Hey, Scuttlebutt listeners. Thank you for joining us and for your continued support. This week, we welcome the Vice President of the Marine Corps Association Foundation, retired Col Tim Mundy, to the scuttlebutt. With Father's Day coming up this weekend, we thought it would be fun to bring someone who is the son of, and father of, a Marine. We mention in the conversation how “Hallmark holidays” are not really our bag, but having the opportunity to talk to someone like Col Mundy about the dynamics of both growing up in a Marine family and raising kids in a Marine household seemed really interesting. We've wanted to get Tim on the show for some time, so this was the perfect excuse. For those who aren't familiar with the Mundy name, Tim's dad, Gen Carl Mundy, was the 30th Commandant of the Marine Corps, serving in that role from 1991 to 1995. Before you roll your eyes, thinking of course we would interview a Commandant's kid, it was really beautiful to hear Tim's story of growing up with a father who would become Commandant, serving as an infantry officer during his dad's tenure as Commandant, and the lessons his dad imparted upon him as he became a father in uniform. This was a great opportunity to hear some of the more human sides of Marine “celebrity” and how, at the end of the day, whether you're the Commandant or a PFC, the relationship between a father and son knows no rank. Enjoy! The post #248: Son, Father, Marine with Col Tim Mundy (Ret.) first appeared on Marine Corps Association.

In Folge 222 unseres Podcasts von Eisexpeditionen.de sprechen wir erneut mit Laura Wolpmann über ihre Forschung zum Meereis am Nordpol. Bereits während ihrer Reise an Bord der Le Commandant Charcot haben wir mit ihr direkt vor Ort über ihre wissenschaftliche Arbeit im Rahmen ihrer Masterarbeit gesprochen. Nun liegen die Ergebnisse ihrer Studie vor – und genau darüber sprechen wir in dieser Episode.Laura war im Namen des Alfred-Wegener-Instituts an Bord der Le Commandant Charcot unterwegs und hat sich intensiv mit dem Zustand des arktischen Meereises beschäftigt. Im Gespräch erklärt sie, welche Daten gesammelt wurden, was ihre Ergebnisse über das Meereis am Nordpol zeigen und warum Messungen direkt in der zentralen Arktis für die Wissenschaft so wertvoll sind.Außerdem sprechen wir darüber, was die Arbeit auf einem Expeditionsschiff besonders macht, welche Rolle Bojen und Beobachtungen vor Ort spielen und warum die Arktis eine der spannendsten, aber auch sensibelsten Forschungsregionen der Erde ist.Eine besondere Podcastfolge über Wissenschaft, Expeditionsreisen, Meereis und die Faszination Nordpol – mit spannenden Einblicken von Laura Wolpmann an Bord der Le Commandant Charcot.
It has been a bit more than six years since then Commandant of the Marine Corps, General David Berger, USMC, initiated what became known as Force Design 2030 (now just known as Force Design). What followed was a controversial change to the structure of the United States Marine Corps intended to address the challenge posed by the People's Republic of China in the western Pacific.Now more than halfway to the original 2030 target, and informed by events from Ukraine and Southwest Asia since 2020, both long-standing critics of the design and other voices are readdressing the changes—and the critique—to see if it remains the right path.Joining the Midrats Podcast is General Anthony Zinni, USMC (Ret.).SummaryIn this episode, retired General Anthony Zinny discusses the evolution of Marine Corps force design, its strategic implications, and the importance of a flexible, well-analyzed approach to military modernization.Show LinksGeneral Anthony Zinni, USMC (Ret.) full bioForce Design 2030Marine leaders drop ‘2030' from name of ambitious overhaul planUSMC Force Design Update from 2023The Marines Must Think Bigger Than Small Units, Real Clear Defense, December 09, 2025, Anthony Zinni & Jerry McAbee , Timothy WellsMore funding for the wrong programs won't fix the Marine Corps, Washington Times, July 10, 2025, by Gen.

Most people pick a lane. Jesse Sieff built a whole intersection.He's a Pittsburgh-raised classical percussionist who taught himself piano at age six, trained for the 2008 Beijing Olympics in gymnastics, earned a civil engineering degree, and spent five years studying music at Indiana University of Pennsylvania before driving down to Washington, DC, to audition for the United States Marine Drum & Bugle Corps — "The Commandant's Own." He won the spot with a composition called Chopstakovich, which is currently the #1 best-selling snare solo in the world with over 700,000 YouTube views.Four years active duty and two reserve years later, Jesse founded Sieff Studios in Annapolis, Maryland — a Veteran-owned media production firm built around a single question: "Who is the most important person in your ecosystem, and how do you need them to feel?"In this conversation recorded live at Sieff Studios, Bart and Jesse dig into the non-linear path (engineering → music → Marines → entrepreneurship), the difference between drive as a push and drive as a pull, what 87 miles to Mount Everest Base Camp does to your relationship with control, the science of vibration and the Schumann frequency, and Jesse's philosophy for high-performers everywhere: the playful pursuit of perfection.You'll also hear Bart's powerful Invisible Backpack exercise for releasing guilt about distant family, and Jesse's vision for using drum circles to rewire audience attention at keynote events.If you've ever made a radical career pivot, struggled with perfectionism, or felt like you were watching life from the audience instead of being on stage, this one's for you.CHAPTERS:00:30 Welcome to the Studio: Introducing Jesse Sieff of Sieff Studios02:25 What Most People Don't Do: The Posture of a Student04:45 Pittsburgh Roots: How Music Found Jesse First08:52 Hearing the World Differently: How Musicians Perceive Sound11:37 "Chopstakovich": The World's #1 Snare Solo and a YouTube Phenomenon14:06 From Drum Corps to the Marines: Auditioning for The Commandant's Own18:34 Olympic Gymnastics Training and the Physical Test of Boot Camp20:00 Ambassadors in Uniform: Representing the Marines Around the World21:44 What Really Drives a Polymath: Pull vs. Push and the Growth Mindset25:47 87 Miles to Everest Base Camp: Fear, Altitude, and Transformation31:40 The Invisible Backpack: Letting Go of Guilt and Doing Your Best37:56 The Playful Pursuit of Perfection: A Philosophy for High Achievers42:43 What Is Sieff Studios?

Risk looks different depending on where you're standing.In Episode 936 (Jason Kaminsky & 2026 The Solar Risk Assessment), we explored risk through the lens of data, operations, and asset performance.Today's episode looks at it through the eyes of someone who spent four decades preparing organizations for uncertainty, disruption, and worst-case scenarios.General Robert Neller served as the 37th Commandant of the United States Marine Corps, leading one of the world's most respected organizations through an era of rapid technological change, evolving threats, and global instability.In this conversation, General Neller joins Nico to discuss how great leaders think about risk before it becomes a crisis, why resilience is more than a buzzword, and what the energy industry can learn from organizations that operate where failure is not an option.Along the way, the conversation explores cybersecurity, critical infrastructure, energy resilience, military innovation, entrepreneurship, and the leadership principles that matter when the stakes are high.Expect to learn:

This was originally Chase's idea, and as he tells it, the Marine Corps Association was the perfect place to host this competition. We talk about what a TDG is and what it is designed to do, what the competition is and who is eligible (spoiler alert: everyone!), and how a competition like this will enable the critical thinking and imagination we want to foster. This is going to be a fun competition, and we are looking forward to seeing what you all come up with.

Aan tafel deze week: Commandant der Strijdkrachten Onno Eichelsheim, Speciaal Vertegenwoordiger Mensenrechten voor de EU Kajsa Ollongren, advocaat en hoogleraar Oorlogsherstelrecht Liesbeth Zegveld, directeur van de Koninklijke Vereniging van Nederlandse Reders Annet Koster, Europa-journalist en Hongarije-kenner Tijn Sadée. Presentatie: Twan Huys Wil je meer weten over de gasten in Buitenhof? Op onze website vind je meer informatie. Daar kan je deze aflevering ook terugkijken en je vindt er natuurlijk nog veel meer gesprekken: https://bit.ly/buitenhof-12-apr-26 Houdt het staakt-het-vuren tussen de VS en Iran stand? En stuurt Nederland mijnenvegers naar de Perzische Golf? Aan tafel Commandant der Strijdkrachten Onno Eichelsheim over de oorlog in het Midden-Oosten. Helpt diplomatie nog wel nu wereldleiders de situatie met grote woorden steeds vaker op scherp zetten? En welke invloed heeft de EU op landen waar een loopje wordt genomen met de mensenrechten? Daarover Kajsa Ollongren, Speciaal Vertegenwoordiger Mensenrechten voor de EU. Met het bombarderen van civiele doelen en dreigementen als: ‘we bombarderen Iran terug naar het stenen tijdperk', bedreigt Trump Iran. Is dit een oorlogsmisdaad? We gaan erover in gesprek met Liesbeth Zegveld, advocaat en hoogleraar Oorlogsherstelrecht. Het leek er na de aankondiging van het staakt-het-vuren even op dat de schepen weer konden gaan varen in de Straat van Hormuz. Maar voorlopig laat Iran nog nauwelijks schepen door. Wat zijn de gevolgen voor de wereldwijde energievoorziening? Annet Koster, directeur van de Koninklijke Vereniging van Nederlandse Reders (KVNR), schuift aan. En de spanning loopt op in Boedapest. Morgen brengen zo'n acht miljoen Hongaren hun stem uit. Zal de Hongaarse premier Viktor Orbán na 16 jaar de macht verliezen? Vriend en vijand kijkt gespannen toe, want er staat veel op het spel. We spreken erover met Europa-journalist en Hongarije-kenner Tijn Sadée.

Hey, Scuttlebutt listeners. Thank you for joining us and for your continued support. This week, we bring another installment of our new series, Literary Lethality, to the scuttlebutt. In this series, we will be doing a deep dive into the Commandant's Professional Reading List, exploring various titles and talking to different authors about some of the books on the list. Today, Michael Jerome Plunkett was kind enough come on and talk to us about Karl Marlantes' novel, Matterhorn. Matterhorn is on the CPRL as part of the Leadership category, and Michael, as the creator of the PBA Abbate Book Club and host of the LitWar podcast, discusses the aspects of this novel that speak to leadership and decision making, some good and some bad, in life-or-death situations. We also discuss the origins of the novel, which actually started as a memoir written in the 70s, who the intended audience is, what Marlantes is trying to communicate with the book, and some of the takeaways for today's service members. And more than anything, why Matterhorn deserves to be on the Commandant's Professional Reading List.

Hey, Scuttlebutt listeners. Thank you for joining us and for your continued support. This is an episode that we wanted to do when we first thought up the idea of hosting a podcast, but never really thought we would actually get to do it. This week, it is an honor to welcome the 39th Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen Eric Smith, and the 20th Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps, SgtMaj Carlos Ruiz to the scuttlebutt. The Commandant and Sergeant Major talk to us about prioritizing the amphibious ready group and MEUs, their thoughts on what a MEU should like look and the demand signal from the combatant commanders for this capability, how important the quality of life improvement initiatives are to them, their focus on suicide prevention, and the impact seven years of force design has had on the Marine Corps' role in the Joint Force. Also, a huge shout-out to Maj Nick Cline and GySgt Jordan Gilbert for their hard work in making this happen. Enjoy!

What happens when danger comes from where you least expect it? Bart Womack dedicated nearly three decades of his life to serving the United States Army, rising to the highest enlisted ranks and leading soldiers in combat, training, and some of the most sacred roles in military service. But one moment forever changed his understanding of trust, leadership, and survival when he became a firsthand survivor of a deadly insider attack carried out by a fellow American soldier. This episode explores the psychological impact of betrayal, the long road to healing after trauma, and how Bart transformed one of the darkest moments of his life into a mission focused on prevention, awareness, and leadership. His story is not just about military service — it's about resilience, responsibility, and choosing purpose after devastation. Guest Bio Command Sergeant Major (Ret.) Bart E. Womack served over 29 years in the United States Army, holding elite roles including Drill Sergeant, Ranger Instructor, and Sergeant of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. A two-time combat veteran, Bart retired after serving as both Commandant of the 101st Airborne Division Noncommissioned Officers Academy and Command Sergeant Major of the 101st Airborne Division. Following his military career, Bart transitioned into film, consulting, and veteran advocacy, working in Hollywood as a military technical advisor and supporting veterans through education and mentorship. He is the author of Embedded Enemy, which recounts his survival of a deadly insider attack, and he now serves as a speaker and security consultant focused on mitigating insider threats and active shooter incidents. You'll hear About Bart's rise through the Army and leadership at the highest enlisted levels The insider attack that reshaped his understanding of trust and safety The emotional and psychological aftermath of surviving betrayal Turning trauma into advocacy, education, and prevention What leaders must understand about insider threats today Chapters 00:00 Welcome and Introduction 02:10 Bart's Early Military Path and Commitment to Service 05:20 Leadership Roles and Life in the 101st Airborne Division 08:30 Combat Experience and the Reality of Trust in Uniform 12:10 The Insider Attack and the Moment Everything Changed 16:30 Surviving Trauma, Shock, and Moral Injury 20:10 Writing Embedded Enemy and Processing the Experience 24:10 From Survivor to Advocate and Educator 27:30 Leadership Lessons for Organizations and Communities 30:30 Bart's Message on Vigilance, Awareness, and Responsibility 33:00 Chuck's Closing Reflections Chuck's Challenge This week, reflect on how you assess trust and awareness in your own environment.

Kai also shares about his efforts to build relationships with Jewish communities and with families affected by the Holocaust, approaching these conversations with deep respect and a commitment to remembrance and reconciliation.
The Cognitive Crucible is a forum that presents different perspectives and emerging thought leadership related to the information environment. The opinions expressed by guests are their own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of or endorsement by the Information Professionals Association. John Boyd is well known to have formally written down very little of his own theories on war and conflict, making researching his concepts challenging and leading many to infer meanings based on their own interpretations—or others'—of what little easily accessible evidence of his thinking remains. In Snowmobiles and Grand Ideals, Ian Brown unpacks Boyd in his own words delivered during his lectures.

John welcomes retired Lieutenant General Mark Hertling to discuss the Trump administration's air strikes against alleged Venezuelan drug boats and the mounting charges that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth may be guilty of a war crime – or just plain murder. Hertling, who served as commander of U.S. Army Europe among other posts, offers a withering perspective on Hegseth's explanations of his role in the disputed strike and his leadership of the Pentagon writ large; a stark assessment of where the metastasizing story is headed next; and a fraught view of the fragile state of civilian-military relations in Trump 2.0.

In a cinema in south-west Germany an audience is gathered to watch an Oscar winning film, Zone of Interest, about the life of Rudolf Höss, Commandant of Auschwitz. Those present comprise Jewish people from around the world, and the special guest is Rudolf's grandson. The topic was rarely visited during Kai's childhood. It was only after a school history lesson that Kai began to comprehend Rudolf's role as head of the largest mass murder site in history. Reporter Shiroma Silva travels to his home in Germany to question Kai on his personal struggle. She tracks Kai's outlook today through Christianity, in which he uses his past to look forward and understand the particular place of Jewish people in the Bible. He questions how antisemitism thrived in Christian societies and his grandfather's early life in a devout Catholic family. This episode of The Documentary, comes to you from Heart and Soul, exploring personal approaches to spirituality from around the world
