The Marines Preparing for the War That’s Coming
Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer joins the podcast to discuss his decision to re-enlist in the Marine Corps at age 37 and why he believes the new generation of Marines is the most lethal in history. While many claim the "new breed" is soft, Dakota explains how drone warfare, signal discipline, and advanced technology have made today's service members far more capable than those from the GWOT era. Dakota also dives into the real reason the Scout Sniper MOS was cut and the leadership crisis currently facing the Department of War. #DakotaMeyer #MarineCorps #USMC #BlackRifleCoffee Learn more about why Black Rifle Coffee Company is America's Coffee: http://brcc.coffee/2rgH6vu Check us out on social media: Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/blackriflecoffee Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/blackriflecoffeeco LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/6978821 X: https://x.com/blckriflecoffee Did you know that we are on Amazon? http://amzn.to/2oFoBek

Joined Air Force to Avoid Army... Then This Happened
Robert Scott joined the Air Force in 1968 to avoid the Army—then spent most of his career working alongside it. From getting chased down by the draft board to being pushed into the early TACP world, Scott explains how the job was built on improvisation, radios, and hard lessons. Watch the Full TACP Story Here - https://youtu.be/fmbZTuemjFg Then Grenada happened: Rangers, chaos, thin comms, danger-close decisions, and the kind of “seat-of-your-pants” targeting that shaped what TACP would become. 0:00 Joined the Air Force to avoid the Army (irony begins) 1:00 Draft notice + “I’m not going in the Army” 2:13 Recruiter promise: “No draft if you sign today” 2:46 Sheriff shows up to take him—contract saves him 3:30 Electronics → ground radio maintenance 3:37 Korea (1971) and early “ROMAD” work 4:50 Practicing the procedures (before it was “TACP”) 5:26 1977: “You’re changing AFSC to TACP” 6:05 The early years: no schoolhouse, grandfathered skills 7:10 “Bastard child” between Air Force and Army 7:58 Grenada: the call to deploy (real-world warning) 8:47 “Where’s Grenada?” + last-minute intel/maps 9:12 Piles of munitions + “shoot to kill” authority 10:40 Jumping in blind: no beacon, hard pace with Rangers 12:00 The motorcycle wipeout (“Damn, Air Force.”) 13:00 Making targets work without proper lat/longs 14:05 “You made history”—first TACP to call a combat airstrike 15:27 First casualty + “We need that building gone” 16:43 Danger close: pushing for 105 on target 17:36 The mic click… and the building disappears 18:23 Red-roof confusion + bombs not arming on first pass 20:29 BTR-60s: finishing the fight with air support 21:50 Awards/politics: why recognition got delayed/denied 23:00 The one thing he really wanted: the star on jump wings Learn more about why Black Rifle Coffee Company is America's Coffee: http://brcc.coffee/2rgH6vu Check us out on social media: Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/blackriflecoffee Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/blackriflecoffeeco LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/6978821 X: https://x.com/blckriflecoffee Did you know that we are on Amazon? http://amzn.to/2oFoBek

He Ran Out of Ammo. So He Picked Up the Enemy's
Marine officer recounts the moment training gave way to reality during the invasion of Iraq. What begins as a routine movement turns into an ambush—RPGs, mortars, confusion, loss, and split-second decisions that can’t be undone. This isn’t a movie retelling or a highlight reel. It’s a firsthand account of leadership under fire, the cost of command, and what stays with you long after the shooting stops.

At 17, He Walked Through Hiroshima After the Bomb
From surviving an "IED" explosion in Japan that left him in a coma for two months, to witnessing the aftermath of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and eventually finding his brother's wife by pure coincidence in Oregon—this is the raw, unfiltered history of an American life. We follow his journey back to Pearl Harbor, where a man who once lived for the mission finds a new sense of peace and recognition. This is more than a war story; it’s a story about family, the evolution of a man from a "hard boss" to a caregiver, and the bond between two generations of American soldiers.

U.S. Army Ranger and First Sergeant Jason Belford. The War Inside Me.
Jason Belford spent 20 years in the U.S. Army, and he gave nearly 17 years to the war in Afghanistan as an infantryman, sniper, platoon sergeant and Army Ranger. He went on 12 deployments to the country and to Iraq as a member of 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment and the 10th Mountain Divisions. Jason has been not only a guest on this podcast multiple times, but he has also been a cohost on this show, having helped cohost shows for about a year in total many years ago. He and Robert have stayed in touch, but recently bumped into one another at the airport in Pittsburgh. They hugged and talked. They instantly knew that another episode was needed. While cohosting years back, Jason had openly talked about how he attempted to take his own life and he had hoped that it would help others. He shared the story of how his friend Dave helped him during that time of need. Years later, in 2022, the world was crumbling around him. A number of different events created the perfect storm. Dark clouds. Robert was checking up on him and he was told that Jason was going to be out of the net for a while. He was going to get some help. Jason shares on this episode the events that led up to that moment and what he did afterwards to receive help. He shares his spiritual journey and his story will leave you speechless. We couldn't be more happier to see Jason back in studio with us at Mentors4mil. He's been an inspiration for so many while he was in uniform and since he's left service. He continues to deal with his demons daily. He has accepted the fact that it will take daily work to fight what he calls "the war inside me". Jason's book, 'The War Inside Me' will be out soon. _______________ MENTORS4MIL SHOW LINKS: SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@Mentors4mil Support the Show: https://www.patreon.com/Mentors4mil Listen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mentors-for-military-podcast/id1072421783 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3w4RiZBxBS8EDy6cuOlbUl Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mentors4mil Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Mentors4Mil/ Follow on X: https://www.twitter.com/mentors4mil Mentors4mil Website: https://www.mentorsformilitary.com #Ranger #ArmyRanger #JasonBelford #TheWarInsideMe #The War Inside Me #mentors4mil #mentorsformilitary 00:00 Intro 04:04 Army Training: Fort Benning & Fort Polk 06:00 Sniper School & Choosing the Rangers 07:02 Ranger School Graduation & 75th Ranger Regiment 10:06 Joining 75th Ranger Regiment as an Import & RASP Experience 18:27 Imposter Syndrome, Pride & Self‑Reflection 28:57 Needing Help and Immediate Intervention 36:57 Laurel Ridge Rehab & the Recovery Process 43:18 Faith & Finding Peace Through God 51:20 The Vision 01:06:25 Equine Therapy, Purpose & Writing the Book 01:22:59 Community, Consistency & Final Message 01:36:42 Closing Remarks & Thanks Visit our Amazon page to purchase some of the items we use in our studio, or books from our guests. https://www.amazon.com/shop/mentors4milpodcast As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.

This episode follows Sean Robertson’s journey from a junior enlisted soldier in Georgia to a commissioned officer and leader—driven by the Green to Gold program, mentorship, and relentless self-improvement. Sean overcomes barriers including low test scores and a diagnosed heart murmur, leverages mentors and education (University of Hawaii, Columbia, Naval War College), and serves in key assignments from the 173rd Airborne to the NSA and West Point. He shares lessons on leadership, the importance of mentors like Sergeant Snabel, the concept of “camouflage leadership,” and how persistence, humility, and giving back shaped his career. _______________ MENTORS4MIL SHOW LINKS: SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@Mentors4mil Support the Show: https://www.patreon.com/Mentors4mil Listen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mentors-for-military-podcast/id1072421783 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3w4RiZBxBS8EDy6cuOlbUl Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mentors4mil Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Mentors4Mil/ Follow on X: https://www.twitter.com/mentors4mil Mentors4mil Website: https://www.mentorsformilitary.com #shawnrobertson #jsoc #mentors4mil #mentorsformilitary For sales or sponsorship contact info@mentorsformilitary.com 00:00 Intro 05:42 Transitioning to the Military 09:59 First Assignment - 25th ID 13:27 Tough Love from an NCO and The Decision to Become an Officer 18:10 Overcoming Medical Challenges 20:18 Understanding Green to Gold 26:50 Military Intelligence 32:29 Learning from Giants 38:35 Unexpected Assignments 43:03 The Path of a Leader 01:10:44 Camouflage Leadership 01:18:50 Conclusion and Future Endeavors Visit our Amazon page to purchase some of the items we use in our studio, or books from our guests. https://www.amazon.com/shop/mentors4milpodcast As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.

The Price of Freedom: Service After Loss
Source: https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-8wid7-1a54d47 The military does many things with precision and honor, but for families left behind, the hardest journey often begins after the ceremony ends. Grief does not follow a timeline, and loss does not end with the rifle volley as the final notes of “Taps” play. In this deeply personal episode of Army Matters, hosts LTG (Ret.) Leslie Smith and SMA (Ret.) Dan Dailey sit down with two nationally recognized advocates for military survivors: Maj. (Ret.) Bonnie Carroll, U.S. Air Force, and founder of the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Jennie Taylor, Gold Star spouse, mother of seven, and founder of the Major Brent Taylor Foundation. Both women share how the loss of their husbands reshaped their lives, and how survivor community, purpose, and service can coexist with grief. Together, they explore what military families truly need after loss, what civilians often misunderstand about grief, and why connection is the most powerful form of support. Guests: Maj. Bonnie Carroll, U.S. Air Force Retired, Gold Star Spouse and Founder, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) Jennie Taylor, Gold Star Spouse and Founder, Major Brent Taylor Foundation Has a member of the Army positively changed your life?

Redefining Tech for the Future Fight: A General's New Mission
Source: https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-h6eqq-1a411ef The character of war is changing, but its human stakes are not. Speed, software, autonomy, and long-range systems now shape the battlefield, yet every decision still carries life-or-death consequences for Soldiers on the ground. LTG (Ret.) Neil Thurgood’s background has prepared him to help guide thinking on the Army's adaptation without losing the values that define it. How can technology actually serve those who fight? In this episode of Army Matters, hosts LTG (Ret.) Leslie Smith and SMA (Ret.) Dan Dailey sit down with LTG (Ret.) Thurgood, whose career spans enlisted infantry service, combat aviation, senior acquisition leadership, and now defense industry innovation with the defense technology firm Anduril. From formative experiences as the child of an Army aviator, to his own experiences as an Infantrymen, Aviator, and senior leader standing up the Army’s Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO), Thurgood reflects on leadership under pressure, learning through failure, and why speed in acquisition is ultimately about giving Soldiers a chance to come home.

Whether it is the "Death Stare", the ability to eat cold MREs in the dirt, or packing 80 pounds of gear for a simple day trip, we are covering the realities of life in and out of the uniform. Which one of these hit the hardest for you? What did I miss? Drop a comment below and let me know the military habit you still cannot shake! Chapters: 0:00 Civilians Just Do Not Get It 0:08 1.

Active Duty vs Reserve: Which One Actually Pays More?
If you're trying to understand how military pay actually works, the differences between Active Duty, Guard/Reserve, and Veterans can get confusing fast. Base pay, drill pay, BAH, BAS, deployments, healthcare, retirement, taxes, disability, and benefits all work differently depending on your status. In this video, we break down the real differences in compensation and benefits between Active Duty service members, the National Guard/Reserves, and Veterans so you can better understand your financial options. Whether you're currently serving, thinking about switching to the Reserves, or planning your transition out of the military, this overview will help you see how the system actually works. We cover: • Active Duty base pay and how the pay chart works • Reserve and Guard drill pay explained • BAH, BAS, COLA, and military allowances • Why some military pay is **tax-free** • Healthcare differences (TRICARE Prime vs Reserve Select vs VA) • Education benefits and GI Bill differences • VA home loan advantages • Retirement differences (BRS and pensions) • Tax advantages for service members • VA disability compensation explained • Hidden benefits many service members overlook If you’re interested in learning how to maximize your military benefits for real estate and investing, check out the resources linked below.

Former Marine Ranks 5 Countries' Military MREs (Some Were BRUTAL)
Today we’re ranking 5 different military MREs from around the world to find out which country actually makes the best Meal Ready to Eat. I spent $700 and waited weeks to get my hands on MREs from the United States, China, Russia, Ukraine, and Australia, and we’re judging them on three categories: • Ease of use • Amount of food • Taste Some were solid, some were… brutal. As a Marine, I’ve eaten my fair share of US MREs in the field, cold beef stew and all but how do they stack up against foreign military rations? If you’ve ever eaten another country’s MRE, drop a comment and let me know which one wins in your book.

20 Ways the Military Permanently Rewired Your Brain
Here is a YouTube description tailored for your military audience, designed to drive engagement and retention. 20 Weird Things Military Training Does to Your Brain Ever noticed you can’t sit with your back to the door, or that you’re suddenly the fastest walker in every mall? Military training, specifically bootcamp, doesn’t just teach you how to shoot and march; it fundamentally rewires your brain and how you interact with the civilian world. In this video, we dive into the 20 strange habits, psychological shifts, and lifestyle changes that stick with you long after you’ve hung up the uniform. From the "clutter brain" that prevents you from relaxing in a messy house to the dark sense of humor that acts as your pressure valve, we’re covering the reality of life after recruit training. What We’re Covering: The "Inhale" Response: Why you still eat every meal in under four minutes. Emergency Calm vs. Minor Irritation: Why you’re a hero in a car wreck but lose your mind at a slow driver in a roundabout. The "Nasty Civilian" Filter: How your brain automatically spots a lack of discipline and "victim mentality" in public.

6 Massive VA Benefits For Disabled Veterans in 2026
For help filing or improving your VA Disability Claim: https://www.frommilitarytomillionaire.com/claim In this video I break down the 6 best benefits for disabled veterans in 2026 and how to actually use them to build long term financial security. Most veterans focus only on the monthly VA disability check. The real power is in the additional federal and state benefits that reduce expenses, eliminate debt, and create leverage. We cover: - How VA disability income helps you qualify for larger mortgage loans - Full VA healthcare and dental benefits - Property tax exemptions in states like Texas and Florida - Education benefits including Chapter 35 and state tuition programs - Student loan discharge for eligible veterans - State level perks like vehicle registration waivers, toll discounts, and park access If you are a disabled veteran, especially rated 10 percent or higher, these benefits can significantly increase your financial advantage. The goal is not just to collect a check. The goal is to use your benefits strategically to reduce expenses, build assets, and move toward financial freedom.

Why Most Marines FAIL MARSOC Selection
Want to become a Marine Raider? In this video, I break down the 5 biggest reasons candidates get CUT from MARSOC Assessment and Selection (A&S).

If you can’t swim in camies, ruck 12+ miles, or get along with your team, you will not make it. 00:00 - The Reality of MARSOC Selection 00:19 - Where Most Candidates Break (It's Not Rucking) 00:35 - The "Pants Hack" That Saves Energy 00:55 - The Only Two Swim Strokes You Need 02:13 - The 4 MPH Ruck Standard 02:59 - Why Being "Fast" Isn't Enough 03:37 - The Skill You Need Before Arriving 04:34 - How The Fittest Guys Get Cut (The Silent Killer) 05:50 - The "Burn The Ships" Mindset 06:40 - Advice From Actual Marine Raiders #marsoc #marines #militarylife Get a FREE copy of my book, and get connected to the Military Millionaire community on all of your favorite platforms: https://www.frommilitarytomillionaire.com/free-book
