Retired Army Major - Stacy Lively In-Studio!
We had a great time catching up with retired Army Major Stacy Lively, a former high school classmate whose 27-year military career took him all over the world — from Panama to Iraq and Afghanistan. Stacy enlisted in the Army in 1987 and went on to serve in both Operation Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom, completing five combat tours totaling 54 months. His journey took him from basic training at Fort Jackson to the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, and later to the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) as a commissioned Infantry Officer. We talk about what service really means, the transition from military to civilian life, lessons from leadership under fire, and of course — a few laughs and memories along the way. It’s a genuine, down-to-earth conversation with someone who’s lived a life of commitment, courage, and perspective. A podcast centered around our soldiers, veterans, and the civilians they protect!
