WEBVTT - Veterans You Should Know Is Back for Season 2

0:00:02.600 --> 0:00:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Hey, it's Rob Wriggle. You may know me from my

0:00:05.360 --> 0:00:08.640
<v Speaker 1>work on shows like Modern Family, The Daily Show, or

0:00:08.680 --> 0:00:12.520
<v Speaker 1>movies like The Hangover, Step Brothers, or One Jump Street.

0:00:12.840 --> 0:00:15.320
<v Speaker 1>But what you might not know is that before I

0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:18.000
<v Speaker 1>decided to pursue a career in Hollywood, I was a

0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:22.360
<v Speaker 1>United States Marine Corps officer for twenty three years. It

0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:24.360
<v Speaker 1>was during my years of service that I found the

0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:26.920
<v Speaker 1>courage and the confidence to take a leap of faith

0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:29.720
<v Speaker 1>into the entertainment industry. And I can proudly thank the

0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:32.600
<v Speaker 1>military for shaping me into the person that I am today.

0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:35.760
<v Speaker 1>That's why I'm so excited to be hosting season two

0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:40.520
<v Speaker 1>of Veterans. You should know each episode, I'll be sitting

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:43.360
<v Speaker 1>down with those who proudly served in the Armed Forces

0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:47.720
<v Speaker 1>to hear about the lessons they've learned, the obstacles they've overcome,

0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 1>and the life changing impact of their service. And I

0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:53.479
<v Speaker 1>remember thinking, what are the chances and I E d

0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:55.600
<v Speaker 1>S been here so long that grass is grown on

0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 1>top of it. And that's exactly what happened. There was

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:01.240
<v Speaker 1>a pressure plate buried underneath where grass grown over, and

0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:03.880
<v Speaker 1>that's the one I stepped on when she realized you

0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 1>could speak Dorrin, she'd take that broke off and you

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:10.360
<v Speaker 1>just have to brace for impact because it might be

0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 1>an eye gouged out, it might be an ear cut off.

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Through this four parts series, we'll hear the inspiring journeys

0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:19.679
<v Speaker 1>of these veterans and how they took those values during

0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:23.000
<v Speaker 1>their time of service and applied them to transition out

0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 1>of the military and into civilian life. One of my

0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 1>marines introduced me to a marine who was stationed in

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Okinawa who was a music producer, and I ended up

0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:35.160
<v Speaker 1>recording an entire album while I was in Japan. I

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 1>totally treated like it was the military, so I broke

0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 1>it down and end up graduating in just two years,

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.000
<v Speaker 1>get that four year degree done in two years, thankfully

0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:45.679
<v Speaker 1>graduating with honors, I think because it was just so focused.

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:49.880
