That is the best decision you ever did in your entire life is to move yourself forward with your life boot camps going to teach you everything you need to know about getting up put your boots on and going through the day your day is going to come when you're putting your boots on yourself and making life for yourself

Getting out is one of the best decisions I’ve made man. You’re going to have SO MUCH MORE FREEDOM. Keep yourself busy man I still stumbled with depression and identity crises’. I’m so happy for you doing this man keep it up! INSPIRING.

For you and everyone getting out, this is for you. Thank you very much for your service, you are amazing. Please keep in touch with others just like you, be they friends from your service days or other service members in your new home area. Keep in touch because you are going to go through some feelings that you might think are your's and your's alone, but they are not. Many of us go through many of the same feelings. Seek help long before you need it too, because you just might help someone who responds. Respect always.

Yo that’s what I was thinking him and Chris Evans look so similar

Whether you stay or go is totally up to you, Your videos brought me and my son (also an MA at Point Loma) together and encouraged him to join the navy. You have been a positive influence on many and I give you all the credit for that accomplishment. That being said, situations and circumstances change quickly, I got out and a really bad situation took everything away and I have been rebuilding since. So many I served with retired and now they are the ones able to be there and help out my son with the stability that the retirement gives. I look back on the year I would have retired and kicked myself. I am now making less then I made 25 years ago in this economy with no retirement and the benefits that come with it. Lastly, I know everyone changes however in my view you have done a lot of changing this last year, some of it has been concerning to put it mildly. A boatswain mate would say ya done gone Hollywood! but what I really mean is in the beginning I could see how much enjoyment you got out of helping others and now at times it comes across that this is simply you promoting you and using whatever tool you need to get a desired outcome (which is very common in todays society,). Not so much about helping inspire others and that is a little sad.

Man you’re looking forward to leaving and I’m looking forward to join ahaha, much love tho man!

I’d love to see him pick up acting. It be cool to see Austin on the big screen. He has that personality

I just want to say I've enjoyed your videos very much and I thank you for your service! You've paid your dues, served our military, done a great job and you deserve freedom and happiness.
