DELTA FORCE OPERATOR | THE DEBRIEF | Former Green Beret & Delta Force Brent Tucker

In this episode of The Debrief, former 22 SAS Trooper Big Phil Campion speaks to Brent Tucker.
A 9th generation Floridian, Brent enjoyed his time, schooling & sports in his hometown, until the tragic events of 9/11 led him to ask what he could do for his country. First joining Air Defence, before completing the near-year long training to become a Green Beret, Brent didn't stop there, and continued to advance his career. After 4 tours as a Green Beret, Brent passed the selection process to become a Tier 1 Delta Force Operator. His fierce passion to fight for his country led him to more overseas tours, including an operation that almost cost him his life. Surviving a round from an AK47 and a grenade blast, Brent and his team pulled off a daring escape, and he was awarded a Purple Heart Medal for the operation.
Brent began training police SWAT teams upon his return to civilian life, and soon realised the first responders were operating with poor funding and support for their wounded or fallen members.
Brent is the proud founder of:
First Responders Coffee Company (FRCC) - frccoffee.com/
&
First Responders Cigar Company - frccoffee.com/collections/cigars
And has raised tens of thousands of dollars to help support First Responders and their families.

Another really enjoyable podcast, mate. So long as we're friends with America, there will always be hope.

[@ForceRadioHQ]

Absolutely

[@JohnnyCarterMusicOfficial]

translation : we are a tiny country with a tiny military that's incapable of defending ourselves so we have to rely on America to save our ass otherwise we'll get utterly obliterated by literally anyone that wanted to harm us. lol

[@davidcowley]

It’s amazing to me that these guys can still operate or even recall what’s going on after almost losing an arm. The training and hardship these guys go through just can’t be properly explained.

[@jbird4165]

Fun fact: Brent Tucker was army national guard special forces with 20th group. A lot of people don’t even know the 19th and 20th exist

[@ForceRadioHQ]

First time viewer. Great job Mate. Brent's story is legendary. Not unfamiliar with it. He presents a compelling, rational and logically sound argument with respect to the military (getting off it's proud arse) and tangibly supporting First Responders. Many sound bytes take aways.

Big Phil, you and a few of the lads must have some hilerous stories of shit that went wrong either operational or in traning not just SF but also green army. We need the funny side of it all. Great respect for everybody who served. UK Forces best in the world.. FACT. Foxy nailed it, "we have the best forces in the world due to our traing grounds". Mostly Wales.

[@leetaylor2428]

Delta and SAS are based on one another We taught them but America devgru and delta/CAG etc get unlimited cash so it gives them a lot of TTPs with the best equipment but SAS were still using bright lights on weapon in IRAQ instead of using top night vision/lasers etc but we make up for it with talent John macaleese and Billy billingham were proper tier 1 operators

[@danielcampbell9457]

ya'll didnt "teach" our delta operators, Beckwith who stood up delta went thru your SAS selection and OTC personally and succeeded (macaleese and another SAS legend who had a YT channel before he passed and has an episode dedicated to beckwith and what he managed to do everyday and night for almost a year straight, were in the same selection as beckwith in the late 70's) WHILE forming the blue print, the training regime, desired operator psycology, neccessary capabilities etc.... everynight after he would get done with that days selection requirements or otc training. so while everyone else were either resting or having a few beers, beckwith had his nose to the grindstone DOUBLE TIME forming the blueprint for delta's selection/otc and core capabilities that has till this very day remained virtually unchanged. delta and sas are very close but they are not 1-1 when it comes to the fine print.

[@leetaylor2428]

@@danielcampbell9457 I agree with everything you said as becwith came an moulded a team around the SAS after the failed Iran deal when helicopter crashed but yeah America and Britain are very close and done top high value targets together

[@leetaylor2428]

No he was working as a gamekeeper in Carolina after leaving devgru red squadron as its him who first got the hatchet that all red squadron use an I also think other blue gold and silver adopted it as obviously they had a use for it and a few years later yes only way he could get into delta through a phone call with the black hawk down legend Kyle lamb and he told him he needed to enlist so quickest way was through national guard which a few delta boys did same thing
