More Than the Uniform

Have you ever wondered what it’s like - I mean really like - to serve in the military? Have you been too intimidated to ask? Think you know it all from movies and the media? Tune in each month to unplug and connect with two military vets and their guests on a new podcast, Service Unplugged, as they discuss life, service, and the bridges between the veteran and civilian worlds. They have more in common than we think… at least our hosts sure hope so, because they recently left the military and have to adjust to their new lives! In this first episode, Sara and Natalie share their personal journeys of how they joined the military, their experiences during their careers, and hopes for their new podcast. This is a public episode.
