I’d like to hear your thoughts on people entering the military in their 30s I’m sure you saw it how’d they they’re entering the military at an older age is fine you got maturity you got experience you got intelligence and so that’s good you’re gonna bring a lot to the table however you also have maturity experience and intelligence so the only downfall of it is you got to do some dumb stuff when you’re in the military and and and if you’re older and you see how dumb some of the stuff that you’re doing is yeah it’s gonna be harder for you to do it you’re gonna have a little bit of a negative attitude on if you allow yourself it’d be easy to say that if you allow yourself it’d be easy to develop a negative attitude about that stuff I joined when I was 18 years old I didn’t care you want me to do whatever you want me to do I’ll do it I didn’t see the stupidity and a lot of stuff and so I think that’s the only drawback because you’ll just be looking at some of the stuff that you do in the military thinking oh I this is much more efficient way to do this and if you let that get to you it’s gonna be problematic so go in there with an open mind do the crap the the tedious and kind of mindless stuff that you got to do and push through that and then you’ll get to a position of leadership and you can do your best to mitigate that and take care of other soldiers sailors airmen and Marines while you’re out there serving the country so yeah it’s awesome it’s great you’ll you’ll be a big benefit do you think that that even that how you’re saying like okay you’ll you’ll you kind of look at things in more of an adult way kind of thing where it’s I call this more efficient way to do something do you think that that mindset would kind of keep you from you know being more cohesive do with if you allow it to it definitely will if you if you that’s what I said you have to allow if you just go look this is this is the way it is right now I’m a be one in the military they’re telling me to do this thing it doesn’t make any sense right now I’m gonna do it to the best of my ability and move forward if you say all this is stupid and you spread the negativity the other guys know why are we doing this yeah it’s gonna be problematic some going there have a good attitude you can promote really quickly if you’re squared away like that you know so you got a good opportunity out of you under this I think it’s totally good to go what about even like socially you know like can i oh yeah these kids are 18 you’ve been out in the world you’ve had a job you probably have a house you might have kids these kids are I was out of high school like you know what I mean it’s you’re not there yet you’re and you think about what you know when you’re that age compared to what when you sit when you’re thirty yeah you know my big things I tell my kids all the time you know or like my oldest daughter who’s in college and whatnot and I’m always like when I was your age I was my first seal platoon you know like you just can’t even compete with what I was doing the responsibility that I had when I was 18 years old you know all that stuff um but but the truth is when you’re 18 you’re not as mature as you are when you’re 30 so yeah there’ll be a social disconnect like I went to college when I was I think I was 28 or 29 or 30 and so yeah I was around kids that were 18 19 years old and I realized very quickly then you know you’d meet some mature kids but a lot of kids were just they’re just young yeah I mean there’s not a big difference between 18 and 15 for some people right yeah you think about what you were doing you were 15 years old 16 years old like I joined the military so luckily I had some kind of structure imposed upon me yeah but you think about the kind of stuff that you can do when you’re 18 years old people do dumb dumb dumb stuff yeah you you you look back and you’re happy that you made it you dumb dumb stuff yeah no we’re talking about wasting your time on YouTube videos go waste your time on YouTube like just put in Latino teenagers doing dumb stuff and you’ll you’ll say wow and in 50% of the stuff that you see you’ll recognize yeah oh yeah I remember that so yeah don’t do dumb stuff and it has a 30 year old in the military you can help give some of that guidance to people so I think it’s cool go for it man and kind of vice versa right because like if you’re the 18 year old 19 year old guy there’s like you know a hundred well however many other 18 19 year old guys you go you guys are cruising then here comes this thirty year old you know all level-headed but I can’t relate to this guy this gets kind of weird the other thing is when you’re 18 you don’t even know how much those 30 year olds know you just think you’re there you actually think you know more than look at them like they’re 80 it’s like why would you not you know swing off this rope yeah and see if you can get through the window on the third floor I do not do that exactly so that’s something I would be out brace yourself for that to remember the perspective of an 18 year old and they’re not looking at you going gosh I’d really like to learn oh yeah looking at you like I can’t believe you joined the military what’s wrong with you yeah oh man there is there were guys who actually came from the military and still eligible right for football in college and when I was 26 one guy was 27 and let’s think let’s face it 26 27 that’s young that’s you’re physically like your solid still and we looked at them like man these are like these are old school guys these are like oh I’m here for the moment practice yes literally it was like I felt like that for one of the guys anyway and then you go to class right and you get these people who you know they they don’t go to college right after high school they go you know later on when in my opinion when most of us should go when you know why you’re going and so this one lady was in my class she was maybe 35 36 whatever didn’t look at you with disgust all day long now she didn’t look at me at all oh well she freaking like into donor on program yeah yeah like I was no factor in her life she was doing yeah literally the correct way to do it she sat up front no weirdo you know and she’s asking questions broke protocol literally and that’s really the way to go when you think you know you have to think about that’s the way to go but nonetheless she’s like this but she’s obviously 30-something years old and it just didn’t compute to me you know most important things well almost but that’s a really key part of this conversation is when you’re 8 imagine as a 30 year old when you’re looking at that 18 year old they don’t see it won’t understand any video so check no sir we don’t
