#205: MDM 2025 – MCWL Sergeant Major, SgtMaj Christopher Singley

Hey, Scuttlebutt listeners. Thank you for joining us and your continued support. This week, we continue with our audio-only Modern Day Marine 2025 series. As with the previous MDMs, we were recording from the showroom floor, but as some of you know, this year we recorded some on video for our YouTube channel and others we recorded as audio-only podcasts. For the next few weeks, we will be releasing these audio-only conversations that range from veteran support organizations to future ops and wargaming to Toys for Tots. We’re really looking forward to sharing these conversations with you.   This week’s episode features the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab’s Sergeant Major, SgtMaj Christopher Singley. SgtMaj Singley joins us after having presented at the Warfighting Pavilion on Day 2 of Modern Day Marine, speaking on the 30 years of innovation at the Warfighting Lab. SgtMaj talks to us more about that, and he gives us some history on the Warfighting Lab and the genesis of its mission, his thoughts on the value of experimentation, and MCWL’s role in the projection and implementation of Force Design.   Enjoy!
