Title:  Craig ‘Chili’ Palmer: Army Special Mission Unit Operator and Hollywood Military Technical Advisor

Description:

Today’s guest is former Army Special Mission Unit Operator and combat veteran Craig “Chili” Palmer.

Chili served in the 75th Ranger Regiment in both 1st Battalion and the Regimental Reconnaissance Company. A week after reporting to 1st Battalion he made his first combat jump into Panama for Operation Just Cause.  After two years as a Military Free Fall Instructor, he was selected for the U.S. Army’s top tier special mission unit where he served for another 17 years, making 13 combat deployments during the Global War on Terror. He retired as Sergeant Major. Post-military, he has worked in research-and-development on military technologies that benefit special operations forces. He is also a firearms instructor for SIG Sauer and Viking Tactics.

His extensive combat and weapons experience has made him a highly sought-after expert in Hollywood as a military technical advisor. Chili’s film credits include How It Ends, Extraction, The Gray Man, and Extraction 2, set for release in 2023.
