Ep. 031 - SSgt Cameron Langland

Published: Feb. 20, 2020, 8:30 a.m.

Cameron is a former Reconnaissance Marine that deployed with me in 2014 and is currently a world traveler continuing on a three year adventure in his RV that has taken him all across our country and to every country south of the border.

We dive into what it was like for Cameron to attend one of the hardest schools in the Marine Corps, Basic Reconnaissance Course (BRC), and he breaks down different segments of training that Recon Marines undertake throughout their careers.

Following that, Cameron explains why traveling for the last three years has given him a unique appreciation for life and assisted in his transition from the United States Marine Corps. Obviously this was a great show and I really appreciate Cameron coming on and telling his unique story to the world.
