I’m looking forward to hearing more about the results of your hard work.
FINALLY a Marine…..Civilian addressing the critical & core fundamentals on transition! I truly believe that those that have walked the walk… need to share the talk…. There are so many incredible things that the Marine Corps and Marines do; however, when it comes to that ‘bridge’ between Marine Corps and civilian employment… we need those that have WALKED/CROSSED and in some cases blown up that bridge and started over to SHARE how they did it. We will never hear that the Marine Corps brought in a private company to tell them how to take the hill and in that same line of thinking… we should never JUST allow Active Duty Marines to instruct how to cross that bridge from Marine to Civilian. I love the Corps and each and every one that serves; however, I love those that have walked the walk to share the talk!

Recently discovered your podcast, outstanding work! Your work is the light at the end of long crazy tunnel, the advice and stories are inspirational. I’m just a few months shy of hanging my uniform up for the last time and the stress of leaving that behind and starting a new life is the scariest thing I can imagaine. So thank you brother for what you do, Semper Fi!
One think I did want to back you up on and it’s been my mantra for the last 4 plus year is, as a Sergeant if I can’t do it, it can’t be done.
Carry one brother.
Efrain! Semper Fi brother and thank you for your service to this great Nation! If there is anything I can do to help you in your transition, please reach out to me (frank@frankgustafson.com). I’d be happy to talk about your situation, options, ideas and strategies if you like! – Thanks for listening to the podcast… please help me spread the word! I’d like for EVERY Marine out there to listen to at least one episode. – Here to help brother, if you need anything!!

Thank you for a very powerful podcast. The topics you covered in episode 7 were particularly relevant to my current situation as a transitioning C-130 pilot. I now consider this a must-listen-to program.
Thank you for the kind words Lee, and thank you for your service brother!. I am glad you got some value out of the podcast. Richard Rierson is a great guy and I am sure that if you wanted to connect with him he’d be glad to help in any way he can. I’d be happy to make the introduction if you’d like.
