This week on the Shadows Podcast, we had an emotional conversation with the newest member of the Shadows Podcast team, Caleb Pearson.

Caleb is a Noncommissioned Officer in the United States Air Force and is currently an instructor at the Gunter Noncommissioned Officer Academy in Montgomery, Alabama.

Here are some of the topics Caleb discussed:

- Growing up in Texas as a twin and a son of a preacher

- Why he felt unwanted as a child and the up and down relationship with his Father, to include his letters to his Father while he was in prison
- His relationship with his Mother and Grandfather
- Dealing with racism
- What drove him to join the Air Force and how did he almost see it slip away
- Struggles adjusting to the military
- His sexuality and how his family took the news
- What still motivates him after 15 years active duty
