Hey, Scuttlebutt listeners. Thank you for listening and your continued support. This week, we continue with our audio-only Modern Day Marine 2025 series. As with the previous MDMs, we were recording from the showroom floor, but as some of you know, this year we recorded some on video for our YouTube channel and others we recorded as audio-only podcasts. For the next few weeks, we will be releasing these audio-only conversations that range from veteran support organizations to future ops and wargaming to Toys for Tots. We’re really looking forward to sharing these conversations with you.  

This week’s episode features Matt Watkins from Operation Headshot. Matt talks to us about his journey to the yellow footprints, transitioning from active duty to the reserves, and Operation Headshot. Operation Headshot provides tools for transitioning military members, veterans, and spouses to help build a brand, expand their network, and become self-sufficient in pursuit of success as they navigate life beyond military service. He explains how his battles with mental health led to his desire to give back and create Operation Headshot to lower unemployment rates among veterans and military spouses, ease financial distress, and improve mental health and well-being of military families. 

Enjoy!
