In this episode, I sit down with retired General Joseph M. Martin, the 37th Vice Chief of Staff of the United States Army, to discuss his distinguished military career and personal life. A 1986 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, General Martin was commissioned as an armor officer and has held various leadership positions, including tank platoon leader, scout platoon leader, and company executive officer in the 1st Battalion, 37th Armor Regiment, 1st Armored Division.
We discuss how his commitment to serving those under his command has profoundly influenced his life, both during active duty and in retirement. General Martin also shares insights into balancing a demanding military career with family life, highlighting the support of his wife, Leann, and their journey together.
This is part one of a two-part series. In the next episode, we’ll gain Leann’s perspective on their shared experiences and the challenges and rewards of military family life.
