So we started the evening out dumping out some of Brandon's acquired gear from the Army before he retired and there was a lot of stuff, not to mention that we only scratched the surface of what he has colleting dust in his basement.
How in the world we started talking about the birds and the bees and the rise of technology all at the same time? We sure did, and we compared our time as children to what todays children have to deal with when it comes to having any information that you could ever dream of in the palm of your hand every day
Brandon talks about the technology used in the Army while forward deployed in the radio operations center and all the ways that they can listen in on anyone having a conversation. Did you know that text messaging has been a thing for many decades prior to being in the hands of everyone, this went from Brandons personal story of such use to a story that John remembered reading about from a long time ago. No need to guess about it just take a listen.
The notorious Alaskan Bush Company was also discussed and while two of the three members of the squad here haven't ever been it sounds like a down right crazy place, towards the end of the episode and an establishment that sounds pretty wild to check out.
As always we love entertaining you guys, if you love what we're doing please consider becoming a monthly donor which you can do on the Anchor or Spotify app. We appreciate you all!
Grunts in Appalachia Out!
