18: The Airman Is Alive


Listen Later

Pararescue is the most highly decorated Air Force-enlisted force, executing the most perilous, demanding, and extreme rescue missions at anytime, anywhere around the globe. Their motto is: "These Things We Do, That Others May Live." Pararescue Staff Sergeant James D. Pou was so legendary, he became the "gold standard" for how the Air Force drills its trainees. He died a hero.

So why did the June 2, 1993 L.A. Times headline read: "Bigamist, Deserter Escapes From Air Force Brig"....? Grab a parachute and jump into the interstate scandal of one legendary Airman/escape artist, two wives, two affairs, five kids, one bank robbery, and a military prison break. Reb debriefs the military's very own "justice" system and why you can't lead a triple life if you can't keep your gun dry in U.S. v. Pou (1995).
