In this episode, we changed up from transition stories to overall stories. I am joined by MSgt Brian Ogbonnaya, who is currently Active-Duty military. I met Obie in 2008 as I picked him up from the Airport in Okinawa Japan. He was an 18-year-old E1, brand new to the USAF and the real world. I have seen him transform from a young and dumb kid to a respectable and go-getter. After I got out of the Air Force, we work together again in 2016. I was able to witness the growth and professionalism this man embodies. I consider him a little brother and super proud of his achievements, but more importantly his growth and dedication to his family. We spent time talking about books, ego, therapy, and his battle with PTSD. I’m thankful he was vulnerable enough to talk about personal matters, this episode will truly help someone looking for help. We also talked about race in the military and the sometimes quiet talks between minorities have.
