The claim rests only on the podcast speaker's own anecdote about being transferred to a unit he calls Echo Company, which he says doesn't exist.
What was said
… And, of course, the one time he's not here, ah, where he got lost by the Navy, and he's like, "Yeah, for, like, I forget what it was, like nine months to a year, he's like, 'Yeah, my job was to, like, swim in San Diego and work out.'" Yeah, damn. I was also transferred to what we call Echo Company, that doesn't exist as well, so for a while in the military I didn't exist. When I got out, that's what I did. Last three months, got back, went to formation, they didn't call my name, and they're like, "We didn't call your name. Raise your hand." I was like, "Not that stupid. I'm not that dumb.

Context. The only support for the claim is the speaker's own account in the post, which cannot corroborate itself.
Context. Sources on Echo Company units (for example Fort Leonard Wood, the 160th SOAR drone company, and the 4th IBCT's new support company) describe real, distinct units and do not mention this speaker or any transfer to him.[1][2][3][4]
Context. The extraction is faithful to the passage: the post says he was transferred to 'what we call Echo Company, that doesn't exist,' so the claim does not add any detail the post lacks.
