August 19, 2024WTC | Ep 27: SkillBridge Changes, Time to Panic?
Of all the things to get us back on the mic after all this time, it was a suspicious post from the Air Force amn/nco/snco Facebook page. Does this screen shot have legs to stand on or is just all a bunch of unconfirmed bull. Since the host is currently going through the Skillbridge program, we dive into these changes and get to the bottom of it for you.

July 25, 2023WTC | Ep 26: Overcoming Tragedy and Honoring Lt Paul DeWolf
We're checking in with our good friends Chad and Rebekah Holling over a glass of Yellow Spot whiskey. During our conversation, we learn more about their story of overcoming personal tragedy, and how they have moved forward through honoring the life of Rebekah's brother, Lt Paul DeWolf.

A recent Air Force recruit, Paul was attending the University of Michigan to become a physician when his life was tragically cut short. The Holling's open up about hearing the news, and how they are honoring the life of their brother and best friend by keeping his legacy alive. We also learn about the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) and how they are a great resource for long term grief support. Below are some links to learn more about TAPS, Lt DeWolf, and a memorial video from U of M.
