My dad is back on the podcast this week. He was full of more stories, and we laughed so much. So much so that this 4 hour recording session is split into two episodes. Other topics: Taking Esia to airsoft, Shit details in the Marines, Flying commercial planes, famous people he flew, colorful people he flew, how Mom thought he died in a plane crash, that time Andy Interviewed Hillary Clinton, How Tom ended up in the SD Air National Guard, why dad was gone when I was born, traveling the world in the air guard, the difference between the air guard and the Air Force, pranks and goofing off in the old days on base, the movie M*A*S*H is superior to the TV show M*A*S*H but the book M*A*S*H is better than both.

My dad, Tom Erickson, joins me on the podcast this week. We only scratched the surface of where it could go. We start off with the story of the elk he shot while pooping in Colorado, what 9/11 was like at the South Dakota Air National Guard base, and how he accidentally ended up joining the Marine Corps. We also talk extensively about his service in the Marines up through the Tet Offensive in 1968.
