SE6 #232 Brett Schaal-Iraq War Veteran-Fallujah-Marine Corps

Incredible Podcast with my friend Brett Schaal. Brett served 8 years in the Marines. He did 2 tours in Iraq and was in the first fight for Fallujah and was there for the Flour Factory incident. He served with 2/7 Marines. He share his upbrining and path into the Marines and transition. Brett and I went to UW- Whitewater together and sat next to each other in English class. Brett is one of the most humble and hard working friends I know. He’s not one to boast about his service so I am doing it for him. He also recently bought a Traeger!
