It feels very natural to do these videos, as I’m passionate about all of them. Of course, I like to dabble in other military-themed videos like military ration taste tests, outdoor gear reviews, gameplay videos, fitness videos, outdoor vlogs, and “story time” videos.

The events I hear about in the videos humbled me continuously, helping with my personal and professional development.
The videos I check out include training videos, military selection courses, or historical military operations. I admit I did not know much about other countries since I didn’t learn about them in school or interact with them in the military. Most of the videos I react to are recommended by the great fans in the comments section! I love being able to check out what others are passionate about while learning more about other militaries and other countries. How do you brainstorm ideas for your content and your advice in getting the creative juice flowing. And YouTube was certainly a hobby I loved to invest my time in! Once I started doing reaction videos, I realized I could educate myself while learning to entertain others with commentary and the occasional bad joke, haha. They helped me step out of my comfort zone for videos and inspired me to put time and energy into learning editing and content creation.Īfter I switched from the Marines to the Army, I focused a bit less on being a testosterone-fueled savage and more on hobbies. I grew up watching several YouTubers like the Yogscast, Tobuscus, PewDiePie, Smosh, Corridor Digital, and ScoutTheDoggie. I still didn’t have a theme in mind for my channel, as I did the occasional vlog, but I was inspired to do every kind of video I could. I invested in a GoPro Hero 3 action camera and used it to record my infantry training. I still loved to document my life and my training, so that's what my videos focused on. I joined the Marine Corps Infantry in 2012 (I was in a Marine Corps uniform a week after graduating high school, haha). Of course, as my original channel name and content suggested, I was passionate about joining the military, so that’s what I did! This flourished into some sick editing and photoshop skills that I use even today! I invested a bit in improving my video quality and worked to up my videography skills. There was not much pressure back then as I wasn’t making anything from YouTube, so I focused on experimenting with different video ideas. Now I need to say, I was just a cringy high school kid, so I had all the time in the world, haha. Now, I had a YouTube account for a few months, but when I realized I could just borrow my mom’s camera, record a video, and upload it, I could become a YouTuber! For the first few years as a “YouTuber,” I made content ranging from nasty action scenes using my toy guns, action figure reviews, random vlogs. It started in my backyard in New Jersey with a few toy guns, some bad army costumes, and a Canon Powershot digital camera. Let's go down memory lane, tell us your backstory!
It didn’t help much for the channel’s branding, so I changed it and never looked back! Some joke about the channel name refers to my bicep size, but I’m not that clever! My original channel name was SgtB0yr13 (my last name, Boyrie, but more obnoxious, haha). The idea of Combat Arms Channel came from my infantry background, and I thought it matched exactly what I wanted the channel image to be. It helps to add another point of view on specific topics.
I love the military and sharing what I’ve learned with those aspiring to join the military, those currently serving, veterans, and anyone who happens to find the military interesting! Due to the nature of the reaction videos I do now, I generally do videos by myself, but I love doing the occasional collaboration with other military folks. With the incredible support I’ve gotten so far, it would be amazing to make YouTube videos full-time, but staying in the military will keep the charm to my channel, haha. I like to share my military experiences and provide some specific insight and points of view on interesting military videos I find online. I am a prior Marine and current active duty US Army Soldier (currently stationed in South Korea). Reading the channel name, you can probably figure out I am in the military. Howdy! I am Theo from Combat Arms Channel. Who are you and what kind of content do you create?
