Not an official DoD Podcast1 hr 48 min - Brian Childers takes over the 3FU - Brian Interviews Nick Perez
Uh oh. Nick has temporarily relinquished control 🎛 of the coveted, illustrious, WORLD famous even--3FU Podcast. Don't fret. Our fearless leader has only lent the reigns to 3FU regular Brian Childers. Brian doesn't just sit down with Nick Perez, the UTM; 🪑he sits down with Nick ...the person.
In these talks, Nick tells us about his upbringing, his hero, his grandfather, Chico, and living in south Fort Worth. Brian asks Nick what he would fight if he could. And Nick gets to address the video he made about not making MSgt this past year and the video he released. Nick and Brian talk about Fight Club 🧼👊 quotes, most impactful moments, and they even build the perfect UTM! As usual, this dynamic duo talks about what keeps them motivated in the good and bad times. They laugh, cry (a lot of crying), and share experiences that any UTM can relate to.
We want to wish you the best this Holiday season, and have high hopes for 2022! Lets connect, do business together, and keep the conversation 🗣 going about TRNG! Lets make next year the biggest yet for the Podcast, the Youtube channel, and our AFSC!
🎁 Happy Holidays from the 3FU team🎄

Not an official DoD Podcast1 hr 15 min - CMSgt Cari Mujica Part 2 of 2
Last time on the 3FUniverse, the show ended abruptly with the internet cutting out. Nick found Chief again after the internet behaved.
Chief starts off by throwing out ideas for the podcast. Will the 3FUniverse be the future home of a Career Field Manager All Call for the AFSC? The Chief and Nick talk about lessons learned, and Nick reveals his anxieties about hosting and Chief reveals how harsh reading Facebook comments can be.
"You don't have to be Perfect to be amazing". Chief teaches Nick this mantra and the two discuss Retired Chief Perkins and what it was like starting out as the 3F2 CFM. Then the two discuss the legend of Nick showing up to the previous conference with a sleeping bag and no hotel room. The pair talk about how important being connected and together at the conference is and brining that message back to everyones workcenters is.
Shoutouts to Gretchen Hanes, and Julie Tinsley!
Will Chief even get to go to the conference? Funding is an issue for Chiefs? Listen to find out!
Sometimes both Chief and Nick miss being A1Cs, and they reminisce over the "good ole days" for a minute. Chief then tells us her plans for retirement, mainly 6 months of not working is step one. Step two? You'll have to listen and hear for yourself!
Later on, they breakdown what is important in the career field, 2096s, SoTs and the Air Force of post World War Two and beyond. That guy in the corner with the cigars, ugh.
Finally, TFTR 2.0 is like MySpace? Tom will be there with custom music for our training pages?
PART THREE COMING SOON...after the holidays!
As always, enjoy, and leave feedback for the show.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS from the 3FU team!

Not an official DoD Podcast40 min - CMSgt Cari Mujica Part 1 of 2
Nick and Chief break down the fourth wall of 3F2ing, and touch on topics like..is an hour just right or not enough for podcasting? Who really is her favorite Unit Training Manager(UTM)? Chief tells us where she is from, and how she came to be in the position of the 3F2X1 Career Field Manager(CFM). Later, she reveals what a normal day in the life is like for her, and advice for those who aim to be a CFM.
The two shift gears, and Chief tells Nick about her retirement plans, and how she envisions retirement. Unfortunately, the internet cuts out and the conversation ends abruptly. Coincidentally though, the pair hit nearly the 45 min mark, and they wrap up part 1 of possibly 3 parts there.
Enjoy!!!

Not an official DoD Podcast42 min - "Jetting" off with Ryan Jette
Nick interviews Ryan over Facebook Messenger, and the two discuss small town Air Force bases, where Ryan came from before he was a 3F2. Around the 13 minute mark, the two discuss consistency and why Ryan decided to make running a priority in his life. 17 minutes into the show, Nick poses the question to Ryan, "What do you bring to the table for the 3FUniverse?" Ryan tells the podcast about setting up a TedX talk at his base and what went into it. Later, the pair discuss the 3F2 conference, which leads into a conversation about opportunities. Are opportunities given for nothing? What do you do when opportunity rings? Then, Nick announces Ryan's addition to the 3F2 Iron Benders! Lastly, Nick tells Ryan and the Universe he wants more diversity on the show. This is an episode you don't want to miss.

Not an official DoD Podcast53 min - "Childersing" out of the career field -- "Childersing" back into the conversation
Brian and Nick have their second session of intense, wild, and possibly controversial thoughts.
Brian reflects on Shirt-ing and explains why he still makes appearances and efforts in the 3F community. He also challenges the "hidden" figures of the 3F2 community to make themselves more visible. The guys also discuss previous podcasts and clarify some ideas from episode 1 with Cory, such as Nick's thoughts on creating a podcast with CMSAF. The hosts further entangle themselves in a dialogue about vaccines, morals, and convictions. The chat takes another drastic turn as connectedness and suicide are addressed and how that fits into the plot with the other things occurring. From there, Nick and Brian debate about #innovation being a dirty word, and how to measure success. A few moments are devoted to the word connectedness. The hosts discussed the question: What does connectedness mean to young Airmen versus the older Airmen of the force? Later on, the dynamic pair discuss certain people in the career field. Who are the movers and shakers making impacts? Finally, the two speak brainstorm ideas about the upcoming conference and upcoming episodes for the podcast.
Will his Mom make this the second most-listened-to episode of the podcast? Will you listen in to help him? All this and more on the second episode of season 2 of the 3FUniverse!!!

Not an official DoD Podcast1 hr 10 min - CMSAF JoAnne S. Bass - FirstsI’m joined by the 19th Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force, JoAnne S. Bass! We discuss everything from spam musubi to the future of the Air Force. I go all out and ask Chief if we are getting PT hoodies, Chevrons on our sleeves, her favorite coffee, and if we can change some of our positions to warrant officers! There might be some bonus info that hasn’t been released anywhere else yet too! 😉 This was a huge opportunity, and I wasn’t nervous up until about 2 minutes before we started talking….which led to me forgetting she was the 19th CMSAF. Forgive my nerves, this was a huge episode for me, and an amazing opportunity. HUGE SHOUTOUTS to Geoff at 369SoundDesign.com for supporting the podcast. He produces the sound for the 3FUniverse podcast! Contact him for all of your audio needs, whether it is recording, mixing, or mastering, he will bring your sound to life!--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/3funiverse/message
