11:57 already screwing that up so oh that's true yeah hey y'all he's talking about his white chick he's mixed in races she's she's kind of uh indigenous white too because she's Welsh they're like Braveheart but like on the southern part not the northern part isn't Welsh northern southern okay well it is northern northern Europe we're really good at geography here so that 10 years in the Marines yeah speaking of good transition yeah uh so yeah 10 years in the Marines um I where I got into it was uh one of my boys was uh he came we met up one day and he was like yeah I'm thinking about going to the military I was like oh why don't you uh join the Marine Corps and then uh I just knew some people that were you know cool in the Marines they were the only ones that didn't like
12:47 Hackle me all the time and be like oh hey you want to join you want to join you know Army would come to my school Air Force and stuff like that they'd just chase you all the time and so far checks out with Bart's story because it's stories he went to the recruitment center and then he saw the marine guy sleep and he goes oh this guy doesn't give a all right I'm joking that's kind of how it is like they asked me one time and then they left it alone but what they did do was with uh my basketball team would play um at the park all the time so they would come Run games with us all the time don't even ask us to join and then uh they invite us to go paintballing and stuff like that and we go oh they did the one and down the right way yeah yeah
13:37 and then uh and then once my boy said that he was gonna go to the military and I was like oh why don't you just go to the Marines you know they seem pretty dope and if you go I'll go with you and then he ended up uh getting signed up and then we ended up shipping out like two weeks afterwards holy to boot camp yeah and then after that you just decided to be active or so you uh so I went in obviously for that like the first four years you're starting your contract for I was stationed in um Camp Pendleton was my first Duty station and oh so you didn't have to go far no no I didn't have to go far at all I loved it best news station ever you know I get to party in San Diego get to go out you're right next to the little nuclear boobs by the beach that's the best part I've never heard
14:29 someone refer to them as that but now that he says that's a selling point as a kid I would drive by in the car and I'd be like that's boo ironic it's right next to the water too I know let's focus Nick but uh yeah so um I did I got stationed at Camp um Pendleton and then um I want to say three years in I uh uh was able to go on an individual augment so I was basically able to attach to another unit um to go under deployment uh that's one thing I've always wanted to do just get that experience um so I went to Afghanistan for a year came back one piece thank god
15:20 um lost one person out there God Rest his soul um but uh ended up coming back everyone else fine and then um got stationed back at uh Camp Pendleton again and then once I got promoted I shipped over to um North Carolina and uh what would you get promoted to I got promoted to E6 um I don't know what the that is sorry my bad staff sergeant uh got promoted to that and then you know they were like yeah you got to go over to the east coast um my cruise I don't know I've a lot of people say like oh I forget his military stuff like that or I hated uh being in the Marines and I feel like a lot of the grunts say that just because I felt like they're dealt some of the s████████ cards they have like the you know they're
16:11 always out there in the field and training and stuff like that and then you get you know people like me that work in Supply we get a nice little office and you know everybody wants to eat cool with Supply because they got all the the dope stuff you know we get the bargain and stuff was that something that you knew going in like oh supply has the best yeah actually my recruiter actually shout out to my recruiter he was amazing because he set me up with like the perfect job that's cool all the that fell off the back of the truck guys you are 100 Japanese but yeah I did a fine Logistics in the military um I started off doing uh procurements
17:01 when I first came in so that's basically just dealing with everything um uh that the I mean I'm stuttering right now my bad it comes with the everything that the unit needs to carry on with their mission we're the ones to order it and um just make sure it gets there in a like timely manner um so but you're pretty much purchasing things from like anywhere I could buy stuff from like a Walmart I could buy stuff from like eBay Amazon anywhere online um so it's not just like weapons and tactical stuff it's like cigarettes and Playboys you're buying Playboys for the squad yeah it would be it would be some sketch stuff people would be putting on their on their things that were like sketches it's just like oh yeah we need these big
17:52 flat screen TVs to go in this office and it's just like bro what you need big flat screen TVs for like you're here to just do a meeting and that's it no no we need we needed to do this we need to have this type of setup oh yeah let's see let's get an Xbox for the common room and stuff like that was like bro no we don't we don't need we need to we need to practice our drills but we're playing Call of Duty so we're practicing on the field and off off the field in our living so you really had the power to say yes or no to these things yeah yeah and I had it at a very young age which was freaking amazing what kind of things do people do to try to get on your good side oh then they just they're just like oh yeah hey we can uh I worked in a helicopter are they like Joseph you look good today I love that shirt just learning Bro you've been working out yo did you just get a haircut you

19:32 coolest names a lot of syllables we're big on acronyms yeah yeah really big on actors um but yeah so I did that and that's basically keeping track of all like uh headquartered Marine Corps assets that come into your unit um that makes it operable and they're able to carry out their trainings and stuff like that so you got to just make sure you're keeping track of everything um it covers like laptops TVs radios anything with a serial number um you're keeping track of um well I did a good do a good job keeping track of it because a lot of it got lost Mark fears anybody dude that's all I know got lost yeah what's the sickest post-service benefits that you receive post-service benefits um say free medical that's cool oh yeah that is uh in this country yeah yeah

22:04 all like the problems and complications oh so it happens while I was saying like as a result of like your training and things that you had to do or you're playing Xbox and he was like oh for my shoulder now my shoulder actually was pretty bad like it got to a point where I had to like reach underneath the desk to go grab my shoes to go out or something like that and then my shoulder line just popped out of sockets [Music] oh man but uh but yeah so I had like two back surgeries before uh the military and then when I got in the military that's when I had through back it's what five two three so damn that those surgeries
