Ever wondered about the unique challenges and experiences of belonging to the Zennial/Xennial generation, wedged between the millennial and Gen X generations? Join Dan and I as we navigate our generational identity and discuss the importance of staying abreast with technology in our fast-paced world.
Our insightful chat with Dan Kephart introduces you to the complexities of motivating airmen in a tech school setting. Unravel the significance of KPIs, talent development within the air force and how it all ties back to unit leaders. A little bit later, we delve into the hurdles faced by those who haven't had many PCSs or TDYs and the value of supervisor experience. We also touch upon the necessity of honest feedback to our team, fostering growth and avoiding stagnation.
Lastly, we open up about our personal experiences transitioning out of the Air Force, the accompanying regrets and internal struggles tied to the values held by the Air Force. As we reflect on the significance of upholding the oath of enlistment, we also ponder the possible decline of patriotism and the impact social media may have on the younger generations. From internal struggles related to our values and patriotism to the physiological impacts of caffeine consumption on our wellbeing, join us for this journey filled with personal experiences, honest feedback, and in-depth discussions about technology.

Steve wants you to know, it's pronounced: Muh-Lah-Nuh-fee
Just a note: The audio got cutoff a bit in all the excitement so the show seems to start abruptly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Steve talks about how he served active duty, the Guard, Reserve and ART positions. Later on we tackle ‘trolls’ and messaging. Finally, he nonchalantly drops an offer of $20K to join the reserves from active duty. Good grief 🤨

The two also discuss how the 3F2 Resiliency group might make headway in improving the force. Nick of course complains about Comm training. It's only natural 😁

Nick sits down with the 3F2X1 career field manager, Chief Master Sergeant Eric Johnson. This interview lasts about 90 minutes and hits these questions and more:
- Why would anyone take this job in the middle of the craziness?
- What's your vision of the future for 3F2s?
- What's up with your obsession with the Incredible Hulk?
- What's up with those retrain quotas?
- Can we require certifications at each rank level?
- How can we ensure SSgt's are not functional and base training managers when there are Senior NCOs at those bases?
- What's the likelihood we (active duty) can get back into the education office?
- How can we align our career field better to take advantage of civilian opportunities
Out of these questions came many conversations about emotional intelligence, priorities, what you can do as a functional to help your team, and far more.

A very fun impromptu start to Season 3 begins with Michael and Nick recapping how the past two years have been and what they have both been up to. Michael, a guest on the first season dives into topics with Nick such as making MSgt, music, culture and food in the UK, and the two discuss living in a simulation and Puckett's new found breathalyzer that he carries to be a more responsible person! This one is off the cuff and the more you listen, the more you might laugh alongside the pair of UTMs.
This episode is brought to you by the letter U, T, and M 😉
WARNING:
🛑 It is not usual for the podcast to have curse words but in this very LIVE recording, Mike dropped a few profanities so please be aware of the explicit rating for this episode 🛑

Uh oh. Nick has temporarily relinquished control 🎛 of the coveted, illustrious, WORLD famous even--3FU Podcast. Don't fret. Our fearless leader has only lent the reigns to 3FU regular Brian Childers. Brian doesn't just sit down with Nick Perez, the UTM; 🪑he sits down with Nick ...the person.
In these talks, Nick tells us about his upbringing, his hero, his grandfather, Chico, and living in south Fort Worth. Brian asks Nick what he would fight if he could. And Nick gets to address the video he made about not making MSgt this past year and the video he released. Nick and Brian talk about Fight Club 🧼👊 quotes, most impactful moments, and they even build the perfect UTM! As usual, this dynamic duo talks about what keeps them motivated in the good and bad times. They laugh, cry (a lot of crying), and share experiences that any UTM can relate to.
We want to wish you the best this Holiday season, and have high hopes for 2022! Lets connect, do business together, and keep the conversation 🗣 going about TRNG! Lets make next year the biggest yet for the Podcast, the Youtube channel, and our AFSC!
🎁 Happy Holidays from the 3FU team🎄

Last time on the 3FUniverse, the show ended abruptly with the internet cutting out. Nick found Chief again after the internet behaved.
Chief starts off by throwing out ideas for the podcast. Will the 3FUniverse be the future home of a Career Field Manager All Call for the AFSC? The Chief and Nick talk about lessons learned, and Nick reveals his anxieties about hosting and Chief reveals how harsh reading Facebook comments can be.
"You don't have to be Perfect to be amazing". Chief teaches Nick this mantra and the two discuss Retired Chief Perkins and what it was like starting out as the 3F2 CFM. Then the two discuss the legend of Nick showing up to the previous conference with a sleeping bag and no hotel room. The pair talk about how important being connected and together at the conference is and brining that message back to everyones workcenters is.
Shoutouts to Gretchen Hanes, and Julie Tinsley!
Will Chief even get to go to the conference? Funding is an issue for Chiefs? Listen to find out!
Sometimes both Chief and Nick miss being A1Cs, and they reminisce over the "good ole days" for a minute. Chief then tells us her plans for retirement, mainly 6 months of not working is step one. Step two? You'll have to listen and hear for yourself!
Later on, they breakdown what is important in the career field, 2096s, SoTs and the Air Force of post World War Two and beyond. That guy in the corner with the cigars, ugh.
Finally, TFTR 2.0 is like MySpace? Tom will be there with custom music for our training pages?
PART THREE COMING SOON...after the holidays!
As always, enjoy, and leave feedback for the show.

Nick and Chief break down the fourth wall of 3F2ing, and touch on topics like..is an hour just right or not enough for podcasting? Who really is her favorite Unit Training Manager(UTM)? Chief tells us where she is from, and how she came to be in the position of the 3F2X1 Career Field Manager(CFM). Later, she reveals what a normal day in the life is like for her, and advice for those who aim to be a CFM.
The two shift gears, and Chief tells Nick about her retirement plans, and how she envisions retirement. Unfortunately, the internet cuts out and the conversation ends abruptly. Coincidentally though, the pair hit nearly the 45 min mark, and they wrap up part 1 of possibly 3 parts there.
Enjoy!!!

Nick interviews Ryan over Facebook Messenger, and the two discuss small town Air Force bases, where Ryan came from before he was a 3F2. Around the 13 minute mark, the two discuss consistency and why Ryan decided to make running a priority in his life. 17 minutes into the show, Nick poses the question to Ryan, "What do you bring to the table for the 3FUniverse?" Ryan tells the podcast about setting up a TedX talk at his base and what went into it. Later, the pair discuss the 3F2 conference, which leads into a conversation about opportunities. Are opportunities given for nothing? What do you do when opportunity rings? Then, Nick announces Ryan's addition to the 3F2 Iron Benders! Lastly, Nick tells Ryan and the Universe he wants more diversity on the show. This is an episode you don't want to miss.

Brian and Nick have their second session of intense, wild, and possibly controversial thoughts.
Brian reflects on Shirt-ing and explains why he still makes appearances and efforts in the 3F community. He also challenges the "hidden" figures of the 3F2 community to make themselves more visible. The guys also discuss previous podcasts and clarify some ideas from episode 1 with Cory, such as Nick's thoughts on creating a podcast with CMSAF. The hosts further entangle themselves in a dialogue about vaccines, morals, and convictions. The chat takes another drastic turn as connectedness and suicide are addressed and how that fits into the plot with the other things occurring. From there, Nick and Brian debate about #innovation being a dirty word, and how to measure success. A few moments are devoted to the word connectedness. The hosts discussed the question: What does connectedness mean to young Airmen versus the older Airmen of the force? Later on, the dynamic pair discuss certain people in the career field. Who are the movers and shakers making impacts? Finally, the two speak brainstorm ideas about the upcoming conference and upcoming episodes for the podcast.
Will his Mom make this the second most-listened-to episode of the podcast? Will you listen in to help him? All this and more on the second episode of season 2 of the 3FUniverse!!!

Cory Williams and Nick Perez sit down to set the tone for season 2 of the 3FUniverse.
Cory and Nick discuss what happened over the past year and the mindset for the upcoming year. The guys chat about the impacts and projects they've taken on in the past year. The podcast is changing, with multiple hosts coming in to build and publish episodes. Is Nick retiring? Cory has a secret... is it a potential new passion of his? What's the plan going forward?
The episode reintroduces Cory Williams, who was a guest for season 1. Going forward, Cory and others from Nick's circle will host episodes. Thus the 3FUniverse is no longer one star but multiple stars from neighboring constellations.

I’m joined by the 19th Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force, JoAnne S. Bass! We discuss everything from spam musubi to the future of the Air Force. I go all out and ask Chief if we are getting PT hoodies, Chevrons on our sleeves, her favorite coffee, and if we can change some of our positions to warrant officers! There might be some bonus info that hasn’t been released anywhere else yet too! 😉 This was a huge opportunity, and I wasn’t nervous up until about 2 minutes before we started talking….which led to me forgetting she was the 19th CMSAF. Forgive my nerves, this was a huge episode for me, and an amazing opportunity. HUGE SHOUTOUTS to Geoff at 369SoundDesign.com for supporting the podcast.
