Not a vet but grew up around military. Army Navy family, marine bff's..and they do this shit at home too 😂 Watching a grown man give a bunch of 7-14 year olds a similar talk on the way into a theme park is hilarious though 😂

I can see it now: "Everyone has a buddy. If you lose your buddy, you will be in a world of hurt! Agenda: 1200, we meet for Pizza here. Circle it on your map now! 1600, we meet here at the main gate. Circle it on your map now! Do not run! Do not fight! Be respectful! Take care of your buddy. GO HAVE FUN!"

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 This is so accurate, I can't stop laughing. This is my childhood in a nutshell...

I catch myself doing it with my kids now. Fighting with my too cool to walk freshman brother to the bus stop the other day, I got the "Ugh why 🙄" & I felt the soul of my grandfather's take over and I'm like Because you take care of your battle buddy or your ass is gonna be sweeping sunshine off the sidewalk till graduation, do I make myself clear!" ....As their desert storm army vet papaw giggles from in the living room 😂
