Led by U.S. Marine Corps retired Sgt. Maj. Frank E. Pulley, Marine Corps Association West Coast Area Representative, the course focused on developing project management and planning skills while reinforcing the vital link between disciplined standards, deliberate planning, and the achievement of lethal warfighting excellence. MCA is glad to support opportunities like this that strengthen professional growth and operational readiness across the force.

#222: Zone Rouge with Michael Jerome Plunkett

This week on we talk to Michael. He is a former machine gunner, EMT, co-founder, and executive director of the Literature of War Foundation, as well as the host of The LitWar Podcast. He was also a Virginia Center for the Creative Arts Fellow in 2021, was a scholar in the 2024 Stand-To Veteran Leadership Program at the George W. Bush Presidential Center and was a 2025 resident in the Edith Wharton Writing Residency. He also led the PB Abbate Book Club for veterans. And if that wasn’t enough, he is the author of the amazing book, Zone Rouge, which was published in September of this year and has received high praise for his beautiful prose.

Michael talks to us about his journey from a teenager in New York during 9/11, to stepping on the yellow footprints, to becoming an author. This was such a fun conversation and we totally nerd out on the beauty of good writing and the value veterans bring to the art. We have to get him back on, but we hope you enjoy this episode as much as we do.

Scuttlebutt Episode 221: Toys for Tots with Gunnar Spafford

One of Toys for Tots’ slogans is, “It’s more than just a toy.” Gunnar talks to us about the ways that a toy is so much more than just a toy, Toys for Tots year-round and disaster-relief initiatives, and ways for both individuals and corporations to give. We can’t emphasize enough what an amazing charity organization Toys for Tots is, and we're happy that Gunnar was able to carve out some time during this busy season to come hang out with us to get the word out about Toys for Tots.
