A heartfelt episode where Amber and Jesse share their family military histories, discuss PTSD, resilience, leadership lessons from military life, the influence of music, AI concerns, and the importance of reaching out for help. Personal stories range from Iwo Jima and the Alaska Highway to Hell Week, childhood memories, and a life-saving care package.

Hosts Jesse and Amber sit down with Doug Espinosa to share candid, often funny memories of growing up in the military dependent community — from life at the U.S. Embassy and school days in Wiesbaden to AFN, local traditions, and the music and food that defined their youth.

The conversation moves through major moments like 9/11, deployments, and post-service life, touching on careers, community service, mental health, and the challenges of moving and finding work across borders.

Two hosts Amber, and Jesse introduce a podcast for military-connected people to share stories about growing up between bases. In this episode they chat about culture shock, learning languages, life overseas in Japan, Germany and Hawaii, the experience of 9/11 on base, and the bonds and challenges of being a military brat.

They keep the conversation light, tease future guests and episodes, and mention plans for a website and business support services to help veterans and military families.
