Our Mission

We started Tracer Burnout with a simple idea: a platform for military veterans to share their stories of service. By inviting veterans to speak about their experiences, we hope to help them feel heard, to know their service matters, to preserve their memories for future generations, and to provide civilians with a better understanding of life in the service.

Two Latest TB Episodes

Episode 0065 - Anthony Bongi

As a young man, Anthony Bongi had two choices: pursue acting and  modeling in New York City or accept a last-minute opportunity to West  Point. He chose West Point, and there he began a whirlwind military  career that would see him booted from West Point, enlisted in Alaska,  deployed as a member of the Air National Guard, and it only gets wilder  from there.  


Over a decade later, Anthony achieved his dream of being an infantry  platoon leader in combat and, despite the twists and turns, he wouldn't  have it any other way. From demerits at USMA to moose spotting in Alaska  and from logistics in the Air Force to shopping malls in Poland -  Anthony's career path was wild and unpredictable, but he never forgot  about his childhood passion.  


After some time out of uniform, Anthony headed out to LaLa Land to  pursue acting and modeling. He approaches each opportunity as a military  operation, and the results can speak for themselves. 


 In the Free Fire Area, Dan's love for pecan pie remains unsullied, and  Roger is second-guessing some recent dietary changes.

Episode 0064 - David Mueller

After a failed college experiment, David Mueller wasn't happy with where  he was in life, so he decided to enlist. Knowing full well there were  two wars going on, David wound up as an infantryman in the 3rd Ranger  Battalion and never looked back.  


For the next 20 years, David threw himself into the profession of arms,  deployed to combat zones numerous times, and faced every challenge  head-on. From blistering training and multiple setbacks at Ranger School  to working as a dog handler and broadening horizons at Joint Special  Operations Command (JSOC), David's experiences are as vast as they are  varied.  


Plus, frustrated lieutenants, motivational speeches, Australian culture,  blotter reports, and so much more!  In the Free Fire Area, Dan and Roger wish they could be kids again and  enjoy the little things.


In the Free Fire Area, we talk about some of the poor decisions we've made that have stuck with us no matter how much time goes by.
