Disabled veteran-owned 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. We invite you to hear these unique stories told by the people who lived them.
“This is it? Okay then, now what?”
It’s the final episode from our road trip and we’re in Charlottesville at the Aerial Resupply Coffee roastery. We speak with Army veteran and ARC owner, Mr. Mike Klemmer. We discuss being a broken-hearted college dropout, having a military specialty that gets phased out, driving through mine fields, building a Foward Operating Base from the ground up, and how to go from hating coffee to starting a coffee company.
In the Free Fire Area, we discuss which historic sports teams we wanted to be on - despite having minimal athletic abilities ourselves.
"I had a hit-man tell me that I needed to find God."
*This episode discusses the very serious topics of sex trafficking and exploitation of children. Our guest was a federal prosecutor with a focus on those heinous crimes. Please proceed with caution. All of the legal details are accurate to the best of Mr. Jones’ recollection.*
In the first episode of our recent road trip, we're at the University of Virgina to speak with Marine Corps veteran and former federal prosecutor (and so, so many other things) Mr. Scott Jones. We discuss his multiple stints at the UVA law school, how searching for IEDs from a jet is ineffective, the way perspective changes after losing friends in combat, why prosecuting traffic violations sucks, the importance of bringing scumbags to justice, and the difficulties of returning to the UVA medical school when you are old enough to be your peers' parent.
In the Free Fire Area, we discuss the 200th anniversary of the Marquis de Lafayette's return to the USA, other founding fathers, and our terrible pirating skills.
In this episode, we have the one and only Ben Owen in our virtual studio.
