FW 001: About Me and What to Expect From Forever Wingman

Originally published on Oct 19, 2016

 Welcome to episode number 1!!!! It has been a long time coming!

 First, I wanted to introduce myself so you know who is behind the microphone. Then I’ll go over what you can expect from the Forever Wingman Podcast and Website.

 All About Me!

Starts: 00:51

I’m from Texhoma, OK...a very small town in the panhandle, just north of Amarillo, TX. I’m married to my beautiful wife, Allie, and we have 2 amazing boys, Noah and Gabe.

I joined the Air Force directly out of High School and was stationed at RAF Lakenheath, United Kingdom; Kadena AB, Okinawa, Japan; and Langley AFB, Hampton, VA.

 I had the privilege of being in the 1C3X1 - Command Post and 3E7X1 - Fire Protection AFSCs.

 After I separated from the Air Force, I was an Air Reserve Technician (ART) and Reservist at Dobbins ARB, Marietta, GA.

 Following my time in GA, I worked for FEMA in an  operations center (much like an Air Force Command Post) with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in Denton, TX.

In short, the Air Force has given me just about everything I have...education, my wife (met her on deployment to Savannah, GA), and my current job! I will always be thankful for what the Air Force has done for me.

All About Forever Wingman!

Starts: 10:07

Forever Wingman came to existence because there just wasn’t that much information about what life was like in the Air Force for people thinking of joining. I wanted to solve that problem.

 I plan to provide content through:

 Individual Job pages. Each AFSC has a dedicated page with description, ASVAB requirements, CCAF Degrees, YouTube videos, and more. I created these to help you research what jobs are available to you and which ones meet your career goals.

 FW Blog. The blog is my way to provide some of that “technical” information that will benefit you along your journey of joining the Air Force. Topics will range, but I’d love to hear what you would like to see. Hit me up!

 FW YouTube Page (Subscribe). Here I’ll be interviewing Airmen and Veterans who have the knowledge about the AFSCs that you want. Also, much like the blog, I’ll be discussing topics and answering questions that are important to you. Reach out to me and we’ll get you pointed in the right direction. Don’t forget to subscribe and leave an honest review!
