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.

This week, retired Brigadier General Chris Petty drops in, and things get tactical fast. We kick off with a spicy take on the Space Force proposal to convert National Guard units into active duty. Spoiler: it’s either a brilliant move or a bureaucratic headache wrapped in camouflage. If you’re into Space Force news or just wondering what the heck a “hybrid service” even is, we’ve got thoughts—and probably a few unpopular opinions.
Then we shift gears into full hanger talk as we build the “All-Military Helicopter Team.” Yes, we’re actually arguing which chopper gets the QB slot. Gen Petty rounds out the episode with a strategic deep-dive into the First Battle of the Marne—World War I’s epic “hold the line” moment that changed everything. It's history, heresy, and helmet hair—all in one episode. If you like space podcasts with a side of sarcastic military insight and News for Vets, you’re in the right AO.
