VALOR

In this episode, we're telling the story of Commander Tammie Jo Shults. Tammie Jo's path was altered by recruiters who put gender ahead of their country, but she never let them deter her. She dreamed of drifting parallel to the clouds, and a childhood built on farm habits fostered humility and purpose in her. Today, we're talking to her about the importance of grounding yourself in routine, and how she stayed precise and collected when a plane full of passengers depended on her.
