About this listen
The military is full of advice, some of it life-changing… and some of it absolutely useless.
In this episode, we break down the worst military advice service members were ever given, the kind that was meant to be helpful but only made things harder, more confusing, or straight-up hilarious. From bad career guidance and leadership “wisdom” to barracks myths and field-proven nonsense, we cover the advice that didn’t age well.
Veterans and current service members share the tips they followed once and never again. Expect real stories, honest laughs, and plenty of “why did anyone think that was a good idea?” moments that every branch can relate to.
If you’ve ever been told “trust the process” with no explanation, or followed advice that made things worse instead of better, this episode will feel way too familiar.
