Podcasts about Marjah

JK Weston is more than just a man. More than a patriot, more than an author. He is a storyteller who has been in the belly of the beast and stared the devil in the eye. He worked in both Iraq and Afghanistan in an official capacity with the U.S. State Department. He was a semi-direct link to Washington, D.C., on all matters of big strategy concerning the Iraqi elections. JK was tasked with building the new government. He explains how some of these political positions were filled and by whom they were filled. We discuss the mistakes of America's longest war and of some unforgettable memories. Kael was in Fallujah and later Marjah, Afghanistan. He was attached to General Larry Nicholson on both occasions. Both occasions as his political advisor. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it. It is always enlightening to understand the missions and execution of tasks at 2-3 levels higher than you are/were commanding.

Just to be clear, this podcast is less about managing menopause in the physical sense of the term and more about what you might be telling yourself about it. If you are stuck in the messy middle, or you're itching for a change, and perhaps just don't know what that is, this is for you. If you think life right now is hard or you are overwhelmed, I think this episode will be one you'll find rather awesome in the real sense of the word. We'll dive into the mindset shifts and emotional resilience to navigate this phase, helping you embrace the possibilities that lie ahead. “After surviving a triple devastation in losing the love of her life, her job, and her health all at once, Dr. Marjah Simon-Meinefeld began a 10+ year journey studying, reading and listening to everything she could on deliberately creating a new life.” My Guest: Marjah Simon is the visionary behind Author Writer's Academy, where successful entrepreneurs, entertainers, and executives become authors effortlessly.

There's more to being a Marine Squad Infantry Leader than simply telling other Marines what to do. You're not only responsible for your squad's successes, but you also feel the weight of the most devastating of failures. But The Battle of Marjah isn't where Lions of Marjah author Ryan Rogers' story ends - a resurgence of vengeance, a Five-Day War, and getting out alive is all an integral part of the tale.

The Battle of Marjah. A knock-down, drag-out, world class brawl. Featuring over 15,000 soldiers from all over the world, it was the largest joint operation in Afghanistan up to that point. And Ryan Rogers knows it better than most - he was a Marine Infantry Squad Leader for the whole damn thing. He was on the ground for the first day, and the next, and the day after, making the sort of decisions most wouldn't dare face. He's also the host of the Choices Not Chances podcast, and he's the author of 'Lions of Marjah', where he retells the events of the entire engagement from his perspective on the ground.  Believe it or not, there's more to this story than meets the eye - a fleet anti-terrorism security team, a surprising turn in the boxing ring, and a unique appreciation of just how powerful the men and women of the armed forces really are all play a part in Ryan's tale.

For an infantry Marine, you "march or die". When Marines do get to march on the enemy it is an unforgettable, life-altering experience. Re-entry to friendly lines is winning the day. "The fight raged for hours, and for hours we raged back. We flew in from the sky for the opening of our attack. Three days they stood and fought us hard before they were overcome.We dropped them in the killing fields between the poppy runs. Such a pretty battlefield, I never would have dreamed, the beauty of a poppy field in Marjah in the spring.

In my first book, “Lions of Marjah”, I talk about several situations that took place in the country. Specifically, I wrote about a day when we were in a pretty good gunfight. There were fighters squirting out of the forward edge of the battle area and this was observed by my squad and the remaining Marine co-located at the same Patrol Base. During the Fight, an enemy mortarman squirted out of the battle and headed east away from the fight on a motorbike. He had his mortar system in tow. Instantly our 60mm mortar team, headed by Kyle Mihalecz, went into action. They prepared the rounds for airburst, calculated the flight time, and used another one of our weapons guys inside the courtyard as an aiming stake. They let the round fly and gave us a 3-second countdown to the splash. Like clockwork, the round splashed, and the enemy fighter disappeared in the mortar impact. It was a direct hit and the surgical accuracy of the shot meant we didn't need to conduct a battle damage assessment BDA. Kyle later became a Scout Sniper and deployed again. In this conversation, we cover his life, career, and subsequent initiatives. Please enjoy this episode.

On today's special episode we present Metal of Honor recipient and American Hero, Kyle Carpenter's key note speech from our 2023 Street Cop Conference in Nashville, Tennessee. It was our honor to have him speak to over 1700 cops to share his story of heroism, perseverance and resiliency. William "Kyle" Carpenter (born October 17, 1989) is a medically retired United States Marine who received the United States' highest military honor, the Medal of Honor, for his actions in Marjah, Helmand Province, Afghanistan in 2010. Kyle Carpenter was the youngest living Medal of Honor recipient at the time. Kyle grew up in a loving household where sports, hard work, and dedication were supported. While this is a Marine that, as he says, "cuddled a grenade" and lived to tell about it, he is another example of how good men answer the call. His is also a story of overcoming the devastation of war with family love and hard work.

KamranAstana was an interpreter for 3rd Battalion 6th Marines Kilo Company, during the invasion of Marjah in 2010, during Operation Moshtarak. The fighting was highly kinetic for the entire deployment. Kamran showed resolve and a fighting spirit rarely matched, even by the ANA commandos. Kamran became more than an interpreter on that deployment. The bonds forged in combat in 2010, are the bonds that brought us back together in Kamran's time of need. Over the following year, we worked to get Kamran out of the country and to somewhere safe. Thanks to patriots like Jonathan Myers, Mrs. Katt, FOX news, and many others along the way. Please enjoy this episode.

When the Americans left Afghanistan my friend was still there. Anyone who was a fighter reported to the Panjshir Valley to join the Mujahideen resistance.

In The Marine Corps, we don't have medics. We have warfighters and we have Navy Corpsmen. The warfighters generally wage the war, and the Navy Corpsmen keep them healthy, and should they fall; he patches them back up. The Navy Corpsmen are in many ways the lifeblood of the infantry line. They live, train, fight and die right beside their men. In the Navy, they are referred to as “Green Side Corpsmen”, in the “Infantry line” they go by Brother or DOC. Anderson (Doc H.)Hernandez, joins us on this episode. Doc. H. was Second Platoon's lead DOC on the Marjah push in 2010. Doc Hernandez was awarded the Bronze Star for his actions in 2010, and his accounts are necessary for future Corpsmen to hear. Look out for the full episode on 02-07-23. Thanks for watching.

This week in the studio a US Marine that gave 11 years of his life to the Corps. During his years of service he served on 5 deployments with 1 trip to Iraq and 1 trip to Afghanistan. Although he has been an Infantryman, All Marine Boxer, and Combat Instructor at the School of Infantry, during this conversation tonight we are going to focus on his time as a Squad Leader in the Battle of Marjah, the injuries both physical and psychological that he received, and what it takes to dedicate your life to veterans and transitioning troops to make sure that they land on both feet upright upon their entry back into civilian life, where far to often we hear that these Marines and soldiers lose focus, passion, and a mission to live their life by. My guest this week will tell you how after reading Marcus Lutrell's book he turned his daily notes into this fantastic 1st hand account of his time with the Lions of Marjah both good and bad. It is my pleasure to introduce former United States Marine and host of the Choices not Chances Podcast…Ryan Rogers.

Ryan Rogers is a Marine Infantryman that served with Kilo Company 3rd Battalion 6th Marines during Operation Moshtarak in Marjah, Afghanistan.
