  • his week’s Urban Valor episode features retired Marine First Sergeant, Nelson Coburn. Nelson grew up in Brooklyn, NY. His biological father spent most of his life in prison, which ultimately took his life. Nelson spent approximately 22 years in the Marines. He began as a mortarman and served as a Drill Instructor, Marine Security Guard, Scout Sniper Platoon Sergeant, and Personal Security Detail for the Commanding General. Nelson repeatedly found himself in trouble throughout his enlistment, but always managed to work his way out. After sustaining a training injury, Nelson woke up in the middle of surgery to two Corpsman drilling a metal rod through his knee, which was supposed to end his military career. However, Nelson’s determination to stay in the Marine Corps beat the doctor’s odds.

    Was watching this video before bed last night and it didn't register that he looked familiar. Then I woke up this morning to work on a college paper, and his face popped up in my head, so I went back to this video to see his name. Turns out he was my Company 1st Sgt in 2018 when I was in Kilo 3222. Talk about an awesome guy. He was like a dad to us. Love seeing his face again!

    Awesome interview. Thank you for your service as a veteran and your honest commitment to your Corps /core values. Rock on ,God bless . As a Cold War vet its great to see n hear how much the military has evolved . Three generations of career Servicemen in my family. You spoke about spouses and family support . You would be an excellent candidate for a DoD consultant regarding addressing that issue. Maybe as an incentive for retention provide some additional family support. .. Just saying.

    I think we crossed paths at some point. I think it may have been BLT 2/6. I was in 10th Marines, Lima Battery FDC OPS Chief. Maybe Fort AP Hill. I also was in Helmand in 2010 for the Marjeh push. Anyway I retired in 2015 and spent 12 of my 20 years at Lejeune. Anyway, Semper Fi. Our stories sound identical. During amd post military. It is hard getting out. You dont realize you will miss those things that we know as pains in the asses. Only difference is I did recruiting duty. I have worked for the Post Office for 6 years and it is hard being " nice" lol

    Lance Corporal! It's a fine rank! I've held it many times. My first Sgt. in Oki send a kid to CCU at Camp Hanson and those boys do not play. He was there for 3 months, and when he came back he was not right in the head. I got out in 94 and hazing was really bad. Especially in the field. I got out after one enlistment because the Marine Corps did look after me. I gave everything to them for the time I was in and they didn't do the same for me. No hard feelings, but I would probably would've stayed if they hadn't inflated the cutting score with people that had been out of my MOS for two years.

    It was an interesting interview. Nelson speaks with complete honesty. What he has been through before life in the Marines, during, including getting into trouble (shit happens to many of us, no one is perfect), and when he was forced out. The high divorce rate is a known fact. There are many in the Marines who do not possess those therapeutic and counseling skills and insights to even touch the base of divorce and other issues affecting Marines and their families. A great deal of the "unnecessary stresses" is caused by the Marine Corps. Why pretend this is not the case. Many Marines have alcohol dependency issues. Many have and many will get into some trouble while serving. I did my four years in the Marines, in the Infantry, and I seen a lot. I seen enough to know I was not staying in. I almost reenlisted but the paperwork was screwed up, and decided against staying in. The Marines don't need to change, why should they? The reality is sometimes certain leadership doesn't acknowledge problems because they don't know how to address the problems. The hazing in the Marines is pure bullshit. I never got hazed but heard about some of the stupidity that went on. One thing that hazing is not, is Normal. Nelson even said, people go overboard with hazing. An Army Vietnam veteran once quoted, "It was a million dollar experience and I wouldn't repeat it for a nickel." The Marine Corps has a lot to reform, especially with how certain personalities are formed, from good to something else. It takes time. It may happen.

    the BEST leaders the marine corps has are the shit bags. the best leaders i ever had had njps, duis, busted down to e1 you name it. one of my primary mentors and team leaders was looked down on by all of the higher ups but he was legit one of the most influential and best leaders i had the privilege of learning from and it shaped me into the leader i knew i needed to be, a lot of my peers were the heavy handed ass hole types and their boots feared them rather than respected them, my guys knew that i would suffer with them, do what i tell you to do but if you have questions ask, if you have problems, come talk to me, issues at home or back home, come talk to me, id rather stay up all night talking with you and keeping your head on striaght rather than have you go UA or go out and get a DUI or doing something stupid. i was medically retired due to injuires sustained on my first deployment and i have a lot of regret for not going on that 2nd pump with them, i have a lot of guilt about it but like everything else ive learned to accept it. i have a family now and kids and i try to be that leader and role model for them.
