We're back in the Tracer Burnout studio and sit down with Army veteran, Mr. Joe Campbell. He started his career in the National Guard watching over bunkers in the Utah desert and then decided to go active Army so the fun could really begin!

From Idaho to Germany, to saving lives as a flight medic in combat zones; from surviving a MEDEVAC helicopter crash to never leaving anyone behind; and reuniting with those he saved to being medically retired at the Soldier Recovery Unit; Joe's story is an incredible story of perseverance.

Special thanks to Progressive’s generosity for their Keys to Progress Program.

In the Free Fire Area, we reflect on the seven Army values and which one is the most important in leadership.

In this episode, we welcome Army veteran and fellow podcaster, Mr. Nicholas Allen.

Additionally, he discusses the genesis of his podcast, “Lesser Known Operators.”

In the Free Fire Area, we delve into the world of board games. Dan, a die-hard hater of Monopoly, expresses his loathing of the game, while Roger reveals that he never actually played Mousetrap. We also explore some “lesser known” board games that you might not have heard of!
