12. Semper Fidelis: Talking Career Progression with BGen John Baker, USMC (Retired) and LtCol Rob "Butch" Bracknell, USMC (Retired) (PART ONE)

Proving once again that timing is everything in life, the launch of "After the JAG Corps" occurred just as BGen Baker was retiring from the Marine Corps.  Seeing a comment about the podcast on LinkedIn, General Baker and LtCol Bracknell volunteered to sit down for a virtual conversation about their recent and not-so-recent experiences, offer insights, and "play it forward" to future retiring and separating judge advocates.  The result was a free-flowing conversation that lasted about one hour.  Accordingly, this podcast is being released in two parts with the second half of this conversation being released next week (4/2/2022).  BGen Baker's LinkedIn profile can be accessed here while Butch Bracknell's profile can be found here. This conversation was recorded February 11, 2022.
