What was said
"But they uh at the end so they pulled me aside. They didn't let me into Mars. And uh you know the the battalion commander pulled me out and he was like, "My exo tells me all this stuff is legit. You probably knew about it from the Netflix documentary.""
The guest recounts being held back from joining Marine special operations (MARSOC) after assessment and selection, saying instructors suspected he had “cheated” because he knew details of the course from a documentary. He says senior enlisted staff did not trust him, and that he feared being labelled an integrity violator and forced out of the Marine Corps before being redirected to 1st Reconnaissance Battalion instead.
