Season 2 Intro

Introduction to the focus of Season 2 of The Live Here Serve Here Podcast. In this season, SSG Limon will interview Officers and Warrant Officers who previously served as enlisted personnel.

Episode 006 | Sergeant Brittany White, Kansas Army National Guard

In this episode, I interview a younger Soldier just starting her time as a Non-Commissioned Officer, Sergeant Brittany White. SGT White enlisted when she was 17 and still in high school under the Split Option Program. She is currently a full-time college student at Washburn University. SGT White and I talk about using service in the Army National Guard to pay for postsecondary education, being a female in the military, and how her service has made her stronger physical, mentally, and emotionally.

Episode 005 | Sergeant Nick Ledet, Infantryman, Kansas Army National Guard

In this episode I interview my buddy, SGT Nick Ledet. Nick is an Infantryman, but over the past year has been on Active Duty Operational Support orders with the Army National Guard state Human Resources Department. Nick is also an avid distance runner and a member of the Kansas National Guard Marathon Team.

Episode 004 | Christopher Peterson, former Specialist, Kansas Army National Guard

Finally got to record with one of the Soldiers who I initially had in mind when brainstorming the podcast. In this episode SSG Limon talks with Christoper Peterson about how he turned a single 6 year enlisted contract, and the benefits and skills therein, into a highly successful career in Cybersecurity.
