You have now entered Free Range American Podcast, presented by black rifle coffee.com.

And hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of Free Range American.

Today I have a very, very special and important guest to me personally.

I have a long history with this person. I've known him since the year 2003. Does that make sense?

Yep.

This is Colonel retired Peter Donnelly. Welcome to the show. Thanks JT. Awesome to be here. I'm super excited

because we've been talking about having you on for quite some time now. You, myself, and a few

other people that we know from the community have been doing some things on the side since you've retired,

and you've since ran with that and have been spearheading the whole thing with A15 publishing.

And I know a lot of our fans and listeners and people that have followed us a long time for a while

know about A15 publishing, and you're kind of the mastermind behind the whole thing. But before we

get into that, let's start with when, you know, when your history in the Air Force.

You want all 30 years? Oh, hey, you know, we'll start at the beginning. We'll get into when you,

when you jumped, jumped off of into the a low world and then

you know the big impact that you had in the in the tack p community in the a soss and asaac

community um so yeah by all means okay well uh it's probably is good background to start from

the beginning but i won't uh dwell too long on any one period.

I went through OTS after college.

Like most, I felt that need to serve.

I had a great childhood, and also that was my thought about paying it back.

So I went to OTS. That's when it was in San Antonio, graduated, and it was the 83, 84, so still right in the heart of the Cold War. And actually, you know, about just about 10 years away from ending.

So everybody in the class, sorry, I graduated.
