About this listen

 Reserve Element Podcast is a raw, honest, and deeply human show hosted by Joe Gelinas, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran. In each episode, Joe sits down with fellow veterans—many of whom served alongside him in the same unit—to talk about their experiences in the military, their time in combat, and the lives they've built after leaving the service.
These conversations go far beyond war stories. With unflinching openness, the podcast explores the emotional battles many veterans face after returning home, including the devastating impact of veteran suicide.
Through personal testimony, brotherhood, and a shared sense of duty, Joe and his guests offer powerful messages of strength, perseverance, and hope.
Whether you're a veteran, connected to one, or simply want to understand the human side of military service, Reserve Element Podcast delivers a heartfelt and often inspiring glimpse into life during and after the uniform.

    Of all the episodes I did of The Reserve Element, this one was the hardest to record. I talked about Marines who had served well but are no longer here.
    Originally I stopped this podcast after recording this particular episode. I'm putting it back out here now hoping that it reaches any of those that it needs to reach.
