This is a very special interview and episode for me. Jason Kappen and I not only went to boot camp, MCT, SOI, and were deployed to 2nd LAI and Desert Shield/Desert Storm together, but he was the best man at my 1st wedding, he is the godfather to my children and the namesake of my oldest son. But more importantly, he has spent a 30+ year career turning marines into leaders. His insights into what works and what doesn't are hugely valuable. He has also seen the evolution and deployment of new technologies into a 'huge' public organisation and the adoption and adaption of a 245-year-old organisation into the modern era. He would be an unprecedented asset to any organisation and the fact that he has decided to help prepare the next generation of military leaders through the JROTC program is a credit to him. I hope the organisation and students know what a great man they have.
