Many THANKS for the SUPPORT... - Zábava
So awesome to hear my name coming out of the legendary Don Shipley's mouth! So flattered that you like my channel, and can't tell you how much it means to hear you say that I'm doing right by the community. I've definitely made a lot of mistakes along the way, but I do feel like I've finally found my calling post military. Thank you very much Don!
EDIT -- spelling
Love both of you guys.. Awesome content! Thank you.
I do love your channel MrBallen, just found you a few weeks back and I have seen your shorts and Reddit as well. Both you and Don definitely know how to tell stories.
i've seen many of your vids and you're hilarious but i gotta know....
whats with the kentucky waterfall mullet? lol
I'll check out your channel bro *fistbump*
Hey Ballen don't fuck up Signed Don Shipley 🤣
I became a sailor in January, but for the longest time i used to watch your stolen valor videos back in highschool. I aint a SEAL but id like to say thanks for inspiring me to join the Navy.
So go to BUDS.
Full send it bro
Thank you for your service broo, I'm in the process of joining the marines rn
Wish me luck man
Go do it
Theres only one reason to join the navy,... great college,,.. or BUDS,,.. get some life guard🤙🤙🤙🍻
I want you to know Don, we really enjoy your stories. Please don’t stop this style of videos.
totally agree.
@@JohnnyFontane528 Of course they are 'old stories'.... It didn't happen this morning!.
You cant even listen to an old soldier tell funny war (training) stories and derive the humour in it or at least see that others get pleasure from listening.
You Sir.... are the Beta round these parts.
Don, these are great and very funny!... (only to a select few of us apparently). (in this time continuum :).
Doing my best, Dozer... Your comment is really appreciated, Bro...
@@JohnnyFontane528 Dude, your comment is bullshit. Beta male???? Im a Alpha Male and agree with his statement 100%. You get the golden penis award!
Yessir
This Guy in addition to being a genuine bad ass!!
He could easily have been a stand-up comedian with a quick intellect like that...wow.
We here in the states will never know what we should thank him for..
Good stuff!!
Ron reminds me of Ron White! 😂
Awesome shout out to mrballen! That really brought a smile to my face because i love both of yalls channels. The fact that he gets your seal of approval sir is great to hear! Awesome! Both of yall keep up the good work!
We need to isolate Don's hair gene for the good of all mankind
I Have The Following Intel On Good Authority... Senior Chief's Hair Has Three Confirmed Kills.
They are working on the carbon fiber version. One stone two birds.
Yep, I'm fuckin jealous.
So biden can get it! No...
LOL I love when he catches fake Service members. lol I never served and laugh at fuckers who lie.
Mr. Ballen is a fuckin badass! And when i heard Shipley give him credit i almost cried hahahah Two legends.
Thanks Don , you are my second favorite warrior , the first is an infantry man who came home in 69 with his ass about shot off ,his health is slipping but for a boy ,me, of 9 to grow up with a hero like that was aww inspiring . Love to hear your stories !
I grew up with stories and the odd veteran. Every time I read an Americans story. I can’t help thinking of what I’ve heard from my friend about her granny getting dolled up in Manchester to go and dance with the yanks. If it wasn’t for your country I might not be here. From what I’ve heard you where a sight to be seen. The impoverished Lancashire mill workers had never seen men so healthy and well fed.
My dad was a wounded ww2 veteran, died in 1981. He was a solid guy who could take care of business , but was a positive person . He went through some serious shit in the south pacific. He was the best dad a guy could have!
Litttle late here but thank you for his service
Thank you for telling us about your Dad 🙏
God bless him and thanks for his service.
The greatest generation
The Marines and Corpsmen that "fought" in the Pacific are baddest men that ever walked this earth. Yes there were some Navy and Marine Special Op guys ankle deep in the chit. The regular Marines and the attached Navy Corpsmen were shoulder deep for weeks on end.
I absolutely love listening to Dons real life experiences in the SEAL teams. You could sat down with a 5th of Jack Daniel's and drink the whole bottle with him while he tells his stories. I absolutely love the Shipley family.
The job of old Frogs is to teach young Frogs how to become old Frogs.
Awe how sweet........lol
Well-said.
Gonna leave this on 69 likes
i just want to stay a tadpole forever. i don wanna grow up.
Well said , as the saying goes you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.That old dog has more tricks than you know.
“And everyone is just happy to be there” priceless 😃
"Storytime" with Don Shipley. Fuckin love it man.
Just sit back with a cold one and wait for it!
Yeah mate. . Couldn't agree more 🍺💣💥
ME too lol these guys are cool . I could never do what they do. not 1 day. I seen a video on seal training wow crazy shit. I would not last 10 min lol these guys are baddddddd asssssssss. I never served I have Medical issues . I love the fact they served for us. Shit I cant even spell lol . THANK YOU VETS
i want to be around him on the the 4th of july...BOOOM ! Oh shit !
@@SWPG He seems like a good dude .
ya ass wipe for the ears. thats coming from an old military person
The look on his face when he says, "one of my finest pieces of work" is classic. Great story, Don. I kinda wish I was your neighbor. I bet you still have a good time with the "fireworks" around the 4th of July.
I love that story, Sir. You are so funny and your impression of the grouch was priceless. Thank you for finding these men that pretend they are Seals. My father was a flight engineer in the Air Force for 21 years. He is gone now, but would have loved your channel. You are so great and so is your wife. Thank you!
I wish I could have served with some one like while I was in the Marines! I probably would have stayed for 20!
I'm former USAF and did my tech school at NSHS at Balboa Hospital in San Diego back in 95 as a joint training unit so I got to learn everything about the Navy and met some cool dudes who were Corpsman. In case you didn't know, Mr. Shipley not only was a Navy Seal but also a Senior Chief. Senior Chief's alone deserve the utmost respect. Combine that with being a SEAL, basically means you basically shut up and listen. I know every branch has their rivalries, however, as an A1C in the USAF at a Naval C School seeing Marines and Seaman and some Soldiers come through the medical unit at 18 years old and also hearing the stories of the guys that have seen and have gone through what they have, you respect everyone that wears the uniform.
Love your call out to Mr Ballen as well as your stories. Respect. Thank you
GOD HE'S COOL!!!!
A Seal Team with explosives is second only to five 12-year-olds with a gross (144) of real M80s circa 1956. And I'm sure you know that. Love your videos and thank you for your service.
I had no idea Mr Ballen was a SEAL. I only knew about him cuz of the spooky videos, I didnt even know he'd served. What a cool guy! Not only an incredible storyteller, but a navy SEAL too! I guess the two of you have that in common
Yeah he absolutely is, he even has stories about some of the SEAL stuff on his channel
He literally says it in most of his videos, are you dumb?
@@abztract1 no he does not....listen closer
@@abztract1 No he doesn't lol. I've been watching him since he was under 100k subs.
The most loving and kind and compassionate soldiers-- are the most dangerous men on the planet!!!!!! SALUTE, BROTHER!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤🫡🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mr. Ballin is amazing... i watch him all the time.. sometimes binge on his stories. You're awesome too Don! Love your channel!
Love hearing you give some love to Mr. Ballen. Great guy doing good things after his time in service.
As for yourself... keep doing what you’re doing.
3/75
Very commendable to not only out stolen Valor, but also to protect legitimate Veterans who may be scrutinized, it's even more important. Outstanding behavior.
How did i miss this one, i started watching mr ballen when he was first getting started and was amazed at his ability to turn words into pictures. After watching your dan blizarian video it makes perfect sense that he was a seal. The guy is personable, friendly, and comes across like he can easily take the lead. Awesome video Don
It's just a matter of time before you and Mr Ballen are huntin' duck, chuggin' a beer by the fire and trading SEAL stories! Raise a toast to yourselves gentlemen and keep the stories coming!
I've been a mr ballen fan for some time now. I agree, he seems like a class act. I bet you two together swapping stories would be entertaining as hell!!
😂 As soon as you said raining snow I knew exactly what had happened. Too funny!!
The Don Shipley hand-to-face slap-whether at the end of outing a fake, or acknowledging his own gaffe, is an iconic all-American gesture. Classic.
Just as authentic, expressive, and understandable as anything.
MrBallen is awesome. He eats grenades and spits out bullets. Anyone who hates on him is really a ghost account for the Like Button.
Senior Chief Shipley, my son just joined delayed entry and is competing for a SEAL contract now. His first PST was yesterday at the Amphib base. He has worked his ass off for the last 6 months training for the PST since graduating Michigan. Blew off the OCS path and went enlisted. Your videos and stories have been very inspiring foe our family. Thank you.
How is your son doing?
How is your son? Is he a SEAL now?
Former Buds 131... Don, just wanted to take a second to tell you that I have been following your videos for a few years and I think it's awesome what you do with exposing stolen valor, fake SEALs, your Seal Training Experience and most importantly your work with wounded vets. I have always been in awe of the SEALs ever since I first met some on a Med Float on board the USS Nassau in 2001. I was a simple 0331 machine Gunner with A Co, 1st Bn, 8th Marine Regiment who doesn't claim to be Chuck Norris but amazed at you guys who are. Thanks for the entertainment and the important work you do. Semper Fi. Cpl. Brinkmeier
"There are very few personal problems that cannot be solved through a suitable application of high explosives."
Scott Adams from Dilbert cartoon
lol that was a hilarious story ... had me laughing just picturing this Sergeant Major lol
Stay Humble, Gentlemen. I was a late starter to the community with just six year to retirement. I was Injured 2 days from completing selection (back injury). I was older than most and beat up but I enjoyed the opportunity and encouraged many after, to volunteer if they had it in their heart to become a Giant. Two friends have retired from SF and one, as far as I know is still active. Thank You All for your service. I know in my heart, if not for that back injury that plagues me to this day, I too would have walked among Giants. Much Respect
Fuck my PTSD is cured after listening to this. I was pissing myself laughing for the first time in ages. Love from Australia
Me TOO😂😂👨🏻🚒
Thanks Doc
@@ZAN-THE-GOAT u keep at it. We are not quitters. No matter what country we may be from. There’s a lot of good we did ! So we just got beat this ptsd 💩👨🏻🚒🇺🇸.
I am in the process of getting out. It takes about 9 montbs here with various courses you have to do at St John of God Hospital at Burwood NSW. It is every Thursday. It is ok and you do learn some things but its good to be around others that have been through what I have after giving 21 years of service. One day after Covid, I really want to go to the US and catch up with a few people and also if allowed go to Dons farm & do some hunting etc. There is a guy that lives in horse cave kentucky?? I would love to find him and catch up and yeah thats part of my bucket list.
@@ZAN-THE-GOAT I am also forced to retire. Started process takes about a year. I’ve been to a place near me that has the same kinda treatment you have as well as I follow out IAAF center for excellence with webinars for fire/ Ems personnel. I have 34 years in worked in the city of Worcester known now for the Worcester 6 all 6 ff died in a warehouse fire. I was working as a medic that night. We never had tools to deal with aftermath like we do now. Stand strong head up be proud. My step sons a Usmc aviator and Officer he noticed a change in me & recently said retire u earned it.” U seen a lot so get better “ I live 40 miles from Boston if your stateside u got a place up here to stay my family would be proud to. Have you . My wife is also a ff medic. We are orkingbon getting a therapy barn with our horses & some dogs. I have a emotional support dog / pet now. Golden retriever. They all help a lot with anxiety any panic attacks etc. .
I was at Pickett in the early 90’s running through dynamic entries when assigned to to a 3 letter agency. A SEAL Team was using demo on the range in our vicinity. A few of the guys came over to watch our entries and provided some solid pointers on their way. Great group of guys with zero bravado/attitudes. Great group of guys.
Don, I love listening to your military stories. Always lively, animated and entertaining. Honestly, hearing you talk makes me remember my Father. Miss him every day. His SF stories were entertaining too and his laugh was infectious. Thank you for sharing!
It’s really awesome to see you acknowledge MrBallen. From the stories, he had major problems with other AD seals that had a problem with him telling his stories, which I’ll never understand…so it’s awesome to see you give him a shout out
The LOA. Retired Sapper, myself. Thank You for your service, Sir. Live for the bang
I died at the end. “Any questions?” Then a explosive goes off right after. Lol
Please more stories like this.. this made me laugh so much.. it was like listening to my father talk about when he was in the Army.
As a former pyrotechnician, I totally understand the desire to get creative with explosives.
@@JohnnyFontane528 Well, yeah, you wouldn't. Because Laos and stuff. (Seriously, this comment made me laugh so hard I woke the freaking dogs up at 6am, ya jerk.)
The plethora of refrigerated water fountains at a any military dump site in the late 80s - early 90s was because one model of ‘s line had lead components. I had the dubious task of determining if our BNs water fountains were gtg, which actually took a whole day because how often do you think about water fountains? They’re not an accountable item. Barracks? Check. Orderly rooms? Check. Motor pool? Wow, there’s three. How about the Commo office in that remote building? There’s one in the basement of this storage room? Oh, it used to be an office. Most of ours were made by , but none of ours were that model. I did see pallets of water fountains at one of the yards of nonsense the Army doesn’t scrap for some reason, including a whole fleet of Gama Goats, just in case we changed our mind about them
As a retired Army EOD CSM, I love this story. I have many similar stories from Fort AP Hill! Nothing quite as satisfying as pissing range control off with some explosions that may or may not have been within range limits.
I come from a family of Veterans my dad and grandpa and 3 of his brothers served. I love military history and yes the Navy Seals are my favorite. Don, I could listen to you all-day. I have such respect for you and all who truly have served. All of you are true heroes and I thank everyone of you for your unselfish sacrifice.
Thanks chief! I dont have alot of money with 3 kids i appreciate these stories . GOD BLESS
DON'T STOP THIS SERIES! Have you considered going on other military podcasts?
I'm on it, Dismiss... I've done a good number of podcasts but always up for more if I can do them by phone. Thanks for the comment...
You should subscribe to Dons site, the $ goes towards a great cause
Thanks for sharing
@@donshipleyformerbuds131 it would be awesome if you got on jockos podcast and did an in person podcast
Check out Don and Dianes site.. tons of videos and Ask Don and Diane Shit is the best. 10 bucks a month! It’s well worth it!! No joke check it out , you can cancel it anytime. Love Shipley’s videos..
Such an awesome story, Don!!! Keep em coming! PLEASE! I was just a Motor T Marine from 2005-11 but one time in my 6 years of service, I got to go to a demolition range! Oh god!! I had my hazmat and ammo licenses for the trucks, so I was the ammo/explosives driver for a platoon of Marine combat engineers. They let me play with C4 and pop a few things off. It was a hell of a good time 👍
Thanks again, Mr. Shipley
The strike of the Mad Bubbler Blaster is one the funniest of the many fabulous episodes Don has has shown to his fellow vets. 10:04
When I heard Don say "Time on Target" I immediately thought of that artillery tactic of coordinating & calculating artillery fire from multiple locations to land on target at the same time. I recall this was a specialty of the New Zealanders in WW2 with devastating effect.
Scotty its still used.
@@roybladea6180 With even more precise targeting. longer range and bigger boom-booms!
I love this! I also wonder if you’re shouting out Mr. “Ballen” because of range stories? He had a pretty rough experience on the range at 3rd phase (or whatever part the island is) that pretty negatively colored his time there. No one wants any extra attention and he and some others got it, by accident of course and debatably the fault of the trainees.
Glad he pushed through and I find him to be a real credit to your fraternity. He has an amazing channel that isn’t just rehashed war-stories or talking about how drunk everyone got: his view is on his future, not just his past, and speaks to the truth that being in the teams isn’t the only part of a well-lived life.
Salute to you sir and thanks for these great stories!
The only thing more bad ass than Navy Seal Don Shipley, is Navy Seal Don Shipley's hair.
Hey Don, In 1988 at Aberdeen Proving grounds MD. I was a young Marine PFC attending Ordinance school ( Armoror Course) at the Army base... I was using the head and an Army SGTMaj came in...I finished and was walking out when he said, Dont they teach you to wash your hands after you piss in the Marines??? I replied They teach us not to piss on our Hands!!!
Don is like the Uncle you could listen to for hours as well always looked forward to his company. Haha your a great guy Don! Your making a change slowly each day. Thank you again for your service and duties!! 100%
Seeing that old film with all those explosions, 😂 😂 😂
This was one of my favorite episodes!
Thx for the chuckles Don....us old Marines love the Seals
I had a similar incident some years ago. Copy machine is acting up at the airport. Open up the guts and there's toner everywhere in there. I say, well that doesn't look right, so I take it out into the hangar and blow compressed air inside it.
Holy shit, boys. That hangar was so full of toner floating around it looked like smoke from a fire. Of course there's tools, shelves, equipment, airplanes....it coated every single fucking thing in that hangar in a film of toner. Surprisingly I didn't get in too much shit over it, but I was washing corporate jets for a while.
🤣🤣🤣
PC lLoad Letter?
@@BUTCH0120 "wtf does that mean?" Lol.
Honestly, I’d rather deal with tiny foam balls……..Toner just sucks.
One of our help desk guys was changing one out, and the brand new one wasn’t seam sealed.
The entire cartridge broke in half, and dumped on his pants and shoes.
He just turned around and went home.
You could see the perfect imprint on the carpet where his shoes were…..
Hell of a war story.
Love the stories, Senior Chief! Had a huge smile the whole time I was watching
Love the stories Don!
Thanks, Pickenit... It means a lot...
@@donshipleyformerbuds131 You make such awesome videos! CZcams is much different now, you should consider making copyright claims on other people's videos if they use your content! I really think you would grow to be another huge and successful military channel
@@donshipleyformerbuds131 Don anyone ever tell you, that you look like a werewolf? Just like that old movie called Teamwolf starting
Michael J Fox, you look like you'd be a family member of his in the movie.
LOL 😆 Love what you do Sir, keep it up!!
GREAT STORY!!! And thank you for validating Mr Ballen.
I enjoy his content…..even more with your validation. 👍😃
I was once at the smoke pit near the dump and seen a crazy looking guy taking water fountains and I was wondering what he was doing with them
Hello Sir- I salute what your doing and wish you continued success. I’m an Army Veteran but I think I speak for all Service Branches when I say, Thank You. My most recent run in was at the grocery store, and a kid saw my Purple Heart License Plates, he comes up and thanks me and then says, I was in Vietnam. I just had to shake my head because this kid was 20 maybe 23. Vietnam? Burns my ass. Thanks again, you’re a cool brother.
Wow. I notice purple heart and service license plates all the time for just that reason. I give a salute. How someone can lie to your face while also paying respects is just so bizarre. I also thank you for your service and sacrifice.
Love, love, love the stories and recollections how Don continues to push the edge of the envelope!!! Keep ‘em coming Don!!!!
Ballen is a great story teller, I love the one he told about Clint Eastwood.
They really need to make a movie about Shipley. That would be epic as hell!
I'm seriously debating on faking being a Navy Seal, calling Don and turning myself in just in hopes he would jump in his car and come see me! Love what you and your wife are doing Don and thank you for your service to our country 👍
I'm all in... I was thinking that same thing 😆🤣✌️. Seriously I'm in
😆😆
I pissed off a retired SEAL as a Naval cadet, maybe 11 years old. Me and my buddy found a can of spray paint floating in the water by our boats and painted KISS on the wooden bulkhead. He was William Francis, who was a vet of the Bay of Pigs, and in the famous Life magazine pictorial. This was the 70s. We had an old Sub Chaser, or patrol boat of some sort.
Former PO2/LCDR here. I happen to know for a fact, from personal experience, that part of the SEAL advancement exam is storytelling ability. I never met a SEAL Chief/Senior Chief who couldn't make me laugh my ass off with real-world stories.
Facts.😂
Ain’t nothing like inhaling some pot drinking coffee & listening to this man🙏🙏 much love & respect from San Diego🇲🇽🇲🇽
If I could see Don in a tux just waving his hands around like he's conducting and explosive orchestra I'd die happy.
Don, been watching your stuff for years, awesome!!!
Hey, as a former Coastie, any news on USCG seals? Heard it was true???
Just wanted to hear. Thanks, you guys are awesome!!!!!!
Thanks Sailor!
My old SGT MAJOR was a SON TAY raider, he was stuck in a artillery unit in Germany. He was always walking around with a mean look on his face! He would run the piss out of us and smoke a couple of cigarettes and carry on. If you said good morning to him he would LQQK you over to make sure you weren't gonna piss him off with your hair cut or uniform before he replied .R.I.P SGT Major Billy Moore! He was a bad ass!!!!
Hello Don, I am enamored with navy seals. I am a former juvenile delinquent, and I managed to pull my head out of my ass because I wanted to be a navy seal. I was a huge seal wanna be, so I started reading books. one of the first books I read was rouge warrior by Rick Marcinko from then on I tried to emulate how you guys think, the discipline you all have. I could never actually be a seal because I am a Canadian for one but my lack of education and bad attitude wouldn't have helped either. But from trying to emulate you guys I Managed to find enough self discipline to pull my head out of my ass and turn my life around. so thank you for your service. I really enjoy the stories I hope you keep this up, when you are not exposing fakes. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
Those guys are tough in water. If you can't swim distance efficiently you'll wash out. That's your first test...and that's in a pool. Not cold. No stress. Know your strokes.
Canadians can join the US Military. Canada has a Special Forces Community you could work yourself into......If you can cut it, that is.
We had a chap in the Sqn, that needed to disappear his car 😂, we managed to get it 60ft in the air 😎, and by the end of the day, there was nothing left. Job done!
"I'm sure I gave him a few reasons not to like me"
You don't say
We love Mr. Ballen. I love how he transitioned and didnt end up doing anything regarding the military. He cut his teeth making horror videos and they are incredibly entertaining.
Please keep up this series. Hilarious.
I was in Germany back in the 1970’s and was on a competing m60 team.We had to shoot at a German range with one stipulation. We had to take all the tracer rounds out of the belt . Well we loved messing with the Rads ( Comrads) , so on the last day we shot there we put all the tracer rounds on all the belts we have been saving. No regular rounds just tracers rounds. What a hoot! Those were the days ! Thank you Sir for all the stories!
It is the lack of flinching for me. + The 2 trying to see the explosion 💥💥💥💥💥 THANKFUL FOR ALL YOU BAD ASSES ON OUR SIDE
God I wish he was my Chief when I was on active duty, he had to be a blast, no punt intended on liberty
"... i also loved training..." I knew you were insane. All SGM's are assigned a pet peeve at the academy. Don't take it personal.
Jenny Anydots, Sergeants Major have their pet peeves. But all of them are specially trained at yelling at people to "Get off my grass!".
@@cardo718 I believe that predilection starts at the 1SG level...
LMAO, FUNNIEST STORY I'VE HEARD IN A LONG TIME
The glow in your face to say the Man was a NAVY seal is priceless. haha. Glad he made you smile
Haha I love these stories. It always puts a smile on my face. Your awesome Don.😁
"Where am I gonna get target material?"
First thought: does the Sergeant Major drive to work....
Interesting story about the micro-styrofoam pellets. I never knew these fountains were so light. I wonder where they got the one for "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"?
I'm warming to you and your lady wife more and more and as a recent discoverer of you and your sideline in spotlighting quilts I am most impressed too, keep it safe and on a humour footing and best wishes from Dave here in Cambridge, England..
8:10 HUGE Fireball Explosion. Entire class flinches like school girls, Don is rock steady admiring how high the fire got. 😅
Speaking of WOKE culture Don, county your lucky stars the styrofoam incident did not happen in 2021, you would have been indicted on 22 violations of the EPA "Greeen" Act! LOL
Absolutely love these stories Don. I still say you need your own Podcast!! 👍
Such a great story teller Don, Thank you for your service 🙏❤️🇺🇸
I couldn't listen you tell stories forever. I was never in the service but have so much respect for men and women who devoted their time for all of us and have so much respect for all of you. God bless!!
Remember many years ago on the news when "George" decided to blow up a dead decaying whale on the beach? You KNOW he just wanted to see something explode. ☻
Ex-Royal Engineer , done demolition introduction on Army training ground in 1971 in Northern England . Group of about 30 of us sat round a fetid pool of water with a long dead sheep floating in it . So the instructor decides to show us what a small charge would do to it , well it blew it up into the air , fragmented it apart , and everyone present had pond water spray , mixed with sheep corpse rain all over them . The smell was so bad half the blokes were gagging and some even vomited and everybody's fatigues were stinking of putrefaction . Oh ! Happy memories .
I'm from Oregon, I remember that day very well.
They done this in Australia as well
The whale in Oregon was an EOD team, I believe. How does one calculate a counter charge for a whale -- not in any training or pub? It was a mess.
@@neilweegee6399 Ooooo...LOL...m' dyin' here ☻
When Don said water fountains, I was like “LOL, I think I know what’s about to happen”.
'Why do you Seals need to know how to blow up waterfountains..?!', is such a great sentence, both with and without context.
I was TAD at Camp Pickett for 3 weeks back in 1974 .... Old Wooden Barracks ..... It was like a Vacation !!!!
Imagine being a seal and big Don giving you a shout out! That would be legendary
I'm from Dinwiddie county Va about 30 miles away from Pickett and you can hear that shit everywhere all year around from miles away nothing but beautiful forests and blitz! Always love watching your stuff...
"One of my finest pieces of work" a true artist of destruction 🤣
What I love about your videos is like many great things in life, you always start it with something funny. Great recipe for success!
The "BIG TROUBLE" series is absolutely the BEST!
Awesome video ! You know something big happened when Don Shipley quietly says “whoosh” 🤣🤣 👍👍💪 Respect Don 🙏👍
From his family to you----Marine Col. John Ripley (deceased), would have loved this video. Not just the noise & your balls in doing so, but your dedication to showing/explaining how it was going to be. His explosive knowledge, taught to him by the Army Rangers, assured the destruction of the Dong Ha Bridge in Viet Nam which action awarded him the Navy Cross. BTW----the action also allowed him to be, as the only Marine, induction into the Army Ranger Hall of Fame. Don, as one of only 3 Military men in any branch of the US Armed Forces recognized as a Quad Body (training with Marine Recon, UDT, Army Airborne, and living & training in England as a British Royal Marine) most of his appreciation was always to the Corps with a close second to he UDT training! He loved the subs.
LOL. Between Don Shipley and Mr. Ballen, I stay entertained.
