Love the new website SSgt Nichols…
The design is AWESOME. I love it. I wouldn’t change anything. Your message to the audience is very clear and straight to the point.
Thank you, Sgt.Nichols, for your service. Your work since your Marine Corps service has been exceptional! Many people have benefited from your experience and expertise. Myself included. This website is fantastic!

This is an awesome platform to prepare ourselves for the greatness that lies within. Thank you SSgt Nichols for keeping us joined together past, present and future!
Love this, excellent idea for Vets!
This is a well organized web site that is full of valuable information. SSgt Nichols not only gives insight on aspects of military life, but uses his expertise to provide foundation information to help you regardless of where you are in your journey. Bravo Zulu!!!
This page has so much good information! Thank you for all the help, SSGT!
Coolest drill instructor ever!
Truly, you are an inspiration Mike always looking for a way to help. I have been so touched by how you are always jumping in and start with a can do attitude!
As I was Transitioning one of my biggest fears was VA Disability Compensation and exactly what I needed to do to ensure all my service connected medical and mental health conditions were captured. Throughout my career the common discussion amongst those Services Members was ensure you document any and all medical conditions, however no one ever discussed how and what the VA is looking for when deciding if your condition rates a compensation percentage or how an injury can be connected with other conditions throughout your body. The information that You Share and provide empowers the Service member (Past, Present, & Future) to understand how the VA evaluates you and educates the Service Member on exactly how to communicate and document their medical concerns conditions. Thanks SSgt Nichols…

My name is David A. Nichols. I am a Marine no longer on active duty. Like you, I was a SSgt., a Drill Instructor at San Diego from 1985-1988 and screened and evaluated officer candidates at OCS, Co. C, from 1991-1993. Some of my Marine brothers have mentioned your website and so I decided to take a look. It’s very impressive and I commend you for your continued service to our Marines and veterans. My father’s family are from the Winnsboro area in Franklin Parish. We might be related! Semper Fi Brother! David A.

I want to thank you Nichols, first of all for taking me under your wing as a PFC in Iwakuni and withe the help of Batman and Flipper showing me what it took to be an outstanding Marine. You guys were part of my foundation that set me up for success during and after the military. Also, thanks to your guidance I was able to get my disability to %100. Va had previously denied my because I was ignorant to the process. But again with your help I was able to rectify the issues and after 20 +yrs of battling with my demons, I am now able to get the help I needed. Keep up the great work and THANK YOU, for all you do!

Hey man as an Air Force Veteran. I enjoyed what I watch with what you said on YouTube. Semper Fi brother. Even if what I said was Defensor Fortis. Keep up what you are doing for us. No matter the branch of service.
