    My uncle, Lt. JG John David Gollahon, was a Seawolf, died in a non-combat helicopter accident during which, as he was catching a ride while his was being repaired, had engine trouble, ditched in a river, capsized and was the only one to not escape, drowned. This was crushing to the family, and the tremors of his passing can sometimes be felt even today (as are most every wartime death) in my mom or his only son whom he never met.
    God bless these brave warriors.
    Thank God for America, and the all-volunteer military who is still ready to go and sacrifice for freedom; albeit it is sickening when our ‘leaders’ involve us into conflicts without clear objectives, accurate intelligence, and loss of sight of how are conditions on the ground.
    May We The People remain vigilant against tyranny yet hold accountable those into whom we trust with our freedom and lives.

      We live in a rare time. In the past these stories would be relegated to the odd conversation over a beer with close friends or family. In the future, they may be cut out by whatever regime controls that particular website, company, platform.

      My grandma was a ww2 nurse and later went into the OSS as a Language instructor. She saw combat in the European theater when when her field hospital/med base was attacked, she talked about how she couldn't stand the recoil of the M1 garand 30-06 so she primarily liked using the grease gun or Thompson but they were harder to come by, and her being a nurse she wasn't issued any standard service weapon. She passed away from cancer last year, she loved watching Jockos podcasts! I tried getting her to go on some podcast and jockos before she passed but nothing ever came of it. I rlly wish she could have gotten a chance to tell some of her war stories.

    This is my favorite podcast I have listened to - I was in Vietnam in 1971, just a perimeter guard at TSN, USAF SPS. When I was there, and at Ubon RTAB in 1973, I knew about the CIA in Laos and Cambodia but I never heard anything about the Seals or the Seawolf pilots. Really entertaining for me - I am retired now on Jomtien beach Thailand.

    My older brother Terry Maples enlisted in the Navy during the Vietnam War. We were relieved that he wasn't drafted by the Marines. My dad was on an LST duringWWII and was in harms way. I remember my dad telling me during a beach landing he was thankful he was not a Marine. When we found out Terry volunteered for the Seawolves we were again worried. He served on helicopter 306. I'm 12 years younger than my brother Terry and I followed every story when he returned after the War. I'm glad they are finally receiving recognition. ❤ I didn't followed in my brother and father's footsteps and enlisted in the Army. I've always been a black sheep.🤣

It's nice to learn from men like this without having to hear a bunch of F bombs. I think the stories these men have to tell are made all the more compelling by the fact that they are so articulate. It's nice being able to recommend a podcast to my sons knowing that they will be listening to both warriors and gentlemen.
