Episode 13! Not 12!
Jacob spent 10 years in the Navy, with most of his flying with the F/A-18. He did a handful of combat deployments on carrier strike groups and a few tours instructing new Naval Aviators. He talks about what the day-to-day combat deployment mission looks like from the perspective of a fighter pilot, the underwhelming feeling of breaking the speed of sound, and transitioning to an airline pilot. He also gives advice to those thinking about becoming a pilot some advice on how to do that. And as always we talk about mindset, relationships with ourself and others, and more.
Growing up I was the middle child between two sisters. But since meeting him I've had a brother too. Since marrying my sister yeeears ago, we've spent a lot of time together doing all kinds of stuff. Four wheeling in the mountains of Tennessee, going on family trips to Spain and Portugal, flying with him in a small Cessna (it didn't last long, I almost lost my lunch and wanted to go back on Earth). He's a great human.
We recorded this episode in his garage, which for now he has converted into a workshop for building a kit plane.
