2023-02-221h 04Oscar Mike Radio326 – Chris Schafer – Tactical 16 Publishing
As I was talking with Spencer Emch for number 325, I became interested in Tactical 16 Publishing which published, “Time of Flight”. I reached out to Chris Schafer, who is the CEO of Tactical 16 Publishing and we started talking. I liked how the power of writing helped Chris through his journey after transitioning out of the military.
Chris Schafer spent over 25 years in the Army and saw a lot during his service that he worked to deal with on a day-to-day basis. Writing proved to be an effective way to heal from trauma, and Chris wants to share that with...
2023-01-2000 minOscar Mike Radio325 – Spencer Emch – Time of Flight
I opened the cover to “Time of Flight” and began to read with great interest. I like helicopters and Spencer Emch’s experience of being in the U.S. Army as an Apache pilot captivated me.
Spencer’s story isn’t a traditional military book sense in many respects. After reading it through the second time, I liked that Spencer took a different approach to tell his story about the relationship with his fellow pilots and the AH-64 Apache.
I feel at its core, “Time of Flight” is about relationships. There is no “Army of One’. We don’t f...

I know it is a holiday week but didn’t want to pause. 2022 has been a challenging but good year. I am excited as 2022 comes to a close because 2023 means more improvement and more ways to connect people with the amazing things Veterans and our military are doing.A big thank you to my sponsors and supporters, Joyce Asack of Asack Real Estate, and Army National Guard Veteran Mark Holmes of Reaper’s Detailing and Power washing. Your mentorship has helped me grow in so many ways.

Tom Kilgannon was on Oscar Mike Radio for Number 273 (https://oscarmikeradio.com/273-thomas-kilgannon-freedom-alliance/) almost a year ago. He came back to update me on programs, services, and scholarships for children of deceased Veterans. As you will hear, a lot can happen in a year, and it is an exciting time at Freedom Alliance.
Freedom Alliance has partnered with War Heroes on Water to provide deep-sea fishing experience for Combat Veterans and is looking at more ways to expand on the relationships that have been developed. Relationships are the foundation for successful advocacy, and Freedom Alliance has a...
2022-12-2335 minOscar Mike Radio322 – Tina of Ernie’s Mountain Bakery & Café
Tina McCollough joined the Marine Corps in the early 1970s. It was a different time for women in the Marine Corps, but Tina had a great experience in the Marine Corps. Her transition out of the Marine Corps was challenging because the GI Bill was cut off on June 15th, 1977. Tina believes that more should be done to reduce or eliminate the cost of college education, and she talks at length about how change could benefit Veterans.
Ernie’s Mountain Bakery & Café is named after her grandmother Ernestine who instilled a love for food in Tina. Tina has...
2022-12-161h 08Oscar Mike RadioDenisha Montgomery Smith – Discussion with Colonel Wes Martin
This show is about Denisha Montgomery Smith from a larger viewpoint. I have been struggling with questions about why these kinds of situations are tolerated in the military. Especially when a recruiter will tell someone and their family that the military will “take care of them”. Only to experience the worst kind of betrayal when a soldier like Denisha Montgomery Smith dies in a manner that is suspect at best.
Colonel Wesley Martin is U.S. Army Ret. and served our country for over 30 years. He acted several times in his career to punish those who hurt othe...
2022-12-131h 28Oscar Mike Radio321 – Dr. Craig Hansen – University of Applied Research and Development
I had the pleasure of talking with Dr. Hansen in March of 2021 (YouTube Link – https://youtu.be/DBjAYEPeukE).
According to Dr. Hansen, The University of Applied Research & Development is a Veterans Affairs-funded institute of higher learning, allowing active service personnel, veterans, and their families to gain bachelor’s and master’s degrees.
This conversation focused on the Bachelor’s and Master’s Programs for Emergency Response and Risk Management with a focus on Veterans. This program is opening in New Zealand after the pause from COVID-19.
Dr. Hansen believes that Veterans have the skills to p...

I love bonus anything and so it was with great anticipation that I walked into Whole Body Solutions located in Braintree, MA to learn more about holistic health, wellness, and ways to have the body heal.
Dr. Ann Doggett has been practicing holistic health for over 30 years and has an established practice and the experience to understand patients’ needs.
Looking at the Veteran community Dr. Ann wants to encourage Veterans dealing with PTSD and physical injuries to experience a different way to heal. Talking with her after our conversation, she told me more about how mi...

Stride & SaunterEpisode 168: Depictions of WarBecause of the consistent role war has held over the course of human history, its relevance in culture persists. It's worth considering how we discuss, think about and view war, but equally useful to look at how artists and creators depict it and the effects it has. This week, we welcome Travis Partington to look at the forms of media which illustrate war and how they might fixate on certain elements over others. How could we be more conscientious of non-combatant roles? Why do we fixate on the most violent, energetic moments of war? Whose narratives do we recognize and...

Stride & SaunterEpisode 137: A Veteran's TransitionTransitions are often interesting occasions in our lives which force us to confront the self on a critical level and evaluate our apparent trajectories. This is particularly true of military veterans, whose transitions home from military operations of all kinds can be jarring given the stark contrast of military procedures and civilian life. We're particularly grateful to speak with Travis Partington this week about some of his experiences as a Marine and his shift out of the military. How can civilians better welcome and support those making this journey? What do our preconceptions of those in the military suggest about...
