Bob is just a stand up dude. Doesn't even have to be military related, I could just listen to that dude talk all day. If he can remember anything 😂😂😂
You say this like you know the man.
And, sadly, the memory issues that lots of operators face, are very telling about other really significant issues that many of them face. 👍🏽🙏🏽👊🏽
@@johnqpublic2718 keep your mouth shut
@@johnqpublic2718Jesus why are you negative 😂 Just end it bro.
@@johnqpublic2718I trained with Bob and it’s true.
Bob makes SF and Delta selection seem like he's the first asian kid taking math at Harvard. "This best school in world!? I do this for fun in middle of jungle at night at 5 year old."
The pendulum of wartime-peacetime has always happened. My career spanned 1984-2006. I saw the entire spectrum. From a peacetime Army, to the beginnings of an army at war for years. It’s the nature of the beast. You guys hit the sweet spot of an army at war with combat experience from top to bottom.
Your patience paid off. I was in 86-93 and got fed up with being in Garrison all the time. Thanks 🙏.
I went to work for a Unit guy when I got out of the military. He was the best man I've ever known. He was one of the original members in the early 80s. We had a blast traveling.
What's his name
Was he short did ya live in Fayetteville

Bob is my spirit animal 😂
Time stamp?
Awesome! Hell yeah Bob is the man! Have him back for more please!
Word is that 20th Group totally kicked ass on their deployments during the GWOT. I've read stories of heavy respect for those dudes on their deployments in Iraq or Afghanistan.
I wasn't sf, but at a combat comm national guard unit. We scored higher on our ORE/ORIs than 99% of our active duty counterparts. We used to brag saying that we could do their jobs better, only doing it 2 days a month and 2 weeks a year lol
These 2 dudes right here are TRUE AMERICAN BAD ASSES. Fu$k the nfl and all their BS. Our young generation needs to know these types of MEN. TY guys for your service
Means a lot! Thanks for the comment… I truly appreciate it.
Totally agree bro. 💯
WWII guys were the greatest generation, now the GWOT guys are the most experienced generation…..
I’m a retired Navy Chief and Retired Police Lieutenant. Just my two cents. Retirements are for the family and especially the younger people you serve with, so they can aspire to do what you did. I’m late to this channel but I’m a huge fan. Just got coffee and cigars today. The bourbon infused coffee is pure money. Look forward to watching many more pod casts.
I aspire to have a life like yours! I’m 22 and going to MEPS for the navy soon. Can’t wait.
Hey Gents, I just have a small tip.. nothing about how the show is ran or structured but from a technical standpoint. When you have multiple people at the table, make sure that when one person is talking, someone else’s microphone isn’t picking up their voice. Due to the relatively slow speed of sound and latency in audio interfaces, it creates a delay when a person is talking so it sounds like for example“I I like like food food”. Anyways I appreciate the content and style!
A work around for this is recording each mic separately and cutting the audio separately. That way all 3 mics can be active at all times during recording.
@@Pauly_PlayzJust because you're recording each microphone separately, it'll still be picking up any sounds in it's range, regardless if all the mics on one track or individual tracks but synced and combined in post
Maybe check what your using to listen to this because I too have fairly extensive audio management experience and it's not as extreme as it's being labeled. But as a whole still solid. Keep it coming boys. It's appreciated
1:05:05 It never ceases to amaze me that everyone talks about being absolutely shocked at the utter speed of Unit guys doing CQB. It always comes up and I can only imagine what it's like, here you are qualified, feeling good, get in the stack and boom, they leave you in the dust. Everything from their speed to the normal shit like taking headshots at full sprint....fucking nuts to imagine what it must be like.
Pranka put out helmet cam training footage. They bail of the bird and are hitting 40 meter head shots while running to the house. Then they blitz the house faster than you would ever think is practical. To me, that's a big difference between them and VA Beach. Va Beach seems to be slow and methodical from what I've seen while Unit guys are straight up blitzkrieg
ruclips.net/video/D0xsVlF-Txk/видео.htmlsi=nufHMT7ChV-6biWG
@@MrCashewkitty it was a hostage rescue training... that's why they were running. They would be much more methodical if it were a hvt/hit.
@@picolascage5270 I understand that. I'd still argue that they run cqb much faster. Just listen to Pranka and other recently out dudes talk about it. Now they may teach SWAT a slower version because SWAT will just back out and gas the house and do call outs when fired upon. There's definitely a time and place for both, that I understand.
@@MrCashewkitty no doubt ther're the most capable and technically proficient unit in the world
I love how each of our branches of service all have different cultures and unique heritages. Sailors, Soldiers Marines and Airmen!!!! I love how humble these guys are having accomplished sooo much.
I wasn’t special ops but I joined in 2003 and I’m retiring now and what you said is true we hit the right time frame and same I’m seeing E6/E7 with no combat patches now, in 2010 you couldn’t throw a rock and not hit a combat patch, now they are getting more and more rare like when I first joined in 03’.
Bob, fucking Keller baby! I can’t wait for this one! Now I have to go to work. All fucking day and wait.
I love you guys and thank you for all you've done😮 what you did will not be forgotten🎉
Ever since I was a young man and watched the movie Black Hawk down I have idolized these Delta guys aka D-Boys. It's so cool to be able to watch them and listen to their stories. They were always these shadowy mysterious guys you heard about, but never actually saw them. The internet is so fucking cool! Thanks for this. 👍🏻🙏🏻🇺🇲💪🏻👏🏻
Love this channel! Right next to The Shawn Ryan Show 👍
Bob & Brent are the guys you wanna be with in a foreign country when you’re not technically supposed to be there 🤣
the Ada pushup story had me cracking up, cheering him on to get to 6
Very cool to hear the stories. Very inspiring
Good to see you Bob. NSDQ!
Bobs a hoot. Glad to see you guys reunited if just for a while. Nearly all Unit guys I see on these podcasts say they are the worst about keeping up with each other once they turn in card and walk out for last time.
Saw Bob and Brent interviewed on Combat Story. Really looking forward to this interview with the two of you together.
What studs, great episode!
Bob is straight awesome.
Awesome great podcast!
MSG Bob Keller = Harder than woodpecker lips
Bro
Why the fuck did I laugh so hard at this? 😂😂😂
Awesome Florida boys!
good stuff man i like listening yall have a good one
Bob Keller Hall Of Fame !
U guys are fffnnnn 👌 awesome!! Solid as usual
Ya'll need a two shot for this interview, and to fix Brent's camera framing.
I don't think I could ever have made it as infantry, much less special forces/spec ops. But I love the mindset about how y'all don't need to see friends regularly, but are prmed to take care of buddies when it's needed. I mentor folks coming up on their DD214 on the private sector; but,I think we need "reverse mentors" to help us normies deal with winning.
The prosthetic leg in the mud story 😂😂😂.
Tremendous!
I like these dudes a lot. Tyler and Brent are top notch and bring a great perspective. Their guests are always solid. Keep up the great work, antihero.
If you haven't taken a class that Bob teaches you are missing out.
fuck yeah! stoked for this episode!
Su LaRue! LEGEND!!
I once heard someone refer to Master Sergeant Keller as a "tactical chad." It was clear by the tone of his voice he meant it as an insult but it wasn't.
That says alot about a person who doesn't talk to his former teammates but yet jumps on podcasts to talk about how awesome they are.
Bret n Bob to bad you guys can’t tell us the gold stories but I also know most things you guys do we don’t need to know we need to remember your out there making or homes n neighborhoods safe thanks guys and thank you for your selfless service
I was in C BTRY, 265 ADA in Ft Pierce Fl for a few yrs!!
Ok lol
Excellent podcast👍 What's with the winter jacket? The other guys are in tee shirts.
Has anyone ever said Bob sounds like John Madden?!? Here from the Podcast! Awesome show boys! ⚫️🔵⚫️🇺🇸
Big Fan from The PI Devil Dog
Vermont is a very good small business state and it's a very patriotic state. I think you guys should open a business here in vermont
Doesn't Vermont vote 99% Democrat?
@@magnusred2945 unfortunately
@@magnusred2945 not 99% though, at least,I fuc king hope not.Its getting worse,liberal wise. Years ago I think it was Howard.Dean, as governor traded our cows for queers and admitted a civil Union state.And ever since then It's been a freak show
Vermont is too woke.
28:50 that’s hilarious because living in the city I live in, you know a tweaker or two just from being old friends or in your area or whatever and they really freak out and get paranoid like that but as much as it’s just them being paranoid, it truly is because they really are usually being watched.
Oh heck yeah.
Any Edinburgh Indiana Grow Ops?
I definitely know you were there.
I'm 2 miles from Camp Atterbury.
It's something I just know.
The technology is .......
Brent, greetings from 5216.
Speaking on the advancement of tactics and intelligence, did Mike Flynn change things as is said?
What’s the song for the wolf apparel commercial?
As a retired 140K, hearing yall were in ADA land makes me laugh so hard.
That is pretty hilarious. I never even heard of the ADA before. Here I was thinking it was some Front Unit for CAG
14:50 is where the PT story starts 😂
here from tiktok😂
I didn’t know my friends didn’t miss me. I think I’ll have a little cry.
Bob is missing his Glock spit cup lol 😂😂😂
These guys are dismissing it because they don’t know but playing golf on the Hooters tour is incredibly difficult to do and only a fraction of people alive could even dream of that.
As a commercial diver I’m curious about how dive school was
There’s a lot of military related aspects
The only army in the world with consistent combat experience over an extended period of time is the Israel Defense Forces. Pre October 7 their special operations and counter-terror units were always busy. In the past six months their entire military including reserves have become combat hardened. And boy have they learned quickly. 250 kia against an entrenched and largely underground terror guerrilla army with a 1.4 to 1 civilian to combatant casualty ratio is unprecedented. Much better than the US military in mosul for example.
Eat that propaganda up, they are counting on you doing that.
Damn, this comment reeks of the stench from a neocon boomer
10:14, Didn't Chris VanSant make it to the Unit without a combat patch yet or am i misremembering?
chris was a ranger but got kicked out
@@elielaraujo4979 yea, I am familiar, got kicked out b/c of a dewey, but iirc, he never saw combat with the Rangers (it was still peace time/pre 9 11 at this point).
After going back to Big Army, he deployed to somewhere in the ME, but again, it wasn't a combat deployment and he didn't do any fighting.
I could swear he said he made selection, passed the OTC, was deployed to Chili Palmers unit, and this was the first time he saw combat, in the very early stages of the War in Afghanistan
That was pre-GWOT so who was making it to any unit with a combat patch? Perspective, it's important!
@@muriloninja yes, I know and Chris was an excellent addition to the team and a beloved operator amongst his peers.
My point is simply that a guy w/out a combat patch going to the Unit isn't necessarily a big deal
Pretty much everyone prior to the GWOT went to the unit without a combat patch.
I love to listen to these guys and can do it all day . Plus I’m hurt so I’m stuck here on the coach it’s boring AF
Thanks for listening brother! Hope you get better soon!
I’m curious to know what are some of the types of questions that the guest cannot answer? I’ve heard this a few times on different podcast as far as not being able to speak on certain topics due to legality.
Lololol, dude said “guard bum”…. Yup, he wss in the the guard.
🔥🔥🔥
Bradenton for the win 😂
Did you have to go active duty to try out for selection?
No
We didn’t have to sign an active duty contract till after we were selected
Ha, I just saw that you directed the question to the man himself. I missed the you part. I also typed a response about multiple guys coming from guard units but I see now that it didn't post or I fat fingered it.
@@MrCashewkitty no worries, I appreciate the response either way.
Bob is an absolute fucking weapon 🤣
The guy doing the interview was asking and answering the questions. 40 minutes in I give up. He just keeps stepping on Bob
Let the man talk and quit cutting him off!
tyler has the personality of a guy who is 5 foot 8 lmao - calm down big guy
I wish I went in I regret it so much
This dude in the jacket sounds like Dan Lebatard.
I have a serious question I don't think gets brought up much. How do you guys see each other when you're all wearing camouflage?????
On this podcast, only their stories are true.
Bob talks like Timothy Olyphant.
Fuck yes!
There is some serious echo in the microphones on this episode.😵💫
Zero 9 is Ranger owned, not just street cop owned.
You guys are fucking Gods
Get chappy Jeff Strueker on ASAP please
You gotta move Brent's camera back...
1/75 RLTW
Carl didn't light you guys up because you were scuba dudes. Now if you were on the HALO team...
😂😂😂 I hope there is truth to that!
Mehn Brent Keeps interrupting Bob… allow him speak!
I’d say if there was one civilian job that relates closest to any sof, it would be firefighters. A team of 8-10 guys, most type A personalities living together 24 hrs a day, training, eating, sleeping, pushing each other, eating their own, and bustin balls constantly. Yet still willing to die for the guy next to them at the next job. It’s like real siblings- they fight, they argue, they taunt, they say mean things to each other, yet the minute an outsider tries that with one, look out because the other siblings will be on the attack.
I'm a retired team guy (baseball haha) and without question, the thing I miss the most is the ball busting and shit talking.
The show Rescue Me did a fantastic job recreating how the ball busting goes on teams like firefighters, which is the same for any team of men, whether it be sports or military.
Nobody asked this question.
Come on man. Firefighters are good at video games and women cooking. We call you to sweep up the trash on wrecks as well. Always the last to show up on anything important as well. Oh yeah, you do great with station tours and cats in a tree. Thanks for your service.
Hahahahahaha
Former union ironworker, I say former because I'm disabled from falling. The guy who watched me fall was SF. He pulled me up 2 stories with me having severe fractures, including spinal, and hes the only reason I can still walk. I respect all blue, red and green lines. But Davion was a real hero and his training took over his job, and he deserves the regard. No person has the training they do. They're real heroes and the statement "No man left behind." really showed. I used part of my settlement to help him pay off his house. I'll never regret it even though we haven't spoken face to face in years.
Hercules Hercules 👏
Great seeing a vet not all tatted, ball cap on backwards, sunglasses on inside 😅
Attitude is the same, so what's the difference?
@@patrickbateman312 professionalism, appearance. Blackwater isn't a branch of US. Military 🤣
@@bradploof9796 no, but vetbros were a part of the US military. At least half of the GWOT guys are vetbros and they've all got tattoos.
For the record, I wasn't aware that tattoos affected your professionalism, and I still remain unconvinced by any of the half dozen or so E9s that told me dressing like an absolute dork from the early 1960s would increase my professionalism.
God bless our warriors . Newport News is in VA , not Rhode islànd. The dEvils in the detais
With the drone warfare in Ukraine will it be starting over with tactics, 50%, 25%?
Except the cops I smoke cigars w I don’t really hang out with except my wife💙
The U.S. boycotted the Olympics in 1980... smh
this audio is brutal
How many fucking ads must I watch to listen to a damn podcast
This dude's memory is shot lol
The 1/20 guys don’t get no love just 2/20 & 3/20 😂
What?! I love the 1/20 guys! Some of the best guys I met in 20th were 1/20 guys when I was at SFAUC!
@@brenttucker6246 haha I know I’m just messin with ya Brent, just give the 1/20 boys some love every now and then bcuz they’re super proud of you! 👏🏼🙌🏼💪🏼
Thanks Tom! You know I will!
Good! Don’t ever forget your 1/20 bros from the chilly northeast!
My Unit Conducted "Counter Drug" Operation when I was in the Nebraska National Guard LRS(Long Range Surveillance).
The Nebraska State Patrol would pull guys from our Unit, to show up at like a Drug House in Plain Clothes to do Surveillance on a House. Technically we weren't Law Enforcement, we had zero authority to do anything. However we were perfect for doing Drug Operation Surveillance.
I didn't know other Units did those kind of Operations.
Essentially they would pay us our National Guard Pay to work for the Nebraska State Patrol. Since we already had training in Surveillance Operations. We were perfect for the Mission Set.
I had came to the Nebraska National Guard out of Army Active Duty as a 11B.
I was thinking going into the National Guard that "Oh this is going to be easy, I bet these Nasty Girls(National Guard) are a bunch if Fat Shtbags". Boy was I mistaken! This wasn't a Normal National Guard Unit, this was a LONG RANGE SURVEILLANCE Unit(LRS), I have never seen a Non Ranger Infantry Unit with soo many RANGER TABS.
The First Day of Drill, they drop us off in the middle of nowhere in the Nebraska Country and tell us "Run!", they didn't tell us the Distance, nothing. 2 Miles, 4 Miles, 6 Miles, I am still running qnd thinking WTF is this??? It turned out to be like a 8 Mile Run to a Pond. We then proceeded to conduct Zodiac Boat Training.
It was then I understand these guys weren't just a Normal Infantry Unit, these Guys were more like a Ranger Bat.
We actually sent 2 Man Teams to compete in BEST RANGER competition. Really High Speed Unit.
Mind you, I just came out of a US Army Infantry line Unit, Deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. I had a lot of Combat Experience. They did show me a lot of respect because I had a Combat Infantry Badge(CIB).
I’m glad this guys presence was making it fun for Brent to recap their experiences bc the douche who’s acting like he can’t remember anything isn’t doing much except drinking coffee and stroking himself under the table. Why’d you come on a podcast if you “can’t remember” literally anything except how easy everything was… seems like that’s only input dude has.
You guys should do a podcast on this fake military training that costs $18,000, ran by that bedros keuilian guy.
22 SAS ARE WAY BETTER THO PLUS I DONT THINK they teaches you every trick in the book
