Ep 196: Vietnam CCT and STO (ret) John ”JK” Koren- Living Controller Legend!

Send us a text

Major John Koren was a Combat Controller, then a Special Tactics Officer and is the definition of the word "legend". From Vietnam to the Philippines, to the highest freefall jump of the time, to BrandX- his career is absolutely unbelievable. 

John was gracious enough to share his time and story with all of us, so we can honor exactly what these legends of our career fields have done. 

Huge thanks to John Koren, we truly appreciate his impact on Combat Control and Air Force Special Tactics as a whole! Hopefully, we can get him back on for round 2 ASAP!
