Ep. 07: The Ascender: Aric McGee

Your past does not define your future—this is the principle of the life of Aric McGee. A tumultuous childhood of relocation and instability set him up to fail, but the Navy made sure that he did anything but. Now a daring pilot, Aric McGee is no victim. He is a Sailor.

This officer — and his grandfather — are precisely what America is all about, what we are supposed to be. I devoted twenty years of my now-aging life to our Navy and our country, so I understand the sacrifices these gentlemen — and their families — have made to contribute meaningfully to the preservation of our freedom. THANK YOU.

Inspirational. BZ! "My father was not in the picture" is a reality here in America that needs to change. We need more Fathers. I challenge more Dad out there to be dads. My only son recently classified to be in the AIRR rating and I am proud of him. He has all the opportunity to be in a University, but because of my role/influence in his life, he chose to join the service. I can relate to this video.. I owe a LOT to this Great United States Navy... If I will be called again to serve this country...100% I will say YES!

“Here I am today, flying MH-60 Romeos”

*shows clips of Sierras*

Very nice - the HSL line and buildings are so familiar - even though I left in 1997. Romeo looks good - though I wish ya'll would put the MAD back on

When you suck in flight school, get pink sheets and end up flying that thing with a rotor on top 😂
