Support doesn’t always wear a uniform. Sometimes, it walks by with a warm smile and a listening ear. Learn how a military and family life counselor offers just that — approachable, everyday support through “walk-around counseling” that breaks down barriers and builds trust with service members where they are.

In this episode, host Bruce Moody speaks with MFLC Raymond Hewitt, who serves at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida. Hewitt shares real stories from his work supporting not only single service members but the entire military community, helping them navigate stress, loneliness and the daily challenges of military life through simple, meaningful conversations.

Hear how MFLCs like Raymond help redefine the idea of “family” in the military and why their steady, judgment-free presence makes all the difference.
