We also discuss the tragic wildfire outbreak in California, Women veterans programs, Archery for veterans, and the recently approved Junior Enlisted Members pay increase. Jenna also authored the “Veteran Workbook”, a transitional guide to help veterans not just transition from military to civilian life, but to help navigate the new life post service.

Bobby Chacon, FBI Special Agent and the team lead who developed the FBI's very first dive team joins me to talk crazy stories from the dive team, working mob cases in NYC, and how much sharks love the nosey white powder. Plus, his consulting in Hollywood to include CRIMINAL MINDS, and much more. It's true, sharks love the white powder nose goodness (can't say the real word), just like bears do. Bobby retells the story of how they pulled bags of white powder out of the ocean from a drug running operation, and how the sharks acted after they swam through a busted bag.
