Marine Corps drill instructors represent one of the most legendary roles in the military. From the 1987 war movie "Full Metal Jacket" to their essential job of making new Marines at boot camp in 13-week cycles, the role has become iconic to the public and within squad bays alike. Last month, Military.com and The Washington Post published a joint investigation into the mental health and personal struggles that have afflicted the drill instructor population. With my reporting partner, Kelsey Baker, we found that the high-stress environment for drill instructors was bleeding into some of their personal lives, causing depression, suicidal ideations, familial tension, sleep issues and increased alcohol use to cope. We heard from leadership at both recruit depots. They said that the challenges long associated with the drill instructor role have improved over the last two years, citing recent data about reductions in suicide and misconduct for DIs, increased morale and other metrics the service says prove that point. They also outlined current processes for depot staff to receive mental health help. Two sources who have been at the depots since these changes started said things have shifted for the better in some ways. The conversation about DI stressors was overdue, but they added that there are still underlying issues when it comes to mental health stigma, personal and familial stress, and a residual sense of being under a microscope when it comes to alleged misconduct. Now, the question is this: As improvements are being made, will those changes fix long-standing structural problems affecting drill instructors -- and will the Corps continue to push for progress?

***Mention THREEGUYS code good for 15% off at mcacao***https://mcacao.com/collectionsFounder and Chocolatier Michael Nichols has always loved food. After leaving his engineering career, he craved a new challenge. During a vacation in Peru, he found one. He heard the siren song of chocolate. He knew he wanted to apply his modern engineering sensibilities to making chocolate, treating the ingredient as a gourmet whole food. He was tired of the over-sugared, over-processed chocolates on the market. He wanted to raise the bar.  When he returned from Peru, Michael enrolled in culinary school and it was there that he met Chef Delphin Gomes. Chef Delphin grew up in the Burgundy region of France and has been working in the pastry arts since he was 14 years old. Michael knew immediately upon meeting Chef Delphin that he had found his culinary partner, and m cacao chocolates was founded soon after.  The spirit of adventure and curiosity drives us. We use the highest quality chocolate to explore other whole, high quality ingredients, cuisines, cultures, places, and history. We're not just making chocolates — we're crafting experiences from real food. We don't over-sweeten our creations or pack them full of refined sugars. We search out unique ingredients and unlock their fullest capacity for flavor, texture, and aroma. But that's all a given. That's simply where we start our culinary process.  m cacao is what happens when a French master pastry chef and chocolatier teams up with an engineer from Texas who traded his profession (robots) for his passions of food and chocolate. It's an approach that sees the epicurean classics as building blocks for culinary exploration and innovation. It's what happens when we charge chocolatiers and chefs with exploring ingredients, their histories, and their possibilities. And it's what happens when we treat chocolate as a sacred food passed down to us from pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, not as a flavoring for candy. Not that there's anything wrong with well-crafted candy…but that isn't what we're doing at m cacao. We're making chocolates for people who truly love food, and we take that distinction pretty seriously.  We're curious and innovative by nature. The culture of constant inspiration and creative application of flavors and techniques come from the dynamic that Michael and Chef Delphin have created. It is in that spirit that we present to you the culmination of a lifetime of passion and experience in chocolate and food: the m cacao Chocolate Collections.***Please note all opinions expressed on The Three Guys Podcast do not represent any Group, Company or Organization***Episode Produced by The Three Guys ProductionsThe Three Guys Podcast:WEBSITE AND LINK TO ALL SOCIALSHome | The Three Guys (the-three-guys.com)Instagram:  The Three Guys Podcast (@the_three_guys_podcast_) • Instagram photos and videosTwitter:  The Three Guys Podcast (@TheThreeGuysPo1) / TwitterYouTube:   Three Guys Podcast - YouTubeLinkedIn the-three-guys-podcastDerek:  Derek DePetrillo (@derekd0518) • Instagram photos and videosBrian:  Brian Nazarian (@the_real_brian_nazarian) • Instagram photos and videosBrett:  Brett J.
