This dude seems like a genuinely decent human.. Incredible military career, and he's gone on to advocate for plant medicines to be used to treat veterans' TBI, PTSD, etc, instead of the usual nasty pharmaceutical cocktails. Another great episode.. Thanks yet again, guys.
I'm glad he pointed out the dangers in David Goggins' message. His whole thing is "just push, push, push... and when your bones start fracturing and you're in agony, tape them up and keep going!" That works for the extraordinarily genetically gifted. For most of us, not knowing when to stop results in major injury, chronic pain and even disability.
My biggest regret in life is not joining the Army at 18. I joined the Army reserves at 27 and did very well both physically maxing out my scores in basic and AIT and leading in my AIT time for 8 out of 12 weeks. I did as I was told and did it at a high level, the military got more out of me than I knew I even had. They helped me not only find my limits but push way past what I thought was the limits. When I was younger I would have gotten out of the place I live and really get to do great things, serve my country, meet people from all over the nation and see the world.
@@srsmedic8285Exactly! Anyone who serves at ANY level in a country where very few do deserve our outmost respect and gratitude! I truly wish that service was mandatory coming out of High School at some level. Maybe our country would not be so polarized or at least not as much if everyone who was legitimately able were to play a part in serving and protecting our country. That's my opinion at least
@Prepper319 depose muderous dictators and give them an opportunity to govern themselves? Fight reglious zelots that want the WORLD to follow their beliefs! The same ones that force women into servitude and murder homosexuals by throwing them off buildings? Those innocent ones? Leave your moms basement and go see the world.
Very interesting the kind of stuff RRC was doing in this time frame.. Taking host nation indigenous people and training them in surveillance and SIGINT related kit and sending them deep into the under worlds where they can illuminate the patterns of behavior and movement of the bad guys. It’s the Mohawk program that later metamorphed into Omega.
This was an awesome video/interview. I was Army LRSD from 2000-2003. I was the RTO on the team. We even got some training from the 4th Ranger Training Battalion. It would have been nice if we could have gotten some minimal training from our big brothers in the RRD. Too bad they disbanded the LRSU. RLTW! AATW!
@21:56 you can hear the DEVGRU SEAL Commander's perspective from being on this same exact OP and fast roping from the same bird or similar on to the same spot. Very, very cool to hear two different perspectives, ARMY RANGER vs NAVY SEAL DEVGRU from the same op, same location/time. He even mentions the guy with a broken arm and the length of the fast ropes. His story here: ruclips.net/video/J_h3DP61fdw/видео.html
I am Army Civil Affairs and Airborne. Brooks tennis shoes changed my life…. My knees and ankles etc helped me sooooo much. And more stationary bike and stepper and only running treadmill and outdoors two months before an event and do less impact on the other days
That was a really good interview I had a buddy in my first Unit that was Mennonite and we use to joke and aggravate him about wearing wooden shoes, really good dude with good stories.
Meditation has def helped a lot coming out the military I highly recommend it. It just quiets the mind and recommend at least every grunt to do it and get into a habit of it for sure.
3 Combat HALO Jumps 😮! I wonder if he still has the first 2 flags, still? In my day their was a waiting list for HALO/HAHO and it started at Bragg and eneded in Yuma. Watched 2 SF guys get turned away seconds, literally, after Cadre shut the doors. It didn't matter to JFKSWC what MOS you had or what Unit. Now I understand it is a part of the pipeline and completely in Az. Another thing is/was LRSLQC Long Range Surveillance Leadership Qualification Course or some such shit (forgive my memory). With designator Q6. And my class 0*-9* started with 15 and we ran until it was 14 then they officially started the class. Which was maybe kinda like the 90s version of The Army's MACV RECONDO my uncle used to tell me about. So that was my mindset going through it, and we learned some similar things about Radios, maps, LandNav, GPS, Cameras, guns, and Aircraft. Sorry for the rant, great video, good man and Operator. Love the show 'gentlemen', good on you. RLTW
Haha.... so wasn't just me... that was my Cadre of bad asses as well... Green booted me down a hill. Graduated in AUG of 04.... 2/75.... We may have been in the same class... I Went to A co.
That’s a very good quality to have operating in the Middle East. Especially doing low-vis operations. I’m sure this guy was a huge asset to his team during his time at RRC.
@@F3PIZZA I’m well aware of this fact, it would just be helpful if they put time stamps like most podcast series do on each episode, each stamp outlining a certain subject/story discussed during the episode.
You can tell he is just talking to two of his battles and not to a podcast audience because he is all over the place. I can imagine someone who’s not a vet listening to this not having a clue what’s going on most of the time.
Nash, Straight, and Green were all in Cco with me. I cant imagine those guys being RIP Cadre LOL they are some funny mother fuckers. Nash just retired, Straight is shooting hogs in Northern GA. Not sure where Green is now days, I know he went SF. Nash and Straight were SL in my Platoon was a little tighter with them than Green. Great dudes though.

Tells you how sad Army advertisement is. Perspective recruitment think of marines or Seals. Seals highly overrated and Army has way too many top units and no one knows. I drive and see ARMY CAREER CENTERS! Lol. When I joined at 17. I wanted to do cool stuff from the movies not I want a trade bs. Army should flex THE Army. We have the best and truly 1st to fight because we do not need landing strip or ships that take days and the whole world knows your coming. Army needs to market iselffbetter

They're all very similar organizations with different influences that inspired their creation. There are certain capabilities that overlap. As well as differences, the ISA, for example, obviously has a heavy focus on SIGINT.
ISA and RRC are conducting intelligence and reconnaissance operations for the entirety of JSOC.. Its a broader strategic level focus. CAGs G Squadron and DevGrus Black Squadron are more about supporting their own Units.. Like if CAG is planning a hostage rescue somewhere in the world, they might want to use their own in house reconnaissance squadron to prep the battle space because they understand better then anyone what kind of information they need to collect for the rescue element. ISA operative Erick Miyeres tells a story on the Team House podcast that provides a great example on what I’m talking about.. While Delta, SEALs, SAS and rangers were going after the AQ in Iraq and the conventional military was fighting other Sunni and Shia groups, Erick got tapped to find and a locate a bad actor with links to Iranian Quds Force. The individual had remarkable trade craft and state sponsored training that made him a ghost, and Erick was able locate him, bug his house and get out without the dude ever knowing he was there. It’s one of those rare accounts of espionage happening right in the middle of a war zone. Units like the ISA are going after wolves 🐺 dressed In sheep 🐑 clothing.

How does RRC differ from JSOCS other tier 1 units like the ISA or Cags G squadron ?
They're all very similar organizations with different influences that inspired their creation. There are certain capabilities that overlap. As well as differences, the ISA, for example, obviously has a heavy focus on SIGINT.
ISA and RRC are conducting intelligence and reconnaissance operations for the entirety of JSOC.. Its a broader strategic level focus.
