Ever wonder what it takes to be a Marine? Join us, your hosts Mike Francis and Adam Grizzly Grey, as we open up a world known to only a select few. On our show today, we’re excited to have Corporal Michael Sylvester, a fellow 3/6 brother who’s seen the Marine Corps evolve through significant changes. He’s here to take you on a journey through his experiences before and after the life-changing events of 9/11.

Corporal Sylvester takes us behind the scenes of an incredibly high-stress world - the drill school. With captivating stories from his training days, he highlights the grit, intensity, and discipline expected of a Marine. One can't help but feel a sense of awe at the dedication and intensity of these warriors, training in a relentless environment where even trees become allies! Sylvester breaks down the complex dynamics between drill instructors and recruits, pointing out the unique balance of fear, respect, and understanding that forges trust and creates warriors.

Yet, being a Marine isn’t just about the intensity of the drill school. It’s about overcoming challenges, fostering brotherhood, and carrying an unparalleled sense of pride. This is what we explore with Sylvester as we touch upon the unique mindset required, the pride associated with being a Marine, and the transition from drill instructor back to the fleet. We laugh, we reminisce, and we take in the wisdom shared by Sylvester. You won’t want to miss these raw, authentic, and inspiring stories from the heart of the Marine Corps.
