#355 Today's Boondoggle- from Corpsman to Showman with HM1 Shannon Book.

Did a DUI & Combat Trauma Lead to Music That Heals? 🇺🇸🎶In this episode of Today’s Boondoggle, Bill sits down with the powerful voice and soul of veteran musician *Shannon Book* — former Navy Combat Hospital Corpsman and frontman of the band **Vetted**. From humble beginnings playing saxophone in school to being grilled by a tough-as-nails Marine Gunnery Sgt at the recruiting office, Shannon’s journey is anything but ordinary. He shares wild memories of boot camp in San Diego during the Grunge era, jamming on the same coffee shop stage as Jewel, and the last DUI that sent him to veterans court but ultimately helped turn his life around.You’ll hear about the *Marine Corps Birthday chaos**, the formation of Vetted with combat-wounded veterans and a firefighter, and the raw, emotional story behind his song **“Let Me Fix Myself.”* It’s a candid and inspiring ride through trauma, service, music, and redemption. Whether you're a fan of military stories, raw honesty, or just some good rock 'n’ roll — this one hits deep.*How does one man go from combat zones and courtrooms to rocking stages and healing hearts with music?*👉 Today's Boondoggle fans can receive 10% off their orders at [dreemnutrition.com](https://dreemnutrition.com) by using the promo code *BOONDOG10* at checkout.👉 Today's Boondoggle fans can receive 10% off their orders at [TNT-Health.com](https://TNT-Health.com) by using the promo code *BOONDOGGLE* at checkout.👉 Enjoy our additional segments featuring music from the *Flo White Show* and **Stories from the VFW Hall**.👉 Please Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok.👉 Please subscribe to our YouTube, Rumble, Odysee, Brighteon, and Bitchute channels, and hit the notification button.
