About this episode
Send us a text Jacob Garel, a Senior Master Sergeant, began his Air Force journey as a Tactical Air Control Party Airman. He later cross-trained as a Pararescueman and spent his entire career at the Moffett Guard unit, the 129th Rescue Wing. In our conversation with Jacob, he shares valuable insights into the Guard's hiring process, your first year at the unit, and how to prepare for deployment. He guides us through the entire gamut of a full career in the Guard. However, Jacob's story does not end there. When it was time for him to transition out of the military, he utilized skill bridge and became a marriage/family life counselor. He joins Aaron and Peaches to discuss the entire process of transitioning out of the military and pursuing a career as a counselor. We extend our immense gratitude to Jacob for enlightening us on all things Guard and the diverse career paths available to those who are ready to take the next step. 00:00 Check out Ataclete.com or our page at onesready.com for all your training gear! 01:05 Drinkhoist.com because it works 03:05 SMSgt (ret) Jacob Garel's background 08:20 GDeep diving the Guard hiring process 22:17 Open Ocean Moffet Rescues and the first year at the unit, getting ready to deploy 41:30 Feeling different than the normal population and finding purpose as a marriage counselor 49:25 Skill Bridge Explained, Vocational Rehab, the GI Bill 56:30 Heroic Hearts and plant based medicine for PTSD 59:00 "The Body Keeps the Score", Bessel van der Kolk 1:01:00 Jacob's advice Support the show Join this channel to get access to perks: HERE Buzzsprout Subscription page: HERE Register for our Operator Training Summit: OperatorTrainingSummit.com Collabs: Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLete Danger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADY DFND Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADY Hoist - Promo Code: ONESREADY ...
