This is definitely the most requested video I have had. Rightfully so because the history of Reconnaissance and Marine Raiders are so intertwined it can leave someone filling a bit confused, I have your back. Not only does this video give you my military history, it also gives you the history of Marine Recon and Marine Raiders (MARSOC), the requirements to get into both units, and also some very sound advice from other Recon and Raider Operators. So get some popcorn, grab a notepad, and put your feet up. Enjoy! – Nick Koumalatsos

Really enjoyed the video and the information. Thanks for taking the time
Nick, Watching your video, I have to admit I have always admired the way the military can convey very precise, correct information in a succinct manner. Like the alphabet code: Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta... Also, the use of short acronyms to convey very complex information. I don't at all intend to be disrespectful, but can you do a video on acronyms that civilians can use to describe an activity? I think it might be funny. I will give you a very lame example, but maybe it might be an idea that you could run with. Here is my lol example: E/O @ 0-6 RECON K/M CC M/S. This translates to "My eyes opened at 6:00 AM and I stumbled towards my Keurig machine to make a cup of coffee. Mission was successful. I know it may sound dumb. Perhaps I just want to be able to talk just like you.do :) Maybe I just need to join the military.
