Street Tales

This episode is a compilation of some of the military veterans that have been guests on the Street Tales Podcast and provides highlights to some of their experiences and stories. We explore the overlap between military and law enforcement culture—why many Marines become cops, how infantry experience translates to intelligence and federal work, and the challenges of interagency cooperation. Guests talk training philosophies, tactical medicine, and adapting to civilian roles. They also share candid stories about family, faith, mental health, retirement, and finding new purpose after service. This episode does not capture all of the military veterans that have been on the Street Tales Podcast as quite a few were on during our audio days, and we are excited and working to have them back on!  To contact us, get your copy of Street Tales Volume One, shop the Street Tales Network Apparel (all proceeds go to Blue Cancer Connect), and gain access to all the podcast shows on our network, please go to: https://www.streettalesnetwork.com/ #podcast #police #trending #youtube #Viral #Trending #FYP #Tips #books #livingblue #bluecancerconnect #booktok #youtubeshorts #shorts #entrepreneurship #tips
