For 21 years, I dedicated my life to the Air Force. I climbed the ranks fast, I gave everything to my career, and I believed in the system.

But when I needed the system to be fair, it failed me.

In this episode, I’m telling my full story; how I lost my stripes, how my mistakes played a part, and why I’m still fighting for justice today.

I take full accountability for the choices I made, but I also know I was punished far more harshly than others.

This is about leadership, accountability, and the reality of what happens when the military gets it wrong.


In This Episode:


  • My journey from fast burner to Chief Master Sergeant
  • The challenges of my assignment at Incirlik Air Base
  • The mistakes I made and the decisions that led to my downfall
  • The investigations—what was fair and what wasn’t
  • My fight with the Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records
  • How I found strength despite everything
