In 1991-1992 at the age of 19 I took part in something called “Operation Furetes Caminos” as part of a detachment to the 536th Combat Engineers.  From Dec 91 – June of 92 we worked to carve 10 miles of road into the Honduran interior in one of the harshest environments in the world.  While there I learned a lot about life, survival and I learned how that which seems desolate and harsh can show you some of the most beautiful things the world has to offer. Join me today on another time travel event back to 1992 as we … Continue reading →

The notes for this show will be very brief as it is simply a show dedicated to our Veterans with a background on why we celebrate Veteran’s Day on November, 11th.  They guns fell silent on the “11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918”.  Yes it sounds cool but setting it up that way cost thousands of additional lives on World War 1!  Just one example of the sacrifices soliders make for the vanity of those in government. We also announce our first sponsor of the listener appreciation contest today.  SOE Tactical Gear, tune in … Continue reading →
