Wing Commander Andrew “Johnno” Johnson has served over 25-years in the Royal Australian Air Force. In 2007, he was part of a four-person crew who landed themselves in the Guinness Book of World Records by rowing across the Tasman Sea from New Zealand to Australia. In 2010, Johnno and a mate rowed the Sepik River, the longest in Papua New Guinea. In this episode, Johnno talks about serving in the Australian Air Force, some of the similarities and differences between the Australian and U.S. military, and why he chose to push his mind and body to the limits in his two rowing expeditions.
