Deployment stories are usually pretty profound. A lot are about self-transformation or enlightenment. Others are about things that push our moral or politically correct boundaries, like violence and cultural conflict. However, many stories involve the mundane - like spending days reading off and verifying the serial numbers of sensitive items, or querying the people on your base as to why there are no toilets inside Afghan portapotties. What makes this podcast interesting is that the stories aren’t filtered - they’re told from the people who experienced them.
