Major Dad's- best day ever!

I'm Major Dad, and I host Major Dad's — Best Day Ever! — a podcast about fatherhood, family, and the warrior ethos of showing up for the people who count on you. I served 22 years of active duty across two services — first as an Army UH-1 and UH-60 helicopter pilot, then as an Air Force fighter pilot. I flew the A-10 Warthog in Operation Desert Shield and 55 combat hours in the F-16 Block 50 over Operation Southern Watch. I served as a TACP / Air Liaison Officer embedded with 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, and was selected for Peace Vector IV — a diplomatic mission to Egypt with the Egyptian Air Force. I retired from the Air Force on 1 February 2002 and was rated 100% disabled for cumulative service injuries. I'm a husband, a father, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioner, and a hardstyle kettlebell lifter coached by Shaun Cairns — the first person in the world to complete the StrongFirst Beast Tamer Challenge. I plan on training past 80. On the show I talk with parents, physicians, therapists, athletes, and warriors about what it actually takes to raise a human being and stay in the game long enough to see them grow up. Recovering from surgery, overuse or injury? Recapture Strength is the community where dads get the plan nobody handed them when PT ended. https://www.skool.com/recapture-strength
