About this episode
Send us a text Air Force Combat Controller Jonathan Howard had a very non-standard path from starting in Services at the mortuary to cross-training, to finally living his dream as a Combat Controller. After a long career of being on a team, Jonathan wanted to find a way to give back to the Combat Control career field and found his way to the First There Foundation. The First There Foundation (https://www.1stthere.org/) is a passionate 501(c)(3) non-profit organization devoted to supporting all Combat Controllers during life’s most challenging moments. We understand the pain of feeling abandoned and aimless and the profound grief of losing a cherished one. First There Foundation's mission is to offer wide-ranging assistance, covering mental, financial, career, and substance abuse support for the Combat Controller community. Please check out the First There Foundation and consider donating to this amazing organization. 00:00 Peaches opens up by threatening the monetization of the video 01:00 How do our AFSPECWAR skills actually transfer to the real world? 12:30 Don't stress about tomorrow, 17:30 Jonathan's Background, pipeline, and finally getting a shot 46:50 Being scared of your instructors and STTS smoke sessions 58:00 First There Foundation 1:16:20 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 ...
