You guys ever think about getting young ncos, maybe 1st termers?

This was an interesting discussion. Caden had some unfortunate experiences as a Marine. It happens. Albert, you struck a chord, "unnecessary stress," I say this expression a lot. It sounds like Caden had bad leadership and, sadly to say, was surrounded by some idiots and incompetents, it happens. You guys didn't highlight much as to what drove Caden to drink a lot and why he finally decided, enough was enough. I did the magical four years as an Infantryman. I knew when I had about a year and a half in I was going to do my time and get out; it was a no-brainer. I almost reenlisted during my 3rd year in, luckily I didn't. My three Westpac deployments were great but when it was time to get out, it was that time. Leadership is probably the root factor why someone stays in or gets out. The next factor is personalities.

Hey, Sargent, major bull. What in the crap did u do to get band again? Your getting talent

Great Podcast, im curious though . . Gunny you didn’t really seem to ask Caden too many questions about his “Business” I don’t doubt his success but I do question what exactly his “Business” entails. I did some digging of his and Sean’s account and I don’t say this to disrespect or discredit anyone, but if you google GFI (Global Financial Impact) they are a very questionable company. Almost very similar to Primerica if you have ever heard of them (Google them as well lots will come up) Like Gunny likes to say “Im playing Devil’s advocate here” It would be cool to have them on again and go a bit more in to detail of how they are making their success and how they get paid, etc. SgtMaj seemed to have been a little bit more curious /questionable of Caden’s success. Only reason I bring this up is cause I don’t want them painting a fake (for a lack of better words) to your audience, from the looks of it, if you click on their accounts anyone can apply to be a “Financial Broker”. Point is, I’m trying to get at is that it seems very similar to Primerica which is ultimately a Pyramid scheme in a way. Are people actually successful in those Primerica and GFI absolutely, I don’t doubt that but at what cost? Selling unnecessary products to family and close friends? Again, no disrespect but I’m sure the viewers who are seeking success are curious as well. Semper Fi brothers !

Beard was the first thing I began after walking out the gate for the last time and have it still 40 years on.

Ha ha, about the beer, on recruiting duty, I had a soda machine in my office, I would put soda and the top filled with beer, I was a gunny. This was the old day's everyone party, you work hard and you play hard.

You guys should get Randall Parkes on here. He was on Urban Valor 🤘🏼

This is gonna be a good one!

Amazing view, where is the ocean? Of the mountains to the northeast?

Non binary Joe Dirt 😆😆

A. Ramos the best in the biz!

Albert for Secretary of State!

I'm not being insensitive. At least that happened in public, where he could get the medical attention he needed quickly, if it was something major. God be with him.

Undisciplined fuck! With the knife hand out! Who gave that Marine permission to fall out on my grinder! Marine Humor. If you know you know.

A sad day 😢

People have to know their personal limits. This DI may have some issues or the stress has reached its threshold. I hope he will get better soon. The Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. Smith, went running and passed out and subsequently needed heart surgery. Being physically fit is great but pushing unreasonable limits will lead to bad outcomes.

It happens.

Mosdef need some swag to rep the brand

I am pretty sure big brother is watching everything.

100%. Needs of the Corps (cost me my marriage). You need a monitor on your podcast.

As I was viewing the video and then reading the comments, all I can think of is if certain leaders don't give you the recognition you deserve, something is seriously flawed. I was in the infantry and had two deployments and just made three years in the Marines. I went to the Squad Leadership Course and Jungle Training Course and did all my MCIs. I consulted with my First Sgt about my promotion to Corporal. He said he would look into it. This was about the time I was asked about reenlisting. I was becoming unmotivated due to the BS and became very transparent and said I was not to re-up. I almost did, to go down to Panama but the Career Planner screwed up the packet. Having a year left, I transferred from 1/9 and went to 2/1 and did my third deployment. Returning back to Pendleton, I was promoted and still got out. The Marine Corps was a whole different game in the mid 1980s into the early 1990s. I was a Fire Team leader and at times filled in as Squad Leader. I never had gotten into trouble. I am not bittered. I learned don't wait for anything even if you believe you should get it, with certain exceptions. When I got out of the Marines, it was time to prioritize on other goals. My CO with 2/1 was a decent leader who wanted me to stay in. I respect him to this day. But in the end, I created opportunities for myself.

I am momma and he still amazes me thank you for having him on loved hearing his drive and passion shows through. Dylan has always been driven from a young age to be the best at everything you do. He has taught me more than I ever could imagine.

One of the best interviews to date

I love how Albert is always clarifying and confirming. PSS master right there! Also, Dylan’s answers were very reflective and articulate; he was amazing to listen to. Love your podcast, guys.

I wasn't a marine. I was in the Army. I love listening to this podcast. I get so much motivation from it. Thank you 👍

quick question Gunz how do you find institutions that have real estate and accept military training and education to may be able to apply those credits towards a degree to take the exam for a realtor brokers license?

This episode was FIRE

This particular discussion was informative because your guest, Dylan Hernandez, mentioned what he did to transition from the Marines to a successful civilian. Powerful discussion. Albert and Barry, the reason why Dylan didn't remain in the Marines can be summed up, maybe that was all he needed from the Marines to serve and he had bigger goals and plans . Many Marines and other military members share one common denominator, they didn't necessarily have foresight and a plan. I know because I was there myself. I took the difficult road instead of finding a more paved one to travel. After the Marines, life as a civilian was tough but I didn't want to reenlist. What I learned through trials and errors and great difficulties is, 1) have foresight, where do you want to go or end up at; 2) create a plan to get there; 3) Keep it organized and; 4) whatever you do, don't procrastinate.

OoRAH!

Never mind, my life is great

The interviews are really good. Thanks for posting.

Did something a little different when I transitioned to the civilian world after retirement. Used my GI Bill, went to a Community College in Tampa, and got a degree in Respiratory Therapy. Rare to run into a Marine working in healthcare but hey, it’s a female dominant industry (I’m single by the way so no cheating going on). Recommend anybody looking to get out to checkout the various opportunities available in healthcare. With our aging population, there are more employment opportunities than qualified applicants. Many left the industry during the pandemic and never returned. It does mean more education/training, passing national medical boards, and a chance for you to utilize your education benefits. Search the medical programs available and prerequisites for those programs in the area you plan to live in. Schools will have a VA representative on campus to help with your benefits as well as job placement after graduation (working graduates is the best selling point for that school).

Dumb question for yall... yall don't judge lol.... yall keep talking about how moving the ranks, "re-inlisting" again, keeps popping up?? Example: if someone wants to go into recruiting (I assume there's paperwork), why re-linlist, if you're already in the military?? I know what I get for assuming..

Dylan was one of the best Marines I had in the Regiment! It was my honor to serve alongside him. No doubt he has a very bright future! SF

It’s basically impossible for the United states to ever have to worry about fighting a war in our homeland

The Marine Corps of today is more active in pursuing new technologies and modernization than it ever has been before. It's a great time to be a Marine.

Felt like an eternity waiting for the next vid to drop

Dylan is a badass!

As a Marine from Kentucky, I approve of Barry’s redneck accent

I found this discussion interesting how Dylan did 12 years and got out of the service..What rank did he get out as? Dylan also seems more laid back, out of the stress zone, I can see how he roadmap and navigated into a career outside of the Marines.

Interesting conversation guys. Barry, your comments on your mentor Irene hit an interesting point. Leadership should check themselves, study their strengths and weaknesses and what they need to change. Subordinates will, in my opinion, do a better job when they feel they are being treated as unit members and their leadership is willing to know something about them, even something as where are they from or how are things moving along. Leaders will not blur boundaries. If anything, they will probably strengthen communication and cooperation. Look up the Hawthorne Effect, it was an interesting study. I strongly believe in learning different ways to connect with different people is extremely valuable and important. Good conversation!

Bro. We saw the video. You’re looking thru his sh!t, not looking for him or calling his name… even if you were you seriously looking for him you had no right to enter his off post dwelling.

Spreading misinformation

Get Jonas the Mad Hatter he's a Prior Drill Instructor. I think he's in California still. he always tells stories!

Too many Marines don’t want to see our Corps evolve. Never heard of “adapt and overcome”. Every generation of Marines always say they had it tougher than the generation after them.

This podcast is a 10/10, as an active duty Corporal considering doing the MECEP program this podcast answered a lot of questions and doubts I had about the program. It’s also amazing to have somebody from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 putting this information out there being recruited from the island myself, thank you Albert!!

I have been watching this since the podcast was at about 1.5k subs. It always astonishes me when I see how low the numbers are on these videos. You guys are putting out amazing content. I don't normally subscribe to channels but I will since you guys are criminally underrated.

You two Marines should have a show at Parris island, the SgtMajor will see how the east coast is ran. Semper FI.
