The NAIA began using pitch clocks during the 2020s. Shawn might have learned about 20 and out becoming commonplace in the U.S. military while considering joining the Coast Guard Reserve, rather than the story written about the Coast Guard's recruiting efforts. Credits:Host: Shawn RoneyProducers: Sharon Donat, Miranda Jamison, Shawn RoneyEditing: Shawn RoneyMusic director: Shawn RoneyLogo design: Karen PayneMusic: "Auld Lang Syne," "Picardy," "Greensleeves," all traditional and arranged by Shawn Roney; performed by Sacred & Secular (solo incarnation).
