The Debrief That Changed Everything: From FA-18 to $200M Exit (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Christian 'Boo' Bakusis walked into a recruiting office at nine years old. Walked in 104 more times before they finally said yes. That's not persistence. That's obsession. The kind that carves a groove in your soul so deep nothing else fits. He got his wings. Flew FA-18s for the RAAF — one of only 400 fighter pilots minted in four decades. Then the body betrayed him.
