What a year Pararescueman TSgt Kenneth "OB" O'Brien has had! First he was part of the Thai Cave rescue operations, treated a Korean after a tractor fire, was part of President Trump's medical protection detail, saved an infant on his flight on the way to be named United States Air Force 12 Outstanding Airmen Of The Year! All of this happened in a span of a year, while most people wait their entire career for these opportunities. OB is an absolute stud, but he comes with baggage. He is affectionately referred to by his teammates as a "Black Cloud", but he prefers to be considered a "Gray Cloud" because not everything that happens around him turns out bad! Enjoy getting to know OB as we have and we look forward to having him on the podcast again.
