Chat 62 Podcast

Created by Marine Corps veterans for Marine Corps veterans.
Chat 62 is a long-form, no-BS podcast where we sit down with Marines and other service members to talk about the before, during, and after of military life. These are real stories—boot camp memories, fleet life, deployments, the transition home, mental health battles, and the victories that come from staying in the fight.
Hosted by Erik Monarca & at times, a rotating co-chair, Chat 62 started as a place for Marines from the old 62 Area/Camp San Mateo days to reconnect. Today, it’s a home for all veterans who want to share where they’ve been, what they’ve learned, and how they’re still pushing forward.

We highlight the humor, the trauma, the pride, and the resilience that define the veteran community. Every episode is a chance to hear a story that might sound a lot like your own.

If you’re a veteran looking to reconnect, to be heard, or to get inspired—you’re in the right place.

Your Story Matters, Semper Fi.
