Episode description

In 2015, West Point graduate Lieutenant Colonel Lisa Jaster became the first female reserve Soldier to graduate the iconic US Army Ranger School and was among the first 3 women to do so. There is just a bit more to her than that however. From a small town in Wisconsin, she had a call to serve early on as her father was also a West Point attendee and served 3 tours as an Officer in Vietnam. Fresh off a first place finish in her age group in her first ultra trail marathon, Lisa describes a few other moments in her career along the way. Hear her unique story about 9/11, the early years in Afghanistan and Iraq, the types of men and women America needs in combat today, and just how she found herself in the US Army's Ranger school. Delete the adjective, not the bourbon. Grab a glass.
