Listen Later

In this deeply personal episode of The Spotlight, Cobra shares his journey from UK policing and counter-terrorism intelligence work to life after service.

Having been deployed to major national incidents including London Bridge, Manchester Arena, and Reading, Cobra opens up about:

• The realities of elite policing
• The cumulative impact of trauma
• Retiring due to PTSD
• Redefining identity after the uniform
• How gaming and content creation became part of rebuilding

This conversation goes far beyond DayZ.

It’s about service, resilience, and rebuilding after operational trauma.
