Commander John Picco - Retired U.S. naval aviator will share true stories about how relentless preparation and the “train like you fight” ethos deliver split‑second execution in combat. Drawing on 28 years in naval aviation, the Commander will share vivid firsthand experiences to demonstrate the essential role of calculated risk‑taking, pushing to the edge and just past it, and owning results with no excuses. His presentation will highlight how high‑intensity training, trust in your wingman, and trust in yourself create a mindset where mission success is all that matters.
