Big Eddie was an amazing Platoon Sergeant. He really valued our mission and constantly rewarded us for our accomplishments. Mortar privates who had been awarded the EIB were give ops-cores prior to line companies receiving them. Got us manifested to go up to Alaska for Northern Warfare training, and ensured that we were on the chalk to receive British Jump wings. MSGT Edwards even sent me to Air Assault as a consolation after my school slot was pulled away for an officer. Edwards is truly a legend among men - we worked hard and played hard. Pretty sure we shot more rounds as a platoon in one range day then some Big Army Divisions get in a year. Everything from unknown distant ruck marches to cross training made us marketable and tough - it gave us opportunities with the line teams we supported when 60mm were not needed.
Team House has inspired me to join the U.S. military. I plan on enlisting (hopefully to join the Rangers) after I complete my undergrad degree in the spring. Thank you Jack, Dave, and all of your guests. You all exemplify what young American men should strive to be. Thank you for your service and for being a guiding beacon for many young American men without one.
Hey man, Make sure you really look into your options with respect to joining up. Enlisted versus officer; and Active duty versus national guard. Also, look into what everyone is doing. I am sure that like the 1980’s there are “things” going on worldwide. You just need to figure out in general what’s going on and who’s doing it.
Dude… 5 years ago I probably would have 100% agreed, given you some advice, and wished you luck. The army these guys are talking about is gone, those days are gone, it is NOT what it once was. On top of that I’m sure you’re at least seeing a little of what’s going on out there right now, things are BAD. We’re likely to be fighting near-peer adversaries in the next few years, you won’t be fighting the way you hear about in these interviews, you’ll be on the ground, hiding anywhere you can from the FPV drones with HE warheads, or from the drones that drop grenades on you and your buddies from hundreds of feet up, or you’ll be spending weeks underground and in the trenches cowering under artillery barrage after artillery barrage. It isn’t the “cool” stuff that we used to do back in the day, ask some other guys who fought in GWOT then gone over to fight in Ukraine… it’s horrific. I’m not necessarily trying to talk you out of it, I’m just an old GWOT vet on the internet, but PLEASE think long and hard about what I’m saying. If things go the way they look like they might, we’re going to need guys like you here in the US instead of you being churned into the earth in some garbage strewn woodline in Zveztysvestochkya
Listen to everyone but don’t let anyone stop you from doing what you want. Everyone told me not to go into law enforcement, that it’s a terrible time for that, but I’m here now and I’m loving the job. I can’t speak for military but you’ve gotta do what you want.
Commission or go warrant, don't enlist with a degree unless you're a complete savage with pt and want to do the job more than you've wanted anything else in life. This isn't 2007 peak GWOT and if you don't make it, find soldiering isn't for you or get rfs'd a few months later(which is pretty common) you will hate life in the conventional Army. There's cool guy opportunities on the officer side if you do love soldiering and are good at it. Good luck!
Never been more proud of my good friend. Went to high school together, in the army together, still great friends today! Mike AKA Rambo (or Magnum 😂😂) is a true warrior and hero!
Awesome show boys. I’m a Marine Infantrymen. 3/3 and 1/3 in Afghanistan o4-06. In A Bad and Camp Blessing all over the Korengal valley. Ran ASF platoon. Now I’m a Gulf Shores AL Firefighter. Let Mike Edwards know to come the station anytime to hangout or train. Semper Fi
Everyone deserves someone to look at them the way Dave looks at Adam 😊 02:17:00 Good friends are priceless. Love is priceless. Thanks for the reminder, gents.
Set is looking great, btw. I have a small gift for your studio if you ever get a P.O. Box. I promise you it’s brand new, luxurious, valuable, G-rated, and around the size of a deck of cards.
Great interview building upon the previous interviews with Mike Edwards. It was great to hear about his post service work and his insights and observations of the illegal immigration and trafficking activity that the border. His comments about the Afghan RRC equiv not being allowed entry into the US and the fact that the State Department flew out Taliban during the evacuation of Bagram and Kabul airports is blood boiling. I am surprised that he was not more angry and critical of the current regime in DC. Until more veterans call out these crimes and failed policies putting America at risk the public will not wake up. The HAMAS and Hezbollah terrorist cell risk is real here in the US and has been building for the last decade.
I can relate so much to what Brother Mike is saying! From the low points, to the Lord moving in my life and helping me rid myself of anger. We're a work in progress, and proper nutrition with mushrooms has also helped. This was an amazing podcast gentleman, keep up the good work!
As a former Ranger Mortar member in 3rd Ranger Bat it did suck. We did dominate when it came to cross training. And even more when I was in the 509. 11C's were trainable.
Me and Mike were at Casey at the same time, I got my Manchu belt buckle, I was in the field supporting hovey for their field rotation when the towers were hit, I was a Delta 2-9 Inf Fister!!
I ought to be in communication with this guest. For those that listen to this interview with misgivings or doubt, examine the things spoken about. Consider how, why and what missions are designed to do. We are blessed as citizens of the U.S.
Adam! Funny enough I spoke to Adam like a year and a half ago regarding CI and what it entails. During our talk he said "yeah dude, I'm talking with Mike Edwards right after this!" He told me later on, "that dude's spooky as fuck!"
4 former-military dudes in one room, and no one knows what a vodka+Gatorade is called? C'mon guys, i know you're better than this. i learned of that magical elixir on a summer trip to Pensacola in '94 (at an admittedly too young an age)... It's called Faderade, because (duhhh) it gets you faded. At any rate, awesome to see Mike back for his threepeat appearance, and the bonus Adam White cameo at the end was appreciated.
That mix goes back to the introduction of Gatorade. It's had thousands of names. Getting 'faded' was a very area specific term. Never heard it used before.
"My hair is holy. I grow it long for the God." Euripides, The Bacchae Good to see fellow long hair (and it's much longer than last time he was on) Mr. Edwards back. I see you keep twisting your neck around, C5-6 herniations here. You seem less foggy than you were before and it sounds like from you opening up on here that you made it thru that terrrible time. Im so glad the 5MEO- DMT worked for you. And that DJ Shipley interview low key saved my life, so i really appreciate you being open and honest about your struggles, it means the world to hear from dudes like you. Stay posi, dude. Jack/Dave: do you sweat like women in his presence bc he is such a handsome dude? It really isn't fair to the rest of us, LOL.
When I finished Airborne School, I was still 17. Went to the exchange to get a few items for my packing list for RASP. Tried to buy a small folding knife for the packing list. The dude working asked for my ID. I gave him my CAC, he flipped it over, handed it back, and said "Come back when you're an adult." Talk about a shitty feeling.
I’m from Alabama, and some of the kids that attend the high school part of Marion Military Institute were disciplinary cases to say the least. One kid on the basketball team said he was there for burning down his house. I think the guys at the Junior College like Mike chose to be there so they’re not the troubled type.
Love to See books about Recce who did Recce with RRC can’t find any books out there. Read about Force Recon in Vietnam , Seals , Army Special Forces, Rangers . Nothing on RRC operators for books .
I saw an interview with his wife (very anointed and pretty lady). He also has a young one at home that I hope he spends time with to bring him down to earth after his high stress career. Nothing like a little kid to take you back to reality.
I was taught that the divet in the bolt carrier group served as a forward assist. You were supposed to use your thumb or forefinger to push the bolt into battery, and hopefully not get burned 😊
When you concede that we have a criminal government, not a competent government, everything they do makes sense. It’s not right, but it can be understood.

Dude, I became religious exactly the same way, except before joining. I was an agnostic and did shrooms, acid, and mescaline and then was open to religion! This is the 1st time I have heard a path like mine. I showed-up at basic in the 80s with all these religious books and Nam books. Was embarrassing, but I think the drills appreciated the Nam books. LMAO Most of them were there. Rumor was one drill beheaded a guy with a machete. I never went to combat sadly and it still pisses me off. Biggest regret of my life.
Miles Garandthumb... pretty sure he wouldn't wake up for his 20 minute night watch shift in our patrol base in Ranger School. He was hard as F to wake up and get to stay awake for his shift. Didn't he wear those Ranger goggles as well ? Always tried to be a comedian from what i remember. Also, the dude you accidentally shot got treated in the little Ranger clinic at Benning by the Regimental Surgeon there... That would have been 2004. i was a medic at the clinic there at the time in the famous "Medic Hold" waiting for a SOCM class. I remember the flesh over his shoulder blade was just nasty looking ... just splayed open. That dude was inches away from death. Maybe even just one inch. Would have likely taken out both lungs and maybe even his heart. Went to Ranger School while waiting for a slot at the SOCM course because i had the highest PT score out of the 40-50 some Ranger Medics waiting to go to that school. (My mom died of a sudden heart attack after i had just really started the Florida phase. Got pulled aside for a "Red Cross Message" as i ran to the plane to jump into the field problem there). When i got back, 3 of us who graduated Ranger School even helped teach a class of then RRD guys who were going to a CIA/FBI medic class. The 3 of us who got tabbed helped run the RRD guys through about a week prep course. Can't remember the name of the course but even if i could i wouldn't put it in here because it was very "controversial". There was already one "Conklin" ? in RRD and another one had just passed the try out. He was a medic as well and helped with the class too i believe. There was a third "little Conklin brother" too as i remember that was in Regiment. Pretty sure the oldest brother got injured on the initial jump into Enduring F. and because of that, his father was inspired to start "Sentinels of Freedom". I literally drove from Savannah to Benning to meet with that guy at Regimental HQ just after i was medically retired due to getting shot a couple times on Christmas day, 2005. He had a couple officers present while he gave his "shpill" about Sentinels. He was more or less talking to them about his program and at the conclusion, he shook my hand, gave me a coin that said, "Never Forsaken" and then, a few weeks later, he called me and said they couldn't help me because i wanted to get a masters degree and become a PA and not just get a bachelors degree. lol At the time i was pretty disappointed and a little pissed that i even drove down there. At any rate, i listened to one of the other Edwards interviews you guys did and it was really good. Pretty sure his wife made an appearance on that one too near the end. Good shit. RLTW.
@@SuperMulletguy No i'm out in Utah now, frolicking in the "High Desert". Do a lot of long range shooting as a hobby now and hiking in the mountains. Out of boredom i may start elk hunting next hunting season. I've hit a soda can in 3 shots at 1,006 yards using an educated guess on my DOPE for the first shot and the following week, hit one at 1,380 yards. I enjoy it and i've done a LOT of it the last three years but i'm honestly starting to get a little bored with it. I almost got into PRS but now i'm not sure i'd enjoy it as much as i thought i would and it's real F'ing expensive and time consuming...lol I'm not real sure who you are but you could always drop a hint or an email ? Up to you man. Either way, God bless.
One time a chute threatened not to open on Mike during jump. Mid jump Mike took out his knife and threatened the chute back and it opened right the f#ak up.
Just to add to Mike’s take on helping out the guys in the mortar sections and sending them to the SF Sniper Course - these guys, ultimately, wanna be pulling triggers - that’s every infantryman’s wet dream. The grunts don’t *always* need mortars to be lobbing sh*t down range. How perfect is it, during those in between moments, to have mortar sections that can double as DM’s when indirect fire’s been called off - even if just at a more basic level, with one 5.56 (or maybe even now 6.5) DMR/SPR per mortar team? 18-20 year olds are loaded with testosterone and a drive to be useful - give ‘em something to do during the in betweens! I’m sure the guys closing in to destroy wouldn’t mind the extra lead!
To the subject of M67 vs Russian hand grenades effectiveness. I’ve seen a lot of video from Ukraine of drone dropped hand grenades. From my observation the M67 has higher effect on target than the Russian F1/EGD5.
Guys, under US Immigration law, any person arriving at the US border or US territory and requests asylum must be processed, they cannot just automatically deport Afghan Special Ops soldiers if they request asylum, they have a right to a asylum interview, etc...

Hey guys I have been listening on Spotify for a while now but have noticed that almost all of your episodes have a really low volume capability. I have it cranked up in the car or in headphones and it is still really low. I've had to stop listening while driving at work and that's not cool. Any thoughts why it's such an issue for me??
@@dave_parkeJust need to have your audio guy bounce the final stereo track at an increased volume on the master fader. Maybe even strap a limiter over the master buss. I don't know if the algorithms on each different platform mess with the volume based on their specs, but that might make it more of a PITA to keep it uniform across platforms.
Remind me why we were in Iraq? Why Tom Green’s request to kill UBL was turned down twice in early 2000s? Why were we there 20 years with millions of deaths? Why 15 hijackers were Saudis and we didn’t attack Saudi Arabia? Thank you to the young men who served without any critical thinking and went into danger, not for America and the constitution, but for the politicians and the government.
Jack, thank you for speaking on that blunder by the White House posting pics of our special operators in Israel to Instagram. Reminds me of when you know who outed Devgru after Neptune Spear. Why can’t this administration understand opsec? Very frustrating and quite maddening, like our boys aren’t in enough danger as it is, the WH doesn’t have to add to it! Ugh
We have not fought a true army since WW2. Russia, China has trained operators that understand things like points of transition, 50% security. Have all the support the we have like planes, boats and medevacs. They train like beast and only with live ammo. All these tribal Afghans we fought were just numbers with no support. We are not that thought. We are going to have to fight real killers in the future.
You were trained to be the best at putting force on force and come out the winner, then you're thrown into a country that is saturated with evil , after a while that evil spirit gets into you and when you come back home to a nonviolent atmosphere, you haven't been trained to deal with it.
when you have hiked the PCT or other long trails...you get humbled by how many not in shape looking people are capable of doing 30 mile days with a pretty full pack...every day... for 2 months. It takes about 2-3 weeks to adapt to it but I have seen fat as-f people get to those distances in the first 200 miles.
Ayahuasca is a South American psychoactive brew, traditionally used by Indigenous cultures and folk healers in the Amazon and Orinoco basins for spiritual ceremonies, divination, and healing a variety of psychosomatic complaints. Originally restricted to areas of Peru, Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador, in the middle of the 20th century it became widespread in Brazil in the context of the appearance of syncretic religions that use ayahuasca as a sacrament, like Santo Daime, União do Vegetal and Barquinha, which blend elements of Amazonian Shamanism, Christianity, Kardecist Spiritism, and African-Brazilian religions. It's demonic

Big Eddie was an amazing Platoon Sergeant. He really valued our mission and constantly rewarded us for our accomplishments. Mortar privates who had been awarded the EIB were give ops-cores prior to line companies receiving them. Got us manifested to go up to Alaska for Northern Warfare training, and ensured that we were on the chalk to receive British Jump wings.

Pretty sure we shot more rounds as a platoon in one range day then some Big Army Divisions get in a year. Everything from unknown distant ruck marches to cross training made us marketable and tough - it gave us opportunities with the line teams we supported when 60mm were not needed.

Hey man,
Make sure you really look into your options with respect to joining up.
Enlisted versus officer; and
Active duty versus national guard.
Also, look into what everyone is doing. I am sure that like the 1980’s there are “things” going on worldwide. You just need to figure out in general what’s going on and who’s doing it.
Dude… 5 years ago I probably would have 100% agreed, given you some advice, and wished you luck. The army these guys are talking about is gone, those days are gone, it is NOT what it once was. On top of that I’m sure you’re at least seeing a little of what’s going on out there right now, things are BAD.

It isn’t the “cool” stuff that we used to do back in the day, ask some other guys who fought in GWOT then gone over to fight in Ukraine… it’s horrific.
I’m not necessarily trying to talk you out of it, I’m just an old GWOT vet on the internet, but PLEASE think long and hard about what I’m saying. If things go the way they look like they might, we’re going to need guys like you here in the US instead of you being churned into the earth in some garbage strewn woodline in Zveztysvestochkya
Good luck man, I’d really consider commissioning though if you are already gonna have a degree.
Listen to everyone but don’t let anyone stop you from doing what you want. Everyone told me not to go into law enforcement, that it’s a terrible time for that, but I’m here now and I’m loving the job. I can’t speak for military but you’ve gotta do what you want.
Commission or go warrant, don't enlist with a degree unless you're a complete savage with pt and want to do the job more than you've wanted anything else in life. This isn't 2007 peak GWOT and if you don't make it, find soldiering isn't for you or get rfs'd a few months later(which is pretty common) you will hate life in the conventional Army. There's cool guy opportunities on the officer side if you do love soldiering and are good at it. Good luck!

Same here , hopefully run into him I am always around Foley and Gulf Shores area.

There was a third "little Conklin brother" too as i remember that was in Regiment. Pretty sure the oldest brother got injured on the initial jump into Enduring F. and because of that, his father was inspired to start "Sentinels of Freedom". I literally drove from Savannah to Benning to meet with that guy at Regimental HQ just after i was medically retired due to getting shot a couple times on Christmas day, 2005. He had a couple officers present while he gave his "shpill" about Sentinels. He was more or less talking to them about his program and at the conclusion, he shook my hand, gave me a coin that said, "Never Forsaken" and then, a few weeks later, he called me and said they couldn't help me because i wanted to get a masters degree and become a PA and not just get a bachelors degree. lol At the time i was pretty disappointed and a little pissed that i even drove down there.
At any rate, i listened to one of the other Edwards interviews you guys did and it was really good. Pretty sure his wife made an appearance on that one too near the end. Good shit. RLTW.
Matt- I’d love to catch up with you and see how you’re doing- Still in Savannah? PT
@@SuperMulletguy No i'm out in Utah now, frolicking in the "High Desert". Do a lot of long range shooting as a hobby now and hiking in the mountains. Out of boredom i may start elk hunting next hunting season. I've hit a soda can in 3 shots at 1,006 yards using an educated guess on my DOPE for the first shot and the following week, hit one at 1,380 yards. I enjoy it and i've done a LOT of it the last three years but i'm honestly starting to get a little bored with it. I almost got into PRS but now i'm not sure i'd enjoy it as much as i thought i would and it's real F'ing expensive and time consuming...lol
I'm not real sure who you are but you could always drop a hint or an email ? Up to you man. Either way, God bless.
@@rascalmatt6713 I was your PT at 1/75
@@rascalmatt6713 glad to hear that you're doing some LR shooting. I'm still having trouble getting an adequate zero at 100yds!

Look into getting Eugene (Chip) Tatum. Former Agency Guy Vietnam Vet. He's worked with the Clinton's and Pilot for Henry Kissinger
Would be cool to sit in a Bible study with Mike.
One time a chute threatened not to open on Mike during jump. Mid jump Mike took out his knife and threatened the chute back and it opened right the f#ak up.
How did Mike drop the Bama Accent?
At 1:15 is this true?
Just to add to Mike’s take on helping out the guys in the mortar sections and sending them to the SF Sniper Course - these guys, ultimately, wanna be pulling triggers - that’s every infantryman’s wet dream. The grunts don’t *always* need mortars to be lobbing sh*t down range. How perfect is it, during those in between moments, to have mortar sections that can double as DM’s when indirect fire’s been called off - even if just at a more basic level, with one 5.56 (or maybe even now 6.5) DMR/SPR per mortar team? 18-20 year olds are loaded with testosterone and a drive to be useful - give ‘em something to do during the in betweens! I’m sure the guys closing in to destroy wouldn’t mind the extra lead!
Nvm… Mike already had it covered… Good man!
👍
To the subject of M67 vs Russian hand grenades effectiveness. I’ve seen a lot of video from Ukraine of drone dropped hand grenades. From my observation the M67 has higher effect on target than the Russian F1/EGD5.

Can officers try out for RRC?
No they can’t. All operators are enlisted.
Did the bloke with the Long hair Mike? Did he end up being an Actor???
Finally, chucks get some love.

Guys, under US Immigration law, any person arriving at the US border or US territory and requests asylum must be processed, they cannot just automatically deport Afghan Special Ops soldiers if they request asylum, they have a right to a asylum interview, etc...
That’s what I’ve been told. Maybe it was not accurate but it happened to several guys that I know of for sure.
Since 13 May 23, people arriving at the southwest border are presumed to be ineligible for asylum unless they can demonstrate that they are.
Yeah, cause immigration always follows the rules.
They should be sent back
I read the Bible by myself. I took everything the church was preaching and realized everything they teach was opposite of the Bible and what it teaches
You are right about that brother.
That background noise almost kills this interview.
We have a church above us. They aren’t supposed to do services on Fridays but they decided to that night and we couldn’t do anything about it.
@@dave_parke oh that sucks. great interview
Hey guys I have been listening on Spotify for a while now but have noticed that almost all of your episodes have a really low volume capability. I have it cranked up in the car or in headphones and it is still really low. I've had to stop listening while driving at work and that's not cool. Any thoughts why it's such an issue for me??
Not sure but we’ll take a look at it and see if we can figure it out.
@@dave_parkeJust need to have your audio guy bounce the final stereo track at an increased volume on the master fader. Maybe even strap a limiter over the master buss. I don't know if the algorithms on each different platform mess with the volume based on their specs, but that might make it more of a PITA to keep it uniform across platforms.
I've been listening to the last two new episodes and it's way louder!!! I love what y'all are doing... keep going!!! Thanks so much 👍
Remind me why we were in Iraq? Why Tom Green’s request to kill UBL was turned down twice in early 2000s? Why were we there 20 years with millions of deaths? Why 15 hijackers were Saudis and we didn’t attack Saudi Arabia?
Thank you to the young men who served without any critical thinking and went into danger, not for America and the constitution, but for the politicians and the government.
Jack, thank you for speaking on that blunder by the White House posting pics of our special operators in Israel to Instagram. Reminds me of when you know who outed Devgru after Neptune Spear. Why can’t this administration understand opsec? Very frustrating and quite maddening, like our boys aren’t in enough danger as it is, the WH doesn’t have to add to it! Ugh
Posting pics to Instagram is several levels worse than saying something.
The WH might as well have put a target on their backs and and disclosed their home addresses etc, bcuz that’s basically what they did
It’s cause they have no respect for the military and only see service members as expendable pawns.
I've never had PTSD...I've had a pistol to my head taking the slack out.... might want to rethink that first statement brother
Why did Pakistan send drone support for the Tban?
bc the Taliban is a wing of Pakistan's ISI
Because the Pakistani government created the Taliban
Thank you for putting the smack down for America. Without people like you we would already be speaking Arabic
How would we be speaking Arabic exactly?
We have not fought a true army since WW2. Russia, China has trained operators that understand things like points of transition, 50% security. Have all the support the we have like planes, boats and medevacs. They train like beast and only with live ammo. All these tribal Afghans we fought were just numbers with no support. We are not that thought. We are going to have to fight real killers in the future.
Mike, consider contacting Eli Crane, former SEAL and now an AZ Congressman. He did not drink the Kool-aid of DC.
1:23 says a lot about
This is the JSOC Jesus
He’s very respectful dude.
I’m not putting down any of the religious inside of the U.S.
Shame about the background noise 😳😳😳
Jesus guys, pre-record ads and clip them in later
You were trained to be the best at putting force on force and come out the winner, then you're thrown into a country that is saturated with evil , after a while that evil spirit gets into you and when you come back home to a nonviolent atmosphere, you haven't been trained to deal with it.
when you have hiked the PCT or other long trails...you get humbled by how many not in shape looking people are capable of doing 30 mile days with a pretty full pack...every day... for 2 months. It takes about 2-3 weeks to adapt to it but I have seen fat as-f people get to those distances in the first 200 miles.

Ayahuasca is a South American psychoactive brew, traditionally used by Indigenous cultures and folk healers in the Amazon and Orinoco basins for spiritual ceremonies, divination, and healing a variety of psychosomatic complaints. Originally restricted to areas of Peru, Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador, in the middle of the 20th century it became widespread in Brazil in the context of the appearance of syncretic religions that use ayahuasca as a sacrament, like Santo Daime, União do Vegetal and Barquinha, which blend elements of Amazonian Shamanism, Christianity, Kardecist Spiritism, and African-Brazilian religions.
It's demonic
