Changing the Narrative with Cecil Grant Jr‪.‬ Cecil A. Grant Jr

I just returned from my 40th class reunion at the Air Force Academy. The reunion was great but the state of the academy makes me wonder where the standards went. Beards, long hair on men and women and zero table manners are just a few of the issues I discuss in this highly anticipated episode. The new commandant says he’s a standards guy. Can he change the slipping academy standards or is it too late to save this institution created to train and develop military leaders? For those who were at USAFA in September, what did you see and feel or do you even care? Let me know if I’m correct in my assessment or way off base. Don’t be afraid to join the discussion.

In this episode I talk about Constitution Day and present a breakdown of the preamble that was provided to me by a friend who graduated from the United States Air Force Academy in 1983. Perhaps if we understood the preamble we’d understand the significance of this day in history and our Constitution. Worth listening to every year.

In the world today we are being told to believe the most important thing is the color of our skin, not the content of our character. In this episode I do a deep dive into Martin Luther King Jr’s “I Have a Dream” speech specifically, the quote of wanting a nation that would judge his kids not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. This is an episode that’s very important; you don’t want to miss it. Remembering his speech given 60 years ago today.

In this episode I discuss with Amy Haywood, a military spouse, how the military is working to take control of your children. The school system and the medical apparatus want your children to make their own decisions about all sorts of things while keeping you in the dark. Listen to a father in the Navy be told the Navy wants to circumvent his rights as a parent. This is an important and informative episode you need to hear and share with family and friends who are in the military. As Amy says, we need to fight as if our children’s lives depend on it.
