My grandfather was a spooky gunner 68-69 and was stationed a Da Nang at this time. There is a fifty-fifty chance that he flew this mission that night as There was only one other flight crew at the time. Practically every night of his one year in country was spent flying these overwatch and fire support missions. I have the deepest respect and admiration for the veterans of Tet. Thank you all for your sacrifices.

SOG men stories simply leave me in awe of these guys. Absolute awe

I'm a simple man. I see SOGcast. I drop it all and listen in

These gents experiences and ops tempo are insane. These guys are a different breed. The fact that any came home is a testament to their fighting spirit and a pinch of luck. These guys are fascinating to say the least.

I listen to these podcasts while im at work and man it totally makes time fly by. Such amazing stories. Im so glad jocko stood these guys up.

Finally more SOG content ! Salute to Mr Meyer!

I really really think Stephen Spielberg and Tom hanks should make a mini series based on the sog chronicles Edit: I wrote John Stryker must on Instagram and told him he should pitch his war Stories to Hollywood. His exact words are “ they don’t care”. We care. And we would love to see a high budget mini series out there. His stories and his team mates stories deserve to be remembered

Jocko is a genius for helping Tilt get these awesome stories for future generations. Keep up the good work!

My dad was Gordon Highlander in Malaysia. I grew up watching this war on TV. Then reading about these battles in SOF magazine. Now I get to see and hear these guys. Amazing.

High speed low drag Podcaster "Tilt". Fantastic!! Listen all day every day. So important to get these interviews out to the public to hear these incredible stories before these warriors move on. They surprise me every episode. Wow. No movie would do it justice. Thank you, keep 'em coming. God bless.

Thanks Tilt and Jocko for the SOG podcast. Please consider doing an episode covering Frank Millers service with SOG.

Stories like this are invaluable. You can visit Marble Mountain now and there's a small set or steps to the peak that is described here. Where the SOG compound was is now a resort

I miss hanging out, working with and learning from Vietnam veterans. Almost all gone. Thanks for preserving this.

Incredible! I am honored to listen to your story! As a fellow combat veteran I am in awe of what you men endured in SOG during Vietnam.

Thank you for sharing this incredible story, this includes all of you. God Bless everyone serving in Vietnam for your courage, sacrifice and willingness to answer the call. We are very fortunate to have you in our corner. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🥃🥃🥃

I foam from the mouth for this content

Outstanding content!!! Please keep interviewing these heros before they are gone

Loving these podcasts as a Marine with a father who served as a combat engineer in 67, I love hearing these stories. Don't get much from the old man, never have and never pushed.

Thank you guys for your service, and welcome home. Y’all are true American heroes!!

Another amazing recount of Heroism. My favorite part of these stories has got to be the chemistry in RTs between the Americans and Little People. You can tell that the bond they created was as serious as blood. Thank you Tilt and thank you Larry for letting us be a fly on the wall for this conversation amongst warriors.

Yet another incredible Soldier that experienced overwhelming odds and lived to tell the story. I have a tremendous amount of gratitude and respect for all of these warriors!

There’s so much to learn from all of these SOG stories.

I love this series!! Most respect for Tilt and each one of his guests. Big thanks to Jocko for making this happen. These men are national treasures!

Thankyou Mr.Larry Triple and SOG Members .

Day 27 at work straight and anytime I think about being tired or sore.....I remind myself of what these guys want through and I get my ass in gear and grind and grind and grind. Thank you for your service, your stories, and the motivation bestowed upon me when I listen to these men talk.

"A sapper, also called pioneer or combat engineer, is a combatant or soldier who performs a variety of military engineering duties, such as breaching fortifications, demolitions, bridge-building, laying or clearing minefields, preparing field defenses, and road and airfield construction and repair." I had to look it up

I thought a "sapper" was a soldier-engineer who planted explosive and whatnot to undermine fortifications. Googling this, I found that "sappers" was a term used by US soldiers to describe specially trained North Vietnamese units who combined traditional sapper skills with marine-style assault skills.

Thank you Jocko for getting this side channel up and running.

Another man with balls of steel!! Thank you for your service Larry!! I really like that there’s video with these podcasts!! Great stuff John!! Please keep them coming!!

Such bravery . Much respect

SOGCAST IS AWESOME!!! Much respect thank you guys for your service!!

Damn Larry, MOH actions for days on end. Way to lead, leader!

Every time I think I'm having a bad day, I listen to SOS cast....not so bad!

Gotta love SOG stories, absolutely crazy

Thankyou Gentlemen. Incredible feats of bravery.

As a Navy Hospital Corpsman. I went to Sapper school in support of NCO Marine training. Cold and tough in the winter. Ft. LEONARD WOOD.M1992

Outstanding podcast

Thank You Tilt for what you are doing, those whose names are mention and written, live on.

God bless these men.

When we arrived back in Germany after almost a year in Ramadi (11-05 to 10-06) we attended a huge event with great food and free beer to celebrate being home. It was a wonderful night and it felt great to be back. That actually made it extremely difficult for me to spend much time with the parents of one of our KIA. Most of my friends were hanging out with them telling stories, doing shots, laughing and having a great time. I tried but had to excuse myself. I found it hard to feel ok while facing the parents of one of my dead friends. I am envious of my friends who were able to do it right. I honestly believe that night helped his parents in many ways. I am grateful for their strength and courage, and glad they were able to spend that time with the parents, and just as happy that the parents had the opportunity to spend that time hearing great stories about their son from some of his greatest friends.

Holy shit. I was just re-listening to the old ones on his regular channel back when he got with Tilt, and the the SoGcasts. And this one came today. Steller Shit.. some of The best of men right there..

Well run Interview Sir…. Thank You for your time educating your Listeners….. Rock On 🤘🏽

Fantastic discussion! I thank all of you for the sacrifices you made. I am humbled by hearing your stories filled with uncommon bravery and skills. Because of you, we live the life we choose. God Bless you and all veterans.

God bless Larry Trimble and all those who served in the Vietnam War. 58 thousand Americans lost their life and over a million injured. Plus when they came home a lot of our great veterans were mis treated. I feel that many of them our American heros never got the credit that they truly deserve. I humbly ask all Americans next time you see a veteran let them know how appreciative you are for their blood sweat and tears. Many died, many lost an arm, or a leg some lost their life. God bless you all Amen 🙏

Thank you gentlemen.

Finally another epi!

Thanks for introducing us to a great American!

I remember Martha Raye doing the Poli-dent commercials when I was growing up,and it`s amazing to hear how much she was involved with you guys over there.....My father was in the sub service during Vietnam.....Thanks so much for your respective service...

Good 'ol "Puff The Magic Dragon" was a marvelous life saver in Vietnam. Modern day equivalent being the Warthog. Incredible ground support systems! NEVER get rid of the Warthog damnit!

These stories are awesome!!! Keep them coming!

I grew up with guys like you because of my father and his friends ,you guys are awesome and they don't make men like you anymore. You guys smoke the new S.F all day and everyday.

jon Stryker Meyer can you get Mr. Jim Bolen please he wrote the book no Guts no glory please

Please keep these podcasts going. Your stories are timeless and are important for showing how important it is to have guts and the will to win even if support is far away.

Thanks for this one!

Wish i could see a podcast with legend Lynne M. Black... And his acconts of the oct/5th/68

From the many sog books ive read.. they always prase the car 15. The ability to lay down have automatic fire in a small package fast... And quick. The genus that was eugene stoner.

Love these SOGCAST. Thank you men for your sacrifice and selfless service to our country.

Nice cast fellas! Always informative and entertaining! Still looking for anyone who worked with Capt. John Dieckmann. Kia, may 19 1966

Another gem. Watched them all. Looking forward to more. When is Speilberg and Hanks going to make a SOG RECON movie?

Thank you gentlemen for reliving these missions for us. True American heroes!

Yes another episode! Where can I buy signed copies of Tilt’s books?

Very insightful. Good to hear alot of the details in this interview.

Enjoy your broadcast John Stryker Meyer , hope al is well , regards Scott Dowding .

Love these podcasts keep them coming sir

strangely I found this before I was notified about this podcast and i am subscribed to this channel...KZfaq you are very weird

My heroes! I LOVE these.

Larry is a great storyteller. Interesting episode.

After The Son Tay raid (and ever since) they said they "accidently" hit a school instead, coincidently it was the school where the chinese taught the NVA who did this. Y'think it might have been payback!

My god...fantastic...thank you

Yesssss!!! Another sog cast

The AC-47 "Spooky" Gunship in Vietnam had 3x Mini-Guns/ 7.62mm on the Left Side. The AC-47 Spooky Gunship was Code Named "Puff the Magic Dragon"...

Respect from Romania

Gents - thank you.

All your podcasts are great👍🏻

I first read abou this in Plaster and Tilt's books, ever since I always take a minute on August 23 to think about all the guys who were there that day. Well, maybe not all.

Larry, you did silence the Mortors, what you did was amazing, and to march down to that mortor pit and not only silence it, you took the damn thing, I would think your action was atleast a Distinguished service cross. you are a very Humble warrior.

In Rolla Missouri we have a veterans park with different plaques for different units and different services. I’d love to see the SOA send info so we could get a plaque and memorial set up. If it interests you reply here and we will get togather and I will get with the vfw and others about it and if it can be done love to see you guys come. Thank you for everything everyone in SOG went thru

Thank you.

So others may live. I love my Pilots and PJ’s.

Brilliant !

All you men are heroes but more than that y'all are true American BAD ASSES

HELL YEAH SOGCAST

Already 19 episodes available on Spotify. Audio only

My Father was at Vinh Long Airfield, and was there during The Tet Offensive of 1968. He described the attacks to me. He flew Gunships for the 114th Assault Helicopter Company (Chief Warrant Officer). That Picture by my name is one of their Unit Insignias. He flew with the Assault Squadron, The Cobra's. They are the unit the subsequent Cobra Attack Helicopter was named after. Ed: You can read the official unit history called, "Knights over the Delta".

What was in the ruck sack? Did they ever say? Impossible to admire these Warriors/Patriots too much. Thank-you is not enough, may we never forget!

I have the book "On The Ground: The Secret War in Vietnam"

The AC-47 "Spooky" Gunship was Depicted in the Famous Movie "The Green Berets"/ Vietnam with John Wayne.

Larry is one awesome man and soldier. Stay strong brother, hope to see you at the next SOAR... O:-)

My criminal justice instructor was with the 101st then with SF in Vietnam.

PLEASE bring back the grounded podcast. I just started BJJ and it's the best thing ever..

Never clicked so fast. Been waiting on another one

John has that look, that looks through your soul

I thank God that Americans like this still exist, and I'm so glad they made it back to tell the story. Unbelievable.

When John said, "Wooter", I knew he was from New Jersey :)

Soooooo,,,,ummmm,,, WHAT was in the ruck sack? 🤔 Episode 18, and we still DONT know. We gottsta know Tilt & Larry. Ya cant leave all us Sog cast junkies hangin like that. 😂. P.s. we need more Sog cast released Mr. Meyer. Asap. 😊

Yes. More!

Very interesting, the Indians refer to their combat engineers as sappers. I love learning the different terms and traditions of militaries around the world.

The Greatest Warrior's Of All Time

Incredible story great Podcast one question out of curiosity if marble mountain wasn't thoroughly recond why would you put the base camp at the bottom of it
