About this listen

Everyone’s got that one moment when they realized the military wasn’t quite what the recruiter made it sound like. For some, it was the first 0430 wake-up. For others — it was finding out how much “hurry up and wait” really means.

In this episode, we dive into the biggest shocks people had after joining the military — from the discipline, the culture, and the lifestyle changes, to the moments that made us say “nobody told me about this part.”

We’re talking about those real-life lessons that hit harder than basic training itself — the stuff you can’t learn from a brochure.

If you’ve ever served, are thinking about joining, or just want to understand what that first year in uniform really feels like — this episode’s for you.

Grab your coffee, or your rip-it, and let’s talk about what it’s really like once the contract ink dries.
