Today’s guest went to the AF academy because he didn’t want to pay for college, He had no idea what he was getting himself into, but he learned to dig deep and found out what it took to complete the academy, graduating in 2016. His first assignment was to Kadena Japan, where he decided to start his own YouTube channel.  He has loads of information packed videos on officer and military life. Just search his name Alex Tsang or visit https://www.youtube.com/user/MrUnpwnage
