Son of a Blitch Podcast, Ep. 87 w/ Darrell Utt (Former Green Beret & Author of "Grit To Glory"
What does it take to transform from a young boy in West Virginia into a Green Beret navigating the streets of Baghdad? Meet former Green Beret Master Sergeant Darrell Utt, the author of "Grit to Glory: A Green Beret's Journey from West Virginia to the Streets of Baghdad," as he unravels his incredible story of resilience, leadership, and the powerful "grit code" he developed along the way. Daryl opens up about his challenging upbringing in Huntington, West Virginia, and the profound influence of his football coach, Carl T. Thornburg (a former Green Beret Master Sergeant, himself), who steered him towards a military career. Discover how mentorship and pivotal life experiences propelled Darrell into the upper echelons of the Special Forces, and the invaluable lessons he learned that resonate in both military and civilian arenas.
From the initial daunting steps as a young infantry soldier to becoming a seasoned member of the elite Special Forces, Darrell recounts his journey with raw honesty and insight. The discussion delves into the critical role perseverance and mentorship played in overcoming self-doubt and achieving formidable goals. Alongside thrilling accounts of his missions, including presidential security details and intense combat operations, Darrell sheds light on the intricate dance between confidence and humility in leadership. His stories of camaraderie, sacrifice, and the transition from military to civilian life offer listeners a profound understanding of the grit and resilience needed to face life's toughest challenges.
As we anticipate the release of Darrell's debut book on December 3rd, our conversation also highlights the importance of supporting veteran organizations and giving back to the community. With heartfelt anecdotes and personal reflections, Darrell provides an intimate look into the brotherhood formed in battle and the ongoing efforts to support fellow veterans. Tune in to explore Darrell's transformative journey, the lasting impact of his experiences, and the powerful narrative captured in "Grit to Glory," a story that promises to leave you inspired and eager to turn the pages.

    Always protect your blades. It literally takes up 30 seconds. I use wax on my TKell FMF, its AEB-L. Dont care, i still wax it after use. Thats what i was taught by my pops among a wealth of other knowledge. Does it always need it? No. But why not clean your tools properly? Always re-sharpen any blade you use before you go to sleep that same night you get back. Always. That goes with my firearms too. I Always FULLY clean and oil any pistols, revolvers, rifles or shotguns after ANY use. A singke shot hunt or 300 rounds at the range. All the same to me. Its not just about necessity its about readiness and self respect. Take care of your tools and they will not fail to take care of you. I have a few buddys that agree generally but think i overkill the cleaning too. I see what theyre saying but like i said, its what i was taught and id be a fool to not listen to the advice of a Force Recon Marine and career Police Officer. The cleaning is part of my after hunt (or even after a fishing trip) debrief windown. The tools get clean before i get clean. Cant sleep otherwise.

Its range extends from Florida in the southern United States to as far south as Argentina. Common names include firebush, hummingbird bush, scarlet bush, and redhead.
