I was an idiot until 28 years old. I'm 51 now. Haven't been in ANY trouble since. The only bad thing about your advice, not enough people will take it!
I went to a youth bootcamp. It was horrible and I got kicked out. They said I was not able to be rehabilitated But my problem wasnt with authority. I had PTSD from a bad childhood. After bootcamp they sent me to a max security youth prison in midland Michigan. My biggest fears weren't being there it was where I would go home when I got out. They sent me away bc of MIPs and running away from home. I had a few run ins as an adult and I am SO BLESSED to this day that my adult probation officer saw who I was inside. I ended up a :habitual: offender but never saw prison bc of her belief in me. I know if I wouldve been a man I might still be in prison but again, I'm blessed for the few who believed in me and helped me become who I am today. I'm 10 years clean of crime. My God I'm so thankful I never went to an adult prison.
Dang Dave I love your stories. I love how you’re able to laugh and tell these stories in a funny and fun way while still saying “it’s funny because it didn’t happen to you.”
Bad trips are tough. I used to eat lots of LSD and Shrooms some times were not so good. Opium is the worst trip ever. I was overwhelmed by a Train every time I closed my eyes. I’ve not tripped in 20 years. I like having control of my mind. Keep on doing good Dave!!!!
I did the real USMC boot camp. I couldn't imagine a worse place to trip balls Dave. You were a wild man. Glad you got your feet back under yourself, even if it did take time.
I'm so happy to have more of you on APS dave. I'm sorry there are people like Victor Stiener spreading negativity in the comments. Keep up your great work
You have no idea how positive it makes me feel about how you turned your life life around so dramatically as a drug addict and being in and out of the legal system this honestly gives me hope
I was at the other Virginia boot camp, Appalachian detention center for men in honaker v.a. It was 6 months long in 2010. One of the best things that ever happened to me, most the di's were out of the military. Loved it!
@@mrjames7251 Everything you say can and WILL be held against you in court, and anything you say that could help you won't be presented. There is absolutely nothing you can say that can help you. I recommend reading ex or even current police officers testimony on this, most will be honest with you and tell you that nothing you say will help you. Here's an example m.czcams.com/video/d-7o9xYp7eE/video.html
I hope you know I was being sarcastic. The only info I've ever given is my lawyer's name. They hardly ever failed to back off after that little tidbit.
I love this video...Dave your storytelling is great ! They are always funny and at the same time informative keep it up ! Again...you never fail or disappoint with the stories!!!
Dave isn't wrong kids. I hung with dudes like him and Joe but I was the nerd (and I really wasn't wish I tried more), and now those same dudes tell me they wish they did right like I did. Life is really good when you are your own man living in your own house standing on your own 2 feet as a pillar of the community. Listen to Dave!!
You are the absolute greatest. You are my favorite story teller of them all. Straight and to the point all the while making me laugh until I cry the entire story. Keep em commn
This was good Dave. When I worked there, that 30 min of exercise was called high noon. Exercising in a sand pit!!! You got lucky with the 4 months, Delaware's was 6 with 3 phases, beginner, intermediate and seniors. They also worked once you got to the intermediate phase. I also seen plenty of people quit but once they got in front of their judge, they were right back to the beginner phase, and they were made examples of as well. Ours, also had females who live on a bay by themselves but had my class and education together. It also got shut down because of sexual misconduct between a female and a DI...
My mother had to go to a NY prison “boot camp”! She came out saying yessir and yes ma’am to her drug dealers... didn’t help her at all, and she is still using, stealing and neglecting!
Let's hallucinate together, Dave said! It'll be fun, Dave said! 😂😂😂😂 Great story!!!! Loved it!!!! PMSL Decades ago (many, many, many decades ago...I'm old) I got me a nice high going on MJ and went to play some Foosball. I didn't hear the music playing in the arcade, I didn't hear people talking, I didn't hear the sounds of the pinball machines....all I heard was the sound effects from my opponent grunting every time they hit the ball. I literally went into a laughing fit and had to leave the game. I was so weak from laughter I thought I was gonna fall over! Best high that I can remember!
'Incentive training' is called getting 'quarter decked' inside the barracks or "going to the pit' 'being pitted' when outside, in a big old sandbox. When talking usmc bootcamp that is.
I love your stories Dave and how you try and put a funny positive spin on all your stories (As do I) because truth is the world is so fuck'd that if we didn't make light of all the bad all of us are going through on a constant basis we might go crazy lol! Keep it up though man keep spreading that postive messages esp. aimed at the younger generation coming up so we can all help teach them "You get what you give" "what you put out on a daily basis is what your gonna get back" so if your constantly negative and self loathing your gonna get that vibe back in life but through being optimistic, postive, and laughing we can all make this place better together.
I love Dave's Stories, his sense of humor cracks me UP!! I love Joe's too, but he is so DAMM LOUD! but that cool, it cracks me up when he yells the little skit parts when he is telling the story
Oh my god I shouldn't be laughing this hard!! But the hallucination experience had me rolling!! Got my mind off this coronavirus for just a bit. Thank you!
Don't lie Dave, when you threw your footlocker a jelly donut fell out and you got kicked out lol. Seriously though great video keep it up. Points to anyone who gets the jelly donut reference
Dude you know your institutionalized when you sit there and reminisce about going to certain programs and certain things and then that's not a part of your life anymore and it's almost like wow I almost like miss it but then I'm like oh hell no it's crazy hey APS for life for SHO
I've never heard of those but my friend from about 15 years ago use to make this tea with something called moon flower. They were round spikey balls that you would boil in water and I guess it made you trip balls. This tree grew like crazy In Colorado. The weird part is it wasn't illegal and wasn't on the list of drugs. He would actually make this tea and bottle it up and drove to Nevada and sold the stuff to people. Shit was crazy. We lived on the 2nd story and he thought he could fly and jumped off the porch.
Thank you for the words you spoke. I have a son who really needed to hear all you said. Even if he takes one minute of what you said he will be better off. Thank you ☺️
I recently did a ride along with an officer from a local police department as I am currently in college seeking a career in law enforcement. The officer I rode with was very nice and we ended up arresting a gentleman who did not put up a fight at all, he accepted his charges ( which were minor vehicle violations ) but arrestable offenses none the less. When we arrived at the jail and got the suspect booked into the jail he had to see the magistrate ( which is the person who sets bonds and all that good stuff ) well prior to the officer bringing him to the magistrate the officer went up there himself and told the magistrate that he came peacefully and was very cooperative which helped him in getting a lower bond. Talking to the police and accepting what has transpired is not always a bad idea, if you have committed a crime with a good bit of evidence there is a good chance you’re going to be charged. So just cooperate it may help you.
I’ve been in a similar situation but in a youth civilian military, academy when I was little. I was always rebellious and always got in trouble. Now I get my redemption, as I embark on my journey into the Marine Corps. Lesson learned xD.
Yup welcome to boot. I’m in the army and I’m laughing so hard right now. Way to go. I would like to see you and joe go through army boot. Love you guys
Hey so instead of county bashing why don’t you stay in your lane. The original comment was not for you and you are acting like a) I offended you and b) your opinion of me matters to me. You have no idea what it’s like to live this life but if I do die in the line of service it will be because I was taking a bullet for someone like you who doesn’t know what I am will to sacrifice to protect others. Hooah. Go ordinance
Hear this Dave; You seriously took just bucking and plannin on livin out the rest of my time in Prison off my list. My life ain't great and I figured if i ever got popped and they sent me, I was ok to go. I figured; I like to fight, I cant get a job, and that everyday routine was on par with my current life. I'll give somethin else a shot. Thanks man, your doin what you mentioned at the end for sure.
Really cool story Dave. You got this locked down, looking good Infront of the camera, natural and all that. I'm a real news at the moment but get a little inspiration from hearing you and Joe tell your journey
Alright, from Danny straight to Dave haha this should be good 24:20 I'm losing it 🤣🤣🤣🤣 unfortunately it's Dave's life, I hope everything's gettin better
Great vid Dave loved it reminds me of my bootcamp i completed mine but was only a year after i went on the run i was on the run for 5 year when i got caught i ended up with 3 year in prison when i got out i finished my paper then moved from Ga to Florida whiched changed my life whenI meet my now wife and daughter now we are a happy family of 6 and all i do is work or enjoy my time with my family i wouldn't change my past for anything because i wouldn't be the man i am today with the family i have without my mistakes i made as a young man loved the vid
Dave dropping some wisdom here. The only 4 words out of someone's mouth when they get arrested should be "I am so fucked." No seriously, it should be "I want an attorney."
one of the reasons dysentery was a huge problem for army not only the other side effects of it but you pretty much shit your self to death as your body becomes starved of water and what not.
An early morning P.T. session in a sand pit. for about an hour. Sounded to me like something a correctional boot camp might enjoy doing to their wards. And will definitely break almost anyone's spirit.
Bro, the helicopter noises/muted yelling part was freaking hilarious. Dave is the best storyteller
Cop: Your friends told us everything
Me: *laughs loudly*
Cop: whats so funny?
Me: i have no friends

"Dude, come on. We'll hallucinate. It'll be funny.' - Dave
Da Cheez some of my best memories....and worst started like this and with a dude named,Dave, we all got a dave
I went to a youth bootcamp. It was horrible and I got kicked out. They said I was not able to be rehabilitated
But my problem wasnt with authority. I had PTSD from a bad childhood. After bootcamp they sent me to a max security youth prison in midland Michigan. My biggest fears weren't being there it was where I would go home when I got out. They sent me away bc of MIPs and running away from home.

This is my favorite APS video. I always find myself coming back to it. “Dude, let’s hallucinate. It’ll be funny.” Been there, Dave.
Dave was the best. It’s a shame this channel went to sh.t and joes head got bigger than his gut
Dang Dave I love your stories. I love how you’re able to laugh and tell these stories in a funny and fun way while still saying “it’s funny because it didn’t happen to you.”
Always like your stories Dave! Your sense of humor is very similar to mine. Keep it up!

That hallucination story sounds familiar hahaha
Peter Paramo sounds fun
Bad trips are tough. I used to eat lots of LSD and Shrooms some times were not so good. Opium is the worst trip ever. I was overwhelmed by a Train every time I closed my eyes. I’ve not tripped in 20 years. I like having control of my mind.
Keep on doing good Dave!!!!
Am I the only one who gets super excited and click when I see Dave on the thumbnail regardless of what the title says or the video is about?
"My hearing stopped" is the best line of this vid haha
I did the real USMC boot camp. I couldn't imagine a worse place to trip balls Dave. You were a wild man. Glad you got your feet back under yourself, even if it did take time.
“Maybe the reason why my life was the way it was, was so that I could help other people.”
AMENAMENAMENAMEN (I miss Dave)
I'm so happy to have more of you on APS dave. I'm sorry there are people like Victor Stiener spreading negativity in the comments. Keep up your great work
I love watching these videos dave joe danny and cody yall are great
Love you guys! Hi joe! Hi Dave, hi Cody
You forgot DANNY
Wish you still had time to share awesome stories like this, Dave.

Dave is a really great story teller. I love that joe lets him make these videos for all of us. Much love aps
No he is NOT!!!!
Dude, I'm still laughing with you about the bootsmoker comment!😆😆 Always great content!
