Why Two Marines Moving Earned National Recognition
Trust matters.
That’s especially true when you’re inviting a company into your home, trusting them with everything you own, and expecting them to deliver professionalism under pressure.
That’s why national, third‑party recognition matters.
Two Marines Moving was featured on Lifetime Channel’s Military Makeover—a nationally televised program that highlights organizations making a real, measurable impact in the lives of U.S. service members and veterans. The segment was narrated by Montel Williams, a veteran himself, lending an authentic voice to the story.
This was not ad copy.
This was independent storytelling.
A Founder Shaped by Service
The Military Makeover segment begins where the story truly starts: with service.
Two Marines Moving founder and CEO Nicholas Baucom grew up in Memphis, Tennessee, in a family shaped by military history. His grandfather, a World War II veteran who served at Pearl Harbor, was a hero in the family.
That legacy, combined with the events of 9/11, shaped a decision that would change the course of his life.
The Marine Corps became the proving ground: a place to grow, to be tested, and to serve something larger than self. That experience instilled values that would later become foundational to Two Marines Moving—trust, accountability, teamwork, and mission focus.
From Combat Service to Building a Mission‑Driven Company
After serving with distinction in the United States Marine Corps, including receiving the Presidential Unit Citation and the Combat Action Ribbon, Nick returned to civilian life.
Civilian life lacked the structure, purpose, and brotherhood that defined military service. Rather than walking away from those values, Nick saw an opportunity to extend them into the civilian world—through business.
In 2008, on November 10th, the Marine Corps’ birthday, Two Marines Moving was formed with a clear intention:
to build a professional moving company that felt like an extension of military service.
A Company Built Around People, Not Just Moves
The Military Makeover feature makes something very clear:
Two Marines Moving is not just about moving boxes. It’s about developing people.
The company intentionally hires veterans from across the Armed Forces, including:
- Marines
- Army
- National Guard
- Reservists
- Active‑duty service members working weekends
- Veterans using the GI Bill while attending school
Veterans are not hired as a gesture—they are hired because they already know how to operate as a team.
Two Marines Moving invests in their growth beyond physical labor:
- Dispatchers are trained in customer service, sales, and communication
- Team members are coached for advancement
- Career development is actively encouraged
As highlighted in the segment, people are the company’s most important asset, and a majority of the workforce is made up of veterans.
Why This Matters to Clients
Throughout the Military Makeover segment, one theme is clear:
trust is earned through discipline and consistency.
Most of Two Marines Moving’s business comes from:
- Referrals
- Repeat clients
- Long‑term trust built one move at a time
Clients trust Two Marines Moving because they experience:
- Professional conduct
- Reliable execution
- Clear communication
- Respect for their belongings
- Accountability from start to finish
From moving a single item to coordinating long‑distance relocations, the same standards apply.

Why This Recognition Still Matters Today
Television segments come and go.
Values either endure—or they don’t.

That foundation continues to guide:
- How we hire
- How we train
- How we price
- How we execute moves
- How we treat clients
And it’s why this recognition still matters—years later.
