The Bunkhouse: A Podcast Were Veterans Support Veterans
The hardest battles don't end when the uniform comes off.
The Bunkhouse is a podcast about veteran mental health and everything that comes after service: the rough transitions, the loss of purpose, the identity you have to rebuild, the things nobody says out loud. Host Jon spent 16 years in the Marine Corps as a Data Systems Engineering Officer, including three combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. His own transition was rough. He's seen what untreated struggle can do to a person and to a family, and he started this show so other veterans wouldn't have to figure it out alone.
Each episode brings honest, unrehearsed conversations with veterans doing the work of putting a life back together. Some episodes are about the low places. Some are about faith, family, career, and finding a tribe that shows up. All of them are judgment-free.

Jon originally started this podcast to share veterans’ stories and journeys in IT and Cybersecurity with some conversations around mental health. Then life happened (time, priorities, personal things) and had to step away. But during that time off, it became clear: these conversations are still needed. Maybe now more than ever.

The Bunkhouse is a place for real, honest conversations about the battles we fight after service—the ones most people never see.
On this show, the host sits down with veterans from all branches and backgrounds to talk about the stuff we usually keep to ourselves:
- the anxiety that shows up out of nowhere
- the nights you can’t sleep
- the anger you don’t know how to explain
- the guilt you don’t talk about
- the moments when you wonder if anyone really gets it.
You’ll hear stories of transition, of hitting rock bottom and slowly climbing back, of therapy and resistance to therapy, of the tools, people, and moments that helped.
