This week on Urban Valor, we chat with Sergeant Major Alex Caro. Alex's journey began in Brooklyn, NY, where he overcame the challenges of gang-dominated streets and avoiding the gang lifestyle. His inspiration to join the Marines came from when he joined the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC). In his military career, Alex started with an open contract, assigned to be a Inventory Management Specialist. He has served in critical deployments across Iraq, Afghanistan, and as a Marine Security Guard. At the time of this interview, Alex was a First Sergeant, now proudly holding the position of Sergeant Major. Alex's episode focuses on the importance of military transition programs, offering insights for those following a similar path. Do NOT miss this New Episode of Urban Valor! ????????

Served under this man when he was a brand new Gunny, outstanding guy and didn’t take no BS towards himself or the Marines entrusted to his care, solid as hell.

Deployed with him during R4OG, I was a brand new Lance Corporal my Sergeants treated me like trash but since I was working in a different MMF Van I got to work with Sergeant Caro, Gunny Hernandez and Sergeant Thomas and they treated me like one of there own Lance Corporals and till today I'm proud that I got too serve with them... Sergeant Major Caro has a dope ass ring to it...words can't honestly express how glad I am to know that the future of the Marine Corps has him to lead

I was one deck below you at boot camp. Platoon 1081. I remember you. Your senior had gold jump wings and was meaner than a rattle snake. Happy to see you succeeding

@54:13 I am just hearing about this topic now (The DOD SkillBridge program is an opportunity for service members to gain valuable civilian work experience through specific industry training, apprenticeships, or internships during the last 180 days of service.) Thank you kindly Sergeant Major Alex Caro to mention this.
