Mike Glover Returns - Danger Close with Jack Carr

[@gustonzimasheen]

1:01:00: I'm Vietnamese Montagnard and was born towards the end of the war in Vietnam. My father helped out the SpecOp forces during this time. I ended up losing my family after our village got wiped out in the conflict, and was adopted, and am living now in New Zealand. I was cracking up when you were talking earlier about your childhood, 19:30: as this was practically exactly the same as my childhood at that age. I was heavily into recon work, and those early experiences really helped.

[@2saxey808]

I’m not sure Jack or Mike will see this, but I need to thank both of you. You keep me motivated and create content that I love. You both inspire me and give me a drive to be better. I’m this episode you talk about missing out and I did lol. I left USAF SERE and Special Tactics. I regret it every day. Again thank you both so much and know you will always have a huge market.

[@ChristopherJohnston]

Watching these guys talk about growing up in the 80s was so awesome. I loved The Fall Guy and Airwolf, and I also played in the woods and had things like inert grenades when I was a kid. I remember working in a dead-end job when Operation Desert Shield and the following Desert Storm launched. I had just gotten into college and thought about dropping out and joining the military. It is one of the great regrets of my life that I did not.

[@x0j]

hell yeah u coulda ended up as hamburger in a desert halfway across the world, fighting for Israel. Probably beats your boring ass life today of showing diverse students how to apply for federal aid with videos.

[@danielcadwell9812]

How old are these guys? Never mind I looked it up Jack Carr's 47 and the other guy is 43. I'd bet the younger guy doesn't remember much of the eighties.

Life in the 80's. Truly Grateful growing up as a kid.

[@jacobkonkel6793]

I always love the movie and media references. I'm a 90's kid and grew up hybrid with outdoor play and video games. 80's kids were certainly the last generation that was 100% outdoor play. Need to revive that.

[@brewsfoodtravel9761]

Thanks gents, great conversation. Brought back a ton of memories from my childhood of the 70’s. FYI Point 6 is out of Steamboat CO. I was an ambassador for a year. Excellent stuff!

I was born in 1970. I love the flash back on the memories. I have a battery operated .30 cal on a bipod. I used to set it up in the ditch and defend my home with it! And I hadn't thought about Mack Bolan and the Phoenix Force books in years!

[@bryanmcdermott4204]

Mike is wearing shoes so you know it's a momentous occasion...or cold. Thanks for this collaboration. And yes, I miss buying caps at K-Mart. As for socks, there are a couple of manufacturers in NC who do stuff for team sports. Whether they're set up for heavy duty stuff I don't know.

[@scottsherman5262]

I remember when I was a kid we played with bags of broken glass & flame throwers...& those of us who survived are mostly OK....well, I mean most of us aren't OK. I'm realizing now that not everything we did was better than what's happening today.

Great Ep- love the 80’s TV, Movie, Book stuff--we all clearly grew up differently than today’s youth-but there is hope and I see it everyday. My son has been training hard for 18X and his training buddy is going Option 40 in July. My former junior 18B and I have been training them to standard from our day, so they will be hard as woodpecker lips compared to their peers🇺🇸🤙🏼

[@lindacunningham9343]

Nice chat. Love listening to you guys talk about anything.

[@snakeman48]

Great podcast. I met Mike FTF at the Sig Sauer Camp Legion last year in August. So down to earth person who did so much in defense of our country. I was so impressed I gave him one of my challenge coins I had made up from my meager time in the Army. As for audio books. It's the only was I can do a book. If I try to physically read one, it would take for ever. I would read several pages, fall asleep, then wake up and do it again. It's just me and not the author or subject matter.

[@ericcorbett3919]

At the University of Montana they had a course called Soldiers Story Retold. It was a 3 hour a week talk with combat veterans. It ranged from WW2 vets to Desert Storm, even a German POW who was sent to Montana to be held. It was a great influence in my ideas of what a veteran is.

[@keirajane9380]

I agree with you guys talking about buying products in America. I also agree that I just like when people try to shame you for not buying American. Especially when most of the American companies get their parts from overseas. So basically, it is OK for them to keep their overhead in check. But when it comes to you saving money so that you can have a better budget to provide for you and your family. It’s not OK. I also try to make sure the things that I buy is American. but when you live on a budget. Sometimes things don’t work out that way. Both of you, keep up the good work. Keep putting out content that is healthy and entertaining for anyone at any age.

We had a big helmet we never wore a flak jacket that didnt work and at first an m14 and later anew m16 that at first sucked. No armour lol bare arms and chest with an open flak jacket and a jungle hat. They would drop 4 or 6 of us at a time who knows where and have us observeand trynot to engage.
