Transcript from ‘United States Marine Corps To Bus Life’ podcast
Jess – I went to originally to boot camp in Paris Island where the majority of women went at the time. All females went to Paris Island, while the men went to the West Coast if they were west of the Mississippi. That was at San Diego, or east coast Paris Island if they were east of the Mississippi. Now it’s actually an integrated recruit training and so they’re starting to have female battalions at other locations too. My time was there and it was definitely swampy. Lots of sand and great weather too!
Chris – Do the girls do the same training as the boys?
Jess – They do and the only difference is the MOs or the job. If you are in an infantry or combat field then you go on to TBI, which is the infantry battalion and you do more austere training. Essentially it’s pretty gritty and difficult. For everybody else with the support roles or jobs, they go to combat training.

Transcript from ‘Loose Change The Film That Awoke A Generation’ podcast
Jason – TV was over because there was no NBC, there’s no Late Night with David Letterman or none of that. No MTV, there’s no sports going on. CNN brought us the first televised war in the first 24-hour news. You saw competitors come in during the Clinton Administration, especially the Lewinsky MSNBC launches and Fox News launches. they’re there now but there’s nothing, literally nothing else on other than the news. We all saw together that Red Cross propaganda special where they were saying they were going to take care of the victims and then they stole all the money.

US Marine Joins The IRA | John Crawley
US Marine Joins The IRA, features John Crawley, an Irishman who joined the US Marines, then came back home to join the resistance.
US Marine Joins The lRA | John Crawley
John Crawley left Ireland to join the US Marine Corps. Four years later, he was hand-picked by Martin McGuinness to help ship armaments to Northern Ireland. With the IRA riddled with assests working for British Intelligence, he was caught and served two seperate terms in prison.
Transcript from ‘US Marine Joins The lRA’ podcast
John – I didn’t join the US Marines with a view that the IRA needed my help. I wasn’t that presumptuous. It wasn’t like I was going to join the Marines, come back and be this person who was going to improve things. That that never crossed my mind. I joined the Marines for two reasons. One was to enhance my professional development. So when I did come back and join the IRA, I would be well trained. The other was to test my commitment because I probably would have joined the IRA at 18, but I didn’t know anybody in the area. It was a secret army.

Arctic Warfare Training AWT | Royal Marines Commando Unit
Ever wondered what it is like to fight in the Norwegian Arctic, carrying an eighty pound bergen on a pair of skis, jumping into ice-cold water and sleeping in a snowcave? In this podcast I talk about my arctic warfare training in Norway (AWT) in the first year of a Royal Marines Commando Unit.
Transcript snippet from ‘Arctic Warfare Training AWT’ podcast
Chris
C – Hello friends, I hope this finds you well. Welcome back to another in my what’s the royal marines really like series. I’ve been really looking forward to doing this for quite some time now, because I’m going to talk about Norway, which looking back at least was an experience I was so glad I went through, if maybe I wasn’t so happy at the time for reasons I’ll explain. So Norway is where the Royal Marines do their Arctic Warfare training. I first sort of came across the Norway experience as opposed to just hearing about it when I was on rear party at 42 Commando. So I left for training in February, bitterly cold when we did our commando tests and I went to 42 Commando which is at Bickley, just outside Plymouth, and I was on something called rear party which is basically guard duty. The reason being the whole unit were away on winter deployment or exercise and this was of course in Norway where 42 and 45 commando go every year, at least that’s how it was when I served…

The Alphabet of Vietnam by Jonathan Chamberlain
When men come back from war they bring the war back with them …
Having read two of Jonathan Chamberlain’s memoirs – King Hui about a Hong Kong playboy and Wordjazz for Stevie, a touching tribute to Jonathan’s late daughter who was born profoundly handicapped – I was really looking forward to reading ‘The Alphabet of Vietnam’ and seeing how Jonathan turns his hand to fiction. I was more than impressed. It is an exceptional piece of writing, well researched, one that explores the light and dark in every ‘man’s’ soul in a refreshingly unapologetic manner.
The story unfolds through a series of skillfully interwoven narratives: Two psychotic – or perhaps completely sane – Vietnam veterans who bring their sick war games home with them. A brother who comes to question all he believes in an attempt to do what is right. A return to modern-day Vietnam that explores US war crimes and the country’s rich history and culture through a series of cleverly though out vignettes.
‘And then there is love – and love is complicated …’
What a great book!
Chris Thrall is the author of Eating Smoke: One Man’s Descent into Drug Psychosis in Hong Kong’s Triad Heartland – a bestselling true story.
