Oscar Mike Radio

Hosted by Marine Corp Veteran Travis Partington

I served in the Marine Corps in the late 1990s. After completing my service and moving forward with life, I became involved with several local veteran organizations. Through that experience, I realized just how many powerful stories and important efforts are happening within the veteran community — stories that deserve to be heard.

For active-duty service members, veterans, and civilians alike, I envisioned a place where people could connect, share ideas, and support one another. After exploring different approaches, I decided that a podcast and internet radio format would be the most effective way to spread that message.

To everyone who has supported this mission so far — thank you, and Semper Fidelis.

How it all

Started

THE STORY BEHIND OSCAR MIKE RADIO

Oscar Mike Radio began in 2016 when Travis Partington, a United States Marine Corps veteran, recognized the need for a place where military and veteran stories could be shared openly and honestly. What started as a personal effort to highlight real experiences quickly grew into a dedicated mission.

From the very first episode, the vision was clear: give a voice to those whose stories often go untold and create a platform built on authenticity, respect, and connection.

A HOME FOR VETERANS, FAMILIES & SUPPORTERS

Oscar Mike Radio was created for the entire military community — not just those who served, but also the families, caregivers, advocates, and organizations who stand beside them.

The show features stories of deployment, transition, loss, triumph, advocacy, and continued purpose. Whether it’s a veteran rediscovering their path, a spouse sharing life behind the scenes, or a nonprofit lifting the community up, every voice has a place here.

This is where conversations become connection, and where the broader story of military life is honored.
