Jaime Chapman owns a Military Spouse Staffing Agency and is the Co-Founder of the United States Military Spouse Chamber of Commerce (https://milspousechamber.org/)

In this episode of The David Johnson Show, Jaime breaks down the impact of military spouses putting their careers on hold. The military spouse demographic is drastically underemployed with one in four military spouses being unemployed. Jaime tells the truth about being a military spouse and what a day in the life of a military spouse looks like. Since the military spouse unemployment rate is so high, Jaime also details the many aspects of military spouses taking their career from freelancing to military spouse entrepreneurship - military spouse professional development and military spouse education being just some of them.

In this military podcast, we learn that one in three military families move every year. In the five years, Jaime has been married to her Active Duty husband, they have lived in four homes, two states, and a different country.  This is one reason why a military wife has a difficult time growing and maintaining a steady career.  This is why over half of military spouses turn to self-employment sometime during their “career.”

The Military Spouse Chamber of Commerce (MSCC) is one resource for freelance or entrepreneur military spouses. MSCC has a proprietary certification process that can allow your business to be officially labeled as a “Military Spouse Owned Business” - in turn allowing the business owner to engage in different programs, receive benefits and participate in supplier diversity options the Chamber brings to the table. It’s a true military spouse support system.

With flowing enthusiasm, Keith Caraway shares how he joined the U.S. Army in 1999 and was sent to Germany. He returned to the U.S. in December 2001, spent some time in the army’s Corporal Recruiting Program program, and soon began gaining multiple deployments, including Special Operations. Eventually, Keith spent all of his 20s in Afghanistan. Keith also shares the challenges of transitioning to civilian life.

David & Keith also talk about the drive of being part of the military family, the pride and power when you hear “HOOAH”, the beloved battle cry of the Army. (The phrase ‘Hooah’ is said to have originated in WWII, when soldiers replied to orders from commanding officers with the short word “HUA”, which was an acronym for ‘heard, understood, acknowledged”.)

“Keith’s had a cool military career, and I wanted to share his experiences with our viewers to kick off the new series,” said David Johnson.”Knowing Keith the way I do, I’m sure you’ll feel his passion and excitement, which really comes across in this interview.”

Why conventional interrogation tactics didn’t work in the early Iraq days and how getting a prisoner to talk led to a new approach to interrogation.

This is an excerpt from the full story on how the U.S. Army’s hunt for the one man who knew the location of Saddam Hussein turned into one of the biggest success stories in military history.

The David Johnson Show is a national voice that talks about points of interest within our cultural – The Military and Veteran Cultural.

More so than ever the Military and Veteran community has created a culture in America. A sub-culture unique to our way of life, our experiences and the language we speak. Military forces have been deploying to fight the war on terrorism since 09/11/2001 and remain engaged in combat operations to this day. We have seen the good, the bad and the ugly. This mindset of a Soldier, Airman, Sailor or Marine is never lost. Yes, the individual will exit the Military and start a new chapter in their life, however, the culture never dies.

David Martin & Gabriel Uliburri, the founders of Real American Heroes Coffee Company talk with David Johnson about all of the various aspects of starting a business.
 
Their original plan was for a coffee shop, but that changed into becoming an e-commerce business that is now branching out into coffee shops in Phoenix.
 
The Air Force veterans were both in logistics which helped in many aspects of their business.
 
“Fortunately for us, we were both logistics when we joined the Air Force. Gabe crossed over to the fire department, but I stayed in logistics and I’ve learned a lot about the logistics business from transportation, shipping, receiving, the inventory you know all that good stuff. So it really helped me run and do our part,” said Dave Martin.

David Martin & Gabriel Uliburri, the founders of Real American Heroes Coffee Company talk with David Johnson about how they started their business.

While deployed in Kuwait, David Martin & Gabriel Uliburri came up with a plan to launch a coffee company after they returned. They did research when they could and lined up places to call on after their return.

They found a great company that not only has excellent coffee but has helped these military entrepreneurs with their business offering them guidance on running a business.

“Especially transitioning from military to business. There's a lot of similarities with that, but they just kind of made that connection for us. Not only did they help us with coffee or fresh coffee but also kind of just guidance and what it's like to create a business.”
