Twenty One Gun Podcast

21 Gun will be publishing episodes weekly starting August 1st. The episodes will alternate between the classic 21 Gun interview format and a more laid back live format focusing on Irreverent Warrior hikes and hikers and co-hosted with Jeremy Walton and other local veterans. We'll be recording from the Instill Distilling Co in Clayton, NC.

Tonight's episode was the first of this new format with Travis MacCody Strong a former soldier whose brush with death in Iraq didn't slow him down at all! He's currently doing 60 days of Murphy Challenges. If you've ever done a Murph, you know how insane that is! So we brought him on to find out why. Check out Travis's Facebook page and let him know you're rooting him on! You can watch this interview over on Youtube or our FB Page.

Hamody Jasim has been one of America's greatest weapons in fighting the war against AL Qaeda and ISIS. Tonight in Part I of this series, he shares his story of growing up under the devastating oppression of Saddam's Regime and his eventual enlistment into the brand new Iraqi Army. Hamody went from being a young man, beaten every day, in Saddam's prison, to being one of the most lethal spies in Iraq – a threat to all the terrorists in the Iraqi war. His story is remarkable and I am honored to share his story with the 21 Gun audience.

Listen to Part II, Part III and Part IV

Tonight in Part II of this series, he shares the story of his unique military training by former Vietnam Veterans and recounts deadly encounters with terrorists in the Anbar Provence and Haifa Street in Baghdad.

Hamody's story is truly amazing as he went from being a child, beaten every day in Saddam Hussein's prison, to being one of the most lethal spies in Iraq – a threat to all the terrorists in the Iraqi war. His story is remarkable and I am honored to share his story with the 21 Gun audience.

Dr. Rob Sands is the co-founder of the Pamlico Rose Institute in Washington, NC which advances wellness programs for female Veterans. Pamlico focuses on connecting mind, body, spirit, and community through meaningful/persistent attention to nutrition, exercise, health, and spirituality and build resilience to help in reintegration.

Reintegration is more challenging for female Veterans due to: · conflicting roles and identity of mother, partner, and Veteran; · single parenting; · absence of support network and/or not self-identifying, · access to the VA difficult due to many factors. Building a strong foundation of wellness and resilience can help female Veterans overcome the effects of trauma and an uncertain future. Pamlico Rose promotes a holistic approach to wellness, Total Life Fitness (TLF), that builds a strong foundation of living fit and helping one move through the reintegration experience. Building resilience to adversity, TLF encourages an individual through mind, body, spirit and healthy relationships to focus on one's whole self. TLF programs include residential living, the arts, nutrition, gardening, connecting with nature, yoga, and other activities and will be offered at their Rose Haven Center of Healing in Washington, NC. Rose Haven includes a soon to be completed (Summer of 2020) rehabilitated 1892 farmhouse as a reintegration home, its adjacent historic barn as a multipurpose support facility, and a healing landscape that includes meditation and produce gardens. The Center covers ½ neighborhood block in Washington, NC's historic district.

Tonight we have Dan Santoro from Pizza Strike - making memes, comics and offensively wonderful moral patches for all to enjoy!

From his site: (www.pizzastrike.net)

I have always loved military art, but most of the morale patches I came across were super-serious and not my style. I wanted something stupid and funny, but all that was available was seven hundred versions of the punisher skull with American flags on them…. So I made my own.

I spent six years in the Air Force as a B-1 crew chief and learned quickly that the military is a really, really stupid place. I think Pizza Strike does a decent job of shining a little light on the goofiness that is military life.

...In short, I'm just a stupid dude in his garage, drawing stupid shit.

Thanks for the support everyone!

This week, the AMAZING story of wounded Navy veteran Nico Maroulis who literally went from wheelchair to the top of the world. Her personal drive and determination to physically push through injuries is an inspiration to anyone facing hardship. In this episode we discuss the hallmark injuries of the War on Terror, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post Traumatic Stress (PTS) and the complicated process of recovery. We discuss her experiences riding a hand cycle across the continental US and her trip to Nepal to climb Mt. Lobuche (situated next to Everest). She was featured in the documentary High Ground and Two Shining Seas. We had a GREAT discussion and this is one of my favorite episodes! Hope you enjoy!
