#255: Semper Read with 2ndLt Steven Ramirez

Hey, Scuttlebutt listeners. Thank you for joining us and for your continued support. This week, we welcome 2ndLt Steven Ramirez to the scuttlebutt. Steven is a prior-enlisted officer currently a student at The Basic School. But more than anything, he’s a reader. Steven started the Semper Read Instagram page to share his love of books beyond just his fellow Marines at his unit. What started as just a small social media page ended up being followed by the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps. His origin story begins with him watching the attacks of 9/11 from across the Hudson River as a kid, to then stepping on the yellow footprints of the PI, to now having coming over to the dark side to become an officer. Steven talks to us about Semper Read, the joy he gets from sharing his passion for reading, and what he hopes his efforts will have on his fellow Marines, both personally and professionally. 

Enjoy!
