Sense Than Erik King

Sense Than Episode #3 I talk with John Walsh who served with me during OEF. We were deployed to Logar Province Afghanistan for several months. I try to catch up with him in his current life.   Everyone has many thoughts and feelings on Afghanistan, I talk with Walsh who has seen what Afghanistan has to offer the Soldiers that go there. No topic is untouched as we dive back into the past one last time to discuss the current and previous events there.  Life can be hard for all but harder for some. John gave his all for his fellow Soldiers and left a piece of himself in the process. Yet he still chose to fight hard to survive in the harshest of conditions to ensure he was there. I truly appreciate all the knowledge he had passed to me through the years. I hope he can shed some light on your life like he has mine. 

Thank you to the websites that honor our heroes and keep the memory of these brave Soldiers alive.

Episode #2 of the Sense Than podcast is focused on my old friend London. We served together for many years and had always had great conversations, so naturally, he is here to share his experiences on the Military deployments, L.E.O and Firefighting. He has a multitude of skills and is one of the most professional individuals I know. I hope you enjoy this content.


The first video reference is below. This is the infamous Cav Scout recruiting video. This video is a quick 2-minute sneak peek into the "daily life" of Cavalry Scout. I feel like I have heard countless stories of people falling in love with the job from this video. This was a gross mischaracterization of the actual job skill. So I laughed at the first take of this video. So check it out.

This is the updated recruiting video. This is more what the actual Cavalry Scout training looks like.
