EPISODE 01 | Oftentimes, members of the veteran community get more credit for knowledge of the Constitution than we deserve. Too many raise their right hands and swear an oath without even having read the Constitution. In this episode, founders Ellen Gustafson, Ben Keiser (USMC), Jeremy Butler (USN) and Joe Plenzler (USMC) test their knowledge against the test questions on the U.S. Government's test for citizenship. Have a listen and see if you can beat them with your knowledge of the United States in this fun and humorous episode. In this series, we explore what it means to be a citizen, what veterans and their families can do to uphold the values the Constitution following military service, and provide ways veterans can get involved in helping create a more perfect union. We're all in this together, so it's important for every American to know their rights, their responsibilities as citizens, and how their government is supposed to work so we can engage productively to help bring about the best version of America. • Available on 🍎Apple Podcast: https://tr.ee/PzKHXtQ166 🎙️Spotify: https://tr.ee/y0FY3shbGL • • #VettedConversations #CivicEngagement

Our latest podcast episode is all about the books that have shaped our views on human performance. There were a few predictable ones on practical strength and conditioning, but the list contains a surprising number of books more focused on things like culture, cognition, mental health, and philosophy. MOPs & MOEs began with a focus on GEN (Ret) Stephen Townsend's guidance to "change the fitness culture of the force" so it's fitting that we also regularly discuss how to modernize the industry that supports the military in this space. Drew Hammond MS, CSCS discussed his journey over ten years in military strength and conditioning, and how he had to discard many of the "fundamental" frameworks he was taught. If you're looking for some reading suggestions, or even if you're just curious about what ideas have shaped our perspectives, tune in! #military #tactical #strengthandconditioning #fitness #health #wellness #reading #podcast #army #marines #navy #airforce #spaceforce #h2f #acft #humanperformance
