In this episode of Hometown Jax, host Aaron Bacus sits down with Tony Capozzi, a West Point graduate, veteran, and reservist with an incredible journey through military service. Tony shares his story, from growing up around baseball to becoming a leader in the U.S. Army, serving in combat zones, and even parachuting into Normandy for a historical reenactment. He breaks down what it takes to lead troops, the difference between officers and enlisted soldiers, and what life is really like in a forward operating base.

Tony also dives into his deployment experiences, the critical role of trust in combat, and how he helped an Afghan interpreter escape to America. Whether you're fascinated by military strategy, leadership, or just want to hear an inspiring story, this episode offers a firsthand look into the challenges and camaraderie of military life.
