During this Episode Jump School, we will engage in a lively conversation about the years my father served in the United States Army at Fort Campbell, KY – and being selected to be a part of this elite Unit called The 101st Airborne Division – also known as the Screaming Eagles. YES, in the event you are wondering, my father was a bit of a badass who was a part of this special air assault operation in the US Army. Joined by guests Ronald Terrell and Dawnielle Hawley, we will explore the complexities of a black man being a part of this elite Unit of the Army in the 60s, and the challenges my father had to overcome at succeeding in Jump School and earning his coveted Jump Wings. Furthermore, we will engage in an unhinged conversation about this experience and how my father used the lessons learned to navigate through the jumps of life.
