    Just finished this podcast and it was awesome. I'd vote for this guy in a heartbeat, we need more people like him to be in congress. Typically I despise anything political because its all so divisive, however I was pleasantly surprised to hear Tony's open mindedness and common sense approach to all of the topics discussed. I would have not even known that this guy existed if it were not for this podcast, so thank you andy and please keep doing exactly what you are doing.

I thought he got in some trouble while a seal, no? Not that it matters. I remember him as just a young kid wanting to get after it and smash weights. I last ran into him 21 years ago and he looked jacked af. A really great dude.

      Because of the intense operational tempo, not to mention the specificity and necessary intense pre deployment work-ups, SOF units deploy for 3-6 months, with much less turnaround time in between. When I was in Batt, if I managed 10 days leave per year, it was a lot.- RLTW
