About Me Get to Know me.
I'm your ONE cannabis resource for education, resources, direction, and mentoring.
It all started with my Military career...Master Sergeant James W. Johnson Jr.(JJ) retired from the Air Force as Detachment 1 Flight Chief and Combat Flight Engineer, 375th Operations Group, Detachment 1, Will Rogers International Airport, Oklahoma City, OK. As Flight Chief, he mentored an elite group of 25 officers and enlisted personnel flying FAA CL-60 and King Air flight inspection aircraft. James advised the commander on issues relating to DoD’s only combat flight inspection program. In addition, he ensured combat readiness to support national mobility plans during war, crises, contingencies and JCS exercises including Antarctica flight sustainment operations. Read More...

More about Myself...

James developed and lead the Air Force's only Prior Service Sister Service Enlistee Orientation Course.


January 2005, he transitioned to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, Germany where he served as NCOIC of Hematology and Urinalysis Studies. March 2010, Sergeant Johnson completed an unprecedented cross-train as a C-130 Flight Engineer. At this time, he transferred to the 40th Airlift Squadron, Dyess AFB, TX where he served as Flight Chief.


December of 2013 he moved to Little Rock, AFB and served as Instructor Flight Chief of the 50th Airlift Squadron. During his time as Flight Engineer, Sergeant Johnson has logged over 1,100 flight hours. 553.8 served in combat and 132.7 served in combat support while deploying frequently in support of Operations Enduring and Iraqi Freedom.


After retirement, he founded JJGRO Enterprises LLC where he devoted countless hours to learning about Industrial Hemp. In turn, he began assisting farmers across 10 different states through education, connections and consulting. James began reaching out to fellow Veterans helping them understand the Veteran Associations(VA's) system and how to optimize benefits. This led to several amazing opportunities including co-ownership of Active Duty RX and leading within the Battle On The Homefront community. Most recently, he and a group of fellow vets founded Veterans Scientific Laboratories. VSL will provide analytical laboratory services for cannabis growers to ensure consistency of testing in this emerging industry. No matter which path he chooses, the Air Force Core Values of Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in all you do will always be embedded in his DNA.


Consulting with Integrity


Integrity First - Mama and the Air Force both instilled Integrity First from the very beginning. A core value taught from birth and practiced from childhood is now James' character.

Service Before Self - My entire career has been dedicated to the service of Americans and the betterment of our way of life. Nothing has changed. I am a farmers first leader, educator and public speaker.

Excellence in All You Do - It's as simple as that. Service, Respect, Honor & Integrity drive excellence in attitude and action.
