Picking up where we left off:  Col Weeks retired after serving as the Commander of the 14th Flying Training Wing, Team BLAZE, in Columbus, MS.  We discuss the work still needed to recruit and retain more female aviators, discuss that self-care is not selfish, and share advice with those looking to pursue careers in the US Air Force.

From realizing she wanted to fly fighter jets at a young age to flying with the USAF Thunderbirds to commanding an Air Force Flying Wing, Samantha "Combo" Weeks has done it all and much more.  Currently retired from active duty Air Force, living and working in Colorado with her husband and two young boys, Sam joins us to share her stories and share advice with all of us, especially the next generation of aviators looking to join us in the skies.  We discuss being bold, growing grit and realizing self-care is not selfish.

This episode is shared in two parts -- Tune in for both as we learn about how she realized she wanted to fly fighter jets and how she achieved those dreams along with advice she has learned along the way.
