Finance Hacks, Adulting, & Robotic Arthroscopic Surgery Mar 05, 2020

Show notes

Money is hard. Adulting is hard. That's why we have in an expert on the subject to help the crew (and you) get back on financial track. Plus we talk to two Army surgeons who work side-by-side with robots to turn Soldiers into the cyber warriors of the future that we've all been warned about! Ok, actually they work with robots to perform perfect knee and hip replacement surgery on wounded warriors and vets... but it could happen! And Biranna says goodbye as she heads to Europe.

Making a Drill Sergeant & Harmonica Nose to Mouth Jam Feb 27, 2020

Show notes

We get the inside scoop on drill sergeanting as two drills take us behind the yell. Charlie turns the tables on Cole Johnson from KCEN 6 News Waco, who gets to experience a little personal drill sergeant magic of his own. Brianna jams with a Soldier who can play the harmonica nasal-style, and Blair reviews the movies Harley Quinn and Sonic the Hedgehog. Dave is missing but has been replaced by a picture of himself taped to a stick.

Coronavirus & Politics Feb 20, 2020

Show notes

The greatest military podcast known to man, woman, child, beast, or respective pronoun speaks with experts about COVID-19 (coronavirus) and get's the Army angle on what's what and how to stay safe. Then it's down the merry road of politics in the military and the pitfalls and pratfalls that lay in wait for the unsuspecting Soldier who mouths off in the wrong place. Finally, Brianna fails spectacularly at playing flute.

The LOVE Episode + Apologies in Advance to the Great State of Arkansas Feb 13, 2020

Show notes

February 13, 2020

Dave Larsen, Charlie Maib, SPC Brianna Doo, PFC Kaden Pitt, CPL Zach Smiley, Chaplain (Col.) Brian Chepey, Chaplain (Maj.) Jim Ramsey.

The greatest military podcast known to man, woman, child, beast, or respective pronoun looks hard and deep at love as it falls off a cliff. We ask the Fort Hood BOSS rep if Soldiers are single, or simply lonely. Then the singing chaplains are back as the the good stuff kicks in and the entire crew go flying over the rainbow. It can't be described... it's simply something you have to experience. Something you have to live through to tell you kids that you were there.

Best Sapper, What’s Wrong with Hollywood, & Brianna’s Never Heard of a Taco Pizza Feb 06, 2020

Show notes

February 06, 2020

Dave Larsen, Charlie Maib, SPC Brianna Doo, 1st Lt. Dominic Larkin, 1st Lt. Spencer Roehr, Blair Dupre, Robo Voice

The greatest military podcast known to man, woman, child, beast, or respective pronoun takes on one of the most pressing issues of our time: what goes good on a pizza. Fort Hood's Rugged Best Sappers call in from their home in Fort Riley, Kansas... what? And a movie review segment with Blair Dupre goes off rails into Hollywood politics, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and if we really even exist. All that plus Charlie lectures the youngins on the importance of physical media over digital media and is called a "boomer".

Fort Hood Public Affairs, SGT Melissa Matey (Louisiana State Police), SGM (Ret) Ken Ware (Calibre), LTC Miranda Craid, CPT Gabby Bloodsaw

Brianna doesn't want to talk about old people stuff and Sporky asks a question.

Deep Cut: Holiday Stress Dec 23, 2019

Show notes

The greatest military podcast known to man, woman, child, beast, or respective pronoun delves into a deeper cut of the interview with Fort Hood Chaplains (Maj.) Jim Ramsey and (Col.) Brian Chepey from their pilot episode. This extended conversation on the nature of religion as well as holiday stress is more musical than you might expect, and swerves into areas you wouldn't expect a military chaplain to traverse.
