Episode notes

We finally have our first female on the show! Please welcome Jennifer Tidball.

Jenifer grew up in Florida and has lived through a lot of experiences that would crumble most other people, but instead of letting those experiences break her, she used them to shaped herself into a formidable force.

From escaping an abusive relationship to standing up to divisive leadership, Jen has walked her own path and had an incredible life, full of unique stories.

Joining the military in 1994, helping to stand up the Lioness program, many adventures overseas including marrying a SEAL, retiring as an E6 (that's another story we get into), she's now the Director of Marketing for the San Diego Legion Rugby Team.

Here are a few highlights of the stories we dive into:

• Partying in TJ in the 90's vs. today.

• Rugby - a grown man making a diaper out of tinfoil so he can keep partying.

• Why you don't want to go to the bathroom in the mall in Dubai.

• The real reason the muslim culture doesn't use their left hand.

• Working in the Lioness Program & helping Iraqi women.

• Jen having a bounty placed on her head.

• Iraqi tea service and why you should decline.

• Looking for a detached thumb on an aircraft carrier.

• Cops being called to her wedding party - twice.

• Her aunt taking the door handles off the house so people couldn't leave.

• Opinions on women in combat, and the military in general.
