The Secret Army the CIA Betrayed
90 miles south of Florida, more than 1,400 CIA-backed Cuban exiles closed on the southern coast of Cuba. Years of secret training camps, infiltration missions, and covert planning had led to this moment — and almost immediately, everything began to go wrong. For nearly three days, the men of Brigade 2506 fought against overwhelming odds on the Bay of Pigs, waiting for reinforcements that never came. This is the story of the secret army the CIA built, the invasion that collapsed on the beach, and the promise that remains unfulfilled more than 60 years later. 0:00 The Fleet Closes on Cuba 1:38 The CIA's Perfect Formula 2:01 Castro Takes Cuba 2:47 Building a Secret Army 3:14 Felix Rodriguez, Number 2718 3:45 The Jungle Camp in Guatemala 4:59 A Death and a New Name 5:13 The First Combat Test 6:06 The Gray Teams Go In 7:17 The Invasion Fleet Departs 7:51 Disaster at the Bay of Pigs 8:39 Castro Strikes Back 9:21 Reinforcements That Never Came 9:46 The Escape and Capture 10:11 The Aftermath 10:39 Kennedy Takes the Blame 11:51 20 Months of Captivity 12:28 The Promise at the Orange Bowl Learn more about why Black Rifle Coffee Company is America's Coffee: http://brcc.coffee/2rgH6vu Check us out on social media: Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/blackriflecoffee Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/blackriflecoffeeco LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/6978821 X: https://x.com/blckriflecoffee Did you know that we are on Amazon? http://amzn.to/2oFoBek

The 6 Secret Military Branches Explained (By a Marine Who'd Never Heard of One)
Half a million of you watched my breakdown of all 7 military branches. A lot of you got in the comments to tell me what I missed. Fair. So let's clear the air. These are the uniformed services and forces that are NOT technically military branches, including one with full military benefits, VA loan and all, that I'd never even heard of after 13 years in the Marine Corps. Hurricane hunters, disease fighters, the merchant mariners who took some of the worst casualty rates of WW2, and yes, we need to talk about the National Guard again. Watch the original first if you haven't: https://youtu.be/gI0sjF_662Y Still think I missed one? Comments are open. Apparently you people find everything.

I Hit an IED, Then My Best Friend Hit Another 50 Yards Away
A 48-hour convoy mission in Helmand Province. It took 108 hours, four IEDs, one medevac, and a bulldozer to get us home. This is Mission 24. September 2010, Sangin, Afghanistan. I was in the lead vehicle. My truck hit an IED making a U-turn we only had to make because of a paperwork mistake back at base. Fifteen minutes later my best friend's truck hit another one 50 yards away. That wasn't even the worst thing that happened that week. Every detail in this video comes from the journal I kept in country. The times, the vehicle numbers, what Staff Sergeant Letterman said on the stretcher, all of it. This is what deployment actually looked like. Not the movie version. The one where the plan dies in the first hour and you execute anyway. This is Episode 1 of Story Time with Dave.

8 Things You Must Do Before Leaving the Military (I Learned the Hard Way)
I thought my transition would be easy. I was financially free, I had a business running, I'd done everything right. I was wrong, and the first year out was harder than any deployment brief ever warned me. In this one I'm walking through the 8 things you must do before you leave the military, and I don't mean the TAPS checklist. Saving more than you think you need, using the VA loan while you still show income, and the two things nobody talks about that actually wreck veterans in that first year: losing your identity and losing your purpose. I did 13 years in the Marine Corps, left as a Gunny select with no pension, and learned most of this the hard way so you don't have to. If you're getting out in the next 12 months, this is the video to watch twice. Drop a comment with the one thing YOU wish you'd known before you got out.

9 Things Marines Do at Mess Night That Civilians Never See
The grog alone is enough to make a grown Marine throw up in his dress blues. And that's just the first thing that happens at a mess night. In this one I'm walking through 9 things that go down at a Marine Corps mess night, one of the oldest and rowdiest traditions we've got, and one almost no civilian ever sees. The disgusting grog you get forced to drink as punishment, the staged public call-outs where you weave a story to get someone else fined, the guy who ordered Domino's to a buddy's seat mid-ceremony just to rat him out, and the formal toasts you do not want to mess up. I did 13 years in the Marine Corps and only saw three or four of these, so even most Marines have never been to one. Marines, drop your best mess night story in the comments, the call-outs and the grog disasters especially. If you've never been to one, now you know what you're missing. 0:00 The tradition civilians never see 0:19 The thing everyone remembers 1:05 How to get out of it (sort of) 1:28 The call-outs get brutal 3:20 Yes, there's a sword involved 3:48 Do not mess this part up 5:51 The game they play with you 6:33 The serious moment 7:16 Why Marines actually love this Get a FREE copy of my book, and get connected to the Military Millionaire community on all of your favorite platforms: https://www.frommilitarytomillionaire.com/free-book #MarineCorps #Military #Veterans #MilitaryLife

The Dumbest Things I Ever Got Chewed Out For in the Military
The dumbest thing I ever got chewed out for? Finishing my rackmate's punishment in boot camp while he was being loaded into an ambulance. And that one isn't even the worst on this list. In this one I'm running through the most ridiculous reasons I got my ass chewed in 13 years in the Marine Corps, from getting blasted for unbloused boots in Afghanistan (the photo somehow ended up on the Assistant Commandant's desk) to getting yelled at for going home sick with a catheter in. Then I get into the ones I watched other people catch, the guy who zip-tied himself under a truck to nap, and the legends from the comments, including the Marine who got told to apologize to the fish for eating it. This whole thing started from a question I posted on Instagram, and the comments were too good not to read out loud.So now I want yours. Drop the dumbest thing you ever got chewed out for in the comments, the best ones are going in the next video.If you served you already know the wrong color socks made the list.

15 Things the Military Makes You Do (That No One Warns You About)
The military is full of things nobody mentions at the recruiter's office. Field day, where you tear your entire room apart every Thursday night so it can pass a white-glove inspection. The surprise 5:30 AM text that means you're about to get watched while you pee. The 24-hour duty where they won't even let you read a book. None of it makes the brochure. In this one I'm walking through 15 things you'll absolutely experience in the service and never see coming, from mandatory fun days to gear inspections to the legendary art of Gunny time, where being 15 minutes early somehow means you're late. I did 13 years active in the Marine Corps, two in the reserves, and three of those as a recruiter, so I've lived every one of these. Veterans, you've been warned, the flashbacks start at field day. Veterans, drop the one I missed in the comments. The best ones go in the next list. 0:00 15 things nobody warns you about 0:17 Field day 1:49 Health and comfort inspections 3:06 Mandatory fun days 4:36 Uniform inspections 5:20 Gear inspections 6:44 CIF turn-in 9:04 Liberty briefs 10:56 Holiday vehicle inspections 13:02 24-hour duty 14:28 Gunny time 15:54 Medical hit list 16:46 The urinalysis list 18:38 Change of command ceremonies 19:14 Dog and pony shows 20:03 Battalion moto runs #Military #Veterans #MilitaryLife #BootCamp Get a FREE copy of my book, and get connected to the Military Millionaire community on all of your favorite platforms: https://www.frommilitarytomillionaire.com/free-book

All 7 Military Branches Explained (By a Marine Who'll Be Honest)
Most people think every military branch does basically the same thing. They don't, and the differences are bigger than you'd guess. The Army owns the land, the Marines kick the door down first, the Navy runs the oceans, the Air Force owns the sky, and yes, Space Force is a real branch with a real job. In this one I break down all seven branches as simply as anyone's ever laid it out for you: what each one actually does, where its emblem comes from, its motto, and the story behind its war cry. Why the Army yells Hooah, where Oorah actually came from, and why the Air Force never got a gritty battle cry in the first place. I'm a Marine, so I'll be honest about all of them, including the one branch I picked up a little beef with on recruiting duty. Comment which branch surprised you, or tell me if you want me to go deeper on the history of any single one. If you served, drop the war cry of your branch below. 0:00 The branches are not the same 0:19 US Army: land warfare and where Hooah came from 1:29 US Marine Corps: the Eagle Globe and Anchor, and Oorah 3:02 US Navy: sea control and Hooyah 3:56 US Air Force: air superiority and why Aim High stuck 4:47 US Space Force: the newest branch and Semper Supra 5:43 US Coast Guard: search, rescue, and Semper Paratus 6:24 US National Guard: citizen soldiers (and my honest take) 7:13 All 7 missions in one summary #Military #Veterans #Army #Marines #Navy #AirForce Get a FREE copy of my book, and get connected to the Military Millionaire community on all of your favorite platforms: https://www.frommilitarytomillionaire.com/free-book

20 Things Veterans Do That Make Zero Sense to Civilians
If you served, you already do at least ten of these without thinking about it. Standing at attention for the anthem, flipping off your best friend as a greeting, waking up at 5:30 on a Saturday for absolutely no reason. Civilians see it and have no idea what's going on. We just call it Tuesday. In this one I'm walking through 20 things veterans do in public that quietly confuse everyone around them, from the dark humor at the worst possible moment to the contingency plan you've already made for where to rally if the concert gets attacked. If you've ever said "living the dream" with completely dead eyes, this list is for you. Veterans, drop the ones I missed in the comments. The best ones end up in the next video. If you're getting out or thinking about joining, grab my free guide first.
