In Episode 12 of “Warrior: The Art of War for Life ~ A Podcast on Winning,” we present our second segment of “Warrior Mindset Unplugged with USAF (retired) Brigadier General Paul Pirog. During his 37 year career, he was a “Cold War” B-52 navigator before going to law school and becoming an Air Force Judge Advocate General (JAG), after which he went on to serve four tours as a Staff Judge Advocate, as a Medical Law Consultant, in the AF General Counsel’s Office as the Chief of the National Security Law Branch, as the Deputy Commandant of the AF JAG School, and as the Deputy Staff Judge Advocate of Air Mobility Command. His final assignment was as Permanent Professor of the Law Department at the United States Air Force Academy. His inspiring message emphasizes the importance of teamwork, personal accountability, and our constant power to choose how we respond to the storms of life. With a rarely heard insider story about the Battle of Mogadishu, Somalia in 1993, known as “Blackhawk Down,” he powerfully teaches: “Your importance to the mission is not determined by your proximity to the target.” Speaking of the importance of expanding our field of view, second chances, and avoiding collateral damage in our lives, this episode is sure to inspire!
