Cold War Submariner Marcus Peters and I dive into the complexities of military ethics, the unspoken valour of Cold War submariners, and the challenging transition into civilian life in H-Hour #268. We explore the stringent selection process for submarine captains, the camaraderie and unique culture aboard submarines, and the often unacknowledged psychological toll of service. Marcus opens up about his own struggles with leaving the military, the shame he once felt, and the importance of mentorship, community, and mental health support for veterans. This episode is a profound look into the silent sacrifices and uncelebrated heroes beneath the waves.
