Paul Comeau and I chat about his military career and what he has learned along the way. We also chat about SAR, what the flying life is all about, and a potential first trade that i have not recommended before. Paul is a great advocate for the military and it’s worth listening to his advice.

This was originally recorded in 2021 and in honour of one of our fallen; Alfred Bar (R.I.P Mar 08/2017). We talk about life, joining the military, and Joe shares some good stories. Including one of a particularly bad parachute exit. It brings in perspective the danger of the job but also the value of excellent training.

Joe is to be the next course NCO, a very loving human, knowledgeable SAR tech, and good friend. There is a lot shared in the episode and i hope you enjoy it.

To Al:

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,

And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

RESCUE!!!!!

Im back! This time with some funny stories from Cookie, a SAR Tech from course 42. My episodes are sporadic but I've appreciated the on going support from everyone. I balance my personal, work, and "other" time so what i put out is what i can reasonably manage at this time. Im still very dedicated to improving this resource for people and sharing what i can about the Rescue world.

In keeping with that theme I have a workout program for you to check out or share. It is a well rounded program that hits on each aspect of fitness. The program can be blended with others or followed strictly. Check out "Everyday Operator"

Whether you're aspiring to become a SAR Tech or just curious about the training process, this conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most demanding aspects of the program.

Enjoy, and thank you for listening
