Many standing on the outside do not understand the bonds and mechanics of what goes into being a military member, yet many discuss it a lot. This is an internal look at what being in the military means and how it affects the lives of our soldiers.
In this episode Brett and Dustin sit down with Chris Thompson who is a retired Captain with the US Army. The hosts dive into what it means to be involved with the military and some of the hurdles one must go through to accomplish military service. Chris gives a direct perspective of what it means to be actively engaged in the military and also gives a brief glimpse of deployments and the effects it has on the people around the military member. From leadership principles to current issues surrounding the evacuation in Afghanistan, the guest and hosts work to paint the picture for the listener on what life in the military actually looks like.
Note: The episode is started with a remembrance of those lost during the Afghanistan evacuation.
