Summary

The Duality of Service when completing 10 combat deployments with development group, all while being a staunch Christian is delicate yet impressive balance. I had the honor of sitting down with AMTAC shooting owner Bill Rapier, where we discussed his time serving in one of the most prestigious units in existence, growing up overseas, his family and faith, and living off the grid in Northern Idaho. Super interesting life of one hell of a warrior.

0:07.8	a latte on the bus with some music or on a walk with a friend. My only resolution is
0:14.9	to enjoy more of what I love. Like switching up my usual with oat, soy, almond or coconut.

0:53.9	You're down in Southern Afghanistan. It was a long, long infill. Good route. We got in there
1:08.0	and we get on target. The target itself wasn't so amazing. And then it just erupted around
1:19.0	us. Fire coming in from three different directions. AC 130, going hot. Very, very close.
1:28.3	We're up in the air and we're seeing tracer fires come up from all these different compounds.
1:32.8	And I'm watching and I couldn't tell if tracer fire was ripping through the heat low

1:42.0	going to shw-ah just hammering. We know what their mini guns into all those compounds.

2:15.4	my next guest to the podcast. He spent 20 years on active duty as a US Navy SEAL. He did
2:21.2	10 deployments at the infamous development group. He earned a silver star there as well
