First, I apologize for the horrible quality of the recording. I wish it was clearer because the discussion was really good. Anyhow, it has been a great deployment with these crazy folks and we have all improved in Fitness, Life, and Friendship. Enjoy!!!

Ep 2 - AFA vs ROTC vs OTS
Got to spend some quality time with the future of the USAF. Lord, help us all!! Just kidding. We talk about the benefits and drawbacks to each of the three main commissioning sources: AFA (Air Force Academy), ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps), and OTS (Officer Training School). We had a lot of fun and I hope yall enjoy hearing how today's young people decide to serve their country.

Ep 1 - Credibility
When everyone in the world is an expert, how do you know what to believe? Well, it is your responsibility to make that decision! It seems that credibility in media (social or otherwise) is severely on the decline and that is creating some interesting issues for everyone. In this episode, I discuss the issue with credibility and ways to help understand our role as the receiver. Enjoy!

Ep 13 - 4 Books
This month's challenge was to read one Bible book per week and really focus on taking good notes and digesting what I could. It was an awesome experience that I would very much recommend. I read Genesis, Isaiah, James, and Revelations.
