Choosing the Harder Path Changed Everything with Austin Knight—Arctic Paratrooper

This episode

Austin Knight thought he had life by the horns, until he was fired, and dumped by his girlfriend, on the same day. Facing the task of starting over, he had two routes to choose from—the ease and stability of a corporate job, or joining the U.S. military as a paratrooper. He chose the harder route, and wouldn’t change it for the world. A part of the Arctic Angels, the United States’ only Arctic Paratrooper unit, Austin shares his aggressive story from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska.
