Jared Prewitt - It'll Buff Out
<p>Jared was a Sergeant in the Marine Corps with 1st Battalion 6th Marines based out of Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. He joined the Marines in 2004 as Iraq ignited into all-out war. The Battle of Ramadi would forever change Jared’s life and set him down a path of strife and survival. From explosions and gun fights to blood clots and panic attacks, nothing is hopeless.

Bijan Mehdiyoun - EAS, Reserves, LEO, and College
<p>Today on the podcast I spoke with Bijan Mehdiyoun, a prior 3/6 Radio Operator who shared his story during his time with 3/6 and CLB before his EAS and what transitioning was like for him. He shared his story of finding his footing among the adversity he faced throughout it all while joining the Reserves and how he ultimately joined the Navy Reserves, his journey becoming a Law Enforcement Officer, and the work he's doing to obtain his degree to further his career within Law Enforcement. I even shared my story with trying the Reserves at the end as well. Very interesting conversation for anyone that's getting out soon or has given the Reserves a thought.</p>

3/6 - The Battle of Belleau Wood
<p>Decided to read the first 30 pages out of the book "History of The Third Battalion Sixth Regiment, U.S. Marines" by Akers, Mac Ritchie, &amp; Hurlbut, This book goes over the battle of Belleau Wood written by these three lieutenants in 1919 that recorded it on paper as it progressed. The book tells the story in a very candid way but not in a boring way and tells what each Company and the Battalion as a whole did from the time they formed state side to the end of the battle.</p>
