178 – Ashley Bugge – Kickin the Bucket List

Ashley is a returning guest who was on Oscar Mike Radio for #153 (https://whoobazoo.com/oscarmike/2019/…). Ashley’s husband, Brian who served in the Navy, passed away in a dive accident. Instead of letting this defeat her, she has used this experience to live with no regrets.

She came back to talk about her experiences since we last talked and I left the conversation with the knowledge that if we choose to we can take whatever life throws at us and work towards turning it into a positive outcome.

Go to https://www.ashleybugge.com/ to find out more about the Bugge’s story. You will want to see what Ashley is doing, she has a book coming out soon.

175 – Veterans Day Archery at Fall River Rod and Gun Club

175 – Veterans Day Archery at Fall River Rod and Gun Club

I shoot archery and have for about 15 years. I am on Reedy’s Archery Veterans Team (https://reedysarchery.com/). Doing archery with other Veterans has been rewarding and a great way to relax and enjoy nature.

Chuck Reinhagen and I met at Reedys. He asked me about my service and how I liked archery. I found out Chuck heads up the archery division for the Fall River Rod and Gun Club. We started talking about archery and what the Tri-County 3-D League does.

3-D Archery is where an archer will shoot at stationary targets throughout an outdoor course. Generally courses have thirty targets, of varying distances and difficulty. I had never shot Fall River before and was looking forward to this course on Veteran’s Day.

I said hello to Chuck and got started. Absolutely loved the course, I liked the wide trails and the shot variety made it fun. #26 was the most challenging shot and I want to do better next year. My other teammate and I had a good time.

Talking with Chuck Reinhagen after the shoot was great. I learned some new things about how the league works. Seeing how Chuck and other like him want to make archery accessible to Veterans, I want to thank everyone in the Tri-County 3-D Archery League for all the great shoots I had in 2019.

Reedy’s Veteran Archery Team is looking forward to 2020. Hope to see more Veterans out there. Thanks for talking with me Chuck!

Dean and I getting some Freedom going!

Sometimes the whole key to this is to be ready. Andrew Farrer, who was on Oscar Mike Radio 158, (https://whoobazoo.com/oscarmike/2019/08/02/158-nashville-silkies-hike-with-andrew-farrer/) introduced me to Dean. A few weeks later, Dean was in my part of the country and we worked to make time to talk. I am glad I did.

Dean Wegner played hockey for West Point then went on to be an Army Aviator. He was fortunate enough to be a candidate for Ranger School, and successfully completed his career in the Army as a Ranger.

Dean worked in several different industries, apparel being one of them. He has this idea that clothing could be made in America again. I could not believe it when he told me that 3% of all clothing worn in America is actually made in America.

As I talked with Dean, I couldn’t help but be drawn into this simple idea that jobs could be brought back to America. While I think it is an uphill battle, I wanted to be a part of this journey. When Dean showed me the Freedom T-Shirt and socks, I knew that I wanted only one answer to, “Where is Oscar Mike Radio’s apparel made?”

You can find out more by going to https://www.authenticallyamericanbrand.us/. I want to thank Andrew for introducing us. Dean, I am looking forward to seeing how Authentically American and Oscar Mike Radio grow together.
