Who am i ?
Hello, my name is Vlad Kalinin and i am...
Immigrant
In 2010 my family’s lives took a drastic turn when we immigrated from Ukraine to the Seattle area in the United States. Without any knowledge of the new country, we had to start making a living no matter what new challenges we faced on a daily basis. With many years behind us, we finally living the true American Dream!
Veteran
Unable to afford college, I decided to enlist in the US Air Force as a Security Forces member. Now after, 8 years of service, 3 deployments, 2 permanent change of station, countless amount of fly-away missions and numerous ups and downs I separated from the military and pursuing my dream life with new goals in mind.
Storyteller
Separating from the Air Force made me realize that there are a lot of people who need help enlisting, serving, and separating from the military. I started sharing short videos on TikTok and got a lot of messages asking questions about my military job, experiences, and advice. This is the place where i will be addressing them all.
