I sat down with Rudy Reyes, Marine Recon veteran, actor, and force of nature, for a raw and unfiltered conversation about transformation through trauma. Rudy shares his extraordinary journey from an abused child in poverty to elite warrior, and the intense struggles that followed his combat experiences. We discuss the profound impact of his father figures, how hatred of tyranny fueled his path to heroism, and his battle with PTSD, addiction, and suicidal thoughts after returning from Fallujah and Ramadi.

Chiropractor to Congress, Supreme Court, and the White House, Parker University's Seventh President, Active Texas Chiropractic Association Member, and proud Texan Dr. Morgan has a long history of serving in military healthcare. At age 17, he joined the Navy and served with a Marine Recon company as a special operations technician hospital corpsman. During that time, he qualified in parachuting, military diving, submarine insertion, jungle warfare, combat swimming, explosives, mountaineering, winter warfare and Arctic survival. Additionally, he attended anti-terrorist training at the FBI Academy. After leaving active military service and transferring to the Navy Reserves, Dr. Morgan began his educational journey to become a Doctor of Chiropractic. While at Palmer College of Chiropractic-West, he transferred to a Naval Special Warfare platoon as the unit's primary hospital corpsman. In 1985, Dr. Morgan received his Doctorate in Chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic–West and soon after, married fellow Palmer graduate, Clare Pelkey. They practiced for thirteen years in California. In 1998, Dr. Morgan was chosen to establish the first chiropractic clinic at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, which later became Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. In 2015, Walter Reed recognized Dr. Morgan with its highest honor for clinical excellence, the Master Clinician's Award. During the last 18 years at the military's most prestigious medical centers, he practiced in an integrative setting, providing chiropractic care to the injured troops returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. In the year 2000, Dr. Morgan was appointed as the Chiropractor to Congress at the U.S. Capitol. At the Office of the Attending Physician to Congress, doctors of many specialties care for members of Congress and the Supreme Court. In 2007, Dr. Morgan began serving as the White House Chiropractor. He was appointed chiropractor for the United States Naval Academy football team in 2009 (which never lost to Army while under his care). In 2011, Dr. Morgan was appointed to the United States Navy Musculoskeletal Continuum of Care Advisory Board, an entity created to address the prevalent injuries sustained by U.S. Armed Forces Personnel during active-duty operations. Dr. Morgan also served on the Spine Subcommittee, which helps develop care algorithms for treating spinal conditions and determining the future of musculoskeletal management in the U.S. Armed Forces. Upon arriving in Texas, he became an active member and supporter of the Texas Chiropractic Association (TCA). Almost immediately, he organized a leadership summit to establish a legislative agenda strategy for chiropractors in Texas. Texas Chiropractors had not won a significant legislative victory in two decades, but in 2017 four bills advantageous to the chiropractic profession passed. Additionally, Morgan has assisted in fundraising, membership recruitment, and awareness for the TCA. As lifetime member of the American Chiropractic Association (ACA), he has also held several leadership positions in the organization and continues to serve on the Advisory Board and Ethics Committee. He is also a board member of the Association of Chiropractic Colleges. Dr. Morgan is the recipient of many prestigious awards, namely: The American Chiropractic Association Chairman's Award of Valor, 2003 Chiropractor of the Year from the American Chiropractic Association, 2003 Doctor of Laws, L.L.D. (honoris causa), National University of Health Sciences, 2004 Master Clinician Award, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, 2015 The Keeler Plaque: “Chiropractor of the Year” awarded by the Texas Chiropractic Association in 2018 TCA President's Award, 2019-2020 2022 Congressional Veteran Commendation for the Twenty-Fourth Congressional District of Texas Work with RAPID Health Optimization Anders Varner on Instagram Doug Larson on Instagram Coach Travis Mash on Instagram
Marine Recon units are the commander's eyes and ears on the battlefield. From clandestine missions to intelligence gathering, they are a silent force ensuring military readiness.

Chris Klaftenegger was a special operations medic in two different military branches, and he has been to selection courses in the US Navy, Marines, and Air Force. He began his career as a SARC - a Special Amphibious Recon Corpsman at 1st Recon Battalion. After that, he transferred to a reserve unit of the Air Force and went through selection and training to become a Pararescueman, also known as a PJ. He also attended countless other schools, ranging from the Coast Guard's Advanced Rescue Swimmer school to avalanche and tactical structural collapse search and rescue schools. Chris then worked in private security as an emergency response medic, personal security specialist, and medical instructor. Following that, he transitioned to the world of business and technology. He is currently the Chief Operating Officer of Onyx Industries, a company of former special operators making intelligent unmanned systems and airborne solutions for the defense industry. In this episode, we talk about Chris' career, his experiences in various selection courses, and his time as a Marine Recon instructor. We're splitting this conversation into two parts and will run the second half in a few days.

In this episode, we get into the military transition of Tami Thacker, a former Navy corpsman whose journey epitomizes the essence of service and resilience. Her story is a profound exploration, from a tumultuous childhood to becoming a trailblazer in the armed forces. Tami's early years were marked by hardship and instability. Despite these challenges, she found her calling in the Navy, a decision that set her on a path of remarkable achievements and personal growth. Tami's spent 12 years in the Navy and got out in 2011 as a Senior Chief. Her naval career is a narrative of breaking barriers. She distinguished herself as the first female corpsman assigned to the Marine Corps Basic Reconnaissance Course, a role that tested her mettle and underscored her commitment to serving alongside the best. Her experiences in the Navy not only shaped her as a service member but also prepared her for the challenges of transitioning back to civilian life. This transition, a journey familiar to many veterans, was a period of adaptation and self-discovery, highlighting the critical need for veteran assistance and support in adjusting to life after the military. Today, Tami is the Veterans Services Coordinator at the University of California – Riverside. She is passionately involved in helping other veterans navigate their post-military lives. Her work focuses on providing guidance in career planning for veterans, advocating for mental health resources, and aiding in adjusting to civilian life. Her dedication to veteran assistance is a testament to her enduring commitment to the veteran community, offering a beacon of hope and practical support to those embarking on their own transitions.

Lisa is joined by Craig Grossi, the author of Craig & Fred: A Marine, A Stray Dog, and How They Rescued Each Other.Raised in the Virginia suburbs of Washington, DC, Craig Grossi is a Marine Corps veteran, recipient of the Purple Heart and Georgetown University graduate. When not travelling with Fred, he devotes his time to veteran organizations including the USA Warriors Ice Hockey Program and other nonprofits that benefit dogs and veterans. He now lives in Maine with his partner Nora, and their dogs Fred and Ruby.In 2010, Sergeant Craig Grossi was doing intelligence work for Marine RECON—the most elite fighters in the Corps—in a remote part of Afghanistan. While on patrol, he spotted a young dog "with a big goofy head and little legs" who didn't seem vicious or run in a pack like most strays they'd encountered. After eating a piece of beef jerky Craig offered—against military regulations—the dog began to follow him. "Looks like you made a friend," another Marine yelled. Grossi heard, "Looks like a 'Fred.'" The name stuck, and a beautiful, life-changing friendship was forged.Fred not only stole Craig's heart; he won over the RECON fighters, who helped Craig smuggle the dog into heavily fortified Camp Leatherneck in a duffel bag—risking jail and Fred's life. With the help of a crew of DHL workers, a sympathetic vet, and a military dog handler, Fred eventually made it to Craig's family in Virginia. Months later, when Craig returned to the U.S., it was Fred's turn to save the wounded Marine from Post-Traumatic Stress. Today, Craig and Fred are touching lives nationwide, from a swampy campground in a Louisiana State Park to the streets of Portland, Oregon, and everywhere in between. A poignant and inspiring tale of hope, resilience, and optimism, with a timeless message at its heart—"it is not what happens to us that matters, but how we respond to it"—Craig & Fred is a shining example of the power of love to transform our hearts and our lives.

Today we hear the second round of our Combat Story with Jason Lilley, a former Marine, MARSOC operator, Global Response Staff (GRS) with the CIA, and co-host of Savage Actual with co-host Patrick Moltrup having been a guest on our show on Episode 26 (https://youtu.be/YmOkCKtpvGk). You can find Savage Actual at https://www.youtube.com/c/savageactual. We left off our first interview (which you can find at https://youtu.be/jYzw5zGR5SE) hearing about Jason's first deployments with Marine Recon in OIF I going into Iraq, in which his unit was featured in the HBO show Generation Kill, and a subsequent deployment when Jason earned a Silver Star. At that point, Jason got out of the service, seemingly to find another path, got a lip ring as he said, and started surfing. He still had years of service ahead of him, and that's exactly what we touch on in this episode. We get into some interesting aspects of combat this time around but we also dive pretty deep into the psychological aspects of war and the insight that time and age bring. Listeners really connected with Jason the first time around, noting how genuine and down to earth he is, with one person saying that he comes across as both deadly and chill at the same time, which is absolutely the case. There were so many calls for us to do round two from our listeners and it was worth waiting for. As you all know, you can catch Jason on Savage Actual with his co-host Patrick Moltrup, both of whom I consider great people, Americans, and friends. With that, please enjoy this insightful, selfless, and yet somehow equally hilarious discussion with Jason Lilley.

Recon Scholar ! Today's podcast Mike talks with Stuart (Stu) Doyle, a Marine Recon Reservist, Amateur MMA fighter and scholar with a M.S. in Criminology, about his thoughts on veteran readjustment culture. BioStu's admiration for the Marine Corps started at age 9 and by age 13 he had focused on becoming a Recon Marine. At age 17 Stu headed for boot camp, then infantry and straight for the Basic Recon Course. He spent the rest of his active enlistment with 1st Recon Bn and deployed to Afghanistan as a Recon Marine. Stu completed a BA at Columbia in Neuroscience and Behavior followed by a M.S. in Criminology at University of Penn. As a source of income during college, he selected security related work for billionaires and after his Ivy League studies he settled in Hollywood and continued with employment in high level security. However, Stu found he needed more of a challenge and returned to the Corps. He joined the Reserves and is still an active reservist with 3rd Force Recon Co. To continue his journey of challenges alongside the Marine Recon, he is pursuing a profession as a pro MMA fighter as well as a desire to begin his PhD program in either philosophy or psychology within a couple years.

Get 10% off your first month of therapy with my sponsor BetterHelp: http://BetterHelp.com/combatstoryToday we hear the Combat Story of Jason Lilley, a former Marine infantryman, Marine Recon, sniper, MARSOC, and then CIA Global Response Staff (or GRS) operator. As many are aware, Jason is the other half of the veteran media company Savage Actual (https://www.youtube.com/c/savageactual), with his co-host Patrick Moltrup having been a guest on our show on Episode 26 (https://youtu.be/YmOkCKtpvGk).Jason survived brutal fighting in the initial invasion of Iraq with the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion alongside journalist Evan Wright who would go on to write the book Generation Kill which was transformed into an HBO series by the same name, depicting some of the battles we talk about in this episode (watch more at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLlHcwJ5vS4).In another deployment, Jason earned a Silver Star during a battle on April 7th, 2004 in Iraq that was later depicted in the History Channel program “Ambush of April 7th” (https://www.history.com/shows/the-warfighters/season-1/episode-5#:~:text=On%20April%207%2C%202004%20a,in%20the%20War%20on%20Terror). It is believed to be the most decorations awarded for a single battle during the war, which included four Silver Stars, multiple Purple Hearts, and two Navy Crosses (one award posthumously).

On this podcast, Rad welcomes Maj. Fred Galvin who served as commanding officer of the first unit that MARSOC deployed to combat in Afghanistan. He is the author of A Few Bad Men and he shares the chilling story of being ambushed by a car bomb and being framed for war crimes they did not commit. He recounts how they were unwanted guests to their command and the underlying selfish philosophies of his commanders. The media storm that followed the attack got them booted out of Afghanistan and even back home, despite being exonerated by the court of inquiry, they were publicly shamed for supposedly getting away with murder. Fred is fighting back and letting the people know how the military is abusing its power and letting others take the fall for their mistakes.

Today we have a more timely Combat Story where we sit down with the head of the Ukrainian Come Back Alive Foundation, Taras Chmut. Come Back Alive provides financing for purely defense initiatives and since 2014, it has provided nearly 1000 thermal imaging devices and over 250 UAVs in addition to material support, technology, and training for the forces fighting the Russians on Ukrainian soil. Before stepping up to lead this organization, Taras was a Ukrainian Marine rifleman on the front lines in 2015 and then a commander of a reconnaissance unit with UAVs and signals intercept capabilities providing a better picture of the battlefield mainly near Mariupol (which we've heard so much about today). This, like our interviews with Aiden Aslin and Sergey Dyadkin, help shed light on what's actually going on in this Russian invasion and give each of us a way to do something about it, this time in terms of providing support to this important foundation, which you can do at www.comebackalive.in.ua. We've conducted much of this interview through a translator named Alexander and I hope you appreciate this inside look from Kiev as much as I did.

He was also part of the Naval Special Warfare Development Group (or DEVGRU). NOTE: We have just launched our Patreon.

The whole purpose for me setting up Plan Positive was to track down inspiring, optimistic and positive people, and on this, our 45th episode, I think I have found the gold standard.Enter Rudy Reyes. Rudy has battled throughout his entire life.From growing up in an orphanage to fighting on the streets in America, to becoming a martial artist to fighting at Elite level with arguably one of the most formidable forces in the world - the American Force Recon Marines.In 1998, Reyes joined the United States Marine Corps and was ultimately selected for (and passed) Marine Recon training.To put that into context out of 300,000 marine troops, only 300 would be selected for Marine Recon.He served in Afghanistan and took part in the Iraq war.After leaving the military in 2005, Reyes has continued as a keynote speaker, a martial artist, and a model. His acting roles included playing himself in Generation Kill. He also co-founded Force Blue, which seeks to unite the community of Special Operations veterans with the world of marine conservation for the betterment of both.AND most recently he has been appointed the role of Head instructor on the TV show ‘SAS: Who Dares Wins'Alongside Jason Fox, Billy Billingham and now Remi AdelekeIn this episode we cover Rudy's non negotiablesThe importance of goal setting, his proudest achievements, how he keeps motivated and much more.This is Plan Positive.Rudy Reyes.Instagram: @realrudyreyesForce Blue: www.forceblueteam.orgJade Struck.Instagram: @jadestruckJohn Pierce.Instagram: @Plan_PositiveEmail: info@Plan_Positive.co.ukSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/civewodeja)
Rodolfo "Rudy" Reyes is an American conservationist, martial arts instructor, actor, and former active-duty United States Marine. We discuss his life growing up, his family, and his path as a warrior and philosopher. He tells me about serving in wartime as a special operations Recon Marine and scout sniper; how he ended up as an actor; his struggle with PTSD and how he has worked to overcome it. That leads to the part of our conversation where he tells me about his conservation work and how to get involved with his team doing some amazing work to save coral reefs around the globe. More about Rudy: In 1998, Reyes joined the United States Marine Corps and was ultimately selected for (and passed) Marine Recon training. He served in Afghanistan, Iraq, and onboard the USS Dubuque. After leaving the military in 2005, Reyes became a fitness trainer at a gym in San Diego. His acting roles included playing himself in Generation Kill (2008) and the TV Series Apocalypse Man, Ultimate Survival Alaska, and Spartan Race. He is also one of the interviewees of the 2020 documentary series Once Upon a Time in Iraq. He played Solomon Goodblood in a 2021 film “The Secret of Sinchanee.” Reyes wrote the book, “Hero Living: Seven Strides to Awaken Your Infinite Power” (2009), with Angela Smith. He has also authored articles for OFFGRID magazine. In 2016, Rudy Reyes founded the Force Blue Team, taking special operators- SEALS, Recon Marines, Pararescuemen, and Army Special Forces and teamed them up with scientists to rebuild and restore coral reefs.

https://www.swordandthescript.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/bab_021_beau_higgins.jpg One of the skills Beau Higgins says veterans bring to business is an ability to operate in chaos. That is when things are chaotic – veterans learn to focus on getting things done. For 25 years, Beau got things done in the Marine Corps. He’s a retired colonel that held roles from intelligence to Marine Recon and went all over the world. Today, he is a Senior Manager of Military Talent Acquisition for Amazon. Amazon is a company that also strives to attract people that get things done. In fact, one of its leadership principles is all about getting things done: bias for action. He talks to us a little bit about that and describes some of the programs Amazon has in place to attract military veterans.

Today, I'm joined by sniper and survival expert, Mark D'Ambrosio. Mark is a USMC veteran with close to ten years experience conducting Reconnaissance and Scout Sniper operations.

Mark was a contestant on season 7 of the History Channel's survival show Alone, where he went an impressive 44 days in the Arctic with only 10 items and a camera.

Ron Holmes, of Ryker USA, joined us to talk about the concept of the Ryker Grip and bringing it from concept to patent to production. Kelsey Desantis, co-host, also discusses Women' s Tactical Alliance & Collaboration (WOTAC). About the Ryker Grip: The Ryker Grip™ was conceived by retired United States Marine Corps Master Sergeant Ron Holmes who served a 20-year career in Marine Force Recon and Marine Special Operations Command. Ron's concept for the Ryker Grip™ was originally to enable people with shoulder injuries to continue to shoot effectively by optimizing and enhancing shooting ergonomics. He, along with two other veterans, formed Ryker USA, Inc. to bring the Innovation to market.https://rykerusa.com/ Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/theprotectors)

Brandons Website: https://www.brandonmillsmusic.com I discovered Brandon while watching "The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart". After checking out his social media and learning more about his career as a Recon Marine I had to reach out and see what he was all about. He's an amazing guy with extraordinary perspective. The little bit I learned about his life amazed me from his years as a Marine, to volunteering overseas at Refugee camps to earning a degree in New York to pursuing a career in Music in Nashville. WOW, what a guy, to top it off he wants to hit the road to do volunteer work across the country and is always down to work with a Veteran. He even sang us a song, "Glistening".

Marine Recon Neil Preston stops by to talk Afghanistan, video game streaming, and his hobby of getting into full armor, picking up a wooden sword, and beating the crap out of his friends to reenact Greek battles and engage in inappropriate ancient cultural appropriation.
Our founder and host, Tim K., sat down with Rudy Reyes in Newport Beach, California to speak about his life lately. Rudy grew up in a merciless sequence of loveless behavior, one in which he found himself as a youth defending his brothers on the streets while being shuttled from one relative's home to another. Growing up in a rough neighborhood in Kansas City, Missouri with few ways to break the cycle, Rudy turned to the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor as a beacon of hope layered in a structure of transformation. His path to becoming the warrior started as a youth, but the Marines would teach him how to harness his energy and shape him into the most efficient version of the Devil Dog, ready to take on the enemy at every turn. Like many veterans, Rudy's transition out of the Marine Corps wasn't seamless, but he found his identity again through a transcendent path into the world of the arts. He's an actor (HBO's Generation Kill, Apocalypse Man, Ultimate Survival Alaska), philanthropist, fitness expert and world renowned martial artist. Check out Rudy's philanthropic efforts with Force Blue Team, to learn more about how you can help former Special Operations warriors save the coral reefs.

Dave Acosta is a mental fitness coach, motivational speaker and corporate culture expert and trainer. He has been a featured keynote speaker at corporate events and is highly sought after for his Elite Leadership presentations and camps. He works with individual athletes, business professionals, coaching staffs and corporate organizations. Dave is recognized for his ability to help elite individuals and corporations embrace new perspectives, which lead to a paradigm shift. His innovative approach and passionate delivery have an immediate effect on participants. One of the most common phrases used by clients to describe his presentation is “life-changing”. For over 20 years Dave has worked side by side with some of the world's most elite performers. He began his law enforcement career in Las Vegas where he spent 9 years working in specialized units, including six years as the point man on the North Las Vegas SWAT Team. He later became an international tactical instructor and team leader for high-risk protection teams in Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa and Latin America. He has conducted hundreds of real-world tactical missions and his company continues to provide protection and tactical training to clients around the globe. Dave works overseas with hand-picked operators and instructors that include former Navy Seals, Special Forces, and Marine Recon, operators. Over the last 20 years, Dave has focused on studying what makes these men so different from others. He uncovered four common characteristics that every elite performer possesses. These apply to all elite performers, whether they are competing in athletics, the corporate environment or the battlefield. The characteristics of success are the same regardless of the environment. The basic qualities that make a Navy Seal “elite” are the same qualities found in a pro-bowl NFL player, an Olympian, an extremely successful entrepreneur or a champion triathlete.

We begin this episode with the most important topic at hand right now, last week's bombings of Syria. Jack comes from an interesting perspective on this because as some of you may remember, two years back he was invited along with a group of select journalists to sit down with President Assad in Syria and have a discussion which we covered. We also cover two recent articles on SOFREP.com by Jack Murphy, "When a Marine Recon patrol got into a firefight with an American Viet Cong" detailing the bizarre and secretive story of former Marine Bob Garwood, and "The Philippines stands up a true Special Operations Command for the first time," a long standing dream of General Pamonag who Jack got to sit down with in the Philippines last year. We welcome back Curtis Albers to hear how he hopes to progress on getting his story out, detailed on Episode 311, growing up an abused foster kid, becoming an Army Ranger, and some of the demons that continued to follow him. We also talk race relations in special operations, and have some laughs. We end the podcast paying our respects to the great R. Lee Ermey, not just a man who played a Marine in "Full Metal Jacket," but lived it in real life. He will be missed. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers

Pawprint | animal rescue podcast for dog, cat, and other animal lovers
Author and former U.S. Marine Craig Grossi shares the story behind his book “Craig & Fred: A Marine, A Stray Dog, And How They Rescued Each Other.” Goes on sale Tuesday, October 31, 2017! In 2010, Sergeant Craig Grossi was doing intelligence work for Marine RECON—the most elite fighters in the Corps—in a remote part of Afghanistan. While on patrol, he spotted a young dog "with a big goofy head and little legs" who didn’t seem vicious or run in a pack like most strays they’d encountered. After eating a piece of beef jerky Craig offered—against military regulations—the dog began to follow him. "Looks like you made a friend," another Marine yelled. Grossi heard, "Looks like a 'Fred.'" The name stuck, and a beautiful, life-changing friendship was forged. Fred not only stole Craig’s heart; he won over the RECON fighters, who helped Craig smuggle the dog into heavily fortified Camp Leatherneck in a duffel bag—risking jail and Fred’s life. With the help of a crew of DHL workers, a sympathetic vet, and a military dog handler, Fred eventually made it to Craig’s family in Virginia.

Pawprint | animal rescue podcast for dog, cat, and other animal lovers
Author Craig Grossi reads from his book “Craig & Fred: A Marine, A Stray Dog, And How They Rescued Each Other.” Goes on sale Tuesday, October 31, 2017! In 2010, Sergeant Craig Grossi was doing intelligence work for Marine RECON—the most elite fighters in the Corps—in a remote part of Afghanistan. While on patrol, he spotted a young dog "with a big goofy head and little legs" who didn’t seem vicious or run in a pack like most strays they’d encountered. After eating a piece of beef jerky Craig offered—against military regulations—the dog began to follow him. "Looks like you made a friend," another Marine yelled. Grossi heard, "Looks like a 'Fred.'" The name stuck, and a beautiful, life-changing friendship was forged. Fred not only stole Craig’s heart; he won over the RECON fighters, who helped Craig smuggle the dog into heavily fortified Camp Leatherneck in a duffel bag—risking jail and Fred’s life. With the help of a crew of DHL workers, a sympathetic vet, and a military dog handler, Fred eventually made it to Craig’s family in Virginia.

Justin Carroll drops back by to talk about the 1911 pistol. The US government paid a LOT of money teaching him to depend on one. And he shares real-world use lessons learned. For those who don’t know, he’s a former Marine Recon, Marine special operations, and former government alphabet soup guy who ran a 1911 and many other guns for a living. So Justin has just a wee bit of experience with what works and what doesn't. And today he’s going to share with us some basics about the reality of depending on one and must have options for neophytes. The 1911 pistol is a deep part American lore. If you're a child of the 70's and 80's, you probably have at least one grandfather who used one in war. And your dad might have used one in a "conflict" and most likely had a 1911 as his one go-to handgun for home defense. For this reason, many of us lust after them even though we're converts to the Tupperware warrior guns like the Glock. But there's still that lust begging to be satiated. So today we talk all things 1911 so you can decide if it's right for you and what to look for. [itunes] The 1911 For Beginners Topics Discussed: The number one must-have feature on a 1911 John Browning's invention Vs. the modern striker fired pistols The secret to how the US Marines keep their pistols running in top condition Understanding the limitations and setting expectations High-end custom 1911s Off the shelf Vs.

Zach Martin recently retired from the U.S. Marine Corps after 16 years in the service. But 25 years ago, he and your host were hyperliterate misfit high-school pals, trading Thomas Pynchon, Thomas Disch and Robert Anton Wilson novels. So how did he end up commanding Marine Recon forces in Iraq and Afghanistan as Maj. Zachary D. Martin? Let's find out on The Virtual Memories Show!
I cannot believe it has been almost 2.5 years since this show. Unquestionably time to have it again. Much of the conversation about the USMC over the last decade has been about its "Second Land Army" status .... well .... Marines are still second to none at their core skill set. In case someone forgot that - our next guest and his Marines reminded everyone of not just that - but the power of the Navy-Marine Corp team. Over a 48 hour period, the 15th MEU/PELARG team conducted offensive air operations in Afghanistan resulting in the deaths of 5 confirmed enemy fighters, provided disaster relief in Pakistan to 120 victims who had been without aid since July, and seized a pirated vessel, rescuing a crew of 11 hostages and detaining 9 suspected pirates off the coast of Somalia. Our guest will be Captain Alexander Martin, USMC - the leader of the team that took back The Magellan Star.
