This was such a cool experience. We wish you could have been there with us!
btw, what's the coolest thing that you learned about HIMARS?

[rogueniner]

I love the bicyclist driving around the himars in the beginning lol

[gamerforlife]

So glad this channel is getting official recognition. U guys deserve it for all the non biased factual reporting!

[Lamentta]

I can't wait for the video "I rode shotgun in a B-2 Spirit"

[gaveintothedarkness]

It so cool how you are getting to go and see all this tech up close and personal!

[jimsvideos]

Good on you for going out in the world to get all this, and good on the Corps for taking you along. I have no doubt that was a lot of early mornings, paperwork, briefings, security stuff and all that.

1:30 "They use the labels for tracking, and we had to blur some of the details for operational security"
_Proceeds to get as close as possible to the labels_

Such a powerful and versatile artillery system! I was MLRS for over 21 years and helped field HIMARS with some of the best NCOs and contractors I've ever worked with. I can tell you that the dude on the bicycle's ears were ringing for days at a minimum. That was a VERY dangerous place to be. The front covers of the rocket tubes blow out at high speed and are heavy. They could easily kill you being that close.

[flare]

Dude i dunno why in particular, but the UA dude casually driving bicycle next to a Himars launch made me lmao.

[MrLuxen]

While there is only a lock stopping the unauthorized access to the HIMARS, remember that there is a whole battalion guarding the installation as a whole before you can even get to that motor pool.

15:21 For reference The Philippines "generally" uses spanish terms for it's people. For nations ending with "n" sounds, it's transformed into "-no" or "-niano"
So Phillipine people are = Filipino (not Philippinise)

Same with the below:
American = Amerikano
Indian = Indiano
Chinese = Chino
Australian = Australiano (Australyano)

And so on. Exception to this is Japan.(As with all things in the world...)


Great coverage BTW!
At this point it's like your an official part of the Military Press LOL.

Hope you get more coverage on warbirds soon! Though I believe it might be challenging to film

[snacxzy]

Wow! This is a totally awesome episode👏, and it’s even cooler that you got to actually witness HIMARS IRL with the Marines!

[orellaminx]

0:54 Stuff like this is a nice touch, both that it is provided to the troops and that you decided to show it.

[Clickworker]

Sapphire windows scratches at a level 6 with deeper groves at a level 7.
Oh wrong channel

[astro]

I remember going to a airshow as a kid. It was at a joint base so the army brought out a striker to show off and it had a UPS shipping label on it.

[mariomaro]

You need to make a video "Why I have a man bun is not what you think" 😀

[LissanFarm]

The level of technology in modern combat machinery is mind-blowing! It's incredible to see how advanced these weapons have become, blending precision and power with cutting-edge innovation. 🚀💥

[navypowertv]

Yes! We love the bicyclist driving around the himars in the beginning 🤗🤗

[lukejackson]

It's really awesome that you got to do this. Congratulations, and great video.

[WinstonMakesMore]

What an awesome opportunity. Thanks for sharing, NWYT. Can't wait to see where this channel goes.
