On this episode of Tactically Acquired I sat down with Army Veteran, NKU Alum, and current Kentucky State Senator Chris McDaniel.  Senator McDaniel discusses his time at the Citadel (arriving at the age of 16), why he was called “baby” airborne (#standup – hookup), his time as an Army Infantry Officer, the reasons behind going to NKU’s MBA program, how he got into politics (#who is they), and tips and tools for transition and life success.  

Our goal is to document military connected living history in a fun and easy environment.  We will capture the stories of our active duty, guard, reservists, veterans, ROTC and their families.  Sharing their stories, adventures, and journeys across the military life cycle.  

The podcast is for anyone interested in joining the military, has been a part of the military, or who wishes to learn more about military life.  In addition, we want to bridge the growing military-civilian divide through education.  

This is “unfiltered” meaning we will go over the good, the bad, and yes, maybe even the ugly of being a military connected individual.  

This is from Northern Kentucky University’s Veterans Resource Station in partnership with the Department of History.  Produced by Professor Kevin Eagles.
