In April 2018, Elizabeth McAlister age 80 was caught trespassing and trying to vandalize government property on Kings Bay Submarine Base. It is kind of funny, but not really. Elizabeth was one of seven defendants caught carrying hammers and baby bottles filled with their own blood. Baby bottles filled with their own blood? That right there made me ask several questions that didn’t go anywhere good.
I am all about protest, but I don’t see how this moves any kind of change forward. The truth is stranger than fiction, and never underestimate the will of an older woman. Mission in Flight

I had a hiring manager reach out to me in frustration that Veterans did not show up to job interviews. Did some reading and this article by Saxon Mardsen – Huggins of Recruit Shop(https://recruitshop.com.au/why-people-dont-show-up-for-interviews/) laid it out pretty well.
Looking for a job after active duty service can be tough and nerve wracking. Believe me, there are many people pulling for you when your resume comes across their desk. Nothing is more frustrating than getting a group of people to look at a military veteran’s resume, coordinate an interview only to have the veteran candidate not show up with no explanation. It happens more often than one thinks, and it is a bad look.
As I said in the show, there are many different resources out there to help you get ready for an interview. You completed military service. A job interview is a conversation. SHOW the ______ UP!

it is always good getting to talk with other podcasters. Especially podcasters who are starting out with their craft. Matt Cameron is the creator and host of Mattie C’s Sports and You and Me Podcast.
Seeing Matt grow and talking with him about sports and the military is one of the best things about being a podcasters. It is always good to talk with civilians about how they feel about the military and veterans.
Matt was authentic about his respect and admiration for those who serve and have served our country. I like where Matt is going with his podcast and he is getting some great guests on his show.

I read this article (https://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news…) in the Marine Corps Times by Geoff Ziezuiewicz. It was about Robert Remus who portrayed the professional wrestling character, Sgt Slaughter. The article goes into great detail about the fact that Robert never served in the military despite his claim that he did.
Next to taking advantage of a disabled Veteran, stolen valor is something that angers me. Claiming to have served in the Vietnam War is a slap in the face to all that did serve and the Gold Star Family Members of that war.
I feel that Robert should apologize and not do any appearances on military bases or for any military organization. He can be Sgt Slaughter, but he didn’t serve. I wonder if certain entities let this slide because having him at events was seen as a good look for the military and the WWE. I am going to try and ask him some of these questions. What do you think?

I want say thanks to Ben Biddick, US Army Veteran, host of the Get Up Nation Show who recommended the book – The Warrior’s Book of Virtues
I got to talk to two of the three authors of a book that has had a positive impact on me. Richard Bryan and Matt Bloom recounted their military experience and how this shaped their focus to write this book. The Warrior’s Book of Virtues is written in a way that anyone military and civilian can benefit from reading it.
Talking with Richard and Matt, I thought about how individuals with different backgrounds in life and the military came together to create something that is needed now more than ever. Thanks for talking with me an Semper Fidelis
