Tune in for Marine Veteran, Jim McDade, as he tells his story of service. From a small town in West Virginia he joined the Marine Corps to be a better person. He was given the job of Forward Observer where he was attached to Artillery. Due to his unique job he did many training evolutions with both Marine artillery and Naval gunfire units. Spending time in Japan and California he eventually got out and went back to West Virginia. Don't miss his story. It is a great story of service to this great nation.

Tune in for this week's FireSide Chat w/ the Crew. AJ starts out strong but quickly had to bow out for a while to let the storm roll by so he had service. Aaron and Vick held down the show until AJ could make it back on. The Crew was also joined by Kelli Kersey. 

Tune in as AJ streams on TikTokers, Facepages, Xers, and The YouTubes. Expecting at least one crew member AJ ends up All By Himself but adapts and overcomes like any good Jarhead should. He takes the time to explain his online presence and all things he is doing, as well as, visits with Robert Hare as he makes comments. 

Tune in for part 2 of Marine and Air Force reserve veteran, Chuck Karalenas, as he discusses his experiences in the Marine Corps and Air Force reserves. With his fair share of good times but also his share of difficult times. He speaks frankly about his time in service which was full of trials and tribulations.

Tune in for a powerful veteran story. Bonnie Shaw gives a glimpse into military service as a Female Marine. She experienced everything from cat calls to being stalked by a Marine SNCO. During the experience she had to live through being an outcast in her own shop due to the rumors and hate that was sent her way. After experiencing the worst in the Corps she was eventually sent to another duty station where the Marines took care of her and supported her. Her experience is not unlike many females in the military. I appreciate her coming forward to discuss the difficult topics and experiences. This is a must see episode. 

The Marine Corps League official Podcast episode is back for episode 2. AJ and co-host Carlos have a myriad of MCL members on to highlight the incredible things the MCL has to offer as well as the great things these motivated Marines are doing. From Uniforms to Department Highlights, Veteran Service Officer to Military Order of Devil Dogs, and Comedy to the MCL National Commandant message, this episode will keep you enthralled and get you excited about the best Veteran Service Organization (in my humble opinion). Don't miss out. 

Oh boy, do we have a wild podcast with this one. I've got the Crew along with Roger Vogel & Dan Baker from Tracer Burnout, Theresa Carpenter of SOS Podcast to discuss the happenings as of late around the country. What does this mean for veterans / active duty. Like I've stated before, it's Good vs Evil and we need to figure it all out. We may not have solved the world's problems but we at least had some good thought provoking conversations. LOL.

A big thanks to Roger, Dan, and Theresa. I appreciate you joining and am thankful for the conversation. 

Be sure to check out Tracer Burnout podcast and Stories of Service (SOS) podcast. Both are awesome and if you are active or veteran alike you need to see what they have to offer. 

Tune in for a heartfelt and personal FireSide Chat w/ AJ as he discusses the happenings of the past week and his viewpoints on Good vs Evil. A short but thought provoking episode.
