Thank you very much.

Welcome folks to the team VTEC podcast. I'm your guest host this week, Lynn Ashley.

Now, whoa, whoa, I know what you're saying. What did you do with Kyle? What did you do with Kyle?

Just hold on. So we're up here at the SIG Academy and we just shot the inaugural SIG 365

everyday carry match. And I've got a guest, special guest that is going to be on the show with me today

and he really needs no introduction. He's normally here as the host. Kyle Lim. Well, Lynn,

thanks for having me on the team VTEC podcast. I am, dude, I'm excited to be here.

Roger that. Yeah. So, you know, Kyle and I were talking a little while back and I said,

hey, let me, let's let's flip it, right? Let's put the shoe on the other foot. Let me be the host

and let me ask the questions because I thought it would be really interesting hearing Kyle talk

and Kyle's side of some of the things I'm going to talk to him about. And what we're going to

try to do today is kind of do a variety. So we're going to talk a little bit about lessons learned

from Black Hawk Down, the mission in Somalia, really focused on like training TTPs, lessons learned

weapons, that kind of thing. We're also going to keep it a little bit lighthearted and we're going

to talk about, you know, just a variety of things, leadership, writing, training and all those

things. So, hey, I got to interrupt, though, as the guest. Just so yeah, just so all you guys out

there know that Lynn is a very good friend of mine. He's a retired special forces guy as well.

He was a gut eater. So he was an officer, but a very well respected officer. And just so you kind

of understand where we're coming from, we've known each other for a long time, 30 plus years.

Yeah. So yeah, I'm ready, man, I tell you, honestly, I'm a little nervous because you look a

little nervous. We, we got to come clean. We actually had to stop and get a cup of coffee and

there's no Black Rifle coffee in New Hampshire. So we had to go to that other place.
