From the date this was published, close to a year ago I sit down with John, Cameron and Rod. The reason this podcast took a jump in production quality, is because the of us on deployment got stoked on the idea of doing an episode once we got back. It took 3 year to get everyone to sit down, and this is the result. A lot of inside baseball, but I hope you enjoy.
Background.
John was our acting Platoon Sgt for CAAT Blue WPNS Co and for the duration of the deployment once we got back from HKIA. Cameron was John's 2nd generation boot in 1/5. Cameron, Rod and Myself (Doc), all got to V2/1 shortly before the deployment as a part of CAAT Blue WPNS CO and all went to HKIA for the evacuation effort.

I sit down with Kevin (The Barracks Barber) a professional master barber who served in the Marine Corps Reserves. He has gained a following on social media by hosting barber competitions, interviewing cliants, active duty/veteran military members, his masterful haircuts and skills as a barber. Also he raised $5,000 OAR Foundation by sharing the story of a Purple Heart Recipient from HKIA and then ran a half marathon in tribute to the fallen of HKIA.
