Like there's, you know, no matter what the situation is, I think a kid really wants, there's something, there's like so much compassion in a kid's heart and forgiveness that they're capable of, even in some of the darkest evil things that they can experience.

Yeah, it was just real chaotic where she just didn't have a stable job.

I think she ended up becoming a cashier at a gas station, and it was just really living check to check.

A lot of poverty, just, you know, we really had no money.

And then a lot of instability when it came to where we lived.
The Shawn Ryan Show
#263 Steve Bunting – Inside the World of MARSOC Medics and Real-World Combat Medicine
We're always kind of jumping around places, trying to find the next place to live, the next place to kind of harbor up.
The Shawn Ryan Show
#263 Steve Bunting – Inside the World of MARSOC Medics and Real-World Combat Medicine
It was just a lot of chaos in that regard.

#263 Steve Bunting – Inside the World of MARSOC Medics and Real-World Combat Medicine
just not knowing where the next meal is going to come from not knowing like you know how long we're going to be staying somewhere you know you never know when mom's going to come home and tell you we got to shove all our stuff in a trash bag and get out of there which seemed to be a routine for for a long time
