From funny moments to soul-crushing days, to the ones that built who we are today, these stories are as individual as they are shared across every branch of service.Justin started this series after constantly getting asked by civilians, “What is Basic Training really like?”And if you’ve been through it… you already know.It’s chaos, growth, exhaustion, laughter, and brotherhood all rolled into one. It’s something most of us would agree was one of the most fun experiences we never want to do again.In this first episode of Back To Basic, we continue the conversation with Jess Todd (Retired U.S. Army), following his appearance on the Ft.
