Summary

You can learn a lot from the military. Today we talk to Ben Killoy, the host of the Military Veteran Dad Podcast. I was curious about what he learned from the military that could be transferred to being a successful dad. We have some great exchanges, and Ben provides a ton of wisdom. Here's a sample:

A Dad's Path: What did you learn from the military that you can point to and say, this impacts how I am as a Dad?

Military Dad: The most common thing when it comes to the military is learning what doesn't work as a dad. In the military, people follow orders, but your kids don't follow orders at home, or you come home, and you bark orders, or often you hold your kids to the same standard as you would at work.
