What happens when a skinny, out-of-shape, closeted gay kid from New Orleans hears “summer” and “camp” and ends up enlisting in the Marine Corps—right when being gay was banned in the military? In 1979, Greg Cope White followed his straight best friend to Parris Island boot camp, cheated the physical to get in, and lied on his papers to serve. What followed was a wild, raw, hilarious, and heartfelt transformation to Devil Dog Marine.

Greg Cope White joins The Devil Doc Talk Show to share the real story behind his bestselling memoir The Pink Marine—a coming-of-age tale of grit, brotherhood, identity, and survival in the most macho environment imaginable. We dive into the brutal realities of recruit training, the fear of being found out, the unbreakable bonds forged under fire, and how those experiences shaped his life as a veteran, writer, and producer.

Now adapted into the Netflix series Boots (with Greg as writer and executive producer), this conversation is equal parts funny, moving, and unfiltered. Whether you’re a Marine, a vet, an ally, or just love a damn good underdog story, you won’t want to miss Greg’s take on courage coming in every color—even pink.

Semper Fi, grab your coffee (or whatever fuels your watch), and hit play. Oorah!
