Stone Gomez, who stars in the InCharge YouTube series, is a real-life drill sergeant with the Army Reserve. He trains new Army recruits from his Central Florida base while also working as a client services specialist for the nonprofit organization. Stone has twice been deployed to Iraq and delivers a powerful message to Americans with debt problems as he barks out instructions, Army-style, about the importance of financial discipline in dealing with this national epidemic.
