Hello and a big thanks to all who have listened to Oscar Mike Radio and spread the word. I wanted to quickly recap yesterday’s show and provide some links to some of the things that I talked about with you all.

        You have heard the bumper and the beginning and the trailer at the end of each podcast show right? I am working with Keith Hayes on making Oscar Mike Radio part of the Whoobazoo Community. I am excited about this opportunity to work with Keith who is a Brockton guy through and through. I can’t wait to see what happens.

     I got a lot of feedback about moral justice vs the rule of law. I wanted to provide some links to look up the story and some of the definitions.

     Military Types aren’t happy unless they are complaining about something. I don’t know anyone who looks forward to running PT Tests. I still can’t figure out how a PT test shows I am ready to engage in hand to hand combat……..

Oscar Mike Radio – What is the Mission?

Oscar Mike Radio – What is the Mission?

by | Jul 1, 2016 | Blog

I had this idea to create a place for active military service members, veterans, and non veterans to meet and share ideas on how to be there for each other.

I served in the Marine Corps in the late 1990s, got out, and moved on with my life. I started getting involved with some local veteran organizations and realized that there are many stories and efforts happening every day that need to be told.

I looked at different ways to do this and settled on using a podcast/internet radio format to do this. The first podcast will be up this week. I will post how to access it when it is finished.

Oscar Mike Radio is my way of giving a place for people who, regardless of the branch service, a way to have their voice heard.

It will take time for me to get this all dialed in, but to delay launching any longer would not accomplish anything. There will be updates on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and I am looking at Snapchat as well.

To all those who have supported this so far, thank you and Semper Fidelis.
