Special Forces veteran, Mr. Kevin "Edge" Edgerton, joins us in the virtual studio to tell us a bit about his own personal fitness journey, how his Special Forces experience helped him find his niche, and why 18A Fitness is the place to go if you want to be physically prepared for Army or Air Force Special Operations selection.

Whether you want to be an operator or you're just getting off the couch, Kevin has a program for you. Bonus: he has "yoga on crack", too!

"That was the first time I saw anti-aircraft artillery getting shot up at us."

With a legendary military family history going back to the Revolution, it's almost as if Air Force veteran, nurse, and writer, Ms. Mary Howe, was genetically predisposed to service. She tells us about choosing enlistment over college, the extensive training pipeline to become an AC-130 gunner, her multiple deployments, and the one mission that convinced her to leave the Air Force.

We also discuss some of the difficulties she faced once back in the civilian sector, finding her nursing niche, reconnecting with her faith, and why her writing is an important outlet for her in moving forward.

Plus, getting dropped in the Gulf of America from 500 feet, staring out of a window for 12 hours straight, the invincibility of youth, and more! An episode so fun we had to record it twice!

In the Free Fire Area, we discuss how our senses can be so powerful in triggering past experiences.

For our third annual Memorial Day episode, Gold Star Mother, Mrs. Christina Kazakavage, joins us in the studio to tell us about her son, Air Force Technical Sergeant Adam Ginnet, who was killed in Afghanistan by an IED.

We talk about her family’s long history of service, why Adam chose the Air Force and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), and the things that he valued most. We also discuss the arduous process of bringing Adam home, the blessings that have come from his passing, Christina's work with the EOD and Gold Star communities, and her passion for remembering and honoring all those who have served their country.

God bless our Gold Star families.
