Part of my 9 11 story. My dad was doing free EMT. He was blown in the air and landed a few blocks away. A restaurant owner pulled my dad in and washed the soot off my dad. When my dad came to pick me up, our car was thick with the wtc dust. My dad had his yearly EMT training from his job. My dad said the white ash was everywhere. When my dad took out hiss wallet, the wtc ash was in his wallet very deep.

Just because it’s not how you chose life doesn’t make another man’s a lie. I had retired from the Air Force before I decided to run wild and get locked up. I’ve always had a decently good life. But also deviant. So it’s not a far leap that I was older and had my shit together. Yet an opportunity came my way and j jumped. I took a small backset. But I’m still doing well. I can’t complain.

I got a friend who jumped off a bridge, He was in AA w me , never could get sober, so he ends it all by jumping off this bridge on a Sunday nite about 11 pm. They were doing construction under the bridge unknown to him. He lands on these planks, knocks himself out, never hit the water. Monday morning the workers find him still passed out drunk, cops arrest him. He always complained he could never do anything right, including killing himself, lol. He finally got sober one if the best dudes out there..

I don’t understand all the hate. This guy was my favorite guest you have had yet. The military stuff is completely reasonable. He was in the national guard. Not 100% of National guard units were deployed at the same time. Just like in Iraqi freedom. Different reserve units across America were deployed at different times, sometimes years apart. Many times reserve units are deployed to American Military bases while the active duty counter parts deploy. Only question I have is he mentioned wearing the Green Beret in a picture got him in trouble later but never elaborated. Maybe it will be in his book? I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Thanks for the content. 👍

I’m so confused on why this is said? There are still green berets! There are some here on KZfaq even that own businesses and train LEO’s and civilians. Mike Glover is one and he owns a company called Field Craft Survival. He is a former Green Beret that just retired recently in 2016 and was a contractor after that. Instructor Zee was also a green beret. You can look these guys up they are very popular guys that will tell you they are green berets. That’s just 2 off the top of my head there are more. So I don’t understand where this is coming from saying there aren’t any green berets these days.
