Sgt Aaron Quinonez was a United States Marine Corps radio operator that served prior to 9/11 and rejoined in time to take part in the invasion of Iraq by manning remote communications sites.

After leaving the military for the second time, Quinonez realized he was dealing with mental health issues stemming from both his childhood and his service in the military. Quinonez now promotes charitable trips outside of the United States that allow service members to give back to the less fortunate and add a new sense of purpose to his life.

Overall, this was a good talk regarding the military, mental health and philanthropic opportunities.

Cameron is a former Reconnaissance Marine that deployed with me in 2014 and is currently a world traveler continuing on a three year adventure in his RV that has taken him all across our country and to every country south of the border.

We dive into what it was like for Cameron to attend one of the hardest schools in the Marine Corps, Basic Reconnaissance Course (BRC), and he breaks down different segments of training that Recon Marines undertake throughout their careers.

Following that, Cameron explains why traveling for the last three years has given him a unique appreciation for life and assisted in his transition from the United States Marine Corps. Obviously this was a great show and I really appreciate Cameron coming on and telling his unique story to the world.

SSgt Joshua Fosberg is a Marine Infantryman that that hit the fleet and was immediately deployed to Iraq with 3/5. Josh's only training prior to deploying was what he received at the School of Infantry (SOI) and he was faced with his team leader being shot during their first week of patrols. Josh stayed with 3/5 for their next deployment to Iraq and also went on to complete a deployment on ship and as part of my advisor team in Sangin, Afg.

Josh is also an ultra marathoner who has taken part in multiple races. His next major event is May 15th and he will be running from the yellow footprints at Parris Island, SC to Onslow Beach on Camp Lejeune, NC to bring awareness to veteran suicide.

In addition to those two topics, we also discuss his career as an author and why he was forced to leave the infantry. Overall, a great interview that I think many people will appreciate.
