In this exclusive interview, I sit down with my Marine Corps drill instructor from MCRD to dive into the highs and lows of his incredible Marine Corps career. From hilarious boot camp stories to the intense realities of being a drill instructor, he shares it all. Learn about the challenges he faced on DI duty, the lessons he passed on to recruits, and the unforgettable moments that shaped his time in the Corps. Whether you're a Marine, aspiring to join, or just curious about life as a DI, this interview is full of insight, humor, and honest reflection.

Additionally, Daniel wanted to share some further words of inspiration; "One of my squad instructors at DI school would always tell us, "If not now, then when? If not me, then who?" it always stuck with me and gave me the extra push when I'd be struggling. Hopefully it'll give anyone that needs it the extra push like it did for me."
