About this listen
New York Times best seller
The unapologetic, laugh-your-ass-off military memoir both vets and civilians have been waiting for, from a five-tour Army Ranger turned YouTube phenomenon and zealous advocate for veterans
Members of the military’s special operations branches share a closely guarded secret: They love their jobs. They relish the opportunity to fight. They are thankful for it, even, and hopeful that maybe, possibly, they’ll also get to kill a bunch of bad guys while they’re at it. You don’t necessarily need to thank them for their service - the pleasure is all theirs.
In this hilarious and personal memoir, listeners ride shotgun alongside former Army Ranger and private military contractor and current social media phenomenon Mat Best, into the action and its aftermath, both abroad and at home. From surviving a skin infection in the swampy armpit of America (aka Columbus, Georgia) to kicking down doors on the outskirts of Ramadi, from blowing up a truck full of enemy combatants to witnessing the effects of a suicide bombing right in front of your face, Thank You for My Service gives listeners who love America and love the good guys fresh insight into what it’s really like inside the minds of the men and women on the front lines.
It’s also a sobering yet steadying glimpse at life for veterans after the fighting stops, when the enemy becomes self-doubt or despair and you begin to wonder why anyone should be thanking you for anything, least of all your service. How do you keep going when something you love turns you into somebody you hate? For veterans and their friends and families, Thank You for My Service will offer comfort in the form of a million laughs and counsel as a blueprint for what to do after the war ends and the real fight begins.
And for civilians, this is the insider account of military life you won’t find anywhere else, told with equal amounts of heart and balls. It’s Deadpool meets Captain America, except one went to business school and one went to therapy, and it’s anyone’s guess which is which.

Makes me want to get up and get on with life
Loved it, wish there was more. still serving after 20+ years sure helps me know that once I'm done with serving I can still move on, as tough as it will be to leave I know I can.
Thanks Matt

This book is absolutely...
AMAZING. After reading Mats book I simply could not resist getting the audio book. The entire time reading I was imagining that it was Mat Best's voice but that was simply not doing it justice. He knocked this one out of the park and couldn't have done it any better. 10/10 reccomend thst everyone should either read or listen to this book!

Great book
Great book. Makes me wish I started my military career earlier and went a bit harder. I really enjoyed the storyline and learning what was behind the scenes to the great YouTube videos I have enjoyed for years.
