As a former watchstander, I have enjoyed every episode as each one brings back memories of things I haven’t thought of in a long time!
Apple Podcasts5BrwnlaUnited Statesa month ago - Much needed!
James does an excellent job in his interviews and has had some great guests on. MSG Duty is one of those assignments in the military that many may know exist, but don’t know the details of and this podcast does well explaining those. I would say the majority of Marines that made it off the program successfully are grateful for the time they served in the MSG program! Keep up the great work James!
