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.

We need your help!

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.

Two Latest TB Episodes

Episode 0031 - Matthew “Whiz" Buckley

"Radical trauma requires radical treatment."

In this episode we talk with Navy fighter pilot and founder of the No Fallen Heroes foundation, Mr. Matthew "Whiz" Buckley. He tells us about growing up watching for Soviet bombers off the Jersey shore, the disaster-laden start to his Navy career, the sheer terror of a night landing on an aircraft carrier, and the challenges of attending Top Gun as a reservist. We also discuss how his efforts to end veteran suicide became a much bigger endeavor to heal trauma of all sorts through psychedelic assisted therapy.

In the Free Fire Area, we reminisce on our own childhoods and the toughest video games we used to play.

Episode 0030 - Chuck Ritter

“Combat’s not all that fun sometimes.”

In this episode, we speak with Army veteran and Green Beret, Mr. Chuck Ritter. We discuss how $70k in credit card fraud landed him in the infantry, why you should always inspect your equipment, the importance of planning, why you should be selfish sometimes, his non-negotiable principles, the meaning of an old Greek word, and missing mop buckets?

In the Free Fire Area, we determine the nicknames of two former US presidents. How the turntables have turned.
