Welcome to the Force on Force podcast, where we take pride in showcasing the brave men and women who make outdoor adventures possible. In this episode, we feature Eric Metcalf, a distinguished veteran whose journey has taken him from serving in the Navy to becoming a warrant officer pilot in the Army.
Eric’s connection with Force on Force began unexpectedly at a fishing event on Lake Belton, but that moment quickly turned into a mission. Now, he plays a key role in supporting veterans through outdoor activities, particularly with Fishing with Warriors—a program dedicated to providing veterans with therapeutic fishing expeditions around the world.
Not only does Eric share the incredible camaraderie and impact of these fishing trips, but his story will also be featured in a three-episode series on ArmyRedFishAnglers Force on Force, airing in just a couple of weeks. The series will dive deep into the mission of Fishing with Warriors, highlighting the unforgettable experiences that bring healing and connection to veterans, including female service members, in an environment where they can share their stories beyond the battlefield.
This episode explores the importance of outdoor programs in helping veterans reconnect with nature and find solace through shared experiences. Eric’s passion for giving back and building a strong veteran community is nothing short of inspiring. Tune in as we discuss his journey, the powerful impact of fishing as therapy, and what viewers can expect in the upcoming Force on Force TV series. You won’t want to miss it!
