About Post One: True stories from Marine Embassy Guards

Marine Embassy Guards serve in some of the most remote and politically volatile places on earth, often alone, unseen, and far from home. Post One is a storytelling podcast that brings their experiences to life. Each episode features candid conversations with Marines who stood watch at U.S. embassies and consulates around the world, saving lives, safeguarding secrets, and navigating cultures most Americans will never see. From tense standoffs and high-stakes evacuations to quiet moments of connection, these are the unfiltered stories of Marines serving on the front lines of American diplomacy.

Um, you get to deal with a government institution whose culture is almost opposite what the Marine culture is. That's department of state. Um, you know, you as, you know, as Marines, you're dealing with protection, defense, uh, assault, if you need to, um, discipline, um, not social by the book. […]
