Summary

MARSOC. Intelligence Hacking. Dagger Ops. For Staff Sergeant Michael Bloch, doing rad stuff is all in a days work. And after 12 years of service to our country as a Marine Corps. Raider, Bloch's been busy - he's served as a combat instructor, deployed as a contractor, and even founded his own company, EBS Defense Consulting, along with Project Vetworx, a veteran nonprofit. It's a lot for any one person to handle, much less a vet suffering post-traumatic stress. Fortunately, the V.A. has options for treatment like Nuvigil, a medication that's reported to promote wakefulness. But like any medication, too much of a good thing can quickly turn out bad. Just take it from Michael.

0:07.4	at a time. I was on it for four and a half years.
0:14.2	You know this is all based on their testimony, some footage from his ring camera,
0:20.7	but I just completely blacked out. It decided to leave, got my vehicle and started driving home.
0:30.1	At some point I'd pull over, got my pistol out of my car and just started wildly shooting
0:37.2	in the end of the air and shot up my own car. What a couple rounds into traffic,
0:43.9	fortunately no one was injured. What happened is the medication caused this incident.
0:49.8	I'd gone through all the procedures to be on this and it was helping, you know,

0:59.1	to do that. Welcome to Mic Drop, the podcast where relevancy is irrelevant and we don't give a

1:47.2	Yeah, I don't mean to make light of your situation on the same token you got to keep a sense of
1:51.3	humor, right? So you have to. What's the last full book that you read? Last full book. Hard
1:58.2	hard copy because I do a lot of oddball but the last hard copy book was call sign chaos.
