Today, I sit down with Mr. Brandon Sanders, host of The B Sando World podcast and a fellow U.S. Navy veteran. Mr. Sanders shares his story of serving aboard the USS Wayne E. Meyer as a Gunner’s Mate, offering raw and hilarious insight into the Navy life—from pre-commissioning a ship to staying on board 24/7, partying on paydays, and navigating a wild barracks setup with unexpected relationship drama. We dig into some of the funniest purchases and characters you’ll ever hear about from military life—including thousand-dollar swords, Nerf gun collections, and anime body pillows the length of an entire barracks room.
We swap stories about co-ed divisions, sexual tension in bootcamp, reckless spending, cranking in the galley, and the constant battle of cleaning inspections and unreasonable chiefs. Mr. Sanders shares his philosophy on military politics, how to avoid being a target, and why he chose to avoid getting married in the military despite the financial temptations. It’s a real talk session about everything from chain-of-command games to hygiene horror stories and creative ways guys handled life without female company.
We wrap the conversation with a look at life after service. Mr. Sanders is now a real estate agent, motivational coach in the tech industry, and a full-time traveler who pet sits across the globe. He talks about why he gave up the traditional American dream for a more adventurous lifestyle, shares investment opportunities abroad, and reveals his goal of growing The B Sandal World podcast into a full-time global platform.
