Hey everyone, thank you for plugging into another week of the Cal Component.

Join me as we explore the major launching point for not only my military career, but for the rest of my life. Notice: While I usually do try to avoid it, this episode has some explicit language in order to capture the emotion of certain events and situations. Listener discretion is advised.
