Service Beyond the Military: Brittinie Wick on Women Veterans, AI in Defense & the Power of Purpose

In this episode of The Vector Podcast, Christian Perez sits down with Brittinie Wick — US Air Force veteran, Doctor of Physical Therapy, and founder of the @WomenServeToo podcast. Brittinie shares how her childhood sparked her path to military service, what the transition to civilian life really looks like when your identity has been built around the mission, and why mental health remains one of the most critical and underserved issues facing veterans today. The conversation covers the growing role of AI in military operations, the unique challenges women veterans face in gaining recognition for their service, and why Brittinie believes standards should never be lowered regardless of gender. They also dig into how social media is driving polarization, why open and honest conversations are more important than ever, and what it means to find purpose after the uniform comes off.
