#61 - A Day in the Life of a Marine...

In this unfiltered episode, Tim sits down with Chris (“CC”) to walk through photos and stories from his Marine Corps deployments in Afghanistan and around the world. What starts as casual conversation over bourbon quickly turns into a firsthand look at combat life — clearing compounds, searching for IEDs, escorting missions, and navigating the constant uncertainty of operations where intelligence was often wrong and danger was everywhere.

Chris explains the reality behind the gear, the missions, and the decisions that kept his team alive, while also reflecting on the bond formed with the men he served beside — friendships that have lasted through weddings, funerals, and life after the military. The episode also explores what movies get wrong about war, the emotional weight of those experiences, and how different the rest of the world can be compared to life in the U.S.
