My dad was a Green Beret and suffered from PTSD. My senior year of high school he got super mad (just like Tom talks about in the first 15min) and he just ended it all…in our kitchen…standing beside the table…3 feet from my mom and siblings. I so wish that he was here today to watch and listen to this episode. Tom and Shawn both hit the head of the nail on this one. Everything they mentioned, I witnessed growing up. We walked on eggshells 24/7 trying to avoid doing anything that would trigger him. Awesome episode. Thank you for raising awareness

[@kjmatson3721]

Sorry man, my dad did the same thing. He went out back while my mom and brother were out getting groceries and took his life. I often wonder what kind of pain he must have been going through to get to that point.

Hi, I’m a 22 year old woman. What advice would you give to a woman that wants to be a Delta Force assaulter? How does the Delta community feel about women joining them? If you had to go to Delta Force selection again, how would you prepare differently? Has a woman ever graduated from the Operators Training Course? I’m 5’8” and 168lbs, is that a good or bad size?

I was around him for a couple of years in the early 2000s in a support job. He was always friendly, never took a status approach with operator/support guy status. 20 years later, I reached out to his organization for 2 of my friends and he offered his complete services for them. The world is better off with Tom and Jen on it.

My brother is a former Marine he served from 92-98. He was in Camp Pendeltan when the Marines were sent to Somalia and luckily he didn’t get sent to Somalia. But at the time not knowing if he was going there or not was the worst. We heard from him and he said he wasn’t being sent to Somalia. The movie Black Hawk Down still gets to him on a deeper level he may not admit to it.

I finished this whole series today. This was probably one of the best interviews on so many different levels that I have ever listened to. I am glad he shared this with us. Some of it reminds me of a friend I lost. He was a federal law enforcement guy, not a military veteran, but he had some PTSD issues that I didn’t understand despite my best efforts to. He didn’t commit suicide, but he slowly killed himself with alcohol. It was very sad, but listening to this, especially Part 3, helped me feel like I have a better understanding of it.

@briangrady367 I hear ya, brother. They way these 2 have had me change the way I look at myself just through their videos. Was like a light switch. To where I just shut everyone off or meet things with anger so people would leave me alone. Was misable, I hated it. But that was all I understood. But now I think of others feeling and going into uncomfortable places. Now I am not fixed, but way better. Thanks to these 2 special people. Thanks for your comment.

Holy crap... I am 10:55 in and him talking bout reintegration, TBI, and PTSD, just punched me right in the gut... I have been out since 11" and I am still having issues reintegrating. This interview is going to be a doozy for me. I love it already. Thank you for your service Sir! I had a Marine buddy who eventually joined the National Guard in MN, was perimeter security for them back when this happened. This was the one thing he never really wanted to talk about during his Marine career.

Hey Shawn. I love your podcasts, and I just wanted to let you know that they are helping people who are NOT war veterans. I'm just an ICU nurse. I worked through the pandemic and I have been having a really hard time dealing with the amount of death I have seen and the traumatic nightmares I have had to watch people go through, on a daily basis during that event and overall for the past 10 years I have been a nurse. The intro to this podcast with Tom really really helped me, along with your other podcasts. Sometimes I feel my trauma is nothing compared to what other people have seen or done. But, I'm learning thats not the case. Just trying to say, thank you brother. And thank you Tom.

Amazing podcast. So awesome to hear the selection and training process of a delta operator. Not a lot of that information is out there and I’m sure they wouldn’t do it on any podcast without credibility. Sean you really have gotten some of the best warriors our country has seen over the last 30 years. Well done sir. Your audience appreciates your hard work and dedication to getting these stories out. The great thing is these stories will now forever be out there in the internet.

Hi, I’m a 22 year old woman and I’m from Arizona. What advice would you give to a woman that wants to be a Delta Force assaulter? How does the Delta community feel about women joining them? If you had to go to Delta Force selection again, how would you prepare differently? Has a woman ever graduated from the Operators Training Course? I’m 5’8” and 168lbs, is that a good or bad size? What books or workout programs would you recommend to prepare for it?

[@williamfarley7134]

These shows help a lot. Working in a career field that has a lot of traumatic events, high suicide rates, high divorce rates, and trying to learn how to change is always easier said than done. A few years ago, I was involved in a traumatic event, which I always did great with turning work off when I left. However this event changed something, I couldn’t drive in traffic, I couldn’t walk at times, I would lay on the couch and just vomit for days. After about 8 weeks of this I finally started being able to talk to my wife a little about what happened, listening to these vets talk about PTSD has help me overcome a lot.

[@joshuadevelis1531]

Watching this episode and listening to CSM Satterly talk is starting to make me think I haven't done enough yet.....idk tbc.....Shawn thank you for all that you do on this platform and for fellow vets, CSM Satterly Thank you for your service and sacrifice, if I accomplish 1/8th of what you have by your age I would be very proud.

[@johannnburghaus8469]

I was in the German army for 9 month as a conscript. And since I studied law afterwards, I was thinking about signing for 2 years to have a financial cushion. And when I said this one day, the Colonel took me aside and said: Now listen, and listen carefully. You don't wanna go in a warzone and come home with PTSD, no matter how much they pay you. Go study with less money, but forget about this right now. Guess this was a really good advice...

[@shayewilliamsonwilliamson597]

He was giving you great advice. Going to war would've, most likely, caused you to not have the ability to continue your career in that are. Your thought processes and wit would've suffered from the trauma and changed your life completely. I'd say he knew you were good at what you were doing and knew people needed you at your best. Great minds have different gifts and I believe that's what he saw in you. Your gift wad to help, protect, and fight in a different war, for people that needed you to be exactly who you are. His experience is what caused him to pull you aside and give you his advice. He must have really thought a lot of you and had faith in the direction you were going.
