Josh is joined by long time friends TAP and T.I.

All served together circa 2004-2007 at Sigonella, Sicily.

TAP is a Navy veteran, who has accomplished many great feats of strength and conditioning not only of himself but of some Major League friends of his. Pretty much he makes people awesome. He now works at Fort Johnson and tries to make US Army Soldiers as awesome as US Navy Sailors. He's finding it challenging.

T.I. is still active duty, serving as the voice of History and Heritage Command. Or, it might be all print work, not sure. At any rate, he's getting old and would like to retire soon. But, the O4 paycheck keeps showing up so he keeps showing up for muster.
