    New here. Always been a Yak fan but really enjoy Chaps guest appearances on Macrodosing. This made me extremely emotionally. I watched Generation Kill on a whim. Knowing Chaps went through this and he still maintains true character is amazing. New but HUGE fan. Great episode

    My career as a Military Working Dog handler was so NOT this. But it could have been. I am eternally thankful and also a little ashamed that it wasn't. Chaps is K-9 to the bone!

    A couple weeks behind, but I am glad this video came across my feed. Chaps after knowing you at two duty stations, you are a great man. You always did great things. I remember having these conversations with you about a lot of this stuff, including the one you can not stand. You and your cohost are top-notch. You all have my utmost respect and admiration.

    Insane amount of respect to Chaps first of all. Kate did a hell of a job this episode also, big Kate fan, she just seems like a great person and friend, love her on the Yak too (she gets undeserved hate by losers in chat). Can’t stand Cons, and he makes this podcast tough to listen to, but because the other two are so great, I listen. Happy Alive Day, Chaps. 🫡

    • @ZeroBlogThirty
      @ZeroBlogThirty  Місяць тому +11

      Once I left Okinawa, my dog had to stay there. He was picked up by a different handler and went to Iraq again and then Afghanistan. About six years ago, Csika died from cancer at the age of 11. I trained hundreds of dogs over my career and Csika was the best I was ever around. Legendary
