This is the Danger Close Podcast

Beyond the Books with me, Jack Carr.

Welcome to the Danger Close Podcast, and I'm clad original, presented by Navy Federal Credit Union.

My guest today, John Stryker Tilt Meyer.

John is an author, reporter, and US Army Special Forces soldier. He's a combat

veteran of Mac V. Sog and Vietnam and has chronicled his experiences and those of

Mac V. Sogg in his books, Across the Fence, on the Ground, The Secret War in Vietnam,

and Sog Chronicles.

He is a speaker, consultant, and host of the podcast, Sog Cast, Untold Stories of MacV Sog.

And now, without further ado, John Strykermeyer.

Oh man, all right, kicking it off.

Man, this was so cool.

I mean, I was so excited when I saw you driving the gate because we've been

talking for so long on direct message and text and and got to talk on the podcast, but it was remote last time and it's just

finally shook your hand so I mean it is such an honor to have you here it means

mutual admiration society sir absolutely thank you Thank you. And thank you also for your help on the novels because this last year I was texting you. How do you, you know, because sometimes you think you know something and then you start writing it and for whatever reason you think

oh have I been is this the right way to do this or have I been thinking about this

defining this the wrong way for 25 years or something.

And a couple of times I've looked into how to say something

or what an acronym means.

And I've just assumed for years

because we've just, in the seal teams or whatever else have said a certain thing that that's what it what but when you look into the actual doctrine or the actual definition you realize it's not not quite right.
