Reflected on nearly ten years since leaving the Marine Corps and how it remains both the best and worst job I’ve ever had. Shared some family history about my father’s attempted enlistment and reflected on the anniversary of the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing, the recent Marine Corps Marathon, and how those events brought back memories of my own service. Grateful for the experience and the impact it has had on my life.
