“You’re not gonna make it here.”

Army veteran and host of The Strategic Veteran Podcast, Mr. Adam Peters, swings through the Tracer Burnout studio to tell us all about the highs and lows of a military career cut short by injuries (and possibly malpractice). From growing up in rural Indiana and being rejected by other military branches to multiple combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and from leadership challenges to overcoming his own inner struggles, Mr. Peters’ story of service is exciting and inspiring. Plus AI, Skynet, the van life, and a whole lot more!

In the Free Fire Area, Dan and Roger discuss tech advancements that were promised decades ago but still haven't been delivered. Who wants a flying car anyway?

Army Veteran and fellow podcaster, Mr. Leo Bañuelos, joins us in the Tracer Burnout Studio for this Quick Hit - and he brought tequila! He tells us about the training exercise that ended his career prematurely, how he got into podcasting, some of the challenges of being a one-man operation, and why sometimes the only option is to “keep going in wet boots.”

Our first Korean War veteran, Mr. Bobby Lambert, joins us in-studio to tell us about his experiences in the Forgotten War.

He tells us about being rejected by the Navy, his mother signing him up for the Army, cold weather training in Japan, and freezing his tail off in Korea.

From sniper fire to Pork Chop Hill and from checking for booby traps to delayed onset PTSD and dreaming of becoming an engineer, Mr. Lambert has lived his life to the fullest.

In the Free Fire Area, Roger inquires about the greatest living screen actor, and Dan praises a remarkably underrated talent.
