I got connected to Phil Cook from meeting Andrew Farrer of Irreverent Warriors Nashville. His story was interesting because Army Veteran Phil Cook was wounded while serving our country. Doctors told him he would not be able to ruck ever again. In typical Army fashion, Phil not only ruck marches but is getting ready for the Bataan Memorial March on March 15th, 2020. He is a lesson to what working t...

#186 came from the NY Post article on February 11th, 2020. See link below https://nypost.com/2020/02/11/wife-mu... Catherine Walker's husband had her killed by his lover in 2014. He wanted the $400,000.00 in insurance money. 6 years later justice was served. I can't get over how Catherine was able to forgive her murderer before being killed. Jody Podcasts are made to demonstrate the turmoil infide...

Marine Veteran Mike Damon owned his PTSD. He is using what he learned in his journey to create a guide for anyone to use to conquer their inner battles. The guide is written like guides in the military are written. The principles are easy to understand and implement. Listening to Mike talk about his vision and intent for what he is trying to do makes me believe that there is truly a way to go to 0...

I continue my military story with #184 which is about swim qualification in the Marine Corps. Knowing how to swim is kind of important for any Marine. Also, one can't graduate boot without passing a basic water qualification. I am not the best swimmer and treading water for four minutes seemed like an eternity. I just had to make slow, easy movements and keep breathing. Sounds simple enough, but p...

Becky Tough has been on #125, # 133 and now 50 podcasts later, # 183. We have talked before about how art can help Veterans.

Also called Operation Eagle Claw by U.S. Forces, this was Delta Forces first operation that experienced catastrophic failure. Operation Tabas, as it was called by the Persians was an attempt to rescue American hostages taken from the Iran Embassy. I thought it relevant based on the lack of knowledge about our past with Iran. This is a work in progress. I think I will revisit this topic in 2020 bec...

Shaun Schubert is the founder and CEO Red Seal Martial Arts. He has been on Oscar Mike Radio before and has a way for Veterans to stay in the fight.

Shaun addresses this in the interview. We had been talking before this podcast and...

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.

She came back to talk about her experiences since we last talked and I left the conversation with the knowledge that if we...
