- In this week's Urban Valor episode, Marine veteran Don Tran takes the spotlight. Don's upbringing was in Long Beach, CA. Despite multiple arrests during his juvenile years, he made a pivotal decision to enlist in the Marine Corps, seeking a transformative path for his life. Don went on his Marine Corps journey as an 0341 Mortarman, gradually progressing to become a part of the Marine Special Operations Community.
Through numerous combat deployments, Don drew upon his training and experiences. These encounters led him to co-found 'Deep End Fitness', an organization that revolves around the principles of movement, breath work, and cultivating mental strength. The organization aims to enhance human performance both in and out of the water, reflecting Don's dedication to optimizing potential!

Shoutout to Sgt Powell who went above his duty to save Don. You made a difference in this young man’s life
Kudos to SGT Powell. Dragging that young man back from the brink to make Marine out of him.
Who is complete God?
Iyov 36:5 - Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)
See, El is Kabir, and despiseth, not any; He is Kabir in ko’ach lev (strength of understanding).
Translation: Supreme God is Kabir, but despises no one. He is Kabir, and firm in his purpose.
In all Bible translations, the word Kabir has been translated as "Mighty" or "Great" whereas Kabir is the original name of Supreme God.
Conclusion: This verse of the Bible proves that Kabir is Complete God. The one who worships God Kabir by taking initiation from the complete saint sent by him gets complete salvation. After attaining salvation that souls rest in peace in the eternal abode Satlok forever. The throne of God is in Satlok.
God Kabir met Jesus and took his soul to Satlok. On their way, God Kabir made him see his ancestors David, Moses, Abraham, etc. in the Pitra Lokas. Then God took him to Satlok
@bibekjung7404 what made you want to write all of that here??

@@christopherwalker6056it’s called spreading the word of god.
Family immigrates to the US after the Vietnam war and this man becomes a Marine.. and not just a Marine a MARSOC operator.. the world is a beautiful place!
Full circle ya know
He is a great American
What a negative difference the next generation of immigrants made.
probably see the same with our Afghani refugees too
@@billw2126oh yeah I bet ship all the Muslims to the west
I'm a fellow Vet from Long Beach,CA! Thanks for your service.
Appreciate it brother🤙🏼🇺🇸👊🏼 thank you for your service 🫡
This dude is super humble. You don't realize what he had to go through. I wish him the best.
he’s also still a really badass mf, MARSOC ain’t no joke
What a stud, total respect for him!
Yes, he's great!
I got dropped to 1/4 Bco 3rd Plt in Nov 06, and went on the following Iraq deployments with them. Squad bay life was the best life. The fricken Moon dust was the absolute worst. Hated flight suits. RIP Lcpl Burris, fine Marine. We were at AQ for a few days when this happened and escorted him onto the Helo and went to his ceremony before going back out and getting attached to Charlie. Right before or after Operation Mawtini, I can't recall. Crazy hearing this story on here. I was also in Falujah at ECP1 during the following pump. There were more then 2 IEDs that went off at the same time, there were a few like 4 or 5 at the same time. The one destined for ECP1 blew up like 1k meters away thankfully, they tried to hit us simultaneously. Thanks for sharing our story.
One of those 3 guys shot, Capt Manoukian was in 1/4 Bco 1st plt in Iraq in 07, so you had served with them before. A fricken Giant among men. Semper Fi Brother.
The War Machine turn it on, lol.
Good old China.
Normally not a fan of recruiters lol but shoutout to Sarnt Powell. Wether he was trying to hit that quota or not he still went above and beyond and changed homeboys life for the better!
fire ass interview man. I love dude so much. I am an Asian immigrant that came to the USA after the war too and ill let you man we had it rough growing up. Thank you for your service Don Tran.
Sir, You are a great example of how a human with integrity will succeed.
The arc of spec ops training has always impressed me.
In the beginning it was “I need a group of crazy guys and we’re gonna go do some things you won’t come back from”
Now the pipeline is damn near 2 years just to be considered a basic entry level operator.
Sean Ryan interviewed a marsoc operator that didn’t do selection. He was just a squared away marine that did some bad ass shit and they brought him to the teams. Forgot the interview name but it was a white dude in marsoc
@@georgewashington7982his name was Prime Hall, and I found thet intrgview to be incredibly hard to listen to, the dude could hardly put a coherent thought together he was all over the place, god bless him and his service but this dude would be amazing on SRS.
@@georgewashington7982Cody Alford I think.
@@AcreOfOrganic no dude, Cody did A&S lol
@@AcreOfOrganic there’s literally a marsoc guy that was just an infantry dude working with marsoc, and they liked him a lot so they made him an operator
Thank you for documenting these perspectives and stories from our recent history. Great interview!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for listening!
My recruiter paid two of my speeding tickets to get me to my meps apppointment. It was months before actually leaving for boot camp so paid him back. I was 17 at the time and didnt want my parents to find out. It was like $500. Like Don said, it's either the Brotherhood starts during the enlistment period because of the small number who join the Marines or they just want to meet their qouta. Recruiting is extremely stressful so probably all about numbers. It didnt help I was leaving for meps in like two days and had no idea any fines had to be paid in advance.
What Don and Prime are doing is amazing. Love hearing the stories of veterans helping veterans. They train us to push all weakness to the back of our mind and is exactly why we always check the box for "no" in our med records and have a hard time reaching out for help. Call it stubbornness or not wanting to show weakness. Hearing these stories make it easier for veterans to reach out for help and make us realize we're not alone, weak, or crazy. It's just part of the military experience for many. Building a veteran community is huge and is one thing that can help bring down the suicide numbers. We need more local groups in and around every city. Semper Fi, Don. Keep up the amazing work you're doing.
Stand up Marine and a high character man. Proud to have him on our Team and protecting our freedoms.
This was a great interview but I feel like this was an appetizer to what could be a full blown Sean Ryan Show 3 parter type interview because this dude could very easily fill 6+ hours of content no problem. He’s a great story teller and awesome dude, I also like how he skims over being a jtac like it’s no big deal! 😂 he’s got so many more cool stories I know it!
It's not always about being the man, just being a man. Great interview.
A true renegade. Don thanks for your service, you're from a great lineage. A prodigal son turned into a warrior; I hope your parents are proud of your service and the family name you carry. I challenge you to a few rounds of badminton someday, from a fellow slanky Viet.
This one is crazy!!! Tran is an absolute wicked stud. Thank you and your team members for your contribution on the battlefield and for our country. It's warfighters like Tran that keep our nation safe. I'm a 48 year old retired cop and got some fight left in me but knowing guys like Tran and his teammates exist makes me feel safe and makes me feel like my two sons are safe. It's good to know that there are good guys that are so capable of precision warfighting.
Bro... I love your humbleness. Semper Fi !!!!
What an absolute unit 🇺🇸
You would suck him off is all your saying. Be your own man, man tf up and get it in. Be your own beast
Indeed, he is a great humble guy. What strength!
Thank you for your service Tran. I served in H&S 1/4 from 98-01. I was probably one of the Lakewood Mall Security chasing you. I worked there from 04-08. 😂😂
😂
Yet another dope interview. Amazing person, amazing story, amazing channel. Thank you for your service brother 💯🫡
Much appreciated Tyler! Thank you!
What's the difference between marsoc and navy seals?. From what I read,it seems marsoc is more versatile than seals. Marsoc goes more into infantry moreso than seals. Is the training similar?. Do they have there own buds?
@@jaktil9246all special operations units have their own selection process. Buds is specific to navy seals. While MARSOC can be used in a maritime role, they do a lot of other things too ie: counterterrorism, foreign internal defense, direct action, and capturing denied or hostile areas.
Don’s journey is eerily reminiscent of my journey through the Army, minus the MARSOC part.😂 Great interview and God bless you and keep you safe, Josh. Stay on it brother! Ever Vigilant.
Most Vietnamese want to fight for America 🇺🇸 they understand what freedom is all about.
A lot of Vietnamese in America are children or grandchildren of the refugees of South Vietnam Before it fell to the north vietnamese. All of those people had they not escaped to America would have been executed or tortured to death by the North Vietnamese. America helped save their lives By keeping up our end of the bargain of helping and saving the people of south vietnam by giving them citizenship in our country. Not like Joe Biden Leaving the Middle East the way we did and leaving thousands of interpreters and soldiers that we trained to fend for themselves and die When we swore, we would never abandon them for helping us and fighting alongside us.
Great interview. The guy he talks about “Prime” was on the Shawn Ryan show and his story is insane.
I'm deeply grateful for you and to you, Don ❤
Thank you for your service.
Thank you for your service brother...
That's so wild. I went through a comms course with this guy. Solid stand up guy for sure. Working with these Marines has been the highlight of my career. Easily.
Thank you for your service 🇺🇸
Absolutely enjoyed listening to this man speak.
Great communicator. Picturesque. Feel like I’m seeing everything he described!
👍🏼👍🏼
Had a similar experience with my recruiter SSGT Martinez. Definitely made an impact in my life and went above and beyond to change my life. He believed in me and I thank him.
God bless you and all Veterans for helping others 🙏 enjoy your life 😊
Hope the channel continues to grow, super underrated
thank you for sharing brother, I appreciate it
Good shit! I’ve spoke to Prime a couple of times. Really like what you guys are doing with Deep End!
This was great. Thanks👍
Favorite episode by far!
Welcome home Marine.
I wish he would have gone into more detail with some of his stories, I was wanting to hear more. Awesome guy
Thanks so much for these videos a real insight what these guys go through. God bless our troops thanks so much for y’all’s sacrifice.
Hey thank you for your service, being part time from Long beach mostly from redondo beach but thanx for your story on CZcams.
Thank you for your service sir! 🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing this Story Brother! My familia are War Veterans! 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
respect to your family tradition !
Thank you for your interview and service. God bless our military and those who pay the ultimate sacrifice for our country and freedom. GOD BLESS THE USA.
So inspiring to see this. Fantastic. Well done sir. The Nation is so proud to have you as one of its heroes and leaders. This is America in a nutshell. The rest is noise generated by ignorant ingrates. Move on!!!!! Never give up!!!!!
well said !
Amazing narratives! -Respect!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for these great interviews
Appreciate you watching brother 👊🏼🇺🇸🤙🏼
Tran is very humble yo. Wish I was as humble
My son wants to join the marines, he’s not quite old enough yet. Seems set on it. So I started looking into it and that’s how I came across one of the videos from this channel. And now I’ve watched so many on this channel! This gives the best insight into what each marine is experiencing. From all the research I’ve done about it since my son told me, this has given me more information and made me feel like I am starting to understand it more than anything else. Thank you!
It's no picnic. It is life changing even for us non combat vets. But I wouldn't trade my 4 years for the world. The experiences, maturing, time overseas experiencing new cultures, making friends from all around the country that became like family to me. The emotional maturity, mental resilience, and perspective on life are enough to make it worth it. Been out for nearly 7 years and rarely a day goes by I don't think about my time. Be very proud and supportive. I was that 16 year old dead set on joining. Even graduated early and turned 18 in boot camp. I hope all goes well for your family.
@@stenkamx5406 thank you very much. Thanks for taking time outta your day to give that advice and support. Thanks for serving. I appreciate the insight!
"...lived in a house with three other families..."
AND STILL ENDED UP intelligent enough to meet service requirements and not the slightest tone or micro-expression indicating anything other than happiness present.
Crazy, man.
I watched Prime Hall on The Shawn Ryan show and it was great. Would love to see you on that show as well Don.
Salute🇺🇸
The Army was fun don’t ya think? Thanks For Serving!!
Awesome to hear about FOB Rob, we were stationed at CP Pankalay and then had an element at the towers.
Awesome channel 🤘🏼🤙🏼
such an awesome interview & stories. i had already left iraq by the time he was in basic. but it’s so fascinating to know how the Marines then handled the battle in terrorism.
I served with SSgt Sky Mote before he went EOD. He was a badass Marine and is missed
Beautiful soul ❤️ As a Canadian, I lived in Vietnam for 2+ years. Started in Da Nang😊 moved to Hue. Pandemic hit. Stayed. Best experience ever. Prior to going, I had studied the history.. forever! There is so much more ..this is easily a 6 hr podcast ❤ # Shawn Ryan #Mike Drop #Urban Valor
He seems like an awesome guy
With all do respect to Angels and Heroes, that recruiter was being an Angel.
Checking in from jknews
Haha!!! This dude tells NO lies. Especially about the start of ITC, back then. I was 1 of his instructors. Thanks for the memories! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm intrigued about 'Raider Spirit'.
Is it really (still) as he describes--like 10 days & 6 hours of sleep (and 190 miles of foot movement)!? Is it truly like 'Hell Week'? It sounds crazy.
Some commenter on IG (also familiar with ITC) described it as harder than 'Hell Week'. I can't even imagine that.
You never know who has that warrior in them. From double rat mortorman to bad ass operator. I can't imagine packing all that weight in gear being his size then. Damn
The army saves lives; but it also takes it.
Semper Fi 🦅🌎💪🏾🇺🇸⚓️
Former 1/4 weapons right here!
You see Green berets, Rangers, etc. everyday. There’s thousands of them. Meeting Marine MARSOC and AF JTAC guys however is the equivalent of meeting a ghost.
And delta and TF units
Refreshing to see somone who grew up like me. I went to private schools till junior high. Was thrown into public school. I wanted to join the Army since I was a kid. I was too smart. I never got arrested for the things I did. I had a patent on my look.
Don, Matt, Sky, and Ryan were some of the greatest guys I ever worked with. I never heard that you got the guy. I’d love to know more.
I was 8132 when we put a BP next to the glass house. Surprised to hear it was still there.
While both of my parents were World War II veterans I never served so I don't understand what your jargon means. Can you please explain that to those of us that don't understand?
Great episode but these vids need to have time stamp on them if you watch some then jump back in to finish it later
Crazy interesting 😮
I rocked the M16A2 as a standard issue. Now I feel old.
Same here 😂. Didn’t know it was a musket 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ayyy found him from jk news originally
Wow....to hear first hand on what MARSOC has done in Battle of Marawi is just awesome. Although the presence has to really lay low....not to mention, President Duterte always talked negatively about US Forces in the PI. Im glad to hear US was helping in that battle. Raaaahhhhhh!!!
Sgt Powell thoughts when he got the call: "Got this mothafucka.. Here comes E7 baby" bro ended up getting a 12 year federal sentence for shoplifting 😂
Check Capt Le , I use srsrioned oceanside USMC Camp Pendleton and EWTGPAC
We have the same bday! Semper Fi SSgt 🫡
Swervin’ Dervin!
Is this dude Prime Hall's buddy? He mentioned the Afghan inside attack on three guys and one of the guys name was Sky. I seem to remember that from Prime Hall's interview. These men are straight up warriors, straight up Heroes and here in America we are much safer with men like this putting it all on the line to keep us safe. ❤
What type of hand to hand combat training to Marsoc marines get trained in ?
Damn. This guy is alpha plus he looks like a model.
I can just imagine after that seal situation they're just like peace dog
Good ol new river...and stonebay....nowhere else would you show up at 0400 and stand in formation for 2 hours before pulling rifles for the range
I had the same thing with my first unit I got there in 04 right after they got back from the invasion of Iraq, so it’s like me and three other guys are new with no experience and all those guys so yeah intimidating.
this guys birthday is coming up soon, hope everything is well and my birthday is the day before lol how crazy
Stove-pipe Boy! 🤘👀👽👽👽
Proactive is always better than being reactive !
I used to fight alot, both competitively and in the bars. A real shit head. My buddy and I got into it with a couple Tongan guys one night. The cops couldn't believe that 2 of us fought of 5 of them. Cop said "they're the most fierce people on earth. It takes doze s of baton strikes to the head just to get their attention. " Hahaa. I ended up in the hospital for stitches as I got a bottle and a glass smashed on my head and and face. If you were eating dinner at a Bennigans in Euless, TX in the early 2000s, sorry we ruined your evening. 🤷♂️
Ha ha Useless,Tx we call it. I remember that bennigans there when I was just a kiddo.
Pretty hilarious how so many of these guys were arrested so many times but the USMC found a way to get them in. At the draw down of the war they were getting super picky with who they let in
It’s to bad if you have a temper and take things personal….those characteristics and personality traits eliminate these awesome experiences….
Poor guy had to drive home everynight during field problems😢 j/k Oorah!
weird question, but what brand was his t-shirt?
Peace...side note: THERE ARE ALLIGATORS IN THOSE SWAMPS AT CAMP LEJEUNE AND IN NORTH CAROLINA PERIOD...AND SOUTH CAROLINA TOO! EVERY MARINE NEEDS TO KNOW THIS! LOL!
I can see that, as Catholics in Vietnam, it might not be very safe to live there after 1975 (while retaining one's own way of life). Glad his parents got out and made it to the US so this kid could join up and serve in the same branch of the military that landed at Da Nang in 1965. History is weirdly circular.
Insider attacks is one of sh*ttiest problem in a war.
I used to live in LB
👍🏼🙏🏼🇺🇲
🤙🏼🇺🇸
That’s a badass right there. God bless the US military god bless America
👍🔥👌😊
