    It was interesting but sort of difficult to follow with all the distractions. Drew, coming from a home with a mother who is an educator and father a father, doesn't add up why he did poorly in school and had defiance towards authority figures; yet, he joins the Marines. Generational can either reinforce ideologies or devalue them. It all depends on each individual and society's collectiveness.

    Albert respectfully i have to give u some pushback for ur points who one the debate. Obviously it’s been a while but here is my view. As far as optics like berry said she had him upset and flustered mainly so it gave that side snips and clips of him getting upset and talking about irreverent topics. So the media was all over it. HOWEVER, trump got his win in, due to Kamala not staying any of her policy positions or how she will be better. That’s y he’s not giving her another chance he didn’t need to win nor give her another shot. After the debate multiple polls from different orgs, and independents said they didn’t like how he got flustered but still more swayed to vote for him due to his prior history as president and believe he will make the economy better. No disrespect and Much love to the team gents

    Albert, at the root of that particular experience and situation was a missed opportunity for that recruiting office, bottom line. This recruiter, didn't hear his name mentioned, said that his work was absorbing his hobbies and other interests. What some "may" and "may not" come to learn is when opportunities present themselves, minimally, take time out and explore. It may reduce stress and other life challenges. Many people are in their comfort zones. They don't believe they need to put more efforts in self improvement and especially, with people skills..If a person, regardless where they work, invested in improving themselves, they would accomplish way more..Taking a course on people skills or buying a highly recommended book would help immensely..But, many are in their comfort zones, like the RSS office you mentioned.

    My son went to MCRD for boot camp. He was an Admin from 2015-2019. He went through a bad marriage to a person who was addicted to drugs and he had no support from his leadership. I was in the military for 14 years, retired law enforcement as a Police Chief. I went out to support him for several months. I seen first hand the lack of support he had received from his leadership and that is disappointing since he wanted to be a Marine since he was five years old. He loved the Marines was amazing talented at his job, he was on funeral detail and while at MCRD I’m guessing he did over couple hundred funerals. I’m sure had he not had the bad experience at MCRD would have re-enlisted.

    Hi, Jesse James here. You can look me up. I was a marine under Staff Sergeant and then Gunnery Sergeant Ban. She was fantastic. I remember when she was to come to the unit we were scared that a former drill instructor would not know the job and that they would be a hard ass. We were dead wrong. The at the time SSgt Ban was competent confident and down to earth. She would go on to make waves across our Battalion and beyond as an embodiment of good shit. She was a personal role model to me and to many other Marines in the unit as well. What people say about you when you are not in the room says alot about you. When it came to Gunny ban you would be hard fought to find someone that didn't say good things. She was a role model yes, but more than that she truly meant it when she said she has an open door policy. She would make time to listen to any Marine who wanted to be heard even if that time was hours after the duty day. Gunny Ban was the prime example in everyone's mind of what a Marine should be, and what a leader should be. I am very excited to watch this video when it comes out.

      @@mutedforever your entire analysis was based on the fact that you felt like she wasn’t proficient enough in her MOS over a span of - what maybe two to three years - during her first or even at the beginning of her second tour which was likely 6-7 years ago? I can understand disagreeing with platforming someone you feel doesn’t deserve to be platformed. I respect that you’re sticking to your guns because it speaks to a strong conviction. However, the title of this podcast episode isn’t “Gunny Ban the SIGINT prodigy.” It’s not “Gunny Ban - everyone’s best friend at the TSCIF” So I am really interested to understand what you are attempting to gain by brazenly broadcasting your dissent and encouraging others to take pause and consider it when your perspective and your experience is just that- yours alone and why your claims about her character are not only relevant but necessary to consider in the context of a conversation that, in no measure, is a self righteous proclamation of 26XX mastery.

      @@stephisaknee Apologies, this slipped through my notifications and did not realize you responded. To keep it simple - Ban doesn't deserve a platform for copious reasons. I understand the podcast will be addressing her "marine corps story and advocating for mental health on SDA". The story is easy - evaded Marine Corps duties until she got on the drill field. When she was expected to lead, to mentor, to embrace the suck - her mental health took a dump because she never had to experience the real "Marine Corps", never experienced leading Marines. Only experience she had up to her second enlistment was Marine Net and Sgts course. I also understand you have to be 'right place right time' to do some actionable things in the Corps - She dodged multiple attempts at deploying (successfully might I add), she relied on her subordinates to keep the TSCIF, JWICS and SIPR up due to her lack of knowledge. This alone left a sour taste in quite a bit of Marines at MAG 31. However, as we've seen time and time again, we let those Marines slide by without mitigating the issue. We give them good fit reps, throw them a going away and give them a plaque. Everything up to this point has been of her own reaping - and it shows. Her whole personality IS the Marine Corps. I've been friends on Facebook with her for years - reposting Marine Corps memes every 4 minutes tells me why she is lacking in her MOS.

    This ought to be a good interview. Everyone from MAG 31 and the Drill field knows “Sgt Ban” from the TSCIF. Her junior marines hated her because she didn’t know how to do SIGINT, all she talked about was wanting to be a DI, dodged deployment due to wife divorcing her, months down the road the S2 chief offered her another opportunity to deploy, she declined. Went to the field and made it her whole personality. Got meritoriously promoted due to everything but MOS proficiency. She is everything that’s wrong with the marine corps.

      lol this is funny. Firstly I’ll take responsibility for any mistakes I made as a young leader. That’s the point of growing. Not all Marines will like you and you will make mistakes and that is okay. Next, you coming on this platform with a disguise just to attempt to put someone down says more about you than me, why are you hiding, “Jack”? Your validity and credibility is already questionable in your claim that I didn’t know how to do SIGINT. If you had an understanding of what we were there for, it was for communications enabling, besides SIGINT not being our MOS’s specific task (that’s 2621s), there is also limited SIGINT in the air wing. This shows me that you did not work in this field at all, or if you did then maybe you yourself do not know the mos. My main individual task from MAW was to lead that det, personnel security and to be a site security manager. You should refrain from making claims that you have limited understanding of, speaking on what I assume would be the POV of a below average lcpl, since that’s how you articulate yourself. Furthermore, your statement that I was offered a deployment twice. Again due to your skewed POV, you are wrong. It was offered once and despite being available for 5 years before that to deploy, it was offered when I already had orders to exit the unit, so timelines conflicted and yes, being a DI was my dream so I did not want to change my class. Additionally, due to TAD, we weren’t MAG-31’s Marine’s we were MAW’s, so the S-2 did not have the operational weight you may perceive. At no point did the divorce I initiated against an unfaithful spouse ever deter my availability. What you also don’t know, is it’s a stretch to call me a dodger as I volunteered for 3 deployments post SDA that all got cancelled. But if you would speak off of facts if you actually knew me and not based off of allegations and rumors, then perhaps you might actually have an educated, articulate, objective response. It sounds like you are struggling with some things and feel the need to comment negative things towards someone you do not know so with that being said I’m more than happy to discuss any matters with you!

      @@Nothingtoseehere4304I’ll concede to the fact SIGINT was not your main MOST when working at MAG-31. However, Shkreli and the other fellow SIGINT-ers definitely held hatred towards you for knowing absolutely zero about your MOS and the additional MOS of ensuring the Odensphere and JWICS remained operational at MAG. Also how you could never answer a single question regarding the TSCIF. Which, weirdly enough, everyone in the S2, TSCIF AND office all deployed with the exception of one individual. Sgt Ban. GySgy Carmichael and Maj behrmann discussed in the open how they held disappointed with the excuses you had for not wanting to deploy. You found out your wife cheated while at PME, she was a POS anywho. However, the deployment opportunity came well before your orders to the drill field were cut. Saying you volunteered for 3 after your SDA is a cop out. Carmichael trying to explain to Berhmann how an E5, someone who will most likely pick up E6 on the field, has never deployed or done their MOS. You were awful as the SSR for the SCI program, you didn’t “run” the dep there. You arrived as a new E4 along with others. You weren’t a site security manager - so many holes in your story.

Your opinions and others’ will be opinions and as aforementioned I will never say I never made mistakes.

However, again your continued audacity to go out of your way to bring others down publicly and then to listen to someone you allegedly hate so much for 2-3 hours, while not even revealing yourself says more about you than anything. I question why you feel the need to hide and why you don’t just say who you actually are so there can be an actual conversation and not just attempts at defamation, let alone on a podcast episode that will be focused towards mental health. I can assure you it’s this type of behavior that gears Marines and people to mental health difficulties. It’s the most hurt people that project onto others. If you are holding this much anger, I strongly recommend attending individual therapy, maybe even an intensive outpatient program. And that’s not even meant to be a jab, it’s something that evidently needs medical intervention.

    This discussion was very fluid and interesting. Jackie, your unfortunate experiences with the dependent spouse, you took the right course of action. In the Marines, women represent about 7%-8% of Marines. Women also don't stop being competitive because of their roles, civilian or military. By nature, many are competitive with one another; especially when an attractive and intelligent woman Marine is among many other Marines. Maybe this spouse wears a mask of insecurities. Albert, excellent point, it is about having a network, a community of people relationships. Each part can or has the potential to add value to the whole. Within this respect, it is a network that has various business interests and support for those within this community. Albert & Barry, the infantry doesn't have the same opportunities regarding the flexibility to take college classes; unless this has somehow changed. As a former Marine Infantryman, we spent a great deal of time in training. Albert, it is not a question of Marine applicants choosing the infantry; it is recruiters promoting "open contracts." The moment an applicant doesn't accept an open contract, the recruiter will change the paperwork. I don't know how long Jackie has been in the Marines or maybe I didn't get to see part I of the interview. She is very interesting. Jackie if you are reading this, I applaud your psychology of understanding different people, personalities, and your point about not giving away your power to another! You are a good Marine who has gained much information through your various assignments.

    First, I was older (mid-20s) when I joined (Navy, but corpsman...17 years with the Marines), and there is definitely a benefit of age and maturity. Second, as Doc I always advocated for those PFCs in the barracks. A lot of 'seniors' (E3/E4) got their jollies by trying to be a DI. No bueno.

    I remember watching Kevin Martinez's interview about his life challenges, meaning being undergoing financial hardships and being homeless..Albert, that must have sucked living on base housing and some authority personality wanting to pull rank F that.

    Interesting discussion. Tony almost made me laugh about charging clients. There is a reality known as commission and it is part of the business. About the wedding ring- It doesn't define a marriage; it symbolizes that the person is married. Being married is two people believing in their relationship 100% and not straying from it, no matter what.

    Albert, regarding your train of thought, you had mentioned a Major you and Barry had on the podcast and regarding how deployments affect the quality of family life. Albert, you hit all key points regarding what can help with retention: Duty station, bonuses, family issues. I wonder if a Sgt. actually earns 6800 per month. This seems to be next to unrealistic for any military E-5.

    Look, i live 45 min from fort Campbell. I hear their infantry daily. They do alot of practice runs on their infantry. Yall have to train to do yalls jobs. Correct? Yall don't go "winging it".

    No. Period. They can do every other job in terms of support but not infantry. I weigh 210lbs, add a ruck and load out and I’m pushing 300. If I get hit, I need to be confident the person next to me, who has to carry or drag me out, actually can do it.
