SEAL Team Seven Canine Handler Chris Cappa Part One
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 июл 2024
- Every warrior has a different reason for going over the wire. For Chris Cappa, it was almost destiny; a chance encounter at a local gym turned into a series of relationships that were suddenly severed in a 2011 Afghanistan Boeing Chinook shootdown - otherwise known as Extortion 17. Soon after, Chris found himself headed to bootcamp, and before long, deploying at the Tip of the Spear with SEAL Team Seven in West Africa and Afghanistan.
It wouldn't be long before Chris would find his real passion - canine handling with Mickey, the scrappy dog he feared may have been a non-starter right out of the gate. Turns out, great things really do come from small beginnings.

Absolute banger of a podcast. Chris is the real deal. Can't wait for #2.
Noone is disputing that! Incredible testimony.
We all know Dan Bilzerian is the real BUDs champion
@@mikeiceeidk why everyone gives that guy so much crap. He washed out twice but he did complete BUDS which makes him pretty tough in my book. Def playing big shot on daddy’s money but anyone who got through BUDS twice deserves some level of respect
The ending left me FIRED UP. god bless our troops. Four legged as well
What a cool guy.
Great guest and interview.
As a former handler myself I can relate to mike happiness about interviewing other handlers.
if i got one regret in life its not being a doggie, not sure in US military but in my country you either needed to be sf or engineer to get the job, wish I tried to do it while I was in
I love it, another dog handler!! Seems like a solid dude too! Thank you for your service, both of you! ❤❤
Love your videos Mike! Truly one of a kind! Keep it up
Another great one . Strong Work Brochochos.
Man what a pleasure to see my brother Chris Cappa on this podcast! I’m proud of you man!
Haha this is really weird seeing this. I was in Chris’ BUDS class originally before I got medically rolled. He was a good guy. He was always optimistic and had a smile on his face. It’s a daggum shame the Navy pushes the good ones out.
Damn good episode, love the Mike drop. Keep up the great work brother
Great listen- thanks gentleman
I've sat thru a gang of Mike's guests' interviews. Chris interview has made mybtop 5, and I haven't even watched part 2 yet. I'm going to watch it now.
Chris Osman, Shawn Ryan, Mike Glover, Kevin Owens, Clark Impastato
Been waiting for more handler interviews, can’t wait for this one
Outstanding video
Awesome listen!
People, please hit the like button and pay attention when Mike said in the thumbnail. Well, not without attitude. You won't that saying is priceless and very, very useful, and very smart people don't say that enough. Anymore, it needs to happen when people have a negative attitude. We need to remind each other if you think negative negatives gonna happen if you think positive positives gonna happen. So thanks again mike
I firmly believe that based on the millennia of evidence of dogs willingness to sacrifice themselves for their chosen humans/packs safety and survival Im absolutely certainly if you could do the impossible and have the doctor Dolittle ability to talk to animals and you asked any working dog military or LEO who do we send in a certain death situation you or your handler they would answer without hesitation send me. Sry this is what happens when I drink tequila and get emotionally invested in a subject that I'm pretty sure no one that watches this podcast would disagree with. But I know what it is I'm just missing Arron my German shepherd and one of if not the smartest dog I've ever met let alone owned fuck he's been gone 31yrs and I still miss that badass meet like he died yesterday. Sry the k9 episodes always hit me hard
This dude seems super squared away. Seems like a cool dude you can hang with, really sharp, and just a well rounded dude to have on your team.
I agree with you Mike about telling guys the truth about what they are doing, like you said when I was younger I didn’t question anything but as I got older and higher up the chain it really started to cause me issues because I was questioning and pissed that dudes in charge of me wasn’t questioning like you said, I even told my commander once when he asked why are you giving us such a hard time? I said that’s the problem you should be doing this to your boss to fight for us. Which is why last year I declined promotion and retired I couldn’t co-sign on bs anymore.
to many of the higher ups only care about their careers and using said positions on their resumes when they eventually get out or smoking pipe to get where they want, most higher ups are pseudo politicians, its why most western militaries are having so much issue with recruiting an retention, im not from US but I seen the same shit in my countries military and why myself and most others got out
As I sit here waiting for my dog (boxer) to drop the ball, they brought up the ball situation 😂😂
We all need a follow up on Mickey’s ball release development 😄
Please keep us posted on how training with Mickey goes, just curious. The dog stories always get me 😢 RIP Charlie
Great podcast brother god bless
" rather put four legs in a box vs two" shivers
I’ve been getting to these Drops of the Mike kinda early. Glad I didn’t die when I choked myself 😂
Try harder next time. Nobody likes a quitter
I can relate to the cereal deal Cap’n Crunch beats the shit out of my mouth. I don’t even know why am sending this message to, but fna man
Dudes really cool
Another awesome podcast. It would be great to follow up with Mike getting with this dog and finding out results.
RESEES PUFFS! LETSS GOOO
This man could disarm a room with his smile
Come on part 2....!
Honestly, I feel perception of an individual dictates destiny. Good parents, bad parents....maybe not so much. Character is maybe the filter that clears the debris.
Drop part 2 already
Ultimate Frisbee in stomach deep at least water at the beach is so fun,try it
The talk about living in Norfolk/Va Beach and training in martial arts hit close to home, one never knew who they were sparring or rolling with in this town. I must have run into this dude somewhere at some point. Really interesting podcast.
💯 Frank Cucci comes to mind in particular. He was with DEVGRU and ended up being heavily involved in bringing BJJ to the beach.
@@oliversacks3837 Think he founded the academy Mr. Cappa was talking about in this podcast.
@@overhead18Wow! I just got to that part!
Hopefully you watched the Dog from the IDF who got the enter command and was met with a Garanade. the handler and his #2 in the train eliminated the threat . And now the time was to SAVE the dog a rewarding FB
I really shouldn't post when I've been drinking 😂 I tend to go on a meandering tangent.
Id let him train my kid 😂😂 Smart, hard working and a SEAL..
To twelve o’clock and it’s time to eat
One of the best pods I’ve listened to in a while. I loved it and supper excited to see the next 1 or 5 parts to hear the whole story… I’ll be here when it’s up 💪🏻🫡
👍👍👍👍👍
Where’s part 2!
I'm watching an older episode right now and I just wanted to say I'm sorry I almost cried some my dream is the military I can't get that dream right now watching this stuff helps and you pause the podcast and go to talk about ads and how people are complaining but how necessary it is and I'm hearing this right after thinking great let's skip another stupid ass ad I will watch your Ads and i will buy something I need and want thank you for everything I mean it
Good man no vacancies its a joke f them but I notice you said defending your country more like doing the government's bidding
Never heard of them using a wolf dog. Too bad it didn’t work
I was abandoned by my father at 3 years old. I don't even know who he is, don't remember him, and even though I know my kids and was in their life for the early years. I'm not anymore so I basically abandoned them. The way my father did me not by choice. But I did the drugs so I guess I did it by Joyce. My thing is breaking the cycle is sometimes done on purpose but I think I didn't have any control over breaking that cycle meaning because of the childhood trauma. I went through in other ways way more severe than abandonment. Maybe that has something to do with not being able to break the cycle. I wasn't mentally strong enough or educated enough. And I think that's what it comes down to
👍🏻🇱🇷💯
Man I can't imagine going through all that BUD/S training elite of the elite stuff and you get out ready to kick some bad guy ass and they post you to Cameroon guarding Chinese oil infrastructure.
@sil_the_great694 could be worse, could be assigned to SDV platoon for 5 years
You would think that. But my sister in law who is a horrible mother and going to force me to call defac because it’s only a matter of time anyways before they’re called anyways by his school. But we’ve tried talking to her and she doesn’t get it. And thinks she’s what’s best
Love this podcast, and I know it's mikes job to get info. I just wish guys did not go into that much detail. What he is saying is not common knowledge. Seals will tell everything, surely he will have his own book out
We don't say anything confidential. Leave us be.
@@Last_Chance. Never said you did. Most books lie about what they did anyway
@@robbyrobinson4500Lone Survivor is perfect example
Make a video about the dog ball issue. But yeah if wife gets the ball lol. Seems like human issue
For my Maliniois female who would not give up a ball for anything,what worked?
Having a well-known TO HER second dog (male) who would get to chase thrownballs.
She now gladly gives up the ball on return.
Not giving ball up?... i'd sayy No Big Deal.
We started to give our a dog a wet willy when he wouldn't let go. It was hilarious. He learned to give it if he wanted it thrown. He might be dutchie but he's not exactly a working dog.😅
What does it mean to defend your country and your Constitution from all enemies foreign and “ domestic “ ? Who would be a domestic threat to the Constitution and what would they be doing as a threat ? I would call someone who threatens a person’s Rights and Freedoms a enemy of the Constitution .
Really sad how they are trying to force team guys and other spec ops to take that crap is total crap.
"My Daddy outta Trinidad," ...... YOU MEAN my daddy Black..... #Frostbit
Love the podcast but this dude is wack
Why do you say that?
havnt watched it yet, what makes you say that?
I'm mixed race and instantly i could tell this dude was a fucking weirdo
Who?
