With ya 100% Kevin. Born and raised Wexford man here. Emigrated to the US in the mid 2000’s. I couldn’t imagine living in Ireland today. It’s a nice romantic thought, but I would never give up the freedoms and opportunities the US had given me and I will be forever grateful to the USA for that. My wife and children who are all born and raised in the US are well versed on how good we have it here. But they all know the value of Irish heritage, culture and of course the food. The full Irish breakfast, brown bread and colcannon are big treats in our house. I’ve spent many years all over the US, with long stints in California, Texas and finally where our homestead is now, Alaska. Kevin, you have to take a serious look at Alaska. Moving from the lower 48 to Alaska is akin to the same difference as moving from Ireland to the US. True freedom! If you ever make it up this way, I’d love to host or help you make a business deduction out of it. Maybe we can get you lined up for some trainings with our local LEO’s. You already have a great following up here with a lot of veterans. If you ever plan to come this way, let me know. I’ll have the tae on for ya! 😎 God bless!

Great podcasts Kevin. Grew up in West Belfast in 60’s, 70’s and early 80’s. Left for US on May 5 1981, to join USAF. Spent 5 of those years in the USAF in CCT. Slainte.

Hey Kev, your comments about counselling guys that maybe are not fully engaging are spot on. Sometimes it is the 'quiet word' that makes all the difference.

[@BSaunders3754]

Regarding what you like best about your current work; I have the exact same response. I have so much more time and it’s absolutely amazing to not be running around trying to get so much stuff done. I relish the idea that my life has slowed down to a manageable pace. It feels so much more reasonable.

[@CmoreTalkLess]

Boy it's crazy how small of a world it is. Yeah Lake George is beautiful brotha. I love calling it home

[@kevinowens9636]

Anyway, great listening to your Channel and yeah Truly TRUTHSPOKEN always Kevin... 100%!..👊👏👏👏

[@DetPaddyOC]

The Derry question was priceless! 😂

[@gustavsmg]

I read in one of these comments you said had signatures of your unit members from your time in Ireland. I have a 2 part question. 1-i saw from an interview you were a tier one unit member but did you ever do any training with any other countries tier one units that was closest to Ireland? And 2-have you ever tried to keep in contact with any of your former teammates from your Ireland unit? BTW i saw your interview on Mike Ritland podcast and i very much enjoyed it. Ive always been fascinated by guys who have served under tier 1 units or any special operations. Thank you for your service! I love this country more than most I'd say these days and this election is probably one of the most important in American history i think anyway. If you feel like it id lovd your thoughts on whats going on these days...sorry this was so long 😂 and i dont blame ya if all this is too long to answer. Thanks!

[@hannibalbarca2939]

Your brutal honesty and self deprecating humor are just too damn good.

[@GryphonIndustrial]

Can't wait for those two interviews to drop! I've already listened to your interview with SGM Chuck Ritter twice. What a crazy story.

[@edwardbranch3520]

Love the content!

[@kevinowens9636]

thank you

[@j.lokibass1430]

Vinnie looks like a big sweety I’m glad you share the same outlook on dogs. Some people have a very unfortunate understanding on how dogs behave and it’s sad

[@intolead]

[@LikeABoss1211]

[@zacharyrowe8667]

Thanks for staying Down to earth. Good podcast.

[@cstout1634]

OH MAN! I love these.

[@bryanmcdermott4204]

This was once again educational and entertaining.

[@catinthahat8775]

JTAC Ranch in Florida has a long range set up. Im sure they'd have ya.

[@4thOfJulyMamasApplePie]

Love your content Kevin!

[@blackbird2056]

Kevin this was the first caffeine and questions I have watched enjoyed every min. Watching for a long range course to come up.

[@kevinowens9636]

It will post today

[@BruceMusto]

Feel the same way about flying. Would rather drive.

[@squatch2461]

Thanks for doing these.

[@DetPaddyOC]

Please bring Vinnie this weekend if practicable. I’ll miss my 3 dags while I’m there 😅

[@edrodabaugh2598]

KO I really enjoy these. Keep up the great work

[@jasonrad9332]

Good stuff Kevin!

[@pb7087]

My 16” criterion barreled 6.5 CM AR10 is fantastic. I can hit the majority of shots on 2 MOA targets at 1k yards, even with imperfect wind reads. It’s not going to win really specialized precision-focused competitions like F-class or anything, but I am so confident in it for a lot of tasks along the entire spectrum of ranges from room distances to 1k yards.

[@DjAdagio]

100%, Practice Makes You So much better than the Other Guy who has a Slight on his Pistol, So yeah, Practice Practice and Keep it up You just never know What situation you could be in, PRACTICE...100%!.

[@kevclaremcd]

Could you be a Psychiatrist, !!! Like me not in the medical sense anyway!!. But, seriously, we did have to have some form of assessment of both ourselves and our peers. and no more than myself Kevin, we would certainly have a 'gut' feeling that may not equate to modern medical methods. I like the idea you mention about 'peer classes' Not everyone is the brash, full of testosterone guy, but there is a place for the quiet introverted guys. Great stuff as always.

[@leonhogan8294]

Hello from Ireland Kevin

[@petegrant4111]

Excellent podcast- very informative and beneficial ! Thank you ! 1:11:41

[@kevinowens9636]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@TheBusiness11]

Any advice on joining army and going ranger or sf at older age just turned 30 herd on a podcast you were on you joined at a later age any advice would be great.

[@kevinowens9636]

30 is not old, it's mature, go for it

[@nowherespecial6780]

How did you feel about the 6.8. SPC. And why do you think it did not take off?

[@danielcampbell9457]

kevin quick question. i see u have a bit of SF memorabilia, but why dont u have any irish ranger wing memorabilia? isnt that irelands most elite unit? you may have already spoke about this and i missed it, but regardless was just curious. unless if u do have some and ive always just missed it.

[@kevinowens9636]

I don't have much, i have a coin and a badge, the Bodhran behind me is an Irish Musical instrument. It was given to me when i attended an International Sniper course at the ARW. It was signed by the unit members

[@nowherespecial6780]

L o l I love this shit. That's why I watch it. Because you are straightforward

[@thefinalrestoration]

Which two gas guns of yours are as accurate as bolt guns?

[@ExtremeUnction1988]

I bet you he'd say his LaRue OBR type rifles.....

[@thefinalrestoration]

@@ExtremeUnction1988 would he say the LMT MARS H that he shot with Garandthumb compares favorably?

[@ExtremeUnction1988]

@@thefinalrestoration I honestly can't say for sure (obviously), but I have heard him in his videos talk about both rifles VERY enthusiastically, and would probably say that they're both great. As is his manner he would certainly describe both rifles as HAMMERS. LOL.

[@ajback2917]

"Stop whining, get off the couch and go and do some PT" I think you're right when you say you wouldn't have made it as a shrink. Your billable hours would be too low!

[@BruceMusto]

Don't drink the water at Lejune.

[@TristanGoingNorth]

Is that a Dwight Shrute coffee mug?

[@kevinowens9636]

Why, yes it is, good eye, Dwight rocks 😎

"...the British call it Londonderry." No, the British call it "Idontgivearatsassderry", the Protestant Northern Irish call it Londonderry.

[@JohnSmith-ei6sc]

Listen pal I subscribed but I’m already married.

[@JohnSmith-ei6sc]

Brother why would you not choose Israeli special forces? Or JTF2? I mean what? I get not choosing the SAS because of the history but god damn lol
