From Hating Cows to Serving His Country | Kirk Waldron

🎙️ He Accidentally Joined the Navy… Then Stayed 26 Years | Kirk WaldronKirk Waldron grew up on a dairy farm in Weston, Idaho, with seven siblings—and, according to Kirk, he absolutely HATED cows. 😂 Somehow, life took him from that small dairy farm to a place he never expected: the United States Navy.What started almost by accident turned into a 26-year career serving aboard some of the most iconic nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in the world, including the USS Nimitz, USS Enterprise, and USS Ronald Reagan. Kirk eventually retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer after a career spent working around nuclear propulsion, deployments, leadership, sacrifice, and thousands of sailors living together at sea.But this episode is about more than the Navy. Kirk talks about marriage, raising four kids while being gone for long stretches of time, the sacrifices his wife and family made behind the scenes, and what nearly four decades of marriage have taught him.His son Levi joins us as well, giving us another perspective on the man behind the uniform.Kirk has lived one heck of a story, and we were grateful to sit down and hear it.🎙️ Everyone Has a StoryHosted by Kam Spackman & Cody Traveller
