In this episode we dive into Bill's journey of joining the Navy, to later joining the National Guard. We joke about the culture shocks between the two branches as well as the difference in enlisted vs. officer! I really enjoyed Bill's story and vulnerability throughout this episode along with his continued dedication to our veterans!
