The Rolling Vets Podcast

Chris and Lucas discuss the concept of the "smoke pit" in the military lifestyle and its influence on camaraderie and overall morale. They also share some stories on the spontaneity and tomfoolery that occurs in the smoke pit and how it can determine the atmosphere in the barracks for the evening.

USMC Sgt Jacob Garcia talks to us about all things recruiting and compares the reenlistment process from when he enlisted over seven years ago to what it is like to get bodies in the Marine Corps today. SGT Jacob Garcia has served as an 0311 Infantryman while filling billets such as Team Leader, Squad Leader, and Platoon Sergeant before taking up roles and responsibilities as a recruiter.

The boys get weird and explore out-of-this-world theories on Alien visitation to Earth. Kick back and enjoy some BS with us!

Former Army Specialist Michael Guthrie joins the boys again to speak on well ya know, veteran stuff. 

Join us for this episode of the Rolling Vets Podcast where the boys talk about their substance use during and following their time in the service. Bizarre enough, this leads to a discussion on the origin of humanity and possible extraterrestrial intervention???

Aaron leads the discussion in this episode on the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, or most commonly referred to as "Frozen Chosin". 

Happy New Year to all!! Chris takes the lead in walking us through the events of Iwo Jima in WWII. We discuss how Japanese warrior culture and the aggressive nature of the Marine Corps led to an epic match-up of island-hopping and jungle warfare. 

Chris and Lucas discuss the optical and ethical dilemmas involving trading convicted international arms dealer Viktor Bout for WNBA star Brittney Griner in a prisoner swap with Russia. What were the circumstances that lead to the rhetoric of "leaving a Marine behind"? Why Britney Griner and not Paul Whelan? All of these things are discussed. Also, our hosts talk about the multiple products of Vet Labz and how they can aid you on your journey of self-betterment through exercise. 

The boys are joined by Marine veteran and the former backbone of the Marine Corps, SGT Evan Weiss. After leaving a successful career in search of self-fulfillment, Evan enlisted in the USMC with an age waiver and would eventually serve with our hosts in 3/3. He provides a unique and vulnerable perspective on his experience in the military which was greatly influenced by his real-world experience prior to enlistment. In this episode, our hosts and guest discuss how their experience in the military helped them reveal their self-identity and value the things we take for granted.
