Ally’s dad joins us in studio. An OG Paratrooper from 1/509 Geronimo. Airborne before hashtags. Before chest candy chasing. Before “content.”This is a man who earned his place the hard way—boots on, mouth shut, standard high. We’ll talk lineage, brotherhood, and what it meant to wear the maroon beret when being a Paratrooper was a lifelong identity, not a phase. We’ll honor our fallen early with N...
