Episode 24 highlights Marine Cryptologic Support Battalion\\u2019s Senior Enlisted, MGySgt Leon Ransom, Jr., a single father currently preparing his family for assignment overseas in Okinawa, Japan. In the course of the interview, MGuns highlights the dangers of Retirement On Active Duty (ROAD), key considerations to bring to bear when a Marine engages with the monitor, and the significance of advocacy and proponency.

Fundamental takeaways include the value of leveraging executive championship, extending your sphere of influence, as well as scrupulous navigation through the human terrain at the upper echelons of the enlisted ranks.

MGuns later goes on to disclose the underlying motivation behind his outreach to at-risk youth. It is predicated on his desire to give back to the role models who were there to guide him along the way. A central component to his message is the interdependency between family readiness and national security. In his words, \\u201cFamily is the basis of all things.\\u201d My translation of that would be, \\u201cLa familia es todo.\\u201d
