From Marine to Army CSM | 30 Years of War, Leadership & Transition | Echoes Unfiltered

This one hits different.

Jerry Heim, the voice behind Blue Cord CSM, joins me to talk about a 30-year career spanning the Marine Corps and Army — from early days as a young infantryman to retiring as a Sergeant Major at West Point.

We get into:

Why he left the Marines… and walked straight into the Army
The reality of the Iraq invasion and early combat
Watching the evolution from soft-skin vehicles to MRAPs
What leadership really looks like under fire
Why some of the best warfighters struggle the most at home
And the truth about transition, identity, and asking for help

This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s the real story.

If you’ve ever worn the uniform, this one’s going to hit home.
