A round came through the wall inches from his entire team. That's the first two minutes.

Episode 1 of the Eagle Ops Rally Point podcast: Jeremiah "Sixkiller" Cheatwood tells the story he's never told on camera — small-town kid turned 82nd Airborne paratrooper, watching 9/11 unfold during training, then jumping into the 2003 invasion of Iraq through Ramadi, Fallujah, and Baghdad, where he turned 21 at war. Unfiltered, honest, and at times darkly funny.

Jeremiah is now an Outreach Manager at Eagle Ops, helping veterans navigate life after service. Support the mission:

🇺🇸 VETERAN RESOURCES:

If you or a family member need access to free resources, Shep and his team have put together the Top 5 Veteran Resources Guide here:

https://resources.eagleops.org/eagle-ops--veteran-resource-guide-funnel

This one's for the veteran support organizations and businesses of Oklahoma.

In this solo episode of the Rally Point Podcast, Shep from the Eagle Ops Foundation breaks down okveteranscalendar.com — a single, statewide calendar built so every veteran, service member, and their family has ONE place to find out what's happening in their community.

If your organization or business does anything for veterans and their families — a monthly meeting, an annual fundraiser, a weekly event — this is how you get it seen across every town and city in Oklahoma. And it's completely free.

Shep walks through exactly how it works and what you get:

- Post any veteran-focused event in minutes (title, times, RSVP, flyers, logos)

- Your own organization venue and tag on the calendar

- Admin access for your whole team to control and update your events

- Embed the calendar right on your website via a simple RSS feed

- Community members can submit your events — and your admin approves them

- One-click sharing to Facebook, Instagram, text, and email

The goal is simple: one stop, one place, so anyone in any Oklahoma community can find what's going on and connect with like-minded people who've "been there and done that." Post your events. We'll help promote them.

👉 Go to okveteranscalendar.com to submit an event or request your organization's page.

You've earned more than a thank you for your service — you've earned your benefits. Shep breaks down how VA claims actually work, why clickbait claims companies can cost you up to 50% of your earned benefits, and the three things that make a claim get approved.
