PASSION : We know that Kentucky bourbon has a devoted following and that the second amendment has a large and diverse group of supporters, so we combined the two to create 2A Bourbon (Second Amendment Bourbon). PURPOSE : Our desire is to help organizations that support our military, first responders, and organizations that fight for our freedoms. We are giving proceeds from the sales of every bottle to Folds of Honor and 2nd Amendment Foundation and we will be adding more.  We are also supporting Ruck Walks and events across the country to support suicide prevention in the military and other causes that offer help for our military, and first responder's families.

This interoperability is crucial for adapting to future military engagements that may differ significantly from past conflicts. Career Insights and Personal Growth: The episode offers personal anecdotes and reflections on a career in military medicine, highlighting the rewards, educational opportunities, and sense of camaraderie that come with military service. These insights provide valuable guidance for young listeners considering a career in this field. Collaboration Across Military and Civilian Sectors: Emphasizing a whole-of-nation approach, the episode discusses the importance of collaboration between military and civilian medical personnel to enhance the health, strength, and survivability of warfighters. This collaboration ensures comprehensive support for service members, preparing them for whatever future challenges may arise.   Keywords Military Medicine, Joint Staff Surgeon Office, Enlisted Voice, Defense Health Agency, Service Branches, Joint and Interoperable Medical Operations, Purple Suit Mentality, Future Conflicts, Preventive Medicine, Warfighters, Military Engagements, Training, Enlisted Medics, Corpsmen, Iraq, Afghanistan, COVID-19, Air Force, Public Health, Occupational Health, Leadership, Collaboration, Military Healthcare, Generals, Strategic Needs, Personal Growth, Community Support #MilitaryMedicine #EnlistedLeadership #JointOperations #ProactiveMedicine #WarfighterHealth #HealthcareInnovation #PreventiveCare #MilitaryHealthcare #LeadershipDynamics #DefenseHealthAgency   Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine The WarDocs Mission is to honor the legacy, preserve the oral history, and showcase career opportunities, unique expeditionary experiences, and achievements of Military Medicine.

On the US culture wars, then and now. Historian Andrew Hartman, author of A War for the Soul of America, talks to Alex about how US Americans have been sorted into cultural camps over the past fifty years. We discuss: Who started it? And who perpetuates it? What is the "culture" in the culture war? And is it a war, or a series of skirmishes? Is there something particularly American about culture wars? The culture wars have followed the breakup of liberalism – so, what comes next? Do culture wars necessarily presuppose identity politics?

https://youtube.com/live/ugkL1xsjHSw When Joe Satriani was announced as part of Sammy Hagar's Best Of All Worlds Tour – seen by many as the closest thing to a Van Halen tribute – he embarked on a lengthy journey to perfect his tone for the role. Satriani admitted his usual rig wasn't up to the task, so he created a new setup to capture the essence of Eddie Van Halen's iconic sound. This included collaborating with 3rd Power to develop a tube amp inspired by Eddie's Marshall and modifying stock EVH Frankie guitars with speed knobs, Sustainer pickups, and other tweaks. As Satriani shared in Guitarist, these modifications were essential, as he initially struggled with the Frankenstein guitar, finding it nearly unplayable. “I tried seven Frankensteins and had to rely on the shop owner's advice on how they sounded. The one that works for me now didn't sound great right out of the box.” When Joe Satriani first picked up the Frankenstein guitar, he found it "lifeless" and struggled to keep it in tune. It took him two weeks of constant adjustments to make it playable. To solve these issues, Satriani reached out to Eddie Van Halen's former guitar techs for advice on optimizing the design. They shared their techniques, like filing down specific parts, adjusting screws, and making tweaks to improve tuning stability. Taking creative liberties, Satriani adapted the guitar to his needs, even replacing the pickup with a Sustainiac to handle a variety of songs from Van Halen, Chickenfoot, and his own catalog. "I didn't have time to switch guitars between songs, so I made each one work for multiple things," Satriani explained. Despite facing criticism from some fans for altering such an iconic instrument, Satriani embraced the challenge, even joking that Eddie might haunt him for it. His modifications paid off, and he's now confidently playing Eddie's parts on the Best Of All Worlds tour. To prepare, Satriani didn't just revamp his gear—he also studied how other guitarists interpreted Eddie Van Halen's legendary style. “Exclusively Van Halen" is the ultimate destination for all things Van Halen. Step into the world of rock and roll legends as we delve deep into the history, music, and trivia surrounding one of the most iconic bands of all time. Join us as we explore Van Halen's storied career, from their electrifying performances to the making of their timeless hits. Get to know the band members, their inspirations, and the stories behind the songs that have rocked generations. But that's not all – tune in for exciting giveaways where you can win exclusive Van Halen merchandise and more. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just discovering the magic of Van Halen, this show promises to keep you entertained, informed, and rocking out from start to finish. Get ready to jump into the world of "Exclusively Van Halen" and experience the music like never before. We talk all things Van Halen!

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the busy season that is upon us; we have several MBA admissions deadlines upcoming this week; Georgetown / McDonough and Johns Hopkins / Carey have their Early Action round deadlines. Stanford, Michigan / Ross, Columbia, Yale SOM, INSEAD, Northwestern / Kellogg and Berkeley / Haas have their Round 1 application deadlines. The Clear Admit “Inside the MBA Admissions Process” event series begins this week and runs for three weeks, on September 11th, 18th and 25th. Our first event includes INSEAD, London Business School, UPenn / Wharton, Emory / Goizueta and Michigan / Ross. Signups are here: https://bit.ly/insidemba Graham highlighted recent news from GMAC, which is launching a new writing exam, now that the AWA element of the traditional GMAT test has been eliminated. We discussed Harvard admissions team's desire to see a writing sample for all its candidates. Graham then highlighted several admissions-related articles that have been recently published on Clear Admit. They include admissions tips focused on GMAT and GRE test waivers (don't if you are able to take a test) and MBA programs which don't require the test (we still encourage candidates to take a test). Admissions tips that focus on video essays, which are becoming more popular, and the need to avoid comparing your target MBA program with other programs, through the admissions process. Finally, Graham noted an in-depth survey of visa requirements for international MBA students who plan to study outside their home country. Graham highlighted three Adcom Q&As, from IMD, Vanderbilt / Owen and Cornell / Johnson. We then discussed two recently published class profiles. UCLA / Anderson experienced an incredible 41% increase in application volume last season, and Duke / Fuqua was able to recruit a class where female enrolment eclipsed 50% for the first time. Both these class profiles are very impressive. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries and a Question from LiveWire: This week's first MBA admissions candidate is going to be sponsored for their MBA by a “big 4” consulting firm. They appear to have done very well at work, and they also have a very good profile for sustainability initiatives. Their numbers, 3.3 GPA and 690 GMAT, are a potential area of concern. This week's second MBA candidate enlisted in the military straight out of high school. Once they completed their military service they started their undergraduate degree at a community college, they have now transferred to Stanford, and are studying Mechanical Engineering. We anticipate they have a very interesting “lived experience” that may play well in MBA admissions. The final MBA candidate for this week posed a question on MBA LiveWire regarding their reapplication process. They are planning to retake the GRE, as well as transition to a new job. The question is whether to apply in Round 1 or Round 2. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA. Thanks to all of you who've been joining us and please remember to rate and review this show wherever you listen!
