Pretty wild to think about. The first part of the year I was a nobody studying for/applying to medical school. Now, I'm the lowest tier of KZfaq notoriety, the timestamp guy. Thanks for the good times in 2020. Here's to (hopefully) better times in 2021. Have a great week folks and Happy New Year!

I'm a fairly reserved Brit but it is hard not to find an intelligent, courageous, articulate and compassionate woman like Nikki very beguiling. Wish the world had many more Nikki's.

Super impressed with Nikki and her story...again Andy you step up to the plate and hit it out of the park with your guest choice.

She’s a different breed. Ton of respect and a great podcast Andy

There’s times in life when you realise how much people have given, Andy. She’s one of them. Respect to you both

One of my favorites so far. Great job by Andy and Nikki.

As a long time listener, and one of the minority women, it was great to hear her story again I first heard her on Mike Drop. Keep up the amazing content! Much support!!

This interview with Retired Lieutenant Commander Selby was super interesting! What an incredible career she has had! I can't wait to see what she does next! Thank you for the video!

The care I received during my MEDEVAC made me go into EMS when I retired. The amount of care and respect I received as a patient on a bird (rotary/fixed wing) was phenomenal and I love everyone of them

Just watched this. Great interview (as usual:) and very intelligent, brave and well spoken person to interview. Gutsy as hell, too!! Thank you!

I wish i had a dollar for every time Andy pulls the "if our lives depended on me using a radar scope were both dead" i would be set for life

Awesome show! It was really cool hearing about the medical side of the military as well as the retrospective on covid from the initial surge.

Lt. Commander Selby- thank you for sharing your story/impressive military career.

I hope Ms. Selby writes a book. She has lived a very interesting life full of challenges and more people should hear her story. Very inspiring.

Thank you for bringing her on as a guest; a truly impressive woman who has lived an incredible life. As always, fantastic content and excellent discussion.

I like the way you guys have me remembering back to my Navy days. I thought electronics was boring back then and you remind me of that now.

I'm not sure how it is that I missed this, but I'm happy to stumble upon it. Nikki seems like a cool person. Thanks for this Andy!

Thank you for your service

Yet, another great interview! What a remarkable career Nikki. Thank you!

Enjoyed her with Mike Ritland a few months ago. Thanks Andy and have a great 2021 ! Danny Hayes

The podcast makes Monday better! Thank you!

Great Podcast. A different perspective... It was engaging...thank u again...

Saw her on Mike Drop. But you’re god damn right ima watch this woman again

Great podcast! Especially towards the end. I think we can use a step back and a deep breath. ✌

Awesome! What a terrific story.

I am physically disabled and a veteran (not service connected) and I have a disease that slowly degrades your muscles. I know what's ahead for me and it aint pretty, but I choose to remain positive rather than negative. Sure I have my frustrating days when I just want to scream but it's more enjoyable to look for the fun in life. Family has a HUGE impact on your mental well being and in that regard I am truly blessed.

Who listens to the 2.5 hours of this podcast and then gives it a thumbs down?? No way they listened to the entire pod right? For the record @ Cleared Hot Podcast, it ROCKED per usually. Who would not enjoy listening to Nikki Selby, commies that is who :)

Awesome work.

great session, she is a great guest...

Her laugh is infectious. In a good way.

this was a great pod cast please have her back on

Great Podcast !!! Happy New Years !! Stay Strong and Be Safe !!!

Another great show . Playing catch up on your podcasts.. Andy first guy that gets GI bill to pay for knife building with a tennis instructor side line. Awesome Lady much Respect

I did 4 months in the Balboa Oncology Ward in 1996 getting 38 shots of radiation for Hodgkins Lymphoma when I was a 20 year old Airmen. They took excellent care of me and made it possible for me to finish my 20 in the Air Force. Thanks to Nikki and every medical professional for what you do.

Awesome guest 👍👍

Its the second podcast i see with her and she his awsome i lover her story

Great podcast like most other Cleared Hot episodes. How is the Cleared Hot podcast not drawing a lot more subscribers, views, likes, etc.? Well done.

I deployed with her with 1st Med Bn. I was stationed at the STP at FOB Jackson in Sangin. We definitely saw a lot off casualties.

Happy upcoming New Year!

Had a similar situation with CC and Detailer coming off submarines wanting to go recruiting. I wanted recruiting and was told no and was headed to Groton to work on subs my whole shore duty. Long and short, I went recruiting 😉

There is a benefit if you join the Guard your time starts the day you enlist! Go that route if you want to knock out time before training.

this is awesome, been waiting for a medic one. You should try get a PJ sometime/Navy/Coastguard Rescue Swimmers

So after listening to this convo - awesome as usual, Andy! - I went and typed "Nikki Selby" into Google and in the Google's recommended search results, the third one from the top was "Nikki Selby husband"... hmmm, I'm sure there is the queue, people, relax!

Sheesh Andy i had the same Nerve Conduction study done on both elbows and my neck. They use either ceramic or porcelain needles with wires attached to them and poke and poke and poke away while listening to the awful sound the machine makes. That its the most painful and annoying test I've done to this day. Id rather get a root canal any day of the week over another one of those.

My dads been fighting the VA for a few years (been out of the army for 25) about the burn pits & uranium exposure from tank explosions

Black horse forge in VA does classes for VETS and LEO'S for blacksmithing. I know that's a hike for you coming from Montana but looks like an awesome place, I know there's other places that are accredited and accept the Chapter 33 GI Bill just haven't looked that much onto it. Learned that on Forged in fire actually lol Ben Abbot talked about it when they did the Judges challenge series

Love the podcast brother

Was not a fan of ospreys. Fast roping out of them was something else too lol. Fast roping out of 46s or 53s you’re going straight down. Going out of ospreys, the rope flies out almost above a 45 degree angle out the back. First man out doesn’t even have his feet on the rope.

I cannot believe anyone would hit the dislike button on this podcast. Trolls

DAmn she was in the shit trying to save young men blown apart during the battle of sangin. Logan stark of brcc made a documentary about that, called, For the 25. We could all learn something from her and the shit she had to overcome. Solid human being, when pushed to the limit your true colors come out and she was the most expensive paint you can imagine.

Andy should have C.W. Lemoine on. Would be some great conversation!

Osprey 4x the rotorwash, no autorotation, and reliant on active controls due to shared gearbox.

Man you have GOT to get her back on for an after action re covid. Fascinating.

Excellent interview! Thank you for having the guts to speak openly about the low life liberal governors and mayors who destroyed countless businesses and lives as a result of their horrible lockdowns, while they are getting pay raises, and keep enjoying their lives as if nothing is happening! Also, loved your stories about deployments in some rat hole places. Would be great if more Americans had a chance to do the same to to appreciate all the great things America is offering!!

"An E-3 tracked me down on Global" "Bold move, Cotton!!"

In today's episode of cleared hot we watch Mr Andy Stumpf give himself the worst case of blue balls he's ever had. His reaction when he learned she skydives...hilarious. Awesome pod. Love this episode. What an awesome amazing person. Great story. Going to follow her now.

The Raider 7. Helicopter crash that killed a whole team from MARSOC. Actually happened two years in a row with that same team if I’m not mistaken.

There are some helicopter flight schools relatively close to you. Missoula and Belgrade aren't super far away.

She’s a legit badass and a hero. And like Andy extremely humble. As a female hunter I enjoy hearing other women getting into hunting, I’d invite her hunting on our property but it’s in Florida and no sane person wants to come here. But we fill our freezer every year and yes we absolutely save so much money at the grocery store like Andy said, it’s nice to cruise right by the meat section.

IV dose of epinephrine for anafylaxis is 0.05mg so it was 50x dose.

I appreciate you having another female on here! I am always trying to find podcasts that have go getter females, especially females that are/were in the military, and it is kind of hard so this was much appreciated😄

"I´m gonna die" - Host: laughs!!! You sir, are like me. A high functionell idiot :) My kind of people!

Andy please try to get Taya Kyle on the podcast. She would be a great guest.

@ClearedHot, great job! Cool podcast and awesome to hear about that side of things from your guest! I didn’t realize you have drop foot. I have that as well and have had many a nerve conduction test. Do you wear a brace or anything for it? Has definitely changed the way I do things and I look quite hilarious running.

Imagine almost being killed by a fan, saved by a surgeon, then almost killed by an emt all in an hour.

As much as I enjoy hearing frogmen wax rhapsodic about multiple deployments, this is a nice change of pace. Good call.

What an amazing woman!

There were only 6!?!? I swear I got a series every time MEDPROS turned yellow

If you're interested in learning more about bladesmithing, I highly recommend checking out the American Bladesmithing Society school in Arkansas. No idea if GI Bill will cover it but if you want to go from novice to proficient in the shortest amount of time, that's where I'd go.

Andy you forgot your Field promotions to O4 you guys are equal

2 things Andy..............1 post the video of the charging 3 yard elk 2. SHIRTLESS PIC

"Here's a prescription for f write-off!" ROFL

I'm interested in a Damascus Stumpf knife.

At the end of this podcast Koolaid and Nikki absconded into the wilds, leaving a terrified, Andy sized mess behind.

❤I love your smile and your expression so much and I really love you with a very beautiful voice 🤙🤙🤙

you can use your GI for some trade programs

What an awesome kickass lady!!!

You need to have Green Beret Justin Lascek next please 🤘 🇺🇸

Marines don’t just fix bayonets, they use them! Unfortunately most of the time on the amphib ventilation system.

Holy shit!! I'm 10 minutes into the actual interview & this "interview" has went 17 different directions & not one storyline has been finished entirely! I'm not sure if I should continue or just stop watching now..... Nikki has an amazing story & does very few interviews, yet I'm afraid I end this with a ton of unanswered questions / stories because not one single story is completed! 🤔 🤷‍♂️

ANDY, that would have been great to get her on and Tiffany from Drinkin Broettes on... I believe they have some similar backgrounds and different in other areas.... just a thought...

Seems like a match made in heaven, huh Andy?

I heard something that made me realize Cammy from Street Fighter is just the slang for camouflage uniform 🤦🏻‍♂️

Shit I was able to check my rifle out from the armory at Pendleton and go wack coyotes

Good morning! Can we get an interview with the hog driver and tacp from the intro 🙏

*Here in China - the origin of this whole mess - the COVID-19 scare has ironically ended.* Social distancing ended ages ago, kids returned to school & people returned to work months back, and masks are only worn in big public areas (e.g. airports & train stations), if the store requires (Apple, yes; Starbucks, no), or if the person wants to (roughly 1/4 of elderly & people on the street do, the rest don't).

Glad you mentioned anthrax vaccine, & didn't take it. The book "Vaccine A" by Gary Matsumoto, opened my eyes.

I love the attraction between you two! The chemistry is amazing, Andy???? Omg.

I’m gonna be 30 next year and have a bachelors degree... is it a no brainer to go the officer route or join enlisted? I always figured I would join enlisted and work my way up but since they mentioned it now I’m thinking I should go officer 100%

So, she’s a badass

ANDY, do you premier these and participate in the live chat?

Omg Nikki is friggin HAWTTT ..

A better Rogan, thank god!

Lol....SAR school on a whim without prep. Not something one usually hears about (successfully anyways)

I don't get it. Needing to set up field hospitals is kinda-sorta the sky falling down.

@Nikki as long as you're in an accredited school with a degree program, so college, Chapter 33 GI Bill will pay 100% of your flight school rotary or fixed wing

Good morning Humans!

Donny O’Malley!!!!

A good idea to have an every day carry. Better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it

There is an undeniable chemistry between these two. I see a future of them together. To Nikki, you are not a nobody. You are a fantastic woman who had an awesome career of accomplishments during your time in the Navy. Thank you for your service.
