Back To Basic | Jess Todd – Basic Training Stories from the ArmyIntroducing a new segment on the Hunting The Frontlines Podcast: Back To Basic.This series is dedicated to sharing the stories that come out of one of the most defining experiences in a service member’s life — Basic Training. 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. Hood hunting episode. Jess shares his personal Basic Training experience — the challenges, the moments that stuck with him, and the perspective that came from it.Podcast Partner: Deadnuts OutdoorsWe want to thank Deadnuts Outdoors for their continued support of this podcast and the veteran community.
