| 0:00.0 | What's up, everybody? Just before we jump into this amazing podcast with Chief Master |
| 0:10.9 | Sergeant Retired Wayne Norrad, aka The Godfather of Special Tactics, I wanted to put a quick |
| 0:16.4 | plug out there for afspecwar.com. It is literally the clearinghouse for every single piece |
| 0:21.5 | of information that you could possibly need. You know a bunch of times, you'll DM us |
| 0:25.7 | and you'll say, oh, I have this question. And the first thing that we ask you is, did |
| 0:29.2 | you check afspecwar.com from your IFT packet to directions on how to find a recruiter, which |
| 0:34.7 | we get all the time. There's a million different resources that are in one specific place. |
| 0:40.0 | So one more time, www.afspecwar.com. Check out the resources tab. Any questions that you |
| 0:46.2 | have, it's a great starting point. If you don't have your questions answered there, hit |
| 0:49.9 | us up on the DMs as always. Enough of me talking. We're going to get into this great podcast |

| 1:01.9 | not listen to this podcast. Go outside and go play with some sports. We are extremely |
| 1:07.8 | excited. Obviously, Chief Peaches, myself, Aaron, back here in the team room. I don't know |
| 1:14.0 | how to properly describe the gentleman that we're about to sit down and talk to. I don't |
| 1:17.9 | know if we should say legend or giant or just maybe his commonly accepted nickname, which |
| 1:23.2 | is The Godfather of Special Tactics, himself, Chief Wayne Norrad. Chief, welcome to the |
| 1:28.6 | podcast. Thank you for sitting down with us. So I'm just going to turn it over. I have |
| 1:36.5 | a problem with overtalking. I would just like you to take a career that you have had and |
| 1:41.3 | tell people kind of what your experience is. And then of course, we're going to jump into |
| 1:44.9 | some specifics later. But can you just sort of give us a rundown of everything starting |
| 1:49.8 | back when you enlisted in the Air Force to where you are now? |
