On Ask Win today (Friday, April 6, 2018), Best-Selling Author, Win C welcomes Steven Bredenkoetter. Steven was born December 7th, 1978 in St. Louis, Missouri. His mother, Peggy, was an office worker and a homemaker, and his father, Bill, worked for a grocery store chain, starting off as a bag boy, and ultimately retiring as senior vice-president of store operations. He has two brothers, Bill and David. Steve entered the military in December 2000. Despite his father’s attempts to talk him into joining the Navy, he instead chose to join the Marine Corps, stating, “If it’s the hardest, why not just start there?” His first deployment was as an infantryman with 2/2 Golf Company. Years later, Steve would still speak of this time here fondly and count himself lucky for the experience. Serving as the platoon radio operator, he valued the time he was able to spend in close proximity to excellent leaders, and he valued the friendships he was able to cultivate while traveling across three continents. The experience of speaking, working, and living with men from a wide variety of social, ethnic, and educational backgrounds continues to influence his approach to personal and business interactions to this day. Upon returning from the initial assault into Iraq in 2003, Steve decided to advance his military career by joining the Force Reconnaissance community. The journey was far from easy. It fact, it was far beyond difficult. But, to hear him tell it, the reward of being in a community of extremely capable men, doing an extremely difficult job, was well worth the effort spent. His second deployment to Iraq was as a reconnaissance marine with 2nd Force Reconnaissance Co. Over the course of seven months, his platoon would execute over ninety missions, clearing and securing over six hundred objectives. It was an exhausting time for him, both physically and mentally, but his experiences there would be invaluable in defining the shape of the man that he would strive to be later in life. Steve would eventually go on to attend the first assessment and selection class for Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC). Of the fifty-two candidates who arrived, he would emerge from the two-week vetting as the only one to successfully pass, earning his place in MARSOC. After exiting the military in 2013, Steve would spend most of the next five years deployed as a civilian to one austere environment or another, while also founding and growing his own document editing company, Polished Paper.
