Current military service members, veterans, military spouses, aspiring future military members, and those want to learn more about our outstanding military community- Fall in! It’s time for formation!On this podcast, we help connect and advise our military community with available educational, entrepreneurship, and career resources/opportunities by conducting interviews with various industry leaders. Unfortunately, many within our own military community are unaware of the numerous opportunities available, so TMF thrives to fill that void, which in turn, helps improve the military-to-civilian career transition.TMF strongly believes that an improved transition will assist with lowering the current, heightened military suicide rate and lessen the chances of broken relationships, after wearing the uniform. Mentorship, coaching, and making an impact does not stop after service, so tune-in and meet some of the most influential groundbreakers looking to help our community level-up!Stay tuned, stay focused, and stay motivated!

The Morning Formation Podcast is an absolute gem for anyone interested in military stories and experiences. Hosted by KP, a Vietnam veteran himself, this podcast provides a platform for veterans from all branches and eras to share their personal stories. As a spouse of a military retiree and mother of an infantry officer, I have always been fascinated by the stories of those who have served, and this podcast offers a truly unique opportunity to hear directly from the individuals who lived through these experiences.
One of the best aspects of The Morning Formation Podcast is the variety of guests that are featured. From World War II veterans to those who served in more recent conflicts, each episode offers a different perspective and insight into military life. KP does an excellent job of guiding the conversation and allowing his guests to freely share their stories, resulting in compelling and often emotional interviews. It is inspiring to hear about the challenges they faced, the camaraderie they formed, and the lessons they learned during their time in service.
Additionally, KP himself is a fantastic host with his warm and engaging personality. He brings his own personal experiences to the table, sharing snippets of his own story throughout each episode. This adds an extra layer of authenticity and connection for listeners as they get to know KP on a deeper level. It's clear that he genuinely cares about each guest and wants to provide them with a space to be heard.
While it's difficult to find any major flaws with The Morning Formation Podcast, one minor aspect that could be improved upon is sound quality. There are moments when the audio can be slightly unclear or muffled, which can be distracting at times. However, this small issue does not detract from the overall enjoyment or content of the podcast.
In conclusion, The Morning Formation Podcast is an incredible resource for anyone interested in military stories and experiences. It offers a platform for veterans to share their personal journeys and provides listeners with a deeper understanding of what it means to serve. KP's hosting skills and the diverse range of guests make each episode a captivating and insightful experience. I highly recommend subscribing to this podcast for a regular dose of inspiration, connection, and gratitude for our military community.
