Manage episode 432905900 series 3289749
On today's episode of Urban Valor, we interview Marine Veteran Matt Stack, who details his life from Miami, Florida, to Eden, North Carolina, and ultimately into the Marine Corps. Inspired by his sister's military career, Matt enlisted in hopes of becoming an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician (EOD). However, due to a recruiter's misinformation, his path led him to aviation ordnance instead.
Matt shares his perspective as an enlisted Marine during the 9/11 attacks on America, providing listeners with a firsthand account of this pivotal moment in history. He remembers his deployments to Guam and Kuwait, offering insights into the varied experiences of Marine Corps service.
The heart of this episode lies in Matt's perspective on the mental challenges veterans face when reintegrating into civilian society. Drawing from his personal experiences and the research behind his book Killing Chaos, Matt focuses on the often overlooked struggles that accompany post-service life.
This episode of Urban Valor offers an honest look at military service, the impact of global events on service members, and the ongoing battle many veterans face long after their official duties end. Tune in for a discussion on mental health and the crucial importance of understanding and supporting our veterans as they navigate life after service.
