PFFL -#85 - SFC (R) Josey Huffman - Blackhawk Company 1-23IN
4 JUL. 2024 · We have another excellent veteran transition story to share just in time for the Fourth of July.
Today's guest is Josey Huffman (https://www.linkedin.com/in/josey-huffman-cm-od/). He currently works for the Strategic Resiliency Group (https://www.srgadaptive.com/). We discuss his transition story and the moves and decision-making he used when transitioning from active duty into the reserves to AGR (Active Guard/Reserves) and then to his new opportunity.
Josey is one of the many warriors I served with whom will be highlighted in SSG (R) Joe Troutman's book, which we discussed in Episode #77 (https://www.spreaker.com/episode/pffl-e-77-joe-troutman-blackhawk-company-1-23--58951819).
I think this is a great conversation. For the listeners out there, it isn't easy to spend so much time away from those you served, but for those who know the comradery from serving, it was like we never left.

PFFL -#83- OIF 1.5 Interviews
20 JUN. 2024 · It's hard to believe that it has been 20 years since my first deployment. In Honor of the Soldiers in BlackHawk Company 1-23IN out of Fort Lewis, I have compiled a collection of interviews from Mosul from 20034.
My FSNCO SSG (R) Troutman is writing a book to detail the critical points of the deployment. You can find some of the info on (https://www.facebook.com/SSGTROUTMAN), and the book will be released on 4 August 2024.
You can also hear more about Joe and his story in Episode #77 of this show.
(https://www.spreaker.com/episode/pffl-e-77-joe-troutman-blackhawk-company-1-23--58951819)
I hope you enjoy these. This is a much younger version of myself, but the danger of that day was very much real, and the soldiers around me rose to the occasion as they always did. I would like to publicly thank them and all veterans for their service to the nation and each other.

PFFL -#78 - LTG (R) Daniel Bolger- Remastered
19 MAR. 2024 · This is a re-master from one of my other shows that I no longer produce, but I think this is an insightful discussion that would interest the Frontline Audience. Please Enjoy this Discussion with LTG (Retired) Daniel Bolger.
Daniel P. Bolger, of Aurora, Illinois, is an author, historian, and retired Lieutenant General (promoted on 21 May 2010) of the United States Army. He teaches military History at North Carolina State University, where he holds a special faculty appointment.
https://mwi.westpoint.edu/daniel-p-bolger/
Lt. Gen. Bolger retired in 2013 from the Army. During his 35 years of service, he earned five Bronze Star Medals (one for valor) and the Combat Action Badge. His notable military commands included serving as Commanding General of the Combined Security Transition Command in Afghanistan and Commander of the NATO Training Mission in Afghanistan (2011–2013), Commanding General of the 1st Cavalry Division at Fort Hood, Texas (deployed to Baghdad, 2009–2010); the Coalition Military Assistance Training Team in Iraq (2005–06); and U.S. Army Assistant Chief of Staff for Operations.
He also authored books such as Why We Lost, Americans at War, The Battle for Hunger Hill, Death Ground, and The Panzer Killers.
