EP 69 - Navy vet and retired cop Chris Ruediger and his wife Tina Navigate Sheepdog Mentality

Chris and Tina Rudiger joined the 9-1-WHAT? podcast to discuss their Sheep Dog Marriage podcast, which focuses on couples in the law enforcement industry and military. Chris has served in the US Navy for 26 years, and Tina has been married to him for 32 years. He was a bomb tech for 23 of the 26 years he served and thought becoming a police officer would be safer. They both discussed the difficulties and challenges of being married to a first responder. Chris retired from the Navy in 2013 and tried his hand in the civilian sector for a year, but didn't enjoy it. His wife Tina, tired of seeing him come home looking like a whipped dog, encouraged him to apply for a police academy in Florida. She even got him a plane ticket and running shoes to help him get ready for the test. Chris was able to draw parallels between his time as a bomb tech and his current job as a police officer, as they both involve serving others and the structure and camaraderie that comes with being in uniform.
