About this listen

In this episode of Rebel Vets, host Derek sits down with Dr. Fred Hogan, a Navy veteran and Desert Storm participant, for an engaging and candid conversation. Dr. Hogan shares his journey from a small town in Georgia to joining the Navy at just 17 years old. He recounts his experiences as an aviation machinist mate, including intense deployments aboard the USS Fife during Operation Desert Storm and the challenges of ship life, such as constant rotations and limited family communication. Hogan also opens up about the moment he realized he needed to pivot, which led him to pursue higher education while still in the Navy. After earning a his Bachelors Degree in Business Administration, he transitioned to civilian life, motivated by a desire to be more present for his daughter. Dr. Hogan experienced the boom and bust of the Dot-com Era that led him into a career with the Social Security Administration. During that time he entered into the PhD program with Southeastern University and completed his PhD in Education.
