The change for U.S. Marine Matthew Callahan came when he "snapped" his leg.
It was his first deployment to Afghanistan with 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment. He was an "assaultman," a Marine specialized in assaulting hardened positions.
He was sent to the Wounded Warrior Battalion to recover, where he picked up a camera and started On-The-Job Training (OJT) to be a combat correspondent.
"I feel being a former infantryman gives me a better perspective and will serve me well in telling the stories of Marines from the ground combat element especially. Civilians have a genuine interest in knowing about the ins and outs of Marine life and I have a genuine desire to tell them. It's incredibly satisfying and a wicked good time," Callahan told Business Insider.
He must be having fun, because in our opinion his Instagram feed — bridgingthegap__ — is one of the most fascinating in the military.
