Ep 257: Combat Controller, First There Foundation's Jonathan Howard

Send us a text

Air Force Combat Controller Jonathan Howard had a very non-standard path from starting in Services at the mortuary to cross-training, to finally living his dream as a Combat Controller. 

After a long career of being on a team, Jonathan wanted to find a way to give back to the Combat Control career field and found his way to the First There Foundation. 

The First There Foundation (https://www.1stthere.org/) is a passionate 501(c)(3) non-profit organization devoted to supporting all Combat Controllers during life’s most challenging moments. We understand the pain of feeling abandoned and aimless and the profound grief of losing a cherished one. 

First There Foundation's mission is to offer wide-ranging assistance, covering mental, financial, career, and substance abuse support for the Combat Controller community.

Please check out the First There Foundation and consider donating to this amazing organization.
