Ohio National Guard Specialist JT Lykins

If you've been curious about the young people serving in the United States Armed Forces today, I've got an interview for you!

Twenty-five-year-old, Ohio National Guard Specialist Jerry Lykins missed the camaraderie of a team after graduating high school and leaving behind youth sports.

He found that close support and structure in service to his country and continues to seek out adventure, experience, and individual growth. Only 25% of Americans between the ages of 17 and 24 are eligible to join the military.

In this interview host, Lesley Lykins and her nephew discuss how military culture offers a type of human connection many young adults are seeking in today's tech-centric society.
