1st Special Forces Group CIF leader Mike Perry, Ep. 91

[@TheTeamHousePodcast]

In this bonus segment for our supporters, Mike talks about his unique deployment to Afghanistan. www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-mike-perry-50902085

[@jackmoore9363]

Wonder if Mike Perry served Matt Medeiros? Also if he was 1st group then he knows my uncle Retired SGM Walt Hetzler. Hell 2nd Battalion 1st SFG named a wing after him.

[@goldencheese7247]

@@lucian9599 Dave war Abends in New York in der U-Bahn unterwegs, glaube so gegen 22.00h. Guckte gerade auf sein cellphone, auf einmal tats unvermittelt einen dicken Schlag, er ging zu Boden. Die Schläge gingen weiter während er sich orientierte und über ihn einen dunklen Gentleman sah der ihn ihmmer wieder mit wuchtigen Schlägen auf den Kopf eindeckte. Er hat sich gewehrt so gut es ging. Nach etwas 2 Stationen sind dann neue Passagiere in sein Abteil eingestiegen, worauf der Angreifer flüchtete. Im Krankenhaus wurden mehrere Schädelfrakturen festgestellt und der Schädelinnendruck war aufgrund der Hämatome bedenklich gestiegen. Konnte dann aber entlastet werden, so dass die Hirnschwellung zurückging. War ca 3 Wochen unklar welche Schäden permanent bleiben, so wie Sprachzentrum etc. Es wurde eine gofundme für die medical bills ins Leben gerufen, die superschnell mehr als erfüllt war und nach ca 6 Wochen meine ich hat er wieder an nem. Podcast teilgenommen. Da sieht man auch noch wie übel er zugerichtet wurde. Stellt sich raus der Angreifer hat immer wieder mit einem STEIN auf seinen Kopf eingeschlagen. Talk about being lucky to survive! Der Typ muss wohl ein homeless drug crazed piece of...work gewesen sein. Watch the first podcast when Dave was back, it's heartbreaking so see his face and you can deduce how close he came to being reduced to a pulp. Cool einen weiteren deutschsprachigen TeamHouse Zuschauer zu sprechen. 🤟🏻🇺🇸🇩🇪♥️

The first guy on any podcast who has admitted to failing Delta Selection apart from Goggins. Eddie Gallagher has also stated he washed out of DEVGRU Green Team.

Imagine dropping out of high school and then achieving a couple of degrees as a valedictorian.

First chapter of this show was WILD. Mike's making me laugh, then I see Dave cracking up and I laugh even harder. Second chapter was amazing with Mike giving the oral history of early 90's SF you wont get to read in books.

I have to say again how much I admire your channel. This is in my top 3 interviewees so far. The others being Ben milligan, and SGM. Mike Vining. But one thing I really respect is the displays and explanations of both success and failure. The real person behind the title. I remember being a young naive Sailor 20 years ago now and being told more of the mythology of special operations more than the fact that people make up the ranks. I of course learned that through the years. But your interviews,,as well as your own experiences truly bring the reality to the viewer. Thanks a lot guys! Bravo Zulu!

Mike is an amazing story of what innate talents (his physical & academic abilities) can get you if there is somehow a way to apply them. But I was unpleasantly surprised by the stories of using tasers on the heads and balls of detainees. And this was after Abu Ghraib. More surprised that this was done by SF, not some barely out of basic regular unit. I expected better.

The "Up or Out" thing must be a recurring nightmare because I no it was there in 1986. We nearly lost a a GREAT company clerk because all promotions stopped at HHQ and she was passed over for Spec 4 twice. The Captain Cowder had to go and get it taken care of. If she had been male, it would have been all SOL. Same company, same promotion round; A company's supply sergeant was promoted to E-6. Our supply sergeant had been an E-5 longer than she had been in the Army; but she was female and black.

It’s interesting him describing the almost childish ness of delta referring to the gym protocol were you have to leave if three delta guys walk in. I know someone who worked with the British sas as part of their support team and apparently they do the same thing, they were at a pub and they spoke to a member of another unit and was told that if they saw them again not to speak to them. As well as the ops tempo with the guy wanting 200 raids apparently the sas has the same wanting to brake a record of something. It’s interesting to see no matter where you are you get the same type of guys in these units. ( should note this is all from what I heard but I know my mate did actually get to work with the sas in a support role so if they wanted to make something up they could deffo make something up more crazy)

This has been an example of an ADHD young man who did not rid himself of those disadvantages, but employed them in a world that needed him. I come from an upper middle class family but in younger years was a fighter on streets, got through college and law school with a wife that strangely enough, though a beautiful farm girl, came to understand my "make-up". My career was not fiscally great; I chose to care for the poor as a court appointed lawyer, often chosen by a judge to fight for them. For me, it was preserving the constitutional rights of even the mostly "beastly" clients.. In a 1st degree murder jury trial, it so much like armed combat, but in a regulated environment, with the same requirements of the lawyer as Mike Perry describes of his responsibilities. And, with gang involvement , I have been shot at a fair number of times, and to this day I am well armed when on the streets.
