Have a reflective Memorial Day Weekend. Be humble, be honorable, be an Ambassador of your service and of this great Nation!

John walks us through his hand-off from JOCKO on the first MARSOC SOCOM mission, which ended as good as one can hope. The full podcast is up on YouTube and Spotify.

In this interview we meet Major Mike Reynolds of the United States Marine Corps. He wears many hats in his career but tonight we delve into his art, and the Marine Corps' Combat Artist program, and how it works. The Program began in 1941 when BGen Robert Denig, Director of the Division of Public Relations, coined the phrase, “go to war, do art” in 1942. Ever since, it has served as the guiding principle of the U.S. Marine Corps Combat Art Program.

During this episode, we talk with Jared Prewitt, the author of "It'll Buff Out. In his book, he talks about a myriad of different struggles. Starting in high school Jared became called and pulled into the war. He would watch as the Marines cleared the city of Fallujah in just a few days and wanted to learn about the long-lived brotherhood his grandfather told him about. Jared would fight for Cold Steele in 1/6 as a DM in Ramadi in 2006 and Garmsir, Afghanistan in 2008. If that wasn't enough, Jared also suffered from a stroke after his active service time ended, setting him again on a path of struggle and perseverance. He has since published his war memoir, and took employment helping other Vets become aware and introduced to Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy. For all of the bad reviews, he says there are twice as many people who found it helpful. If you have tried other things and still need migraine and TBI/PTSD relief, give it a try.
