[Music] Welcome back to another episode of Careful Boys in Vegas. We're going to talk to Subin about his uh recent experiences with uh his military stuff. Okay. Um so during my work, I usually go down for lunch at a food truck, right? And then there's always like a table where you can sit down and whatever, whatnot. But you know, that day I was like, you know what? I want to eat in my truck. But I

0:50 was like, ah, ████ it. It's too hot. So I'm going to just go down and eat in the food truck by the table they set up. I always sit down on the table no matter what. If someone's there, I'm always I'm always gonna sit down next to him and just chat. >> Even if it's a crackhead. >> Even if it's a crackhead because I'm just trying to eat and save time on my break. So while going down there, I noticed uh you know PD patrol like motorcycle unit and he was sitting there by himself and there's hell of people around and nobody wanted to sit next to him and I was just like the ████ who cares, you know? So I just sat next to him and he's on his phone watching you. I don't want to bother him, but I just asked him questions, you know, and I >> So, you were bothering him, >> huh? Yeah. But, you know what? >> I'm not ever going to see him again. So, I'm going to bother him. So, I just decided to talk to him and and I told him I knew this guy. I knew this guy. He's like, "Oh, I know that guy, too." He said, "Why don't you join?" And I was like, "Dude, I'm actually in the process

1:40 still, you know, I'm just on pause due to debt, whatever." And he was like, "Oh, really?" He's like, "What what's your plan on taking care of that?" And I just said, "I'm just joining the National Guard." And he was just like, "Oh, that's cool." And I asked him, "Oh, do you know that's the best thing to do?" And he said, "That's going to be the damn best thing to do." And I was like, "Oh, why is that?" Because he's like, "I'm in it myself." And I was like, "Oh, that's crazy." And I was like, "How long have you been in it for?" He said, "He's been in it for 27 years doing PD and National Guard." >> 27 years in the Army. Wow. >> And he said, "Are you do you already know your your crew and stuff like that?" He's like, "Yeah, I'm going over November 10." And he goes, "Wait a minute." He literally stopped me stops looking at his video and then turns up at me. He's like, "Wait a minute. what's your unit and what company are you in? And I told him my company. Oh, 166 Bravo Company. He goes, that's crazy because I'm your battalion commander.

2:30 >> Oh ████ >> That's your commander. >> That was my battalion commander that day. >> Dang, bro. And I just like froze and I was like, wait, what? >> Did you pee in your pants all of a sudden? >> No, I'm just I just got excited cuz I was >> like, Jesus, you are such a good matchmaker. >> You sit up straight? No, I I stood up straight and I said I put the fries down and I said >> took them out of your mouth. >> You know what I mean? I >> Whatever feeling you had in that moment. >> Yeah. >> I want you to take a snapshot. >> Mhm. >> Remember it. File it away. When you come out of boot camp, when you meet your battalion commander for the first time, compare those two experiences. >> Oh yeah. >> Cuz you don't understand how much of a god he is in your life right now. Oh, >> until you go through, cuz right now you're just like, "Oh, that's Jamie, dude. Jimmy the battalion commander." But once you go through boot camp and

3:20 you understand how each rank works and what the type of like uh command and authority they they um they command, how much command they command, >> cuz they're the battalion's commander. >> Yeah. Then you're like, "Oh, ████ That guy's my daddy's daddy's daddy's daddy's daddy's daddy's daddy's daddy's." >> Yeah. So, right now he's like, "Oh, the guy at the ████ >> Wait, no, I didn't. I stood up straight." No, no, no. But then if you beat him again, they're going to be like, "You're going to ████ ████ in your hand and put in your mouth." Oh, >> yeah. >> What? >> It It was just It was just crazy because I decided to sit there that day. I decided to go down to the food truck when I had some food already. You know what I mean? >> And the fact that I met him and he already started giving me all the details and stuff like that on little tricks here and there. >> Oh, he's a nice guy then. >> Yeah. And he, you know, surprisingly he said, "You know what? Here's my phone

4:11 number. Give me a call and give me a text for any questions you need. >> What a cool guy, man. >> That was a little It was so random, but >> you're going to text him for your Carl's Jr. order? >> I'm going to tell him it. >> No, I'm I'm anything. >> Yeah, I'm I'm I'mma ask him. I'm going to ask him. Yo, uh >> Hey, can you help me move? Can you help me move? >> Can you ring me up already? >> But yeah, >> you should ask him right now.

But he was infantry. >> Yeah, he's got to be like a lieutenant. >> He's in for 26 years. He's up He's He's up there. >> Yeah, he's got to be like a lieutenant colonel or colonel or something. >> Yeah, man. >> That's sick, dude. >> Freaking that was sick, though. I'm not going to lie. But because he said, "Oh, what are you infantry?" I was like, "Yeah." He's like, "I'm infantry, too, but try to get higher A's by score." And I was just like, "Wait, >> you don't even know how to pronounce Asvab correctly." >> Who? Who? >> You. You said Avab. You're going to get smoked. I >> I said that ASVAB. You got to pronounce the test correctly first. >> I think Ryan said that.

5:52 >> Yeah, but he's got it. >> Said Acev, dude. >> Yeah, I just want to tell a quick story about that. I wanted to quit tell. All right. >> Are you excited about boot camp? >> I I really am. You know what? I'm I'm going to be real honest with you. I believe uh I thought it was gonna be like a pain in the butt, but when I asked everybody else, "Hey Joe, you having a great time?" >> In high school, did you take the SAT in high school? Did you take the SAT? >> Was that take SAT in high school? >> SAT? >> Yeah. >> In high school? >> Yeah. Did you? >> Oh, okay. >> I just I dropped out. Remember? >> He got his GED later. I got my GED like as an >> Hey, I got my GED, too. >> You got your GI, right? >> Got my I got my G. >> But yeah. Um, dude, I asked bunch of older people that went in boot camp as older people. They say it was just a blast. >> Blast. >> Yeah, >> because you know, once again, you go in there not no these kids don't want to listen. They got to make their beds and

6:42 they're all like, "Oh, what the ████ We got to run again." But for us, it's just going to be like a regular routine. Just do it. >> You're saying it's diff boot camp is a different experience because you're older versus a young. >> Yes. Because you're actually going there with a purpose and you know what you want. >> Oh, you know why you're there, >> right? And you know what to expect. >> So, you want to like train, get better. Cuz when I keep asking these young kids, they don't know what to expect. At least for us, we're that's what we're expecting. >> You know, you got to make your bed and ████ and they're going to scream at you. >> But if you if you if you guys saw the hotel I was at, if you saw the room, right? Um my hotel room, the bed's actually there. >> You make the hotel room bed. >> Yeah, >> that's awesome. I was actually very impressed. >> Yeah. See, I'm already prepared. >> Yeah, I don't do that. >> Yeah, same. >> That's weird serial killer ████ >> What? What? >> Yeah, I don't make the hotel room bed. smile >> just like, you know, whatever. >> But yeah, so um I'm really excited. I'm

7:34 really excited for the the the AIT part. >> How come you're saying you don't want to try out do the Ranger school and all that stuff anymore? >> I'm just hoping at that point cuz the Ranger schools like >> go that high up >> more more I looked it up. All those guys that are in Ranger school right now are freaking studs, man. 2018 19 year old dude 6 feet already. What's 2018y old dudes? What the hell is that? >> You were saying 20 18. >> He just said it in a funny order. >> I just did abbreviate. >> I did think that too. >> I was like I think they're too young. There's some 2018 dudes. >> So we got some sevenyear-olds. >> Look, if I'm feeling it that day and they gave me that opportunity. Um, you know what? I >> can just be feeling it. Some rangers. >> I feel like they're not even going to select me. They're going to be like thorough broken knees complaining about his back. We're not selecting him. Yeah,

8:25 if you do that, if you're complaining about your back, you're not going to get selected for sure. >> 100%. But you faster. >> You got to be real. You got to keep it real. >> I'm gonna keep it real. Maybe they'll want you because you keep it real. >> Yeah, I think they will. >> We want the broken bad guy. >> It's like, look, we have this guy. We have these guys who don't complain they're great, but they don't keep it real, man. >> I think all you got to do is show them break dancing and show them how you're going to dodge bullets. Cuz then nobody I I guarantee you right now, no one that's a special ops is a break dancer. >> N. So when they're out there getting shot, >> I bet you we can find one. >> When they're in one of those laser mazes, they're not going to be able to know what that'll be. >> You know what? Maybe maybe if they have an audition and say they say they don't if they >> selections or something and they don't pick my name out, I'm going just step forward and be like >> and start break dancing. >> That's sick. >> And then they'll be like, "Look at that." >> I think they'll sell them. >> That sounds like a dance movie. >> So I may not run a flat two under these

9:15 miles, but hey, let me do something real quick for you. >> They're like, "Actually, we just need you to be able to run. But every unit needs one of these guys, right? >> Yeah, that's true. >> Exactly. But honestly, I don't think I can make it. I already telling myself >> that's a good that's a good mindset, dude. >> Yeah. >> If if I can try and I'll try. >> What part of the the process? You can't make the running or like what is it? The carrying stuff or the hiking? >> The the running. >> You're not a good runner. >> I'm not a good runner. >> But you're such a good break dancer. >> That don't mean nothing. I mean, just think that your cardiovascular energy, >> think about it like this. Breaking is sprints. >> Yeah. >> 2 10 30 second sprints, >> but running miles and ████ that's that's a whole >> So long distance. >> Yeah. There's no way the endurance the endurance is it's such quick bursts and breaking. >> I think you're running like probably over 10 miles a day every single day in

10:07 Ranger school, too. >> But anyways, I'm not even hyping myself for that cuz I don't even >> Coast Guard, dude. Those guys don't even move. You sit in a chair. >> The thing about Coast Guards, you got to be swimming. You got to swim. >> Oh, really? >> I don't I don't even want to be swimming. >> That's even worse. >> Air Force. >> You sit. >> You got You got to fly. You got to >> Yeah. Sky. >> Hell no. >> Do you think if you did boot camp like later in life, you'd have an easier time? >> Boot camp? >> Like, let's say you went today. >> Oh, ████ no. I ████ die right now. What the hell? >> Hell no. >> You know, boot camp's not as what it was when you were in though. Yeah, but like I think when you get older, you're just so used to luxuries. >> Like AC would destroy you today. >> There's no way I'd be able to handle it. Like like so like the first thing you get like let's say you go through the whole boot camp thing, right? You go

10:58 everything's extremely welloiled machine process. So even going to get your sheets in the pillow, there's like 200 recruits going through like the bed sheets part, right? The minute they put it on your ████ your arms, you have a pillow that you can tell has everybody's head grease from 1970. The stench is insane. >> And then so you have this, it's ████ filthy brown and you're like, "F███, I'm going to sleep in this ████ for the next 3 months. >> Why don't they wash it? >> They tried that. That is them washing it. >> That's unsanitary." >> Imagine you have that ████ You go in there, you have ████ millions of dudes bo in the sheets and all that and you're just like sleeping in it. I'm ████ used to ████ whatever Casper mattress and ████ I can't be dealing with that kind. He's like, I need my celely.

11:48 >> I got a Mexican lady at home doing my laundry. Smells all nice. I can't be dealing with that ████ ████ >> Is the Mexican lady your wife? >> I was going to say I like the phrasing of that. That's great. >> Yeah, that cuz you know Mexicans do good smelling laundry. That's way too hard. >> Actually, that's so true, man. Their clothes always smell nice after a wash. >> Yeah. >> You can just smell them when they walk by. You're like, "Oh, did you like >> Mexican people just in general?" >> Yeah. They're known to like really smell good. >> Not a Comic-Con. >> Well, Comic-Con people are a different >> They got a big Captain America shirt on at Comic-Con. I'm like, >> I'm going around them. >> And even in boot camp, like everything is is they're playing games with you, right? Everything is like ████ ████ games. So, you get your boots and you're like, "Oh, this is ████ awesome. was my size. Then they're going to have these things where like I don't know what the the proper term is, but it's like I call it ████ tornado tornado land. They go they're going to make up

12:39 an excuse why someone did something wrong and they're have everyone dump all their ████ mix all that ████ ████ up. They're going they're kicking ████ ████ everywhere. They're go, we got 60 seconds to sort your ████ If you don't grab your ████ you're not going to have it for tomorrow. So now you're grabbing that guy's boot who you know has ████ athletes foot and now that boot is yours. You got one size 12 here, one size five here, and then you're like, "F███, I need underwear." You're grabbing this guy's underwear with ████ ████ stained. >> So your whole, >> but he had a big dick, so you got this big pouch here. >> So you have to you have to deal with that. And I'm like, "What the f███?" I'm going to be like, "Yo, uh, I'm out. I'm going to catch Uber. I'll see you guys later." >> What's the What's the point of that specific activity? >> Just to let you be okay with any scenario. Cuz when you're at war, you're >> you're not going to go, "Oh, I get the wrong size, too." You know, it's like that's true. >> You can't go time out.

13:29 >> You got to be ready for anything. If this guy has a ████ bulletproof vest on, but he's dead and you need it, you can't blood. Yeah. You got to ████ I need I need this ████ So they they're they're getting used to doing anything. Grabbing someone else's dick, drinking someone else's canteen. >> Can you imagine a soldier in the field being like, >> I want shoes. >> Do you have Dr. Schles for this? Do you have SS? Honestly, every time people talk about my generation or even the younger generation going to war like WW2 style, I do think about stuff like that where there'd be hella complaining on the boats. >> Yeah. >> Hella b███████. >> Does this bone have lumbars on board? >> Yeah. >> I can't believe we don't even have lotion in our ████ canteen. And then the boat drops down the door. >> Yeah. >> Oh, that's horrible. >> Immediately dead. Everybody >> Tik Tok kids get smoked. They're like >> there's only ████ dad flossing.

14:22 on the beaches >> or might be the opposite with all the ████ Call of Duty kids they can't wait to kill >> and they're just like ready to go. >> It's always going to be the most heartbreaking thought to me is going through all of that development and training just to have a boat door open and then pop like crazy 19year-old awful. I can't believe that's what they went through. Dude, >> did they even train like that during World War II? >> Yeah, their their boot camp's even crazier. Yeah, they're just even crazier cuz I thought they just threw them in there >> cuz we got >> You thought they were just random civilians and gave them clothes? >> Yeah. With little training and then they just went out. >> I think that's Russia. >> Yeah, >> I'm definitely there. You have to cuz you have to be able to operate as a unit to move one platoon or one battalion. And >> it was probably that Russian sniper movie cuz I remember the soldiers running up. You have gun. You have bullet. >> Yeah.

15:12 >> When one of you dies, take the other. >> And they had a gatling gun and ████ So when they ran back, they just killed the soldiers. So, that wasn't D-Day. Probably not. >> But yeah, as a as a as a 40year-old, no way. But I think your age is probably perfect. >> I still got it. I think I still got it. >> Still got it. And then and it's really good. You're going in there with a strong >> How old are you now? >> 30. >> That's good. 30? >> Yeah. 30, >> man. 30 was a great age. >> Cuz you're going to go in going, man, a lot of these guys are ████ like people that don't know how to make their own bed or like cuz like I think now if a if a drill sergeant tells you to do something, you can see behind the ask. Oh, this is supposed to help us do this. >> But you're going to see like 18, 19, even like 21 year olds, they're so dumb like this for, you know. >> Was that you when you were in >> I think me I think I had his mindset where I knew why I was there. So, it was

16:02 really really helpful. And I think it helped growing up in an Asian household where your mom is kind of already like a drill instructor. So, it helped out a lot. But there are people that's the first time they ever get yelled at. >> Yeah. >> Whoa. Oh, what the ████ are you doing? And they're just like, >> really? People don't get yelled at. >> No, people a lot of people don't get yelled at. >> For me, it was improv class, dude. It's like trust falls. Let's go. We're not messing around right now. >> Okay, red shirt, blue shirt. One of you got to be the ref. Let's go. Get the whistle. We're not messing around here. >> Suggestions. >> Okay, let's get a suggestion right away. >> That's true. That's very similar. >> Very similar. It's like get actually give me chills. >> Give me PTSD flashbacks.
