In our Season 4 finale of Behind the Camouflage, we sit down with 1stSgt Stacie Black, USMC (Ret) to explore her extraordinary journey through service, leadership, and life in the Marine Corps community. Stacie reflects on her own time in uniform, her transition into becoming a Marine Corps spouse, and the unique perspective gained as the wife of the 19th Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps, Troy Black.

She shares how she and Troy met, what those early years of marriage and military life looked like, and the lessons that shaped her as both a First Sergeant and a leader within the spouse community. Stacie also talks about balancing service, family, and entrepreneurship — and what her business has taught her along the way.

We close with reflections on the moments that defined her resilience, her advice for today’s military spouses, and what’s bringing her joy now.

A powerful, heartfelt finale celebrating purpose, identity, and the strength found behind the camouflage. Give a listen!
