Exciting and Super Educational

I personally skipped the military and went from high school into the work force. I wished I had a do over on that but I’m age 69 now so no can do. But This podcast really brings the excitement and joy of all of these military heroes. Pilots, Mechs, REOs, and all of the stories of military life. I feel like I lived a little bit of the military life after listening to each podcast.

Wonderful guests, thoughtful host

Even without a great deal of aviation knowledge, one can enjoy Jello’s story telling and superb interviewing skills. I’ve been a fan for years, and my kids like to listen as well.
