Website is very informative and user friendly. Glad to see we have a forum here for our military family. Let me know if I can help!
Fantastic website! Visually appealing, streamlined platform and a wealth of information and knowledge easily accessible. Keep up the amazing work!
SSGT Nichols, it was truly a pleasure working with you on VET Tv. Meeting you in person and collaborating on this project was an honor. Your dedication and insight added a lot to the experience, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to have worked alongside someone as passionate and professional as you. Looking forward to more opportunities to work together in the future! SSGT Franchi Luis
SSgt Mike Nichols continues to be a tremendous advocate for Veterans. His passion for hearing and helping others is amazing. I have personally seen him help numerous Veterans by going above and beyond to sacrifice his time to work with others. Whenever I have any questions about life, benefits, or general Veteran information, Mike is always one of my first “go-to” resources. He personally helped me understand the VA claim process and how to best articulate when I filed, increased, and appealed.
Let’s go SSGT Nichols! I love the new design. Appreciate all that you are doing for the veteran community.
Excellent website! Thank you for what you are doing to help veterans, those that are serving, and those thinking about serving.
I can honestly tell you, that having met one Ssgt Mike Nichols, I would expect nothing more then exemplary presence and steadfast dedication to any cause he puts his mind to!!! The new website and his persistent motivation fires me up, and I’m beyond grateful having met the man, and I look forward to continuous opportunities with him in the near and distant future!!! Semper Fi, Devil!!! God Bless!!!

Ssgt Nichols, my son is currently in SOI/ITB as a 0311 with a MSG contract, it’s hard as an only parent, (mom passed away 2 years ago) seeing him transition into a Marine but the proudest moment of my life, seeing him accomplish and enjoy his Marine career, Thank you for your support of those before him, him, and those after. I’ve watched a lot of your training videos when you were a DI and it put my mind at ease seeing your professionalism and passion in training these young men. It put my mind at ease as he does not come from a military family. What I try to preach to new Marine families is that you guys are professionals and Marines take care of their own, I appreciate what you did and are doing. I did not understand what the Marine Corps was about as a citizen before but have an unmatching respect now, I will parents understand how great you and your Marine brothers are. Thank you.

Greetings SSgt Nichols,
I wanted to reach out and tell you how much I enjoyed your broadcast with Recruit Ruiz.
Not that you need to do a podcast with. But, I would love to share my story with you sometime , and you could share with others
My boot camp experience, was probably near the same as others. I was actually looking forward to service in The Corps, it all changed for me when we got orders for MOS school.
It deflated me and I couldn’t wait to get out; I only had 3 yrs and 9 months to go.
I hated the school, and I hated the MOS (7222 Radar Operator/Fire Control Crewman IHAWK Missile System. I wanted to be a Crash Crew person.
So, I go to my duty station, and I was less than a stellar Marine and that’s putting it mildly.
But, I was likeable enough and got along well with most.
Well, I was married, lived in base housing, and was on a volunteer fire department. That association with volunteer fire department, allowed interaction with MCAS Cherry Point Air Station Fire Department. Thus, it led into a 28 yr DOD civil service career, I retired 12 yrs.
I now work as a 911 call taker and dispatcher for a County Sheriff’s Office and I pastor 2 Lutheran Churches.
But, here’s the great USMC side, for some reason I formed the reunion for old unit at the encouraging of our former CO. I am still dumbfounded that he put this in my hand.
I do a regular group email, our roster is 100+ (counting spouses) and we have had 4 Alpha Battery Reunions since 2011. Our most recent was in June 2024 and we had 80 folks present.
What the USMC should have meant to me when I served, though it didn’t then, it now does. I wish I would have understood then what I now understand and value enormously.
I am honored to wear the title…..Marine
Semper Fi,
