In Theater Ryan Fadden

Today we chat with Eric Herrera, a former combat engineer primarily engaged in route clearance missions.

Part 2 of my Conversation with Rachelle
 
 
Today’s guest popped out to me on Instagram. It was a picture of her using the HIIDE system, which is something I discussed in a previous episode with Jacob Krupp. On one of her blogs, she describes herself much better than I could, so I will read from that. 
 
Quote: "I am the proud author of two blogs - my personal (you are here now) and a Female Marine representative for The Enlisted Club (theenlistedclub.com).
 
I guess if you summarize me you could say that I am a mother, full-time businesswoman and Marine Corps Veteran (3531) that loves writing, sarcasm, cold microbrews, literature, cooking, and crafting.
 
I am not a representative of ALL Female Marines, but I am hoping to be the one that helps create a community for ALL women.” End quote 
 
We had a great conversation that will be divided into multiple parts. I love chatting with creative veterans. In this episode, we’ll be getting to know her a little better, and supplying context for the consecutive parts. Today we’re talking with Rachelle.

Today’s guest was in the Army for 26 years and had multiple deployments, including a deployment in support of Operation Desert Storm. During his time in service, he spent time as a combat medic and a recruiter. He retired from active duty in 2016. He currently resides in Paducah, Kentucky, where on April 22, 2018, he founded Project Diehard, whose stated goal is “To bring public awareness to veteran suicide and to assist veterans in coping with the stress and difficulties in transitioning from active duty military to civilian life.” Today we’re chatting with Brian Gibson.
 

Part 3
Today’s guest was an infantryman in the 2nd Infantry Regiment, which, at the time of his deployment was in the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division. He deployed to Fob Anbar in Ghazni Province, Afghanistan. We recorded this episode in the comfort of my kitchen while drinking beer and whiskey. Testosterone was high my friends. The stories were flowing. This is the third episode of a three-part series.
