Damn Colin this was heavy. I feel you tho. I’m guilty of bottling things up in my own regard.. Combat and the Marine Corps changed me as a person. I’ve struggled with alcoholism, PTSD, losing close friends, family life, depression, anxiety.… When we arbitrarily pulled out of Afghanistan and it was eventually handed back over to the Taliban I went into a downward spiral. It wasn’t until recently where I started taking responsibility for my life and changing it for the better. I just wanted to say I enjoyed this podcast in its entirety and if anything just know you made my day that much better. Rah. “I miss the clowns, but I don’t miss the circus.”

Happy to hear that you resonated with my message. Tired of watching people just loose all control and spiral into dark places from things that often don't even get the time to process before we have to move to the next. Everyone experiences different things, but it's wild to me how little we try to voice where we are/were struggling in our lives. It took a lot for me to finally get over myself in the destructive way I was, to really start to see that I didn't want a life defined by my hardest moments. We're all loved brother! We just got to make sure we don't lose sight of it.

I am so very sorry to hear about your mother's diagnoses. My girlfriend of seven years, the most important person in my life now, is a survivor of a lower grade astrocytoma. She nearly died at age 14 when the tumor was discovered, but by God's grace was able to recover and survive. She is 30 years old now, but must have MRI's performed frequently to monitor what could not be removed during surgery. It is scary and stressful to think about. Best of luck to you and your mother and family. God Bless.

I was very similar in highschool to Colin. I got bad grades and many thought it was because I was stupid or apathy but it was more so because the classes didn’t challenge or interest me. It boggles my mind that some kids will go 2-3-even 4 years in college doing gen eds without deciding a major. Ever since I took an airplane ride when I was 10 and was able to take controls so I got the bug hard. I knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. It was even to the point I was reading my aviation books in highschool instead of my classwork. I was “pulled out of the water” as drew said during psych 101 when one of the first things my professor said was we didn’t know how to learn or study. I was intrigued and dove deep into how all the way up to highschool they had you the books, tell you to study, and take the tests but not actually how to retain the material. Just goes to show sometimes you don’t even break ground for a dozen years in the public school system.

I've watched all, but one, of your podcasts, and this one was my favorite and simultaneously the easiest and more difficult to watch because I got chocked up during some of Collin's experiences, because I too struggled with many similar experiences. I sometimes forget how far I've come, and Collin's story reminded me of my personal growth. I'm so glad I am no longer that angry, broken and unhappy person I used to be. Do I still struggle with it at times? Yes, and I probably always will to some degree. But the end goal, and the "why" behind what we want far surpasses the weight of what is trying to pull us down, and the only way we can get pulled down is if we stop swimming. Please, Never Stop Swimming. Thank you Collin for your willingness to be so open about your journey. ❤❤

I was a 0331 in the same unit you went to I got in right about the time you got out. I loved my job the guys around me was a squad leader for the last two years couldn’t make my third deployment so they offered to fap me over to AIC so i could stay with the infantry in some way. A week before they pulled me into the company office my new first sergeant told me I needed to sign PMO paperwork I didn’t want to do it I was completely against it so he basically threatened to make my life suck if I didn’t and told me to take it up with the fap coordinator which is a fake position. Found my old first sergeant told him what had happened he was pissed but he couldn’t really help me. I hate every second of PMO not to say anything about your experience the chain of command was complete buddy fuckers and I went from almost reenlisting to wanting absolutely nothing to do with the corps at that point it’s crazy how the chain of commands change over and over again over time my first chain of command as a boot was complete trash but my second was full of some of the best leaders I’ve ever had around me honestly that crazy flux of good and bad leadership is why I got out you never know what your next unit or two years will look like and it’ll drive you mad.
