My interview with SGM Mike Vining (SGM Mike Vining @ Blasting Through Official) Next weekend, the EOD Community will gather in Florida to remember our fallen. People will travel from all over the world to raise a glass to our friends who have left us and be with the community. I promised that leading up to the event I would post some interviews that I had done with members of EOD family. SGM Mike Vining is a national treasure. He is a founding member of Delta Force, but what most people dont know is that he got his start as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician. This interview really focuses on that position of his life and career. I hope that you will give it a watch.

It's the best time of the week! Time for another episode of It's A Blast Podcast! This week, I am talking to SGM (R) Mike Vining. Mike is a military legend. From his time as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician in Vietnam, to the founding of the United States Army's premiere counter terrorism force, Delta Force, he has done it all. In this episode, We sat down and talked about his time in the Army to include being EOD, Vietnam, civilian life, and the founding of Delta Force. I even asked him some of the questions you all asked. And of course I had to ask about the Hurt Locker. It was great to sit down and talk EOD. SGM Vining has done a lot of interviews about his time in Delta, so this was a piece of the story that needed to be told. There were a couple of minor technical issues in the beginning of the recording. SGM Vining even offered to rerecord the entire episode, but it would have lost some of the magic. On Apple and Spotify and all other streaming platforms tomorrow!

Time for a new episode of It's A Blast Podcast! I sat down with Representative Rick Crawford to discusses his military background, particularly his experience as an EOD technician, and how it has shaped his career in Congress. We talked about the importance of supporting veterans, addressing issues like traumatic brain injury and veteran suicide. Representative Crawford highlights the establishment and growth of the EOD caucus and also shares insights on the camaraderie within the EOD community and the need for continued advocacy for EOD personnel in the military. I hope you will take the time to give it a watch and a share!

It's the best time of the week! Time for another episode of It's A Blast Podcast! This week, I am talking to Mary Dague, an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician who lost both of her arms to an IED strike in Iraq. Mary and I have been friends for years and hearing her story with such detail is hard, but it is a story that needs to be told. Her story of being the first female in her unit, the family that she found in her team, and her recovery are worth listening to. Mary is an incredible human being. I am happy she took the time to share her story with me. Here and on YouTube Now, and on all streaming services tomorrow morning! Shares and reposts are greatly appreciated!

Army Emergency Relief is doing everything they can to help Soldiers during the government shutdown. It’s honestly awesome to see. The biggest issue they are having is that there is so much demand their site is crashing. I suppose that’s a good problem to have.

Social media usage by Soldiers is loved by some commands and hated by others. With less and less Americans being able to relate to their military, service members need to be in the space to tell their stories. I asked the Secretary of the Army (Secretary of the Army) her thoughts on social media:

I regret to inform you that we still don’t have songs at EOD school.
