In this episode of Behind the Camouflage, we’re heading to the desert to chat with Yuma spouse Amanda Watkins as part of our Home is Where the Marine Corps Sends You series.

Amanda gives us the full scoop on life at MCAS Yuma—from the sun-soaked days and small-town charm to building community in the middle of the desert. She shares what makes Yuma surprisingly special, how she adjusted to the heat (spoiler: lots of hydration), and why attitude really is everything when it comes to making a duty station feel like home.

Whether Yuma’s your next stop or you’ve just heard the stories, this episode is full of honest insight, local love, and tips to help you thrive in one of the Corps’ hottest duty stations. Give a listen!
