A little different vein today. I felt it was a good time I Opened up about my time In the service more. How I decided to join the armed services and the factors that lead me there. My good buddy Jon joined me today as we discussed a whole gamut of topics and situations we encountered.

Jon and I go way back to my early days at college; where I did not know what I wanted from life and where it would take me. I was just showing up

But needless to say I am fortunate that we crossed paths. Jon brought me into the Ranger Challenge Competition Group at Utah State University's (USU) Army ROTC program, and because of that it shaped my whole mindset and eventual decision to join the military later on.

We've kept in touch throughout the years and were finally able to make it all happen to connect and openly Discuss our experiences.

We both take time to share the Highs and Lows of our service to the country and ultimately what lead us to get out when we did. It was great to find these common threads and unfortunately the tune of tale isn't too uncommon anymore.

But we also discuss from the negative that was present in our respective organizations, what we also learn from those times as well. And it those decisions and the hardworking and honor in our time in service that has further shaped who we are today.
