Hey everyone, Vancouver Radio, or I should say, stand up, stand to attention.

Many of you may have not known, but I actually went to a military school as a kid.

From the age of 11 to 18 I had to shine my shoes, I had to dress up in a

uniform and parade around a concrete thing on a Sunday and go to church and all that kind of stuff. I had that background and

whether that benefited me or not I've absolutely no idea but talking of a military

theme we have a military man on the show today and he's not just a military man he's kind of a bit of a what was not a bit of a he is a celebrity in America.

He's done lots of very, very cool things, but actually the military thing is what I want to

focus on today.

So my guest, welcome to the show, Michael Hawk.

Hello?

Howdy, Ben?

Thanks for having me.

Dude, you are welcome.

I was obviously as an interviewer, as a podcaster.

It's important I do my research and I was going over it all again today and I was going back through your Wikipedia and your Wikipedia is awesome

I'm upset that I don't have one, but that's an argument for another day.

Your Wikipedia's fantastic.

I'd really like you to be able to give some background to your journey

and kind of your career and what has shaped you know Michael Hawk today.

Well I'm the real truth is none of that stuff was a plan. I would like to take credit, a super smart and all that.

But man, basically I grew really poor and I just wanted to get an education and in states the only way

to do that was through the military. I joined the military.
