The H.A.V.E. Project Season 2 Episode 2 STOPPAGE TIME CMSGT Robert Ward (Ret).

This is the "STOPPAGE TIME" (extra recording) of Season 2, Episode 2 with Chief Master Sergeant Robert T. Ward (Ret.). He is the current Director of Veteran Services at D'Youville College.

"STOPPAGE TIME", like in professional soccer, is extra time added on to the normal amount of time. These short (less than 5 minutes) extra recordings provide light-hearted insight into the mind/heart of our episode guest. In other words, its a few minutes of fun!
