He’s back with even more eyebrow-raising hilarity and deep-rooted
conviction. Colonel Jay Clason willingly jumped back in the hot seat at
Terminal Exchange to finish the tale from his last episode’s cliffhanger. Plus,
he’s got more war stories and advice to share.
In the slush of
winter, Jay questions why you learn to put chains on in a warm, dry
environment? And he’s got a more realistic way to train.
And with so many
stories to tell, we jump from tire chains to an encounter with a North American
elephant – that is not a statue, I repeat, it is not a statue, and how visiting
churches and showing up to God appointments throughout the nation has given him
some fantastic stories to tell.
From conversations
in American cabs to conversations on the hoods of Humvees in communist
countries, come close, because Jay has some stories to tell.
