Seymour Johnson Air Force Base

Matter of fact, you can go back and you can see a clear record.

There were times that Speaker Johnson did not have the votes, even in his caucus.

And if I had not cast a vote because I thought it was right for Eastern North Carolina, I'll give you another highlight.

When I think about the Homeland Security Appropriations Bill, I mean, people were saying, hey, you know, don't fund ICE.

Um, uh, uh, in this fiscal year '26, um, this is one that I think is really important.

Why is it important? Because we have to support our troops.

Seymour Johnson Air Force Base.

We were able to get funds, and I voted for every one of these projects.

The headline is, Tillis applauds a final decision to base Air Force's newest tanker squadron in North Carolina.

In 2015, Air Force selected Seymour Johnson Air Force Base as the preferred location for main operating base three, yada, yada, yada.

Senator Tom Tillis recently secured two provisions in the 2018 National Defense Authorization Act that provide funds necessary for the military construction at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base required for the KC-46A tanker aircraft.

You know what Pete Hegseth has been doing on top? He's done a lot of things as Secretary of War, but Pete Hegseth has, in ways that I applaud because they were so necessary, he has attacked the extremely rotten at the top leadership of the United States military.

I read the headline last week, 20% of generals and admirals gone, gone, with more to come.

absolutely so man uh just reading that intro i'm i'm super interested about what you're what you're bringing to the show man let me tell me a little bit about yourself what you did in in the military in the air force and then uh how your transition to civilian life went for you so far

yeah yeah no problem uh so uh i joined the air force on july 18th of uh 2000 you know before 9 11 there and then i actually uh i was a guy who had many many jobs at least for the first Part of my career there, I started out as a weapons loader there at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base on the Strike Eagles.

I did approximately five years of that, then five years of Air Force firefighting, doing the ARF stuff there at Charleston Air Force Base, and then I get to a point in my book there where basically I go home on leave, and I realize this whole war on terror, I was sitting on the sidelines, and I really wanted to get in the fight.

I caught the same cracks in the road, and I get to a point where I was like, I don't want to leave cracks.
