Ever wonder what it's like to walk off the bus for boot camp?

Everyone who joins The U.S. Marine Corps goes through the exact same training. Whether your journey takes you by way of Parris Island or MCRD San Diego, your first encounter once off the bus has you standing on those Yellow Footprints.

Our special guest for this episode is Tim Rilley, who is a veteran of The U.S. Marine Corps, and author of The Yellow Footprints. Tim not only brings us through his experience in transforming from a civilian to a Marine, but what it was really like getting drafted during the Vietnam War.
