Tim and Matt spend some time today talking over the most common interview question and how so many people get this wrong. "Tell me about yourself" it is such a quick opening question and for so many of us we open up our interviews bogging down the conversation before it even really begins. We discuss a Marine veteran who choked out a passenger on the NYC subway after he was harassing other passengers, leading to his death. We finish the show today talking about a UFC fighter training with Marines. Paddy Pimblett took on 10 Marines back to back, submitting each and every one of them.

On todays show Matt and Tim discuss the holidays that we just got through and seeing family and friends. This holiday season ended with Matt and his son actually being at the Bengals vs Bills NFL game where a 24 year old young man suffered cardiac arrest on the field needing to be given CPR on the field and having the game suspended. We do our best to transition into military related news. We discuss how the naval fighter pilot academy better known as TOPGUN fines pilots $5 every time they quote the movie of the same name! We quickly highlight an article that covers the Navy's Marine mammal system where they train dolphins and sea lions to detect underwater mines, intruding swimmers or crafts that may be hard for our sonar to detect. We end the show discussing how as you transition out of the military how important it is to realize you are more then your MOS or the job you did while serving.
