Late For Changeover is the podcast for anyone who’s ever rolled into guard mount a few minutes late but still got the job done—with a story to tell. Hosted by veterans Marty Smith, Eric “Mr. History” Piarrot, Jake Wall, Ana Mondragon, and rotating guests, this weekly show blends military humor, historical deep dives, space-force-level absurdity, and off-the-rails banter. It’s smart, sharp, and just unhinged enough to keep you coming back. From billion-dollar rocket launches to confederate statue debates, every episode serves up irreverent takes from people who’ve been there, done that, and still remember their shift-change stories. ”Swearing In” is a special interview series from Late For Changeover that explores the moment everything changed: the decision to raise your right hand. Through intimate, one-on-one conversations, each episode dives into the personal stories behind enlistment, capturing the motivations, fears, and defining moments that led individuals to military service. From first-generation soldiers to second-chance enlistees, Swearing In honors the deeply human side of the uniform, offering listeners a raw, reflective look at where the journey really begins. Late For Changeover isn’t just jokes and jargon. Beneath the laughs are reflections on identity, transition, leadership, and what it means to serve—and then move on. Whether you’re a vet, an active-duty listener, or just someone who loves to laugh at acronyms and unpack the weirdness of bureaucracy, you’ll feel right at home. No branch is spared, no topic is off limits, and no one escapes a roast—especially the hosts. Hit subscribe, and join the formation. Just don’t be late. And be sure to join the fun on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrzPMzqLMg05QK9B2tpO4NA

This week on Late For Changeover, we kick things off with a bang—literally—as we look back at the deadly 1968 explosion aboard the USS Westchester County. Then we launch into the stars (and maybe into war?) with a brand-new Space Force painting that gives us a not-so-subtle peek into future space warfare. Add in the Air Force’s new all-electric plane (cue jokes about plugging it in at a flightline outlet), and we've got lift-off.
But wait—there’s more dysfunction to go around. The Air Force and Space Force just raised the max age for active-duty recruits (because apparently we’re all still young at heart), the National Guard hasn’t paid thousands in promised enlistment bonuses (surprised?), and Guard and Reserve troops are getting ghosted on disability claims. We close it all out with the Military Movie Showdown Game, where we battle-test the most iconic military films for glory and probable factual inaccuracy. If you’re into Space Force news, furious footnotes, or News for Vets with a side of snark, you’re in the right AO.
