Scuttlebutt Ep 162: Running Toward Fire with Nate Boaz

Hey, Scuttlebutt listeners. Thank you for joining us and your continued support. This week we welcome Nate Boaz and his wife, Martha Contreras on the show. Nate is a veteran Marine human intel officer, the chairman of the board of directors for Patrol Base Abbate, and the author of the book, Running Toward Fire: Following the Warrior Path. Nate and Marta talk to us about his journey to and in the Marine Corps, the purpose and intent behind the writing of this book, how necessary it is for veterans to find their sense of purpose and community again, and how veteran support organizations like PB Abbate help. Also, this is Suicide Prevention Month, and specifically, this is National Suicide Prevention Week, so this conversation is not only timely but the stories that Nate and Marta share are moving.

Thank you for joining us in this important conversation.

Hey, Scuttlebutt listeners. Thank you for joining us and your continued support. This week we welcome  Sarah Kallassy to the scuttlebutt. Sarah is a veteran Marine linguist and host of the Veterans Affairs YouTube show, BLUF, where she gives you all of the up-to-date information going on with the VA. Sarah is so kind to spend some time with us sharing her fascinating story. The daughter of a Marine Silver Star recipient from WWII, we talk about what brought her to the gun club, through to graduate school, work with DC United, and ultimately the VA.
