About this listen
In this episode of the Rebel Vets Podcast, host Derek sits down with his longtime friend Randy, a newly retired Air Force veteran. Randy shares his journey from growing up in Hazlett, New Jersey, to enlisting in the Air Force in 2001, just before 9/11. Originally drawn by a desire to travel and work with his hands, Randy's career took him across the globe—from Okinawa and South Korea to Italy and England. He reflects on learning aircraft maintenance, embracing life abroad, meeting his wife, and adapting to various assignments. The two discuss the challenges of his final post in Mountain Home, Idaho, and Randy's determination to complete his education, earning a master’s degree by the end of his service. It's an inspiring conversation about military life, personal growth, and the transition into civilian life—highlighting the many layers of the veteran experience.
