    Choices Not Chances Podcast

    The Choices Not Chances Podcast came about after the release of Ryan Rogers’s new book, “Lions of Marjah”. The Podcast is a veteran-oriented work, focusing on interviews of not only combat veterans but the families and lives they lead transitioning from combat. We will feature veteran aid of all types and consistently plug new therapies, as well as make an effort to bridge the civilian/military divide. The warfighting experience comes with many changes, some tolerable, others not as much. Semper Fi!
