The National Guard consists of the most loyal citizens in the country, we contribute to the nations economy with civilian careers in peacetime, and in a time of war we deploy with our unit for combat arms roles. I will always place the mission first, Florida Army National Guard.
I'm proud to say that I am one of the vocalists singing on this video. Mike Brassell is a wonderful musician (composer/performer) and Central FL misses him since his relocation to Nashville.
It was an honor to do this project as I am patriot through and through and bleed red white and blue.
I love my job.. I just wish my friends would do what I do I know it makes me feel good to serve my community and my home land... selfless service is the only way to be.
I live in Minot, ND where there has been horrible flooding, but not a single person lost their life! I give alot of that credit to the great men and woman of the National Guard and the Airman from the base that are helping us stay safe! God Bless the Troops and National Guard!
Most of my life I've had this nagging health problem, but since I've begun training and working to get my body in shape it's begun to go away. All my life I've wanted to be a soldier and I'm determined to see it through, it's gonna be rough so it's time to get tough.
Everyone might talk shit on the guard but that's all good cause they are not the ones who are signing the contracts. California National Guard. 240th fsb Camp Roberts HOOAH!
America is not a perfect country by any stretch but it is one of the best places to live in. Here we are free. Here we continue to build upon a land that was once considered impossible to start with. Now this country's survival depends on not just our soldiers but the citizens care and respect for this country. I stand not behind but with our soldiers; both domestically and internationally. This country is to important and I will help my brothers and sisters in arms to defend her if need be
NOW THIS is a video of INSPIRATION, regardless of your job, goals or feelings about the military, the message about loyalty, duty, courage, selfless service ect, everything, is something everyone should push themselves toward. Thank you for uploading this, I sometimes lose the motivation to push myself forward and this will do.
I don't tolerate anyone who talks shit about the military. Those who serve deserve way better than your worthless words. You ungrateful fucks. I'm proud of these men and women. I think they are better than those who are not in the military. I would know my entire family is military and I am proud to say that I will soon join the ranks in the Army! HOOAH!!! To those that have served and are serving I am eternally thankful.
This is a very BEAST video and song. Even though it's about the National Guard it still inspires me to go into the Air Force lol. Only because of the words.
This is probably really stupid of me for asking, but isn't the purpose of the National Guard to provide aid in areas that had disasters or something like that in the US, not fighting on the frontlines, isn't that the job of the Marines and the Army? Sorry if this is stupid, but I am curious.
i am turning 18 this summer, i got accepted to university of chicago gonna major in biology/premed, then try to get into med school but ireally want experience like this, i have talked to some recruiters they said if i wanna do school thats fine i wont get send in. should i do it? i dont want to go to afghan
ur fucking dumb. ur americans and u dont know ur own armys history. the national guard doesnt fight "everywhere". there a home based military that stays in america and protects america. the marines and the army goes to fight "everywhere". im english and i fuckin know that
@bbbmx1 Er...um..you are ass wrong, brother! The Guard has deployed to every major conflict, including WWI and WWII and has a proud history of combat. At one time over 50% of all American Soldiers in Iraq were National Guard Soldiers!
awesome video I served in the Marine Corps for ten years. I got out in 2005 and joined the National Guard in 2007. The National Guard Rocks, but it does depend on what unit you are in. Some are great and some are lame. Its was the same way in the Marine Corps.old saying i learned as a Marine. " the worst unit ever is the one your in and the best unit ever is the one you came from"....lol Former marines will know what that means.....
i wanna see you foos risk ur lives like we do. i bet u fools see a cat getting runned over by a car and you get that OMG!!! feeeling. i bet if u fools see someone getting his head blown up in war ur life will never be the same so just stop talking shit if u dont know what the guard is a about and besides were the oldest branch in the millitary how u like that
@DiViD213 I agree with you many people talk shit about the guard and do not know what its actually like if they think it sucks why dont they join i bet they wont even survive basic training i just enlisted and i am going for infantry
@DiViD213 I totally agree with you 100% the only thing i have to say is that the Marine Corps is actually the oldest branch of the united states military. Other than that thank you for your sevice!
All right lets get this over with. The National Guard is ok and is helpfull in natural disasters, but lets not act like yall are badass. Don't even talk about someones head getting blown off because lets face it, hardly anyone in the National Guard will ever see combat hence people make fun call yall weekend warriors. And who gives a shit if yall are the oldest. Last time I checked a date stamp doesn't make you cool and allow you to win battles.
hey i am the fire fighter that brings the girl out of the buring building and ryanmas9 is my hero :) i am glad i could be in the video it was alot of fun.
When I saw this in the theater, I couldn't help but think at how my dad was in Iraq at that moment. If I didn't have a moderate hearing loss in both ears, I would've signed up when I was 17.
At :33 there is National Guardsmen supposed to be coming out of water like some kind of Marine MARSOC. Hahaha, they did that so people would talk to the National Guard more, nothing wrong... but still its funny because the Army National Guard is making itsself look like the Marines right there so people can talk to the Army and not the Marines.. HAHAHAHAH CLASSIC!
I always looked forward to seeing this music video whenever I went to the movies. It seemed more like a pre movie presentation than a commercial in my opinion. XD
This video I saw in a movie theater and this definatly inspired me to make up my mind and now I'm planning on enlisting into the National Guard. I've been wanting to do it since I was a little kid back in 1995 when a violent blizzard hit my neighborhood and a really bad fire happed at my apartment building. The National Guard showed up and saved me and my family. I want to give something back to them and serve my country.
God bless you for wanting to be a part of our country's saviors! I served in the National Guard from 1978-1982 but saw no action. God knows I was willing to put my life on the line for America and our citizens. Go forth and be proud! The country, at least most of us, are proud of you and your commitment.
@DarkAngel31678 i spent five months with the national guard from january 9th 2011 through till june 11th 2011. was a NG YCP cadet. my cadre are the one who inspired me to become a national guard soldier. im joining in november when i turn 17. cant wait. and i wish you luck on entrance to the guard
this is to all my soldiers in the army that are on Facebook at this moment. Kerin Hernandez, john zamberi, Jonathan bishop and all other people this is for ya
i think it's funny that they place this in the movie theaters in Jacksonville NC....the town where the biggest Marine Corps base is lol The comments made everytime this is played by the Marines is funny as hell rofl
o my gosh i think this is a great commercial, but when i was in the movie theatere my friend was joking around and was like now kate don't get abducted... then thins came on and all i heard was i will find you i will find you and it was so funny... i was laughing so hard..
I love the principles this republic was founded upon, namely freedom and our undying strength to keep ourselves free but with our current technology we can be free without the loss of human lives. I mean we aren't really free any more in this country, but we used to be. Even so our technology can allow us to say, "we can end the war without putting your son's and daughter's lives at risk but we choose not to because they could be desensitized." I imagine a greater freedom. Let's fight for it.
@SEXYBlueNinja Yes you have to go through the gas chamber. National Guard soldiers go to the same basic training as Active Duty soldiers. The gas chamber is not bad, yeah it burns and yeah your gonna' choke, but it creates memories that you can share with your friends.
My dad was in the Guard already when Pearl harbor happened! It was the getting away from home that got him to join! HIS Father was in the Guard and fought Pancho Villa and The Germans
This is a "ballsy" video. Looks and sounds like the Movie "Excalibur."
I'm seriously thinking about joining the National Guard (specifically doing Split Option so I can still go to college).
If anyone that's served (especially Split Ops people) is reading this, please message me - tell me if it's a bad decision, good decision, or if there's anything else I should know
There is a new National Guard video out that is dedicated to the spouses and families of deployed soldiers. Thank you all for your support. Just type "The Home Lines" in the search box.
everytime i watch this it gives me goosebumps. i dont like the war but i do support our troops for fighting for us and keeping us safe. God Bless all those who have fought to save and honor our country. And Rest In Peace for those who died protecting that.
it is very concerning to me that so many on here seem to believe reserve soldiers are not fighting in IRAQ. I know National Guard Soldiers who have gone 2-3 times since 2001. Including my sister. There is a Marine Reserve Unit (LIMA CO) from our State that lost more marines from combat than any other unit. Do some fact checking before you draw conclusions.
I know I'm gonna get heat but the national guard did NOT do a good job with this recruitment add ( I am not saying anything bad about our NG) they have had a LOT better recruitment videos. NG either make a new video or go back to the old ones ( citizen soldier anyone?)
Many of you don't know how hard it is for the young men and women of the NG who have been ordered to deployment to Iraq for long tours of duty: consequences like the loss of formerly steady jobs and resulting unemployment upon return. If you are a college student or are earning a steady salary but want to do the weekend warrior thing, forget it. You might as well just sign up to be a full time soldier. At least that way, your life won't get thrown for a loop when Uncle Sam comes a knocking.
There's always alot of misconceptions about the military, what it is and what it isn't. It's best to talk not only to a recruiter, but also to current soldiers, that way you will get your questions answered from mulitple perspectives! I'm glad I joined a year ago! Proud to be in the U.S. Army Reserves, Hooah! 92A! --PV2 Stewart
I'm 58. I come from a military family. Both my parents were Marines. My father was at Guadalcanal. My mother was in the motor pool on Parris Island. Everyone in my family has served in the military as far back as I can go. Trust me. These guys are looking for young dumb recruits. Stay away from the National Guard. The other branches of the military think of Guardsmen as idiots and canon fodder. If the military appeals to you, join the Navy. At least you'll stay alive.
It makes me proud that people still fight for their country. I have grown up in a family of pilots and other people of other military proffesions, so I am proud to say this song is going to be stuck in my head for a long time. I hope all of you guys who watch this understand that.
freejelly the national guard is kind oif the "backup" army although 50% of troops in iraq are national guard, you get the same basic an ait as army regular an reserves but then you have drill one weekend a month, basicly when you are home you have to be ready to leave if anything should happen ex attack or natuaral disaster, and be ready to be deployed to iraq or afghanistan
The only thing worse than the National Guard is the coast guard. I'm going to Marine Corps boot camp in 3 months. So I have no problem with people serving their country it just seems like the National guard is full of wimps
Freejellybeans go ahead and look up info on the guard on their website. I honestly didn't know much about it like you before I signed up. One day I got all into joining the military and checked out the guard liked why they had. Then spent some months talking to my recruiter cousin and cousin who was a private and eventually joined up. That joy and thought of being in the military has never gone away since that one day.
Im thinking about joining the marines corps but i want to know like exactly what would i have to do if i graduated national guard basic training? i mean what is the job for what is it mainly to do? Is
Is it like to protect the united states or backups if the marines and army have trouble?
National Guard serves both the nation and the state. We can be deployed to serve wherever we are needed. This would include Iraq/Afghanistan alongside active duty, or at home to assist victims of natural disasters.
As for what you do in the Nat'l Guard, that is all based on your MOS, or Military Occupation Specialty. You receive training for your MOS after you complete Basic Combat Training in AIT, or Advanced Individual Training.
So, really, it's up to you what you do. =) Talk to a recruiter.
yeah I was gonna join the Marines, too. But their song is just not as inspiring. I mean I heard this the first time and just jumped out of my seat in the movie theater and said YESSSSSSS! because I was just so inspired. Join the national guard. It's just like a video game, apparently.
@freejellybeans : Look, right off the bat I can tell you to not join the Marines. People that join the Marine Corps, typically always wanted to be in the Marines and have a desire to be the best. If you want to play soldier one weekend of month then join the guard, but if you want to step up then go active. But don't waste the Marine Corps time with joining and then crying about it later.
everyone look up the song disturbed-inside the fire and add it to this video!!! so sick

Unless you have a good career already or you're going to college, active duty is the only way to go.

I love the principles this republic was founded upon, namely freedom and our undying strength to keep ourselves free but with our current technology we can be free without the loss of human lives. I mean we aren't really free any more in this country, but we used to be. Even so our technology can allow us to say, "we can end the war without putting your son's and daughter's lives at risk but we choose not to because they could be desensitized." I imagine a greater freedom. Let's fight for it.

One question in the BT for the national Gard do you have to do the gas chamber exsersize that really scars me the most
SEXYBlueNinja 1 year ago
@SEXYBlueNinja Yes you have to go through the gas chamber. National Guard soldiers go to the same basic training as Active Duty soldiers. The gas chamber is not bad, yeah it burns and yeah your gonna' choke, but it creates memories that you can share with your friends.

My dad was in the Guard already when Pearl harbor happened! It was the getting away from home that got him to join! HIS Father was in the Guard and fought Pancho Villa and The Germans
This is a "ballsy" video. Looks and sounds like the Movie "Excalibur."

I'm seriously thinking about joining the National Guard (specifically doing Split Option so I can still go to college).
If anyone that's served (especially Split Ops people) is reading this, please message me - tell me if it's a bad decision, good decision, or if there's anything else I should know

There is a new National Guard video out that is dedicated to the spouses and families of deployed soldiers. Thank you all for your support. Just type "The Home Lines" in the search box.

it is very concerning to me that so many on here seem to believe reserve soldiers are not fighting in IRAQ. I know National Guard Soldiers who have gone 2-3 times since 2001. Including my sister. There is a Marine Reserve Unit (LIMA CO) from our State that lost more marines from combat than any other unit. Do some fact checking before you draw conclusions.

I know I'm gonna get heat but the national guard did NOT do a good job with this recruitment add ( I am not saying anything bad about our NG) they have had a LOT better recruitment videos. NG either make a new video or go back to the old ones ( citizen soldier anyone?)

lastfacescene23 1 year ago
Many of you don't know how hard it is for the young men and women of the NG who have been ordered to deployment to Iraq for long tours of duty: consequences like the loss of formerly steady jobs and resulting unemployment upon return. If you are a college student or are earning a steady salary but want to do the weekend warrior thing, forget it. You might as well just sign up to be a full time soldier. At least that way, your life won't get thrown for a loop when Uncle Sam comes a knocking.

There's always alot of misconceptions about the military, what it is and what it isn't. It's best to talk not only to a recruiter, but also to current soldiers, that way you will get your questions answered from mulitple perspectives! I'm glad I joined a year ago! Proud to be in the U.S. Army Reserves, Hooah! 92A! --PV2 Stewart

I'm 58. I come from a military family. Both my parents were Marines. My father was at Guadalcanal. My mother was in the motor pool on Parris Island. Everyone in my family has served in the military as far back as I can go. Trust me. These guys are looking for young dumb recruits. Stay away from the National Guard. The other branches of the military think of Guardsmen as idiots and canon fodder. If the military appeals to you, join the Navy. At least you'll stay alive.

It makes me proud that people still fight for their country. I have grown up in a family of pilots and other people of other military proffesions, so I am proud to say this song is going to be stuck in my head for a long time. I hope all of you guys who watch this understand that.

freejelly the national guard is kind oif the "backup" army although 50% of troops in iraq are national guard, you get the same basic an ait as army regular an reserves but then you have drill one weekend a month, basicly when you are home you have to be ready to leave if anything should happen ex attack or natuaral disaster, and be ready to be deployed to iraq or afghanistan

The only thing worse than the National Guard is the coast guard. I'm going to Marine Corps boot camp in 3 months. So I have no problem with people serving their country it just seems like the National guard is full of wimps

Freejellybeans go ahead and look up info on the guard on their website. I honestly didn't know much about it like you before I signed up. One day I got all into joining the military and checked out the guard liked why they had. Then spent some months talking to my recruiter cousin and cousin who was a private and eventually joined up. That joy and thought of being in the military has never gone away since that one day.

Im thinking about joining the marines corps but i want to know like exactly what would i have to do if i graduated national guard basic training? i mean what is the job for what is it mainly to do? Is
Is it like to protect the united states or backups if the marines and army have trouble?
Freejellybeans,
freejellybeans 1 year ago
National Guard serves both the nation and the state. We can be deployed to serve wherever we are needed. This would include Iraq/Afghanistan alongside active duty, or at home to assist victims of natural disasters.
As for what you do in the Nat'l Guard, that is all based on your MOS, or Military Occupation Specialty. You receive training for your MOS after you complete Basic Combat Training in AIT, or Advanced Individual Training.
So, really, it's up to you what you do. =) Talk to a recruiter.

yeah I was gonna join the Marines, too. But their song is just not as inspiring. I mean I heard this the first time and just jumped out of my seat in the movie theater and said YESSSSSSS! because I was just so inspired. Join the national guard. It's just like a video game, apparently.

@freejellybeans : Look, right off the bat I can tell you to not join the Marines. People that join the Marine Corps, typically always wanted to be in the Marines and have a desire to be the best. If you want to play soldier one weekend of month then join the guard, but if you want to step up then go active. But don't waste the Marine Corps time with joining and then crying about it later.
