to show everyone one of the little things that brought smiles to our faces during the war.
Colonel BATTLE?!?! Seriously?! ha Caught Michele's vid before getting here, so glad y'all had the experience! I'll always love my experience in the Army, & I'm actually still a part of! Veterans benefits have already helped me with school & employment...soon, it'll help me with obtaining a home! Keep on keepin on y'all! Love what y'all do 😁

It was great! My thanks to you and the other veterans being ready and serving! Would love to see more videos like this!
I’ve been watching you for 5 years now crazy to see how far you have come congrats Austin well deserved.
Fort Benning, home of the Infantry!!
Love your honest attitude 🙂, good for you 😊🙂, thank you for your service in the military Austin
Epic video man! Joining the Army 14 years ago was the best decision I ever made it my life. I'm 6 years from retirement. Got a few tours under my belt. The Army has provided so many opportunities. I have to say I'm a little jealous you got to jump with the Golden Knights but keep the great videos coming man! ✊🏼
Austen and Michelle, Great effort; winners both. Airborne. Go Army!
Great Video Austen, wish they would have gave you a chance to do the Darby Queen and Malvesti Course at Camp Rogers there at Ranger School at Benning. Those towers at Airborne School brought back old memories, glad they gave you the opportunity to jump out of them. Enjoyed the tandem skydive with the U.S. Army Golden Knights, they are awesome and very professional. Thanks again for the awesome video!
Great video, much respect for all the Army personnel who made this happen and kept you both safe. You are an inspiration Austen!
Im in the Army and I’ve been watching your videos for the past couple years !! This video was so cool!
Be All You Can Be, In the Army. Confidence Course is a physical and mental challenge. Those Sergeants are the Best of the Best that you never forget.
Thanks to all for their service.
s tier video! I hope more branches see the potential these videos have for inspiring other men and women to join or at least get them thinking. This is sure to bring more videos from other branches straight to you brother! -13-year (and counting) USAF guy
I couldn't help but tear up on the obstacle course segment when the legacy comment was made about the trenches. My late husband went to Ft. Benning at 17. I'd love to see the museum, too. Thanks for sharing with us! Showing this to our sons.
Went through Ft. Benning back in 1986. I went through Basic and Infantry AIT then also graduated from Airborne School. The start of my adventure in life...
A few kids fell on the weaver in BCT it was pretty funny. They had to do it again lmao. Good times. Wish you guys had to do PLFs as well. I also loved the obstacle courses and team building obstacles where u have to problem solve.
I finished Infantry osut 5 months ago and I love seeing all the places you’ve been to because I’ve been there, it really is a rite of passage walking the path that those before you have walked

Wow what an incredible video👍Glad you got to sky dive 👍
Crazy seeing it from a different outside view and then looking back to when you did it and hated it but it’s just so cool. 2-19 💪🏽
On the wall at Benning back in 2004 we had to tie our own knots for the harness for the rope rappel.
The drill sgt pushing too is motivating
I remember doing this stuff when I was 19 looking back basic was a lot of fun. Sand hill was no joke but a lot of good memories there the follow up with airborne school I oddly look back at ft Benning with a lot of good memories wound up being stationed right around the block from the golden knights headquarters with 2/505PIR at Ft.Bragg
