Jesse Naeck - A Living History - Part 1

Tactically Acquired

The first of a two-part series, Combat Army veteran and NKU alum Jesse Neack joins us in studio to discuss life as an Airborne Infantry soldier, Ranger School (with General Petraeus “endorsement”), earning the Thailand jump wings, and being part of the initial invasion force into Iraq.

Our goal is to document military connected living history in a fun and easy environment. We will capture the stories of our active duty, guard, reservists, veterans, ROTC and their families. Sharing their stories, adventures, and journeys across the military life cycle.

The podcast is for anyone interested in joining the military, has been a part of the military, or who wishes to learn more about military life. In addition, we want to bridge the growing military-civilian divide through education.

This is “unfiltered” meaning we will go over the good, the bad, and yes, maybe even the ugly of being a military connected individual.

This is from Northern Kentucky University’s Veterans Resource Station in partnership with the Department of History. Produced by Professor Kevin Eagles.
