Our two guests today have a unique perspective on serving in Korea and with 19th Expeditionary Sustainment Command. Col. John (Chris) Brookie first arrived in Korea in the mid 80s as a Soldier fresh out of AIT; today he's back in Korea as the Deputy Commander for 19th ESC. CW3 Robert Carle also arrived here as a young Soldier in 2001 and has spent many years in Korea and with 19th ESC. In our conversation with both leaders we discuss their path to the military (1:17), how they made the leap from the enlisted ranks to officer and warrant officer (5:18), the experience of working with Korean Army allies (19:17) and the response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Korea (26:00).
