Military service is a point of pride for many here in Tennessee and across the country. From wanting to serve something bigger than oneself, to seeking job experience or world travel, to honoring a family tradition of service — everyone who joins the military must find their own reason for signing up. Today, we’re talking with local recruiters from the U.S. Army, Navy and Marine Corps to learn more about each branch and the first steps anyone here in Middle Tennessee can take toward serving.

Guests:

  • U.S. Army Sergeant First Class Paul Gardner
  • U.S. Navy Commander Lacey Popson
  • U.S Marine Corps Staff Sergeant Brandon McCoppin
