You're listening to software, radio, special operations, military meals and straight talk with the guys in the community.

Hey, what's going on? This is Rad with another edition of Soft Rep Radio and I am coming to you by my snuggly fireplace and I've got two awesome guests on the line.

I've got JJ Wilson and James Boyd, former military transition from military to civilian life. Now, entrepreneurs, business owners and we're going to talk about that and find out more about what they did in the military and how they're transitioning.

Transitioning and see if they're hiring. Alright, so James and JJ, welcome to Soft Rep Radio.

Thanks for having us, Brad.

Okay, let's play choosies just like school. I'm going to be the teacher. Now, JJ Wilson, how did you meet James Boyd?

That's kind of a funny story actually. So we met first couple of days in processing for basic trading down at Fort Bidding in Georgia.

I think I'd gotten there a day or two ahead of James probably right. This is the part of a train where they give you the haircut and all the immunizations and you get some boots and other stuff.

I'd just come from it's good in your life. I finished up undergrad, kind of a different world, right. And been there for a couple of days, James showed up.

And guys, I've got the located family of like, Hey, there's this new guy here. It kind of talks funny. We think he's from Australia.

Like already went to college, brought books with him. Do you know it? Like there was a reading club for the guys who had already gone to college.

So I didn't know him, hunted him down, introduced myself. I think he thought I was trying to pick a fight with him.

He's trying to make a buddy and we've been close to this.

So is that how you recall it, James? Is that the way it would down?

You know, I think there's some parallels, but there's also some divergences in the story. And this is just life, right.

Like everyone's got their own perspective on everything. And I had a very similar kind of experience.

I've been at Stanford for University, Palo Alto, California, which is just as lovely place and palm trees and green hills and that sort of thing.

And then September 2005, it's down at Fort Benning in Georgia for infantry bootcamp, which is a little bit of a different fight.

And you know, my only exposure to this world have been seen like the Vietnam War movies.

You know, it's all the kind of full metal jacket and all that sort of stuff that we'd seen.

And I get down there. I've been there a day, everyone's a maggot for some reason. Everyone's yelling at me.

This is not like college at all. And you go out, it's like eight o'clock at night.
