This week, Sergeant Dean talks to US Army Sergeant Megan Gilliam. SGT Gilliam deployed with Sergeant Dean in 2017. They talk about that and the transition back to being a civilian, as well as some of the challenges facing a cook in the Army.

The intro music is a selection from the US Army Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps followed by reveille. Reveille is a bugle call usually associated with the military; it is chiefly used to wake military personnel. The outro music is retreat. Retreat is used to signal the end of the official day and, in the US Army, is played just before evening colors.
