Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business
Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business
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.
Your financial support helps us bring the stories of veterans to everyone and preserve the memories of their service for future generations. Consider a monthly contribution.
“I had to prioritize my trauma.”
In this episode, we speak with Air Force veteran Mrs. Jessica Guidone. We discuss how being a "hot mess" in ROTC leads to running a newspaper, advising senior officers as a young lieutenant, trying not to tip over small islands, handling trauma after tragedy, how a dad demanding a handshake can change your life… plus poetry and coloring books?
In the Free Fire Area, we ruminate over a world where the Third Reich didn’t betray the USSR.
“You can lie to me, you even can lie to yourself, but you can’t lie to the horses.”
In this episode, we speak with Marine Corps veteran Mr. Michael Parker. We discuss the ludicrous amount of labor required to keep an Osprey flying, red flags and the poor choices that got him tossed in the brig, homelessness and mentorship in Hawaii, using horses to help veterans heal, and transforming unruly pups into Devil Dogs!
In the Free Fire Area, we bring it all the way back to our first topic: what we are currently reading.

In this Tracer Burnout Quick Hit, we welcome US Army Colonel Christina Fanitzi into our virtual studio.
