Description

On this week's episode of the Ones Ready podcast, Aaron sits down with Lt. "Wink" Winkeleer who is a Special Tactics Officer who recently transitioned from being an enlisted Combat Controller.  They discuss the differences between the roles of enlisted and officers as well as what growing pains Wink had during his transition and his views on the Air Force Special Warfare going forward.  They also discuss the recent changes to the officer AFSCs within Special Warfare (19Z series AFSCs).  There is some story time thrown in from Wink's experiences when he was in Okinawa, Japan and the humanitarian aid and relief efforts in Puerto Rico post Hurricane Irma and Maria.  Wink is absolutely a pipe hitter and we feel privileged to have him on.  Please enjoy this episode and give us your feedback.
