Podcast: What No One Tells You About Military Life

Ronnie Goode II has been enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps for 17 years, during which time he has had six tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and balanced life in the military with having a family.

In this compelling podcast, he gives an inside look into his military time, including what most people don’t talk about: what it’s like preparing for deployment, how important it is to trust your training, and dealing with the realities of being in combat.

It’s a fascinating 35-minute session everyone should hear.
