265: Fuji Fire with Chas Henry

Listen here: https://buff.ly/O9vzIXF

This week, we welcome Chas Henry to the scuttlebutt. Chas is a retired Marine captain, renowned journalist, and author of the book Fuji Fire: Sifting Ashes of a Forgotten U.S. Marine Corps Tragedy. Fuji Fire details the complex series of natural and man-made circumstances that led to the 1979 Camp Fuji fire. Having served at Camp Fuji a mere eighteen months before the tragedy, Chas knew and served with survivors of the fire; Chas’ interest in uncovering the events of 1979 went beyond the intellectual. Chas talks to us about his path to the yellow footprints, his career in journalism, the genesis of this project, and the events that led up to the fire, and the implications this tragedy has not only on the Marine Corps but on U.S. international relations, particularly when it comes to emergency response.

Whose Island Is This? The decision is yours.

Congratulations to LtCol Timothy Gick, winner of the Marine Corps Gazette & The Bayonet Warfighting Society Tactical Decision Game (TDG) Contest!

In his winning TDG, “Whose Island Is This?”, Marines face a high-stakes, squad-level decision in the contested first island chain. With communications degraded, an uncertain enemy threat, and civilians seeking answers, a squad leader must balance mission success, operational security, and the safety of the local population.

You have three minutes to make the call. What would you do?

Answet the winning TDG in the comments and put your tactical decision-making skills to the test.Stay tuned! This TDG will soon be featured in the Marine Corps Gazette.

Ep 263: Literary Lethality Reviews Ender’s Game with Mac Caltrider

Listen Here: https://buff.ly/wx77U3m

This week, we bring another installment of our Literary Lethality series to the scuttlebutt. In this series, we dive deep into the Commandant’s Professional Reading List, exploring various titles and talking with authors about some of the books on the list. Today, we welcome Mac Caltrider back to the show. Mac talks to us about Orson Scott Card’s groundbreaking sci-fi novel, Ender’s Game. Ender’s Game is one of the longest-running titles on the CPRL, and it is a text used at Marine Corps officer entry-level training to introduce the complexities young officers will face in their careers. Mac helps us dive into the lessons of Ender’s Game, why he thinks it’s been such a staple of the CPRL, and how fiction can make many of life’s complexities accessible through narrative. It was great to hear Mac’s thoughts on the book and to get a deep dive into the literary arts from a literary artist.

Episode 262: Marine Corps 2025 Male Athlete of the Year

Listen Here: https://buff.ly/eIjfxv2

This week, we welcome Maj Kyle King to the scuttlebutt. Kyle is an artillery officer, former collegiate athlete, and winner of not one, not two, but three Marine Corps Marathons in 2022, 2024, and 2025. His first run through the tape made him the first active-duty Marine to win the men’s division in 39 years.

Along with these accomplishments, Kyle was named the Marine Corps 2025 Male Athlete of the Year. Kyle is currently stationed here at Quantico, so we talked him into crossing the tracks to have a little sit-down with us. Kyle tells us about growing up in the Pacific Northwest with aspirations of becoming a coastie, his early life as a collegiate runner, and shares with us his experiences running – and winning- the Marine Corps Marathon. A big heartfelt congratulations to Kyle for his wins and for being named Male Athlete of the Year.
