EP 9 - Damian Schwab - Flight Paramedic of the Army, Whiskey, Hoist Stuff, and the Old Guard

This week we have Damian Schwab on. We will definitely have to have follow on episodes with this guy as there was just too much to talk about.

Novosel along with the Joint Enroute Care Course for the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Damian also served in the "Old Guard" in Washington D.C. at the beginning of his career. Not to mention the guy has a very impressive Whiskey Room at his house in Enterprise, AL. We didn't even have time to dive into that subject... but more to come...... Enjoy!

EP 8 - Hosts Only - Matt's Rules on Hiker Stench, Planning a Trip to Africa, Dressing Professionally Does Matter, And Other Random Rants

Derek forgot the SD card when he left for an Army school in Texas, so this episode is way late guys. Recorded in January before leaving, this is a hosts only episode where we just get together in Matt's kitchen and talk shop about a very wide range of things. From dressing professionally as a public servant, to blood product admin and Paramedic pay, to why we don't like entitled people bars. This episode truly was all over the place.

He talks about growing up with golf, joining the Air Force to pursue a career in the Fire Service, and his experiences hunting and spending time in the outdoors in Alaska, Montana, South Dakota, and many other places out west.
