Speaker 1: Thursday slash Friday ear here on the fifty five KRC
Speaker 1: Morning Show. And although I did say after seven oh
Speaker 1: five we'd have Lynn Arnold with Abby Smith, which who
Speaker 1: deserves a strong show of support and congratulations, they're both
Speaker 1: in studio and they showed up early, so I'm like,
Speaker 1: why don't we just start talking now in studio Lynn
Speaker 1: Arnold with the Young Marines and Abby Smith, who is
Speaker 1: an award winner. But real quick, and I'll give you
Speaker 1: all the information on how to get in touch with
Speaker 1: the Young Marines, what they're all about. We're going to
Speaker 1: talk about that in the next several segments. I just
Speaker 1: want to salute the Help Squad and thank you Cribbage
Speaker 1: Mike for bringing this one to my attention. I did
Speaker 1: see it in the background though I wasn't watching it live.
Speaker 1: Channel five did a news story on the Help Squad.
Speaker 1: Brian Ibel is out there and he's on a Christian
Speaker 1: mission to help folks in need. And one of the
Speaker 1: just an amazing success story. They had a single mom
Speaker 1: who was spending more than three hours every single day
Speaker 1: on the bus just to get to work. I mean
Speaker 1: she had like forty minute commute and a transfer and
Speaker 1: then it was just awful. Well, the Help Squad, nonprofit
Speaker 1: started by Brian Ibold, former police officer, gave her a
Speaker 1: car and she is beside herself with gratitude. But that
Speaker 1: is the beauty of what the Help Squad does. Individuals
Speaker 1: that have true needs, they vet them and they make
Speaker 1: sure that they get what they need. Maybe you need
Speaker 1: help with a monthly rent check, maybe you need some
Speaker 1: specific product or service, they get you in touch. So
Speaker 1: a big props to the Help Squad. You can find
Speaker 1: them online the Help Squad sincywithy dot com. Brian is
Speaker 1: on a desperate mission to get folks that donate to
Speaker 1: the cause. And again this is his mission to help
Speaker 1: people in need and it really will help them. Every
Speaker 1: dollar that goes to the Help Squad is going to
Speaker 1: end up in the hands of some worthy, needy individuals.
Speaker 1: So God bless you Brian and everybody that's involved in
Speaker 1: the Help Squad, including Westside Jim Keefer if you're out there, brother,
Speaker 1: God bless you all. And without further ado in studio,
Speaker 1: it's always a treat to see her. Lynn Arnold from
Speaker 1: the Young Marines, along with the wonderful Abby Smith who's
Speaker 1: been receiving an award. It is a pleasure to have
Speaker 1: you here.
Speaker 3: Good morning, Thank you for having us.
Speaker 1: And you know you Len. Your name came up when
Speaker 1: I was talking to the Patriots lighting guy last week. Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: you're the better half. I told him. I kicked his
Speaker 1: coverage without question.
Speaker 4: We both did.
Speaker 1: It's been a while since you've been in the studio,
Speaker 1: So remind my listeners and I'll give you the website.
Speaker 1: It's NKY Northern Kentucky Nkyyongmarnes dot com. Where good kids
Speaker 1: become great leaders. That's the mission statement. So remind my
Speaker 1: listeners about how you got involved with the Young Marines,
Speaker 1: and I know you have a particularly strong tie to
Speaker 1: them giving your daughter's connection.
Speaker 5: I got involved actually speaking to a volunteer, a veteran
Speaker 5: at a blood drive. I met a veteran at a
Speaker 5: blood drive and we talked and talked and talked, and
Speaker 5: at the end of the donation, he just said, or
Speaker 5: I'd said, my eight year old son would have loved
Speaker 5: to have listened to every one of your story.
Speaker 4: I hope I can remember them.
Speaker 5: And he said, you have an eight year old that
Speaker 5: loves a military and likes learning about it, and I
Speaker 5: said I do, and he said, well, look up to
Speaker 5: young Marines. And so when I got home, I did
Speaker 5: look up the and my son at the time was eight,
Speaker 5: my daughter was ten, and then the following spring they
Speaker 5: both joined the program.
Speaker 4: Her not so willing.
Speaker 1: Literally ask you that is was this their idea?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 5: My son, yes, he was in before when he heard
Speaker 5: the name. He didn't even need to research it. I
Speaker 5: you know, I attended they would open houses with him.
Speaker 5: And my daughter went to and she had no desire,
Speaker 5: and then there was a parent there that talked her
Speaker 5: into it. Said, you know, do you enjoy school and
Speaker 5: she said, I like learning, I don't really enjoy school.
Speaker 5: And he said are the kids immature and she said yes,
Speaker 5: and he said come here, you're gonna love these kids here.
Speaker 4: You'll make friends here. And that was it for her.
Speaker 1: Oh that's awesome, because I remember when I was signed
Speaker 1: up to join the Marlins and over my objections. It's
Speaker 1: like I didn't want to do it, but I, you know,
Speaker 1: I woke up and after three plus years and then
Speaker 1: a better person is a consequence of dealing with it.
Speaker 1: And going through it. So there's a lot to be
Speaker 1: said about that. And thanks for good parents like you
Speaker 1: who will insist that their children pursue these ventures, because
Speaker 1: I know your daughter ended up doing phenomenally well.
Speaker 2: She did.
Speaker 5: She graduated from her recruit training as the honor grad
Speaker 5: and you know, to the chagrin of her brother, right
Speaker 5: who was you know, this was his thing. But then
Speaker 5: she went on to become Battalian Young Marine of the Year,
Speaker 5: Division Young Marain of the Year like Abbey Smithy, and
Speaker 5: then on to National Young Marine of the Year. And
Speaker 5: then she got her appointment to the Coast Guard Academy.
Speaker 5: And when she went to the Coast Guard Academy her
Speaker 5: senior year there she was in a very tough major
Speaker 5: and graduated with honors. But she was also the regimental commander,
Speaker 5: which meant the top military get out at the Coast.
Speaker 1: Guard Academy when she's holy cow.
Speaker 5: So it gave her a great basis and I mean
Speaker 5: great contexts, great people across the nation.
Speaker 4: But then to get to that point, you know how amazing.
Speaker 1: That is absolutely amazing. So a little sibling rivalry on
Speaker 1: that little head.
Speaker 4: But my son went to the Marine Corps. He did
Speaker 4: five in the Marine Corps.
Speaker 5: Now he's in college in Texas, and she's actually a
Speaker 5: civilian working for the Navy.
Speaker 1: Well, salute to them, and thank you both for your
Speaker 1: service to our country and then of course forgetting your
Speaker 1: young people involved. I'm sure it was a real rewarding
Speaker 1: experience for you.
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
Speaker 5: I have learned so much from the Young Marines program
Speaker 5: and met so many great people.
Speaker 4: And now I.
Speaker 5: Think two weeks, Abby, I think my anniversary's coming up,
Speaker 5: my sixteen year anniversary with the Young Marines as a volunteer,
Speaker 5: and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know how you every time
Speaker 1: we've talked about this, your enthusiasm comes through loud and clear.

Speaker 1: Northern Kentucky Young Marines. Abby, Now it's your turn to talk.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 1: It's a pleasure having you here.
Speaker 3: Great to be here, sir.
Speaker 1: So, how long have you You're sixteen years old, I
Speaker 1: understand how long have you been with the Northern Kentucky Marines.
Speaker 6: I've been in since twenty nineteen, since I was eleven
Speaker 6: years old.
Speaker 1: Eleven and you told me you have a regret that
Speaker 1: you didn't start earlier.
Speaker 6: Yes, sir, I wish I joined earlier so I could
Speaker 6: get the full ten year experience in this program.
Speaker 1: That's just amazing to me. Now, how young can you
Speaker 1: be to join the Northern Kentucky Young Marines.
Speaker 3: You have to be eight years old at the start
Speaker 3: of our core training.
Speaker 1: Eight years old, so you're gonna missed a couple of years. Now,
Speaker 1: what drew you to want to become a Young Marine?
Speaker 6: Well, I've always had a passion for the military, ever
Speaker 6: since I was a child, before I can remember, I've
Speaker 6: wanted to join the military, even before I knew it
Speaker 6: was separated into different branches, and my school teacher, Miss Claire,
Speaker 6: and a USO officer actually mss MS. They introduced me
Speaker 6: to this program because they knew of my passion, and
Speaker 6: immediately I wanted to join because this seemed like the
Speaker 6: greatest opportunity and greatest challenge that I could face.
Speaker 1: Now, what inspired you to want to? I mean, Eddie,
Speaker 1: that young of an age to want to become a
Speaker 1: member of American Armed Forces? Did you like like I
Speaker 1: grew up? Here's my story, and I always say out
Speaker 1: loud one of the reasons I supported veterans and veterans
Speaker 1: causes and the military generally speaking, is because I didn't
Speaker 1: sign up. I did not enlist. But I was inspired
Speaker 1: by old World War two movies with John Wayne, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean like sands of Ewu Jima, for example. And
Speaker 1: Lynn Arnold's daughter brought me back some sand from Ewo Gma,
Speaker 1: which I still have on my dress or I see
Speaker 1: it every day and I think of her every day. Lynn,
Speaker 1: by the way, but that that was inspiring to me. Now,
Speaker 1: you're a lot younger than me, So what inspired you?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 6: I get asked that question a lot of that, and
Speaker 6: part of the reason was three of my grandparents were
Speaker 6: in the military, and I just grew up with them,
Speaker 6: seeing them and the respec they have for our nation
Speaker 6: and what they did to make our nation what it is,
Speaker 6: and then hearing from my parents of how proud they
Speaker 6: are of our country, I just knew I wanted to
Speaker 6: do that. I wanted to help our country be the
Speaker 6: free place that it is today.
Speaker 1: That is so awesome to hear. And when you were
Speaker 1: saying that, and you know, I grew up in a
Speaker 1: similar environment. My parents very patriotic, and I think that's
Speaker 1: where my patriotism comes from. I understand the gift that
Speaker 1: we were born with since we were here in the
Speaker 1: United States of freedom, the idea and the concept of freedom.
Speaker 1: I just it is everything that is me and my being.
Speaker 1: But I was brought up in that environment as well.
Speaker 1: And when you were saying that, I was thinking of
Speaker 1: all the people who are or brought up in sort
Speaker 1: of a hate eight full anti American. American is bad
Speaker 1: and evil for all these you know in the list
Speaker 1: of reasons, what a contrast that must be, and how
Speaker 1: that person is not going to be raised in an
Speaker 1: environment where they have any respect for their country.
Speaker 6: It's a shame it's a shame, and I know many
Speaker 6: classmates who are brought up in that environment. I feel sad, honestly,
Speaker 6: because I am proud of my country, and we should
Speaker 6: all be proud of our country because we are at
Speaker 6: the forefront of freedom in the world and uphold the
Speaker 6: values that are important to us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, people can look at us from Afar and say, gosh,
Speaker 1: they're allowed to speak their mind. Gosh, they are allowed
Speaker 1: to pursue whatever interest they want to pursue. Gosh, just
Speaker 1: you know, no wealth redistribution, well some anyway. But I
Speaker 1: get the website again, it's NKY Young Marines dot Com.
Speaker 1: You got a young person in your family, you got
Speaker 1: to get them hooked up with this organization. Now, tell
Speaker 1: me about a day in the life of a Northern
Speaker 1: Kentucky Young Marine. What does it involve. I know it's
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of different things that you learn and
Speaker 1: the exercises you go through. But tell me about it.
Speaker 1: What's why.
Speaker 6: Well, when you first join the program, you're not allowed
Speaker 6: to just join. You have to be taught how to
Speaker 6: wear the uniform properly, taught how to be an ambassador
Speaker 6: of the Young Marines program. So all the kids who
Speaker 6: join our program have to go through recruit training, which
Speaker 6: is six to seven Saturdays and one overnight where they
Speaker 6: learn how to be a young marine.
Speaker 3: After that, we have drills and events.
Speaker 6: We have drills every other Saturday, which are around seven hours,
Speaker 6: so it's basically another school day where we teach them
Speaker 6: classes on life skills, public speaking, first aid, field skills,
Speaker 6: closer to drill, the marching you see in some of
Speaker 6: those movies, PT Physical fitness, and living a healthy drug
Speaker 6: free lifestyle.
Speaker 5: WHOA in Military American history, in military American history, and chivalry,
Speaker 5: and all of this is taught by our young Marines.
Speaker 6: We do have guest speakers that come in, but all
Speaker 6: of our young Marines are told to teach classes on
Speaker 6: topics that they want to teach about within our unit.
Speaker 1: Oh that's cool, well, and that's I guess where your
Speaker 1: public speaking sitills come from. Because you're teaching the other
Speaker 1: young marines. You got to stand up in front of
Speaker 1: the room and talk. That's awesome, Yes, sir, now you
Speaker 1: on that topic alone. And you know, I get invited
Speaker 1: to speak at events from time to time and I
Speaker 1: don't have any problem doing it, and I don't struggle,
Speaker 1: and I used to struggle with nervousness or you know why,
Speaker 1: and I always keep it in the back of my mind.
Speaker 1: No one wants to be up in the front of
Speaker 1: the room usually, you know, like I don't want to
Speaker 1: do that and Ie, so you're like, you know what,
Speaker 1: since it doesn't bother me, I'll fall on the sword.
Speaker 1: I'll take the challenge. But you seem really enthused about speaking,
Speaker 1: and does it bother you at all to do public speaking?
Speaker 6: It did when I first joined this program. I hated
Speaker 6: speaking in public, even to my friends. Sometimes I don't
Speaker 6: want to talk to you. But after experiencing so much
Speaker 6: of this program and learning how to talk publicly and
Speaker 6: learning how to be confident when we're speaking, it's so
Speaker 6: much easier now, And especially when I'm talking about being Marines.
Speaker 6: It's easy to be passionate about it because it's changed
Speaker 6: my life.
Speaker 1: And you know, I know this is radio, but if
Speaker 1: you could see the inspired look on Abby's face, I
Speaker 1: mean this, this message comes across just absolutely loud and clear.
Speaker 1: She is just really, really, really a devotet and a
Speaker 1: believer in what she's doing with the young Marines. Is
Speaker 1: it Are there any of the like for example, the
Speaker 1: PT is even difficult, means it hard to consider it work, like,
Speaker 1: oh jeez, it's a push up day or something like that.
Speaker 6: We do not have specific days push ups.
Speaker 3: But yes, it is.
Speaker 6: A challenge, especially when you're younger and you're working through
Speaker 6: the ranks and getting your sign offs. It is like
Speaker 6: another school day where you have to put in the effort.
Speaker 6: And there are some days where I'm like, wow, this
Speaker 6: is a struggle, but it's always an opportunity to improve.
Speaker 6: And I just look back and I see all those
Speaker 6: days where I struggled have made me the person I am.
Speaker 6: And I hope the young marines in our units see
Speaker 6: that that these struggles are making them better as people.
Speaker 1: Well. And I suppose, like you had Lynn with your
Speaker 1: children and the sibling right that you're inspired by your
Speaker 1: fellow young marine. So maybe you're not feeling quite up
Speaker 1: to the challenge that given day, but if you look
Speaker 1: around you, then you do step up and uh and
Speaker 1: and meet the demands of whatever it is you're going
Speaker 1: through that day.
Speaker 6: Yes, sir, we do consider ourselves a family. I see
Speaker 6: these kids almost every day, sometimes in the summer at
Speaker 6: the events we go to, and you learn so much
Speaker 6: about them and without this program, I wouldn't have met
Speaker 6: my young Marine's family.
Speaker 3: So I'll be forever grateful for that.
Speaker 1: Like sort of like a fraternity or sorority, you know,
Speaker 1: band of comrades are was it easy to make friends
Speaker 1: with them? A little hesitation there.
Speaker 4: She didn't speak at first.
Speaker 1: I saw her and she was contemplating that question.
Speaker 6: When I first joined, sir, I was really shy and introverted.
Speaker 6: I know that's a word that's thrown around a lot,
Speaker 6: but really it was hard for me to make friends
Speaker 6: these people who I saw as idols. They were higher
Speaker 6: up in the program and me just joining. I'm like, wow,
Speaker 6: how could I ever be like them? But I had
Speaker 6: my recruit training, I had my friends who were all
Speaker 6: working towards the same goal, and they pushed me to
Speaker 6: do better. And yes, I did become friends with all
Speaker 6: of them.
Speaker 1: What an inspiration you are. We're going to bring her back,
Speaker 1: Abbie Smith along with Lynn Arnold in the studio talking
Speaker 1: about the Northern Kentucky Young Marines. You know what, I
Speaker 1: think your phone's going to be bringing off up later
Speaker 1: today to hear her, and I'm some mom and dad
Speaker 1: is out there going jeez, I got an hate year
Speaker 1: old listen to her. You know, ah, we got to
Speaker 1: get there in this program. We'll bring it right back.
Speaker 1: Pause for a moment. So I mentioned doctor Fred Pack
Speaker 1: and doctor Meghan Frew, the dynamic duo of dentistry. Let
Speaker 1: me start with doctor Fruit. She is just an absolutely
Speaker 1: amazing lady. And know I want to discount doctor fred
Speaker 1: Pack because he is just a literal genius. But for
Speaker 1: a lot of people out there, I don't understand not
Speaker 1: liking to go to the dentist because I love going
Speaker 1: to the dentist because every time I come out of
Speaker 1: the dentist's office, you know, I feel refreshed, my teeth
Speaker 1: are clean, I feel confident. I was a good bill
Speaker 1: of health, and I'm proud of that. But if you're
Speaker 1: one of those folks that doesn't like going to the dentist,
Speaker 1: you need to get in the chair of doctor Meghan Frue.
Speaker 1: She is an absolute breath of fresh air, friendly, charming,
Speaker 1: easy on the eyes. I can tell you that out
Speaker 1: loud knowing my wife is listening, but fundamentally of wonderful,
Speaker 1: fantastic dentists, it's going to cause you to feel really
Speaker 1: at ease. And if you need to be more at
Speaker 1: ease than that they do sedation dentistry. You're there at
Speaker 1: the practice. The most state of the art practice you're
Speaker 1: ever going to come across is doctor Pack and Frew
Speaker 1: and over to doctor Fred Pack, a fellow with the
Speaker 1: American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. There's only three of them
Speaker 1: in the entire state of Ohio. I think, only like
Speaker 1: fifty in the entire world. That's because he has met
Speaker 1: that level of standard that the Fellowship requires, because he
Speaker 1: is a genius when it comes to cosmetic dentistry, life changing, exceptional,
Speaker 1: transformative cosmetic dentistry. That's doctor Fred Pack and Megan Freu
Speaker 1: is working under accreditation right now, so you're in great
Speaker 1: hands with that practice. I've been going there for probably
Speaker 1: more than a decade. I know more than a decade.
Speaker 1: The old place is filled with folks of a treaty
Speaker 1: like family, so it is a truly comfortable environment for
Speaker 1: all things dentistry, most notably cosmetic dentistry. Five one three,

Speaker 1: at her award winning record here, Abby Smith one of
Speaker 1: the Northern Kentucky Young Marines online at NKY Young Marines
Speaker 1: dot com. This is just an amazing organization and thanks
Speaker 1: thanks to Lynn Arnold. I have met quite a few
Speaker 1: of the Young Marines over the years. What an amazing
Speaker 1: and outstanding group of young people. They truly are as
Speaker 1: demonstrated and you can hear for yourself by Abby Smith.
Speaker 1: Obviously a great public speaker, confident young lady, and that
Speaker 1: confidence bolstered by her participation in the Northern Kentucky Young Marines.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you want to get your kids involved with that,
Speaker 1: and congratulations Abby. I should have maybe mentioned at the
Speaker 1: outset you are the Division three Young Marine of the Year. Yes,
Speaker 1: sir see I took notes. I appreciate it, no problem. No,
Speaker 1: what was involved in the competition? You have to like
Speaker 1: beat people up and like do marksmanship or not that time?
Speaker 1: So okay, So seriously, though, I just I am wildly
Speaker 1: curious how does one become the Division THI Young Marine
Speaker 1: of the Year.
Speaker 6: Well, there's a lot of work put into a way
Speaker 6: before the actual promotion boards, which is like a job interview.
Speaker 6: Before then, I had to attend three leadership schools, which
Speaker 6: are stopping points in our young Marines career where we
Speaker 6: have to learn about the different leadership styles and how
Speaker 6: to lead our young Marines as we're progressing through the program.
Speaker 6: And that started when I was twelve years old when
Speaker 6: I went to Maryland, thirteen for the next one in Georgia,
Speaker 6: and fifteen in California, where I was second at the last, one.
Speaker 4: Second out of forty eight marines across the country.
Speaker 1: Oh my word. Wait, this is like I'm just getting
Speaker 1: the picture. This is really like genuine military training you're
Speaker 1: going through here.
Speaker 3: It is modeled after it, sir.
Speaker 1: Future leaders of America. I'm sitting in front of one
Speaker 1: right now. She's going to be a congress person or
Speaker 1: a senator someday. Oh my word. All right, and it's
Speaker 1: not over there. You continue to compete against other young Marines,
Speaker 1: and I guess all of the division young Marines of
Speaker 1: the year then go off to like Jeopardy and you
Speaker 1: can end up competing with.
Speaker 3: Them, not really like Jeopardy, but kind of.
Speaker 1: You don't have to do my words, gospel. I don't know.
Speaker 1: This is why you're here. You're enlightening my listeners in
Speaker 1: the abbey.
Speaker 6: So once we earn the six young Marines across the country,
Speaker 6: they earn the division Young Marine of the Year title.
Speaker 6: We were becoming the top six young Marines in the
Speaker 6: country and April I will be competing against those other
Speaker 6: young Marines for the title of National young Man of
Speaker 6: the Year at a promotion, which is similar to a
Speaker 6: job interview. It'll be in front of the division commanders,
Speaker 6: which are like the top people in our program, our
Speaker 6: national executive Director, many guests who are some of them
Speaker 6: sergeants major of the Marine Corps, which is very stressful
Speaker 6: promotion forward.
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, do they try to recruit you while you
Speaker 1: are there? I mean, I'm serious, because you know you're
Speaker 1: a young marine. You have not you know, enlisted in
Speaker 1: the regular Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, or now Space Force.
Speaker 1: And I'm going to ask you what you were planning
Speaker 1: to on doing as you move forward. But hell, I mean,
Speaker 1: if I was a recruiting office, I'd be all over
Speaker 1: you like white on rice, like you got to come
Speaker 1: over to me when as soon as you turn eighteen,
Speaker 1: Because I need you in the division. Here's what I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do for you. Kind of kind of a pitch.
Speaker 6: Well, I've joined because I wanted to go into the military,
Speaker 6: But young marines across the country they don't. They are
Speaker 6: not forced into the military. While we do teach a
Speaker 6: lot of military customs and traditions and we are modeled
Speaker 6: at the Marine Corps, a lot of our young marines
Speaker 6: end up becoming teachers or different trades across the country.

Speaker 5: Absolutely, And like she said, she wished she had joined earlier.
Speaker 5: It's funny we have young Marines that leave the program,
Speaker 5: and sometimes you know, it's not their decisions. Sometimes it
Speaker 5: is you know, families move or sure whatever, but they
Speaker 5: leave the program. And I've never once heard a young
Speaker 5: marines said I wish I'd quit earlier. But you know,
Speaker 5: I'll have them say I wish I had stayed in
Speaker 5: or I wish I'd joined earlier. But you know, whether
Speaker 5: they make it to her, you know, the accolades that
Speaker 5: Abby has earned for herself or not. They will benefit
Speaker 5: from this program, even if it helps them with school
Speaker 5: reports or job interviews.
Speaker 4: They will benefit.
Speaker 1: There is a question in my mind. Abby, I wish
Speaker 1: you all the best on your future, and I'm very
Speaker 1: confident it will be a successful future. You've been a
Speaker 1: real inspiration for me this morning, and I know an
Speaker 1: inspiration for my listeners who've stuck around to hear what
Speaker 1: you had to say.
