In this episode of the Rebel Vets Podcast, host Derek sits down with Jeff Dietrich, an Army veteran, UNLV alumnus, and former president of Rebel Vets. Jeff shares his journey from growing up as a military brat with both parents in the Army to joining the service himself in 1999. He recounts his father’s advice to follow his own path, his early years working construction, and the moment he decided to enlist. Jeff reflects on the shift in military culture post-9/11, his time in training commands, and eventually deploying to Iraq as a senior medic for a scout company. He offers candid insight into life as a medic—from field training to frontline care during combat patrols. Now director of adult education at UNLV’s Sullivan Center, Jeff also discusses the transition from military to civilian life and the power of education in shaping a new future for veterans.
