  • Summary

  • Today’s episode is a conversation with two outfit commanders, James Wilkey from G-1 and Kyle Pate from Squadron 16. They’re both good friends of mine and some of the best commanders I know. I wanted to sit down with them to talk about their experience with Corps leadership at an outfit level. These gents have great wisdom to offer and plenty to learn from their experience.
