For this special episode of Dark Sabre, we are proud to present you all with what can only be explained as a lesson in leadership and other winning qualities. We sit down with retired Army Major, Dr. Richard Hughbank. Coming from a military family did not quite mean that Dr. Hughbank initially wanted to carry on the family tradition. Having respect for the trade and wanting to be involved first hand are two different things. But once he joined, Dr. Hughbank did not look back. After cross commissioning from Air Force to Army, multiple combat deployments in OIF and OEF, and helping mold young military leaders at both West Point and USAFA… Ret. Maj. Hughbank decided to take on a new challenge in the civilian sector- earning himself a Doctorate. He began educating others about firearms, as well as leadership. He has contributed to multiple literary works including The Dynamics of Terror…a look into what makes and creates the modern terrorist. We hope that you enjoy this candid conversation with an inspirational man who has been to hell and back…and lived to share his knowledge.

On this special edition of Dark Sabre, we explore some time sensitive information. With the ever polarizing topic of the Covid 19 vaccine a daily talking point, we have to address the most recent developments on how this effects our military brothers and sisters…And how challenging times/issues can bring out the true colors in people. To Vax or Not To Vax…That is the choice that may leave some out in the cold. Thank you to our guests: Sgt.

During the making of Dark Sabre season 1, our team sat down with some brave and amazing individuals…from former employees of the Air Force Academy, to current and former cadets. One of our most impactful guests was Teresa Beasley, a civilian who worked as a Sexual Assault Response Coordinator within the military for over 30 years, and important to our investigation, she held this role at the Air Force Academy from 2007-2017. While performing this role at the United States Air Force Academy, Teresa found herself dealing with more cases of assault than she had ever seen, as well as an institution that was all too willing to do everything in their power to silence those who wished to bring this issue to light. In her own words, Teresa will share with us the true state of how Sexual Assault and other issues are handled at USAFA, including the bleak truth of how victims are treated within this American military institution.

*Trigger Warning* Discussion of sexual assault and the aftermath it causes to the victims will be discussed on this episode On the final Chapter of Dark Sabre, we meet Marine Corps Veteran and head lawyer for the DeRito legal team, Matthew Greife. We will get his perspective on what makes this case important, why he took on such a daunting task, and the state of our legal system when it comes to handling military members wrongdoings. For the first time Katelyn Cole will share her story. This brave young woman will truly show why what happens within our military and at our military Academies is not just a military problem, but a United States problem. A problem that needs us all to educate ourselves and get involved. ~ Podcast graphics by Navy Veteran *Brandon Tomason*, Owner and head designer of Veterans Apparel IG: @veterans.apparel Website: Veteransapparel.org , ~Music by Army Veteran, musician, artist, activist *YETI TEARS* IG: @yetitears Spotify: Yeti Tears Twitch: yetitears ~HonorHillTactical IG & Facebook: @honorhilltactical Links: https://linktr.ee/HHTmedia , ~Adam DeRito IG: @adam.derito Facebook & Twitter: Adam DeRito ~Dogs4Vets trains and certifies Veterans and service dogs as a team.

Let’s jump back into our investigation of Adam DeRito’s time at the Air Force Academy. At this point he has been through quite a bit, dealing with a sexual assault and multiple other attempts by a very committed stalker. He has what seems like very few advocates at the Academy, and O Ya he’s trying to make a cross commission to the Marines. Let’s see how Adam navigates his Junior year and how some unlikely advocates shine light on the issues happening at our military Academies. We will also introduce you all to a West Point Professor and Lawyer for over 40 years, Tim Baaken...the author of a ground moving book called “The Cost of Loyalty”. “The Cost of Loyalty: Dishonesty, Hubris, and Failure in the US Military” by Tim Baaken : https://www.amazon.com/Cost-Loyalty-Dishonesty-Failure-Military-ebook/dp/B07V3N9HYB , ~ Podcast graphics by Navy Veteran *Brandon Tomason*, Owner and head designer of Veterans Apparel IG: @veterans.apparel Website: Veteransapparel.org , ~Music by Army Veteran, musician, artist, activist *YETI TEARS* IG: @yetitears Spotify: Yeti Tears Twitch: yetitears ~HonorHillTactical IG & Facebook: @honorhilltactical Links: https://linktr.ee/HHTmedia , ~Adam DeRito IG: @adam.derito Facebook & Twitter: Adam DeRito ~ Erin Scanlon IG: @heyerinscanlon , @heyerinpodcast , Facebook: Erin Scanlon ~Dogs4Vets trains and certifies Veterans and service dogs as a team.

The discussion and story of Adam’s sexual assault and how his higher leadership handled it made us all wonder...Was this an isolated event or more par for the course at the United Sates Air Force Academy? So we asked multiple current cadets and a former cadet about their knowledge of this topic, about the sexual assault programs at the Academy called PEER advocacy program and TEAL Ropes, as well as their experiences at USAFA. **Trigger Warning** Please Be Advised We just want to warn everyone that there will be multiple accounts of sexual assault discussed...we will not get into graphic details about the assaults themselves but we will hear first hand experiences, as well as discuss the emotional and mental aftermath of those assaults. ~ Podcast graphics by Navy Veteran *Brandon Tomason*, Owner and head designer of Veterans Apparel IG: @veterans.apparel Website: Veteransapparel.org , ~Music by Army Veteran, musician, artist, activist *YETI TEARS* IG: @yetitears Spotify: Yeti Tears Twitch: yetitears ~HonorHillTactical IG & Facebook: @honorhilltactical Links: https://linktr.ee/HHTmedia , ~Adam DeRito IG: @adam.derito Facebook & Twitter: Adam DeRito ~ Erin Scanlon IG: @heyerinscanlon , @heyerinpodcast , Facebook: Erin Scanlon ~Dogs4Vets trains and certifies Veterans and service dogs as a team.
