    Today I sat down with Jon King, he was a blackhawk "dustoff" pilot. He served in the Air Force for 10 years before moving to the Army to become a pilot. He was deployed to Afghanistan 3 times and left the Army as a CWO3. During our conversation we talked about his deployments, the toll that takes on someone, and his entrepreneurial spirit and the businesses he started after the military.
