Summary
In this powerful episode of Game of Crimes, host and retired DEA Special Agent Steve Murphy sits down with Mary Howe — an eight-year U.S. Air Force veteran who nearly lost herself before the military gave her the structure that saved her life. From growing up in the shadow of America's most elite special operations unit to becoming a military veteran herself, to transitioning to a family nurse practitioner and mental health advocate, Mary's story is one of resilience, service, and legacy.
This isn't just a military story — it's a story about what happens when service runs in your blood.
