In this episode of the **ASVAB Domination Podcast**, Mickey Gamonal sits down with **Michael “Sully” Sullivan**, retired Army Colonel, former Green Beret, and leader with **Team Red, White & Blue (Team RWB)**.
Sully’s military journey began long before Special Forces.
He took the ASVAB as a high school student, went through ROTC at Claremont McKenna College, commissioned as an Army officer, and eventually built a career that included service as a **Green Beret and Special Forces officer** before retiring as a Colonel.
But this conversation goes far beyond test scores or choosing an MOS.
Mickey and Sully talk about what it takes to build a meaningful military career, competing on the Army’s Order of Merit List, pursuing opportunities without becoming consumed by promotions, and learning to focus on doing your current job exceptionally well.
Sully also shares his perspective on one of the biggest challenges service members eventually face: **figuring out who you are when the uniform comes off.**
Today, through **Team RWB**, he continues serving the military and veteran community by helping veterans build healthier lives through fitness, community, leadership, and genuine human connection.

### About Team RWB
**Team Red, White & Blue** is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching veterans’ lives through fitness, community, and human connection.
What began in 2010 has grown into a nationwide veteran community, giving veterans and supporters opportunities to run, train, volunteer, lead, and build relationships together.
Whether you’re preparing to join the military, currently serving, transitioning out, or have been a veteran for years, Sully’s story is a reminder that **your next chapter can be just as meaningful as the one you’re in today.**
### This episode is for you if:
You’re preparing for the ASVAB and wondering where military service could take you.
You’re already serving and thinking about your next promotion, MOS, branch, or career opportunity.
Or maybe you’re approaching the end of your military career and asking an entirely different question:
**What comes next?**
Sully’s answer is rooted in a lifetime of service: keep showing up, do the job in front of you well, invest in people, and continue finding ways to serve.
### Final takeaway:
Your ASVAB score can help open the first door.
But what you do after walking through it is up to you.
A military career can lead to opportunities you never imagined, but rank and titles aren't the finish line. Build relationships. Take care of people. Challenge yourself. Stay physically and mentally engaged.
And when one chapter ends, find another reason to keep moving forward.
**Serve well. Lead well. And keep building a life worth showing up for.**
