A gem discovered on our servers at long last, we're thrilled to present our interview with US Army Sergeant (ret.) Ian S. Haynes (RIP) from 2019. Part one (of three, provided we find the other two), Mr. Haynes was a member of the East Orange, New Jersey police force and retired as a Staff Sergeant from the US Army. Both co-founders of this podcast had the privilege of serving with him at Walter Reed (the President's Hospital) from 2011-2013.
Happy Friday, and we hope you enjoy this perspective from before the 'Rona and the end of the War in Afghanistan as much as we did (both in 2019 and upon rediscovering it)!
While we are labeling this as episode number 285, we are in the process of re-organizing all episodes into seasons. Older seasons will be archived and available for download only upon request at the conclusion of said reorganization. So, this will likely end up as Episode One of whatever season this becomes. But, for now, we do hope you enjoy this and all other episodes of the ModState podcast(s). We feel we've come a long way toward making this a better, more enjoyable product for everyone!
