"Our mission in life never ends, it just changes as we go."

He attended Utah State, where he earned a BA and was commissioned as an Army Aviation second lieutenant. He's also earned an MA in aviation instruction.

One in three will experience a significant trauma in their life. For army Apache pilot Brian Slade, his first was in Afghanistan.
