I retired from the Army in 2018 and I just yesterday admitted to a VA counselor that I have PTSD and I am finally going to start treatment. Watching these podcasts really helped me admit my issues
Look-into/consider Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), EMDR therapy and Transcranial Megnetic Stimulation! I'm not a veteran myself, but come from a medical family, and have heard decent things regarding these specific treatments for vets w/ P.T.S.D.
Strong work, man!
It's a very, very hard road. Fortunately, all you have to do is not quit and you'll be successful.
To add to the "light at the end of the tunnel":
In a few years, when you've gotten your shit wired tight, you're going to start noticing a bunch of other vets around you who need help. By doing this, you are scouting the path for them, and building credibility. You will soon have the opportunity to show them a path towards getting better.
Keep that in mind if your path gets hard in the next few months/years. It's not just you - there are thousands of dudes like you and me out there. If some of us can get better, we can turn around and give a hand to guys who are worse off - like negotiating a wall on an O Course.
A problem shared, is a problem halved.
Best of all fortunes to you.
@@ib3scope Took me 18 years to get it, things will change for you, keep up the work.
Addressing openly for the first time is the hardest step. You've got this!
I love seeing Ryan talk about something in the past like smiling rambling about a story or specific incident that he’s clearly enjoying talking about and then come back to reality and straighten up returning to the original question 😂
I'm here to stay connected to the veteran community. I served in the marine corps and deployed to Afghanistan. I didn't do much but I have my fair share of problems and I definitely feel like others have had it worse.
And I work with a guy (same building different department) that was a 160th crew chief.
Just a friendly FYI... Change your name... There's already a Ronin (Tu Lam), and you definitely ain't him lol.
I'm so glad I found this, because Ryan always so casually mentions "I was an attack helicopter pilot and CIA operative over a 15 year career" and just stops and moves on and I keep listening to his channel going HOW CAN YOU JUST BRUSH OVER THAT AND NOT SPILL 😂
I was in Helmand back in 10’ and 11’ and had CAS from apaches on several occations while on patrol. AH-64 and A-10 is the definition of force multipliers for a guy on the ground - we love those dudes. Great interview!
The crossover we've been waiting for 🙏 now just get Ryan to give you some audio upgrade advice 😉😆👍
Ryan has interviewed characters like Shrek and Gravy... .... but I have always wanted to hear his "Combat Story"!!
He has a great channel....
He is a interviewer extraordinaire.... as good as Ritland...
So.... send it!!
Combat stories is in my top 3 favorite shows. You guys kick ass too. Thank you for you're services.
So glad to finally hear Ryan's story after watching all his interviews of other people on his channel
Loving the Winchester reference. I was UK J2, posted in Afg to FOB Oulette. You guys were Winchester'ing your Cobras pretty much every hour of every day.
Such amazing people have served our great country! God Bless 🇺🇲
2 things ground guys love to hear is the "brrrrrrttt" of an a10, and the chop of the blades of an apache.
FUCK YES! My two favorite military shows.
Edit: All three of you are nerds and I fucking love it. (It’s technically 4 of you, I see you D)
Ryan seems to be a really cool guy
Damn! A couple of my top podcasts coming together for a crossover! This is awesome!
I was an Apache Crew Chief. On the subject of experiences and PTSD, it’s definitely relative. I definitely struggled a lot when I got home and I had to get myself help. My behavior was very much driven by extreme anxiety and depression.
I talk with a lot of veterans from all walks of life and when you drop those titles and ego built from belonging to separate communities, you can really relate to any of them. Doesn’t matter what you were and what you did, we all deal with the same sort of conditions.
I didnt really talk about certain things at first until a therapist told me I should-just to let it out and decompress. Now I’m a pretty open book but I try to just keep it antidotal and intend to not make myself seem as someone special. Just sharing stories and sentiments to help ease my mind. And it helps a lot to listen to other stories or interviews of other veterans.
This was a great interview! Also, I really liked what Dave said about selection.
"This is just the commute to get to my job."
-Dave
The fix-wing aircraft is a civilian version of the King Air 350 which is what my son is going now
I listen to The Team Room and Combat Stories along with SOG Cast , Joko , and others . I love the crossover between shows and when the interviewer becomes interviewee. Keep up the solid work guys.
Your doing important work.
PS
My Pop Pop was in the 120th of the 30th infantry and fought threw Europe making staff Sargent and receiving a Silver Star with OLC Bronze Star and Purple Heart from Mortain France. I was lucky to here his stories and have them written down . But my cousins nephews and younger family never got to here them from him in his Baltimore drawl with a cigarette and Martini recount getting hit by tank shrapnel and being surrounded at Mortain.I wish he had had the chance to be interviewed by other veterans. He always said that most books were usually written by Generals and the only general he ever saw up front was killed during operation Cobra . Cheers guys and thanks again. 🥃🍻
Awesome podcast! My admiration for аll three of you for your humbleness, simplicity and sincerity.
I've watched a lot of Ryans podcasts and almost every one l've thought to myself that l want to see his Combat Story. He has diffent style of interiew. Thanks for having him on.
great show - Ryan, Dave and Jack are amazing
Don't forget...you're amazing too Ray.
I just happened to find this site. Great discussion by professionals who have been there. Old retired Soldier here, Quang Tri Province, RVN, 3/70-3/71, FA whole career. STAY SAFE!
So great to see two of my favourite podcasts coming together. All you guys do amazing work with these. Thank you
This is an excellent presentation with the details of the process and operations, Mr. Fugit has excellent recall .....
You guys need to get Andy stumpf on here or go on his podcast.
Just found this channel via Combat Story. Now two awesome channels to listen to living history.
Glad someone interviewed Ryan and he’s able to tell his view of the military world.
Great interview! Big fan of Ryan’s podcast.
Great job to all 3 of you! And, great job on the interview with Dave on combat story. My two favorite shows!
It would've been cool to know more about the different personality types of the different helicopter pilots. Lol
Hi from South Africa
i LOVE PILOTS JOBS hosts
Probably one of my favorite Team House podcasts (surprisingly). It was great to hear the Combat Story from ""Combat Story". Truly one of the best Team House's, I'm usually drawn to infantry podcasts but this was great. Thanks Ryan for serving!
Stoked💯💯👍🏽👍🏽 Very articulate interview
Has it ever occurred to you morons who take in these videos what BS they are. "Merca!" BS drives youtube.
As a fan of both of your podcasts, this was a pleasure to watch. Thanks much you guys for the great podcasts but more importantly your service to our country. 🇺🇸🙏
I was In Afghanistan from july08 -july09 with an infantry unit. Did you ever fly to Farah?
Great interview!
Ive been watching Combat Story since the first few episodes. Ive always wondered what Ryan's story was.... Glad I saw the podcast with you guys and found it here... New subscriber.
Definitely one of the better shows for me. Great job guys ! Salute
My first duty stations were Vilseck and Graf. Awesome interview
Love both podcasts. Thanks for interviewing Ryan. Loved this one
A good one. Enjoy watching both of you podcast.
Great stuff. A short one - moving in covert cars from Numinayah to Scania. Bit of a firefight and over the nett is an accented voice asking if we need help - Yep. Lots of details but ended up with two Polish gunships - thanks to the Gods of V panels and designators :)
Hey Georgetown law grad myself then 23 year career as an Army MP then retired JAG lawyer
Awesome. I watched several of these Pod casts etc, You guys are Great!
On the visualization point, when I went through infantry OSUT in 2019, the Army hired sport psychologists to come in and talk to us about visualization and some other things. Unfortunately our drill sergeants called them retarded (to us, not to them) and told us not to listen to them but there's apparently an effort from the Army to teach visualization to basic Infantrymen now.
The Bag was shown real well in the movie w nicholas cage
Hey-Oooooohh! What a treat!
HIGH ANGLE GUN RUNS ARE FUN TOO WATCH.
@the team house - I was told I had PTSD and then I was told 2 more times I think before I started to believe and like you guys had also mentioned, there's always that "war hero" if you will that should be in your seat you feel like. Really appreciate the video.
My nephew flies Apache helicopters! 😁 He's older now so doing less flying and more other stuff.
Great interview, this dude is sharp.
Damn funny, thanks for getting it done sirs

Dave, watching your Combat Story right now. Hey, did you ever meet or work with Luis Elizondo?
Thanks for checking it out. And his name doesn’t sound familiar to me.
@@Hawaii808_11 Not that I remember.
Legit State Department haha. The only one on any of these shows.
Awesome cast one of the best ive seen
From Thailand 🇹🇭
I am sorry I just discovered this channel. But now I am gladly playing catch-up. I'll take a shower eventually
Another great show. Thanks Ryan!
Saw your interview of Ryan Fugit.
Those attack choppers pretty good against full mountain goats. What would be their life span on the ost front right now?
you're pretty good talking shit behind a keyboard and an anonymous account 🤷♂
I love the Intro
My two favorite podcasts. I run around all day listening to you guys. RLTW
Great show!
Curious as to what is on the bookshelves of both parties, and has any been read?

I hate that intro so much.
Narrator doesn't have a good radio voice.
@@sauljahboi5965 yea that’s the only thing that needs change lol but jack and David are awesome
Any chance of an interview with Richard Marcinko? @Team House
LOTR Two Towers : Battle of Helm's Deep
Can you guys do a video on the Nordstream pipeline that was done by special ops I think Norway but I’m not sure about the actual operators I know the orders came from the US but you guys know as well as me US does espionage of all sorts of things like blowing dams to destroy villages or cause chaos in countries that aren’t down with the world police.
Yeah white phosphorus different warhead rockets do you know coming off A-10’s 5 foot tall bad ass, hellfire missiles do you not think anyone’s paying attention to this?❤
Ive decided..that it's not cheating if Ryan appears on your podcast...so..I just subscribed. I'm looking forward to your future content..and I'm going to try to watch everything I missed. Nice meeting you guys.
Piolets get task saturated and so can crew cheifs so we have 12 hours before we have to get an extention by the comander
👍
But are they “Crew Chiefs”…
Started off good, but he was giving full of chit tales by the end
How many special forces in ukraine Russian guy with gold teeth said SF are girly men
I get it that sponsors make your guys’ podcast possible, but scheeezz, that was cringe guys… my 2 cents, you gotta find a more relatable way to promote the shit, to make it a bit more credible. Sorry if too blunt, but I suspect I speak for others too…
😢😢😊b
mic is way to loud
My two favorite RUclips channels I watch John Van Zyl too , as a kid growing up I would sneak off to the mall and hit the book store and get the latest copy of soldier of fortune magazine and read the stories of Vietnam and follow the current news and interview on the Rhodesian Bush wars..it was the reason why I joined the Army in my senior year of high school later on getting to actually meet Col Brown
