In this episode I talk about running the Force Modernization office for 1st Special Forces Command (A)
This job was both rewarding and extremely frustrating and led to my medical retirement after 24 years of service.
In this episode I cover my Team SGT time in 3rd Special Forces Group and my 1SG time running the Warrior Leader Course for junior Special Operations NCOs. This 1SG job allowed me to coach, train, mentor and influence young leaders early on in their career.

Chuck and I go way back, we were students in the SF pipeline together, we were small unit instructors together and we've been friends for a long time.
Chuck has repeatedly raised his hand to go back to war despite being shot an blown up multiple times.
This is what a warrior sounds like.

In the aftermath of the Great Famine, Ireland was exhausted. The population had fallen dramatically through death from hunger and disease, and from mass emigration. Over a million people had fled to seek a new life in North America, and possibly the same number settled in Great Britain. They took with them a seething hatred of England, blaming the government for the calamity that had fallen upon their motherland. The men who had taken part in the Young Ireland rebellion of 1848 began to recruit and plan armed insurrection.
