We'll dive into the founding of MARSOC, the special operations branch of the Marine Corps, and hear Cody's candid thoughts on military leadership, the impact of service on personal life, and his unexpected transition to civilian life.

With unflinching honesty, Cody details his personal battles, from being on the KIA list to the psychological toll of warfare, and recounts a particularly harrowing encounter during the battle of Fallujah. Beyond the battlefield, Cody confronts societal issues, including his views on media influence and the need to foster critical thinking in our youth.

Unfortunately, this week the aviation world lost a pillar of the community. Richard McSpadden tragically lost his life in a general aviation mishap on Sunday October 1st. I was fortunate to have been able to talk "Spad" and capture a few of those moments in the podcast. This episode was initially released as #57 back in November of 2022. Lt Col (Ret) Richard "Spad" McSpadden is the Senior Vice President of AOPA's Air Safety Institute.  Prior to his time at AOPA, "Spad" lead large efforts in the IT industry after serving 20 years in the Air Force.  His Air Force career began with him flying the F-15C and he would later become the Commander and Flight Leader of the USAF Thunderbirds.

Three years ago, on September 5th, Chief Warrant Officer 5 Joseph Rosamond was the pilot in command of a California Air National Guard CH-47 that rescued hundreds of trapped campers in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The campers were cut off and surrounded by wildfires.  The actions of CW5 Rosamond, his crew, and a fellow UH-60 Blackhawk crew risked their lives to land and recover 242 individuals in the Mammoth Pools.  Despite local, state, and Homeland Security officials advising against them attempting a rescue they pressed forward, knowing they might not return. For their actions, the 7 crew members were awarded Distinguished Flying Crosses.

 

This episode originally aired back in 2020.   Stay tuned for a follow-up interview with CW5 Rosamond.  Check out our newsletter: https://bit.ly/AfterburnNewsletter
