ZBT #122: Pilots Get Cocky In The Cockpit & An Inspiring Interview With Noah Galloway
This episode of Zero Blog Thirty starts off with the gang revisiting the North Carolina prison scam that bilked soldiers out of more than half a million dollars. The numbers are out & it is startling… (but not too surprising).
From there we get into recent news about a couple pilots who made poor life choices in the cock pit… One drew dicks all over his bomber cockpit & the other climbed into his F-16 cockpit & flew to D.C. for a booty call. Big cock pit energy pulling that off. Hear how the Air Force handled it on the show.
The guest of the week is Noah Galloway:
A native of Birmingham, Alabama, Sergeant Noah Galloway was assigned to the 1st of the 502nd Infantry of the 101st Airborne Division out of Fort Campbell, Kentucky during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Just three months in to his second tour of duty, he experienced a life changing injury. On December 19, 2005, Galloway lost his left arm above the elbow and left leg above the knee in an Improvised Explosive Device attack. He was transported to Germany to receive medical treatment, remaining unconscious for five days. Galloway woke up late in the evening on Christmas Eve to learn he lost two of his limbs and sustained severe injuries to his right leg and his jaw. Galloway was then transferred to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC.
Hear about his ups & downs in the aftermath and how he overcame depression & denial to become a motivational speaker, top tier athlete, a cover model for Men’s Health Magazine, (& most exciting to me – a finalist on Dancing With The Stars! Ooooh, ahhh!).
