In today’s episode, I am chatting with Pauly Freeman. Pauly was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. After high school, he joined the Navy. He did a 20-year career in the Navy as a jet mechanic and was assigned to multiple aircraft carriers and squadrons. At the time of retirement, he was the Aircraft Maintenance Chief for a F-18 Squadron based in Fort Worth Texas called VFA-201 Hunters. He enjoys great Chicago pizza, all sports, (Bears and Cubs fan) playing golf and listening to live music. He is a two-time an author of The Legendary Hunters of Texas and Home Away From Home. This was such a fun episode to record, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!Non-Profit Organizations discussed on the show:One Tribe Foundation (formerly 22Kill)Gary Sinise FoundationNo Fallen Heroes FoundationYou can connect with Pauly at the links below:Ink and Honor ScribeThe Nosebleeds ReportTSP The Scuttlebutt Podcast
