Every Airman has a story. In this episode, Chaplain Stout interviews Capt Lauren Laffosse, a TACP officer from the 7th Air Support Operations Squadron at Fort Bliss. She tells us how she transitioned into the career field and what she overcame to get there. 

  Kimbrell received her commission in 1998 after graduating from the USAF Academy, later she attended Undergraduate Pilot Training at Laughlin AFB, TX and was awarded her pilot wings in August 1999. She then completed Introduction to Fighter Fundamental training at Randolph AFB, TX in November 1999. In August 2000, she graduated from her initial F-16 training at Luke AFB, Arizona, becoming the first African American female fighter pilot in the USAF.   She was assigned to the 13th Fighter Squadron, Misawa, Japan for her first operational assignment. During this time she was deployed to Turkey and Saudi Arabia in support of Operation Northern and Southern Watch. Her flights in Operation Northern Watch marked her as the first female pilot to fly combat missions for Misawa's 35th Fighter Wing. Additionally, during Operation Northern Watch she became the first African American female pilot to employ ordnance in combat.   In July 2004, she graduated from the Joint Fire Control Course and was assigned to the 15th Air Support Operations Squadron. Later she deployed as the 2nd Brigade Air Liaison Officer in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.   In June 2007, Kimbrell was assigned to the 31st Fighter Wing, Aviano AB Italy where she served as Assistant Director of Operations for the 555 Fighter Squadron.   In 2009, Kimbrell relocated to 6th Combat Training Squadron, Nellis AFB where she served as the Course Manager for the Air Liaison Officer Qualification Course and an instructor. From this assignment she separated from active duty Air Force and transitioned to the Air Force Reserves in Oct 2013.   Beginning October 2013, Kimbrell served as an MQ-9 Pilot and Mission Commander for the 78th Attack Squadron out of Creech Air Force Base, Nevada.

In this episode, Chaplain Stout interviews the command team of the 15th Air Support Operations Squadron to learn how they give themselves breathing room to recharge during the holidays.

On this week's episode of the Ones Ready podcast, we sit down with Ben and Cody who are Air National Guard TACPs and discuss what some of the differences are between USAF Active Duty and Air National Guard. We go into detail about the transition from Active Duty to Air National Guard, how someone can go straight into the Guard if desired, and what daily life is like as a Guard member. Though this is focused on TACPs, much of the Air National Guard nuances translate directly over to the Guard Special Tactics Squadrons. Each until in the Air National Guard handles their recruitment process differently in both the Special Tactics Squadron and Air Support Operations Squadron realms.

The boys welcomed Jarred Taylor, the CEO of Article 15 Clothing, Business Manager of Black Rifle Coffee Company, Leadslinger Whiskey, Co-host of Drinkin' Bros Podcast and Producer of movies. Sounds like a lot of hats doesn't it?? Well it is, and he handles it all. JT grew up in the Pacific Northwest. After graduating from North Kitsap High School, he shipped off to Air Force basic training to become a Munitions Systems Apprentice. He wanted something much more combat-related and opted to go through the process to become a Tactical Air Control Party Specialist (TACP). After graduating from the TACP Apprentice course, JT went on to the U.S. Army Airborne School and SERE, and finally got stationed at Fort Bragg, NC, at the 14th Air Support Operations Squadron. He deployed to OIF in 2005 in support of the 18th ABN Corps, 172nd Stryker BDE, and the 3rd Special Forces Group. While there, JT supported combat operations on the streets of Mosul, Iraq, acting as the ground liaison between the Army and the Air Force engaging the enemy with air to ground munitions. Two years later, JT deployed to Baghdad, Iraq, in support of the 82nd Airborne Division. During that deployment, he earned an AFCOM/Valor device for heroic actions on the battlefield. Later in his Air Force career, he became a TACP tech school instructor while stationed at Hurlburt Field, FL. There, JT conducted over 3500 hours of instruction and graduated roughly 350 brand new TACP students during his four-year tour. Upon leaving the schoolhouse, he was assigned to the 7th Air Support Operations Squadron at Fort Bliss, TX. (-Source- blackriflecoffee.com) Jarred starts off talking of how he met the fellas from Nitro Circus including Ringleader, Travis Pastrana. All about how Travis text him one day and asked him to fly out to California on a whim. So he did. He ended up hanging with guys like Bucky Lasek and more. Pretty cool if you ask us. Jarred said it all was pretty much a whirlwind. He drank with Travis until about 3am and then flew out the next morning. Travis text him a few days later and their friendship has been strong ever since. Jarred talks about how he became involved with Mat Best and how they started doing videos together in 2013 and that's a big reason why all of this had started in the first place. When the boys made the movie "Range 15", Jarred had the idea of creating a Podcast to help promote the movie. So they formed the "Drinkin Bros Podcast" together with Evan Hafer (CEO of Black Rifle Coffee Company), and Ross Patterson (Actor, Author and past HWH Guest). Jarred talks a lot about the guests they have on, why they have certain appearances and their brand new set for the show. The boys all discuss how being in a role of a large podcast, and having a large audience is a big responsibility that can either make or break you. Jarred says that if you turn or say, one thing or another, that may go against your audience, you're done for. We had a blast with Jarred. He's truly a great dude with a ton of success and gives advice for success in today's world. You can visit any of his work at the links below.
