If you're tired of feeling stuck and ready to tap back into the person you used to be (and still are)—this one's for you.

In a world that sometimes feels like it’s lost its damn mind, this episode is a reminder that gratitude and patriotism aren’t dead — not even close.

Pacho shares personal stories from recent encounters where civilians showed real appreciation for military service. From wearing the uniform again at the Marine Corps Ball to feeling the gap between the younger generation of Marines, it’s a raw, reflective look at what it means to still walk proud as a veteran in today’s world.

We get honest about how it feels like people forget, but the truth? The silent majority still cares. And in those quiet, powerful moments — a handshake, a “thank you,” a respectful nod — you remember why you raised your hand in the first place.

This isn’t about politics. It’s about people. Tune in, reflect, and don’t forget who the hell you are.

Last week, I threw on the uniform — yeah, I still fit in it — and headed to the Marine Corps Ball. What hit me wasn’t just the pride of wearing those blues again, but the realization that time keeps marching on... fast. In this episode, I talk about the bond that never breaks, even when the hair grays and the flagpole feels a little farther away. From the traditions that remain unchanged to the new generation of Marines who are holding the line, I share what it means to age as a warrior, to feel like the “old guy in the room,” and to still stand tall in the legacy we built.

This one’s for every Devil Dog who still feels that fire inside — even if the knees creak louder than your boots these days.

This one is for the warriors. The vets who were once in peak condition — disciplined, deadly, dependable.

But now? Age, injuries, and life are stacking up. The uniform doesn’t fit the same. The body doesn’t respond like it used to.

This episode isn’t about shame — it’s about reclaiming your fire.

We talk physical adaptation, mental recalibration, and remembering who the hell you used to be.

Stay in the fight.

I threw the uniform back on for this one (and yes, it still fits).

Kicking off the 250th Marine Corps Birthday the way it should be—reading Gen. Lejeune’s birthday message and celebrating two and a half centuries of warfighting, warrior culture, and unmatched brotherhood.

Short. Funny. Real. And straight from the soul of the Corps.

Happy Birthday, Devil Dogs. Semper Fi.

In this episode, we take on Pete Hegseth’s call to reclaim leadership by returning to basics. Too many “leaders” today are soft in body, soft in decision-making, and soft on standards.

Leadership is not about comfort. It’s about service. It’s about showing up even when your own tank is empty.

We unpack what weak leadership looks like, how fitness is part of credibility, and the practical steps for veterans and leaders to turn that around—starting with themselves.

If you’re tired of watching standards slip, join me on The Field Op.
