First comedian I've seen talk about the military and not use boring stereotypes

As a Marine, if you loose your wallet, sure enough another Marine will find it. He’ll find you and bring it back with all the cash and cards still in it. But, if you leave a piece of gear laying around…it’s gone. You’ll never see it again. “Gear adrift is a gift”.

"I can get you out of this shit." Damn funniest line I've heard in a long time.

Funny how the Air Force doesn’t even bother trying to recruit anyone, lmao.

"I'll join the 3rd" hilarious 😆 🤣 😂

"Can't stop, won't stop. 512 every two weeks." im dead

I guarantee he intentionally left the Air Force out as more of an inside joke for us active/vets. You know the AF ain't going to no damn trailer park looking for recruits XD

Air force guy had me convinced to join, till they looked at my grades and test scores. Told me I may be better suited for the Marines or Army.

I scored a 91 on the ASVAB when I was 16. Army called, Marines called, Air Force called, and the Navy recruiter came to my house, sat in my kitchen and sold me a line of bullsh-t. 20 years and 21 days later... I called it a career.

$24K is good for an 18yo and you don't pay living expenses like rent and food

RIP Cpl Jason Dunham. He was a Marine. He did jump on a grenade. He did save lives.

"You ain't gotta work no more"....LMAOOOOO😂😂😂😂😂I can't breath

Dam i lo -key remember them 500$ checks fresh outta high school thought I was a millionaire.🤣🤣🤣

Marines: First ones in, last ones to know

Man he wasn’t lying about the army 😂😂😂

He was in the Navy. I served with him in the Ceremonial Guard. I was there 93 - 95.

This is black people story telling style, he mastered it that’s why he is black famous, I fawk with him tho

I used to wrestle in the Army, and it’s true that about 85% of the time all we did was wrestle. Placed 3rd in the 1996 Olympic trials. It was the best time and worst time in my military career, traveling, starving, competing, starving, got a lot of National/international experience, starving, and made some good friends.

I died 🤣🤣🤣, I joined the marines tho, this guy is a legend

My late uncle was a Marine who jumped in and took care of that grenade to save other's lives. He lived and was decorated for it. So proud of him... he was a Master Gunnery Sargent.

I ended up in the marine corps when the recruiter came looking for another guy who worked at the supermarket who was scheduled to ship off soon snd he was like hey while you’re here ..

My Marine recruiter was pretty straight with me. He promised I would get paid, a place to sleep and food. The Marine Corps kept the bargain.

My starting pay in the Navy was $321 a month before deductions in 1973. I think my biweekly checks were about $125. But I grew up on a farm where I did get any money, so that was a big step up.

Let's all have a moment of silence for poor Chris. He deserved better.

I was in the Marines in the 80's. My first check was $900 after boot camp. I made about $10,000 a year. I remember thinking that was a lot.

As a proud Marine, that was hilarious.

I felt the same way when I went to the Army. Lmao

As a Navy vet, I don't always trust my shipmates, but I always trust any Marine lol.

Go Navy😀👍 What up shipmate. Thanks for your service and entertainment.

Damn sign this guy up for the next USO tour overseas!!!!! 😂👍

That first military paycheck is something special. Shoutout to all the Vets!!

And this is why Gary is always invited to the picnic/bbg whatever... he's just himself. We black folk love him because he is real. He's doesn't put on and he doesn't put down to raise himself up. He is our (or at least my) play cousin for real.

This is 100% true. Army recruiter lied his ass off telling me about my own private dorm and leave on weekends.. NAVY dude was like this will be hard work and you get out what you put into it. I respected that.

hahaha, right out of high school my first Navy paycheck was $386.00, I thought I was RICH. Of course, minimum wage was $3.35/hr at the time.

You're the most underrated comedian ever

This ain’t an NWA match; this more like a Kenny G match 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Thanks for your service Gary ! From a former Marine . . Semper Fi brother.. my dads name is Gary too

🤣😂I GOT YOU... 24K BABY!!!💖🙌🏽💯💎👑

WHERE IS THIS GUYS NETFLIX SPECIAL?!

Gary and I are around the same age. I joined the Marines in 1997. My first three months worth of pay for being in basic training was just over $1800 after deductions (savings bonds, flight home). I got home and acted like I WAS BRAND NEW. $475 every two weeks doesn't sound like much, but when you consider that's $950/month with ZERO obligation...no rent, no food, no utilities, no cable...the only thing I was responsible for truly was laundry and toiletries. I know a lot of people who make good money that would love to be +$950 at the end of each month after expenses.

Thanks Gary for keeping me laughing every single day for FREE it’s crazy

20 years in the Coast Guard, same pay, same ranking system. Ended up serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom for most of 2003. Loved every minute of it.

Thanks Gary, I can always count on you to get a good laugh in, when I'm feeling down, thanks bro, I love you man 💯💯💯

I was a active Marine dude had me dying ...damn when you all get the raise ..when i was in we made about 500 for the whole damn month

Had to laugh at the Army wrestling story. I was stationed in Germany with 3 guys. 1 played tennis the other baseball and the last guy a boxer and that's exactly what the recruiter told them.

Ha, I remember my first paycheck in the Marines was $551 (gross before deductions) and that was for the whole month. We got paid once a month and the first weekend after payday the bars and clubs off base were hopping, the next weekend a little less, the 3rd weekend not so much and the last weekend before the next payday it was dead. The on base enlisted bar worked the opposite and was dead after payday and got more crowded thru the month as guys ran out of money.

Army girl here 💪🏼 and I was 39/40 m16!!! Beautiful and bad ass

Remind me of when I came to USA in 85 and my salary was $4.00 hr. . I thought I was going to be rich in no time. Until I found out that a Public Bus trip was $1.00.🤣😂🤣

As Marine and wrestling coach this is all True and it had me rolling and sounding like a mouth breather

Recruiters talk a good game in the army. Got to basic and all my drills talked about was IEDs and ambushes when they found out I was 88mic.

The way Gary switch to another topic while staying on the previous topic is smooth asf. 😂😂 n he’s funny asf.

I had the Air Force and Marines recruiting me. Army wasn't a consideration. Didn't want to go Navy because I didn't want to be stuck on ships...spent 11 months of my 4 years in the Corps on them anyway! USS Dubuque, USS Germantown and USS Ponce.

The reason we haven't left Iraq is because there is all this sand and no beach for the Marines to storm.

Why the hell didn't you join the army, you would have been right at home in the 7th Cavalry Regiment, because that unit is full of Garry Owens!

Lmao! I’m glad to see you get the respect you deserve. I have been fan for a while. I have seen you live at the Taft Theatre and Liberty funny bone.

$25k out of highschool is legit. Especially in the 90's.

Wait no Air Force? I did my AF basic training at Lackland AB in San Antonio.

Gary is just Hilarious,,,you know he in the zone when his accent comes out

Honesty, makes the best comedy! He speaks about his life and just says it in a funny way! And DWade is his BFF 😂

Hahaha dude when he went "chris..? Chris??" I couldnt stop hahaha just discovered this guy. Like your comedy!!

😂😂 "Your done mom. I got u."

My dad was special ops Marine Corp DMZ in NAM . Lost both legs to m16 fire . He was Major Payne with Ermey vibes . That kinda raising kept me living right .

Omg, Fort Sam Houston is there and there’s probably a ton of corpsmen there. That’s where we train.

Straight up! Gary speaking TRUTH for real! 🤣😂🤣

I remember one of my drill instructors said, "that jumping grenade thing is stupid. You get home to your family by any means necessary. God, family, and then the core". He was my favorite drill instructor.

Honestly if more young men and wo.en joined the armed forces out high school we would have a completely different generation to build the future around. The rectitude, the discipline, and the character building offered by the Armed forces helps shape many people for success after their service. God bless all those who gladly give their lives for our freedom 🙏

Gary owens has a gift that no one posseses and that's he is the realist brother out there black or white keep blessing us and show us how to Love one and other

I was in the Army for 2 hours the Salvation army. Then from there I tried the Navy, Old Navy.

Wooooooowww....I'm an Army combat vet, deployed twice to that dump Iraq 04-05, and I cannot believe the recruiter tried to pitch that wrestling bulls*** to him, cuz yep, that dude was lyin thru his teeth big time....you may wrestle for the Army, but that will only happen AFTER your deployment overseas....lmao

Us Marines have that impression lmfao!!!!! Love this guy!!!!

I Wanna be part of the many!!! I needed that laugh, love you Owen

Hey G I was stationed in San Diego 86 Sonar tech. The McDonald's was the meeting spot. I was telling my cousin Talent you always been funny as hell

Exactly what I experienced. Marine talked about how badass being a Marine was, Army dude lied the whole fucking time, Navy dude just told it how it was, and Air Force dude talked about the money

Gary is hilarious 🤣🤣 🤣

i can so relate! i joined usaf in 1982. did my hitch then went ang. if i'd known the reserves was so much better, i'd have started there. ang has commanders that have a day job, so they get it.

The army got me. By the end of MEPs when you decide to choose your MOS I got shown a video about artillery and thought it was cool as hell...man the only thing that made it worth it was that 20k bonus.

Anyone, and I mean anyone can tell a story, but Gary makes it as if we hearing it for the first time every time! 😂😂😂😂

That was so true when I joined the Army in "85. You couldn't hit me in the ass with a green apple. I just knew I was rich. SMH. Loved every minute of it for 22 years. Go Army 13 Fox.

Lmfao! Appreciate your service brother. Im an MA in the reserves!

I am retired navy 84-04. Worked with marines on the aircraft carriers. They had Marine Squadrons. Nothing but respect for the Marines!

Back in 1969 I made $123 a month as a E-1 in the Marine Corp. A year later as an E-3, I made $155 plus combat pay was another $60 a month. I kept $20 a month and sent the rest home to my parents.

Wow it’s been so long that I’ve laughed so hard!!✌🏽😂

I remember lackland AFB did my basic back in “73” living in the old white wooden barracks…..went to SP school there too….

You have such a funny way of putting it! But you know you'd jump on in!!!

😂😂❤️🌟🌟💯 love ya Gary ❤️❤️

Veteran of Navy, Coast Guard, and Army. Coast Guard was the toughest basic, and the most adventurous service.

This was funny as hell. Thanks Gary 😂✨

I had a similar experience with recruiters. Navy guys were straight with me. And it worked out.

This dude is hilarious! So true though, we Marines love intensity! 5 mile hike or 5 mile run any day of the week

02:10 LMFAO "Oh Shit GRENADE!!!!" ... ... [Kicks with his foot] "Chris? Chris?"

“I can get you out if this 💩!!!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Joined twice, the Marines first, then later in life the Army. I was blessed to have honest recruiters both times.

🤣❤️🤣❤️🤣 *He's the Teena Marie of comedy!!!!*

God damn I can't remember when was the last time I laughed this hard..... Had me in tears the whole time 🤣🤣🤣

I swear I've seen this clip like 15 times. I'm dead 💀 every time! Lmao 🤣

Planning on enlisting in 2 years if I can get my life together. Nice to hear this kind of stuff tbh.

$24k in military is $60,000 civilian. Top grade medical care, excellent benefits, free housing or housing allowance, food is free that’s at least $10,000 a year minimum, clothing as well. It’s endless. My uncle is an Admiral. It wouldn’t surprise me if he makes $250,000 annually. Commanding a battleship is extensive experience.

I was an ET attached to a SEABEE battalion. They told me "They're Expeditionary... you know that, right?" I said, "What does that mean?" "They are boots on the ground..." I said, "Where do I sign?" Oorah SEABEES!

Absolutely hilarious brutha thanks. Subscribed

One of the funniest clips I've seen in a while 💀💀💀
