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

I welcome in former Army Specialist 4, Bjorn Oswalt today. Bjorn grew up in Detroit, MI. After graduating high school in 1969, he came out to Colorado to work for Mountain Bell. As his draft number drew closer, he returned to Michigan and enlisted in the US Army. He attended basic training at Ft. Knox, KY, then attended Advanced Individual Training (AIT) at Ft. Gordon, GA. His Military Occupation Specialty (MOS) was 31M, Tactical Control Room Technician. Bjorn’s first assignment was with the 1st Infantry Division at Ft. Riley, KS. He later went to Germany as part of the 1st Armored Division. Returning to the US, he left Active Duty and joined the National Guard in Arizona as a Surveyor for a Field Artillery Battalion. He exited military service in 1987 and settled in Colorado.
