    As a kid in middle school, high school, I read books about MACV-SOG, the Green Berets, Delta, Navy Seals, etc. I did not go down that path, instead I joined the Air Force as a Loadmaster on C-17s. I flew all over the world, I loved it. When I got out I went into Law Enforcement with a desire to help people, make a difference in my small area of the world. I draw upon the lessons I’ve read about from these Titans and try to employ their lessons learned in my daily routine and duties. I’ve found it’s kept me alive, I’m able to teach younger, inexperienced LEOs how to conduct themselves.

    Tilt, proud to say, while in Iraq, I was on a mission that was the modern day 2006 equivalent of ELDEST SON. I being well versed on much of what had been written about SOG was the only one that was aware of the historical significance of what we were doing. Was very exciting.. However, the difference was we only inserted 1 ODA verified. The other was either ODA in disguise( I think he was an iraqi) only 2 were inserted and only one was armed.. We sold SA missiles back to the bad guys, tracked movement and they would detonate when fired.. Lol.. Thanks for paving the way for snake eaters to continue the legacy.

I'll never forget the ODA with his big red beard telling us over I.C.S. what we were doing. It
      was a thankful change of pace, as being almost done with a two week rotation of battle field circulation mission(I needed a change) The jaburi tribe was a bunch of smugglers in the north that would literally smuggle anything from cigarettes to SA-16 shoulder fired missiles. Although it was an uneventful mission as far as no contact. It was a successful mission in that we were able to insert 2 operators undetected, they succeeded in their tasking and a.successful exfil followed by Intel as far as tracking to warehouse facilities and bad guy where about.. Lol.. honestly speaking, missions with ODA and Rangers were some of the most fun, dangerous, prideful, memorable moments aside from birth of children I have ever had.

      Indeed, I was a kid when these guys came home from that nightmare and I saw how they got treated when they got back and throughout the 70's, even though I was only a kid I still felt like I should do my part to make up for how they were treated, and the only thing that I was capable of doing was to enlist in the military as a way to show them that some of us still believed in our country and that what they'd gone through wasn't in vain, it'll never cease to amaze me that a little kid could see that how they were treated was wrong but somehow that point slipped past the grown-up's of the time.
      They were the men who inspired me to enlist and then they were the men who trained me after I did, as with most of the troops I was in with the Vietnam vets were 100% rock star to us, and it's like I've told several of them, "You wouldn't have had to worry about any of us turning tail and running when a fight broke out, because the thought of letting you guy's down was far more horrifying than the thought of getting killed".

    This is friggin EPIC. This is why I have always supported Jocko and all his endeavours: The man is humble enough to step out of the way for this amazing generation of warriors and let them tell THEIR OWN stories! Very Excited! Let's get it poppin! 👍

    You men are the best of the best and think it’s a dang shame you had to wait that many years to be recognized and duly decorated for what you gave for this country. There isn’t enough thanks in the world for what you gave, but THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

    Keep it up!
    I was 16 when I used to work out at the YMCA at 5 am. Then go to the high school library. I found books about the Seals in the rung sat, Green berets, LRRPs and force recon Marines in the hills and jungles. Time/Life books I think it was. That started my interest.
    I joined the Marines in '91, but recon was not in my pipeline.(signals intelligence)
    I got my war on the streets of a southwestern US city, years later on a SWAT team. I had made it. I finally made it to a specialized team. That's all I wanted. Took 10 years.
    What the special forces of our country do is nothing but spectacular. Unbelievable, true combat professionals.
    I have had the privilege to know, and work with, a Navy Seal, a Green beret, Rangers, and grunt Marines and Army. I guess the universe gives what's on your mind, ha!!
    I now work for the VA, (best job ever) and am surrounded by fellow vets every day. It is humbling......
    I'm 51. Your podcast brings me back to those teen years. Reading and now hearing, all the stories of our beloved Vietnam vets and all vets.
    Thank you for your podcast. Jocko for will make sure you have an episode 2, and beyond.
    Most people dont know SOG from their elbow. Its important to know this stuff. Its US military history, and very special.
    Thank you for making a Sunday morning a cool experience.
    - 91 to 95, US Marines, 98 to 05, SWAT cop,
    Dad was a Marine drill instructor on parris island during Korea, nephew is on float in the south china sea right now. My beloved stepson was Army and is now a cop. I wouldn't have life any other way. Keep the podcast going! Thanks!

Thank you for continuing to share these stories. It's a true inspiration to know the unbelievable odds these teams were against and an important history to preserve. Thankyou Sir.

    Great to see this pop up, will be good to listen to on my walk.
    If I may, I suspect one of your microphones might be backwards. There's a little bit of a phasey "drain pipe" effect on Tilt's voice, which you get if you have two copies of the same audio with a short time delay, such as two mics at different distances hearing the same thing. George's mic also sounds duller, which happens when you speak into the wrong side. What I think is happening is that both mics are pointed at Tilt. It's totally listenable as is, just trying to help.

    Thanks for showcasing these stories. My father was a MAC V SOG Det CDR (70/71? time frame). In rare moments when I was growing up, I would get a snippet or two of stories like the ones you've captured. I wish the Pod-Cast was around earlier, before he passed away. Perhaps in this venue he would have shared more, and the stories would not be lost forever. Thanks for what you are doing.

    Hell yes we definitely needed a SOG Cast. I'd always read about these men for years, they faced suicidal odds doing a job that many others wouldn't and couldn't do. So good that now they can fully talk about what they were able to accomplish.
