Ship life

Nothing quite like living in the middle of the ocean.

30 day periods of not seeing land, having no clue where your at, and not touching a lick of cellular service gives you plenty of time and reasons to re evaluate things.

While on ship I thrived off hitting the gym, listening to my 100 downloaded songs (mostly kanye and Daniel ceaser), and thinking deeply about what I truly wanted in life. Many look back at their time at sea as a shitty waste of time. But I found it to be one of the biggest life changing experiences of my life.

While ship life sucked in almost every manner, it gave ample time to reflect and plan. I had a notebook that I would constantly write ideas into. Ideas that have literally came to fruishin since. I knew I wanted to get back into YouTube (I have). I knew I wanted to start a marketing agency (started one, signed one client first week and since have dropped that endeavor). I knew I wanted to find new ways of creating income outside of my regular military pay. And I knew that I wanted to come closer to god.

I think a lot of what the military lifestyle teaches you doesn’t come from actual military training. But rather how you cope with the stress and struggle of the lifestyle. You can attend dozens of courses throughout your time in the military and learn a lot of dope and valuable skills, but if your not putting yourself in a position to suffer from time to time, then you aren’t getting the truest experience and lessons possible. I’m not saying, because you’re an admin marine that you’re not going to come out of the military as good and wise as an infantry marine. What I’m saying is that you should accept challenges that scare you. Accept situations that take you out of your comfort zone. Accept the unexpected.

My time on ship sucked, and I was a lil nervous prior too, because I knew I never had to live a lifestyle like that before. But I came back to land a better person because of it, because I accepted the fact that I was going to be uncomfortable and out of my element.

Sorry for the serious and deep couple paragraphs, was feeling wise this evening 😂.. anyways y’all have a good one! New video Thursday!
