About this listen

From Camp Lejeune, Camp Pendleton to Kuwait and back to Camp Pendleton, Alex Mendoza reflects on the highs and lows of his Marine Corps journey. In this installment, we dive into his post-boot camp transition, adapting to new environments, dealing with homesickness, and navigating the cultural shock of military life far from home. Alex also shares leadership lessons learned the hard way, including the lasting impact of a senior Marine—a moment that would forever shape his understanding of integrity and trust.

This episode captures the complexity of service: the disillusionment, the growth, and the resolve it takes to move forward.


Gunny Moon returns as guest collaborator.
