This week I interview SSgt Quentin Brown who is a former Marine Fire Support Man and Joint Terminal Attack Controller. Quentin served with 5th ANGLICO, 11th Marines, 3rd LAR and Raider Battalion during his 8-year stint in the Marine Corps.
We discuss his time living in Okinawa and his multiple deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere. The realities of working with different personalities are brought to light and a surprising revelation is made in the last portion of the interview.
Quentin now lives in Ohio and works for three different fire departments and I look forward to our next interview.
