In this episode, I talk with Ken Gouchi, former U.S. Army and host of Wienerfied dot com, and David Maestas, retired U.S. Army, and founder of Discover Maestro.
This episode also prefaces upcoming changes and or new items as I and the two men who contributed to this episode have agreed to start another podcast, arguably more likely a videocast, that will be available across numerous platforms. I hope you enjoy it.
Special Guests: Dave Maestas and Ken Gouchi.

In this episode, I take an unceremonious departure from Afghanistan, going back to Iraq. I will be going back to Afghanistan in order to revisit and complete the segment for that portion of my time in Afghanistan prior to going back to Iraq. And, then, back to Afghanistan for the final two years or so that I spent there prior to calling it quits.
Once that is completed, I fully intend to jump around the map, so to speak, in order to cover down on subjects obliquely referenced, and talking about subjects as they come to mind, as well as talking with guests and contributors.
This podcast has been, and likely always will be, a work in progress. I appreciate your patronage.
