Pat McNamara served 22 years in U.S. Army Special Operations, 13 of those years were with 1st SFOD-D. Pat has extensive experience in combat zones in Eastern Europe and the Middle East and during his time in Special Operations, he became an elite marksman and would later serve as his Unit's Marksmanship NCO eventually retiring from the Army’s premier hostage rescue unit as a Sergeant Major. Pat is now the CEO of TMACS a Performance-Based Training company that teaches individuals how to excel in everything from Tactics and Marksmanship through to Security. He is also the author of the two books, "T.A.P.S Tactical Application of Practical Shooting" as well as "Sentinel: Become the Agent in Charge of Your Own Protection Detail," a book that teaches survival techniques for protecting your family.

In this episode, Pat and I discuss his time serving in SFOD-D, the US Army's Tier One Special Operations unit, and the time he spent in Eastern Europe during the Cold War setting up spy networks, including infiltrating communist East Germany under diplomatic cover to collect intelligence on the Soviet and East German militaries.

Pat and I also explore his difficult journey transitioning out of Special Operations and into civilian life, and the challenging period he faced raising young children in an extremely problematic marriage, as well as an unlikely visit from an owl (yes, the bird) that helped him overcome his downward spiral and fostered his growth as one of the most positive and highly motivated individuals you will ever meet.

In November 2009, Harrison consecutively struck two Taliban machine gunners south of Musa Qala in Helmand Province in Afghanistan at a range of 2,475 m (2,707 yd) using a L115A3 Long Range Rifle. In a BBC interview, Harrison reported it took about nine shots for him and his spotter to range the target, using a bracketing technique. Then, he reported, his first shot "on target" was a killing shot followed consecutively by a kill shot on a second machine gunner. The bodies were later found by Afghan National Police looking to retrieve the weapon (which had already been removed). The first Taliban was shot in the gut and the other through the side. Later in the day an Apache helicopter hovered over the firing position, using its laser range finder to measure the distance to the machine-gun position, confirming it.

After returning from Afghanistan in 2009 he developed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and was discharged from the army in 2014. He has stated since that:

"I joined when I was 16 and since all of this has happened I felt abandoned, absolutely abandoned by my regiment. ... I spent 22 years loyal to that regiment, putting my life on the line doing tours, and they just hung me out to dry. My trust in people, the armed forces – it's gone."

Harrison has written The Longest Kill, about his life and career as a sniper.

In this episode we welcome Nick Aicardi of Hard to Kill Podcast.. A group of veterans that want to tell their stories, talk shop, address current events and help shine a light on the mental health issues that are affecting our armed forces and veterans across the world. Hopefully threw communication and teamwork we can find new ways to treat things like: PTSD, TBI, anxiety, depression and much more. Semper Fidelis

Command Sgt. Major (ret.) Tom Satterly served in the Army for 25 years, 20 of those years were spent in the military’s most secretive and elite Special Operations unit, Delta Force. As an Operator and CSM, Tom fought in and lead countless high profile military missions including Operation Red Dawn (Saddam Hussein’s capture) and the Battle of Mogadishu (Black Hawk Down) which was the longest sustained firefight since Vietnam. That 18-hour firefight ended with Tom, along with several of his team mates, running the Mogadishu Mile to safety.

Tom is on his most important mission to date with his wife and partner, Jen. Together, they are co-Founders and co-CEOs of All Secure Foundation, a non-profit organization serving Special Operation warriors and their families reconnect and heal on the homefront. Their organization has been recognized as a top rated non profit by Great Nonprofits and has grown to serve thousands of combat families.

Tom’s best-selling book, “All Secure: A Special Operations Soldier’s Fight to Survive on the Battlefield and the Homefront”, was released on November 5, 2019 is available at https://allsecurefoundation.org/shop/all-secure-a-special-operations-soldiers-fight-to-survive-on-the-battlefield/

Jen Satterly was an award-winning filmmaker and photographer for 15 years, spending the last three years as Director of Film and Photography of an elite Special Operations training company fully embedded with Navy SEALS, Green Berets, and Army Rangers in large-scale realistic training missions.

During her time embedding with Special Operations warriors, Jen began to see a pattern with the soldiers, sailors, and airmen she worked alongside, some of the very same issues her husband, retired Command Sgt. Major Tom Satterly, was also facing with complex Post-Traumatic Stress. She began searching for answers to help them find a way to constructively deal with PTS and its symptoms which included isolation, anxiety, severe depression, anger issues and a long list of medical challenges. Jen made it her mission to not only help the service member but also the families who often suffer from secondary PTS and are innocent causalities of the longest war.

Passionate about helping warriors and their families heal, Jen stepped out from behind the camera and became a certified health and wellness coach to better understand the biology of PTS. Alongside her husband, Tom, they co-Founded All Secure Foundation and serve as co-CEOs. Their organization has been recognized as a top rated non profit by Great Nonprofits and has grown to serve thousands of combat families.

Tim understands and has seen the sacrifice required by both the service member and their families to keep the American dream a reality.

Cody Alford’s 15 year career in the U.S. Marines (Scout sniper & Raider) began in the early days of the Iraq war and the bloodiest battle - Fallujah

Cody Alford served assignments with 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines (2/1) STA, 1st Force Reconnaissance, and all three Marine Raider (MARSOC) battalions.

Marine Scout Snipers must become proficient in all manners of combat. Those who attempt the Scout Sniper Basic Course are called PIGs, or Professionally Instructed Gunmen, and those who have what it takes to make it through the brutal training and graduate earn the elite moniker “HOG,” or Hunter of Gunmen.

After retiring from the military, Cody’s wife asked him: “What would you do if you only had 6 weeks to live?” Cody wanted to travel and take photographs….so that is what they did for the next few years. They sold everything they owned, bought a van and became nomads, enjoying life to the fullest.

Today, Cody is the founder & CEO of We Defy The Norm apparel company (wedefythenorm.com). Cody can be found on Instagram @wedefythenorm and @thecodyalford. He also has a YouTube channel where he uploads raw and uncut videos discussing everything from his military experience, dealing with PTSD, and living a purpose driven life.

Patriot Force https://patriotforceusa.com/products/cody-alford-patriot-force-action-figure-wave-4 has also made a limited edition action figure of Cody.

The goal of the Patriot Force is to give back to non-profit veteran organizations by creating and selling action figures of real American veterans and Presidents. Every figure is custom painted/molded by a 16 year old who has taken an interest in the military. 25% of the profit from every veteran figure sold is donated.

The figure is 3.75” on a 6”x9” card backer. All figures are customized, so variances will occur in paint, gear and rifle style. Minor blemishes might be noticeable. Figures are meant to be a display piece and not taken out of package.

Cody is part of the Wave 4 release. There are two versions available. A Regular Edition and a version with the Marine Raider logo painted on the front. The base figures we use to customize, have a limited number of plate carriers that have space for this logo. Due to the limited quantity, there is an additional fee to receive a figure with this body style and logo.

25% of the profit is donated to VETS.

VETS was created three decades ago to serve all veterans. VETS offers a wide variety of services for all veterans. Their special focus is to support and provide resources for veterans in business or those who want to be involved as founders and leaders in for-profit commerce.

Dave Radband is a former British Para who served as part of the UK Special Forces Support Group on many operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, including the infamous Op Larchwood 4.. an operation launched by B squadron of the British 22nd Special Air Service Regiment supported by SFSG and US forces to attack an Al-Qaeda-occupied farmhouse in Yusufiyah, Baghdad Governorate, Iraq. The raid was a major success, as a result of which intelligence was gathered which led to the finding and killing of Al Qaeda in Iraq's leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

The war on terror and multi deployments took is toll on the body and mind of this Warfighter..

"I returned from war, I started to feel tired. It was this unending languor, clouding my emotions, hiding my motivation and affecting my concentration. I felt permanently hungover. At the same time, I started to become uneasy; anxiety and panic became the norm.

It’s 2011, Ive been blown up for my 5th time. On returning from that mission I remember panicking, hidden away from the lads. I realised that I had perfected the art of hiding, concealing, and building the perfect front. As a male, an elite soldier, I felt vulnerability wasn’t an option for me.

I returned to the UK, alcohol become my medication. I could only talk about the darkness when I was drunk and refused to think about it when I was sober. I thought the darkness would pass. I was also too embarrassed to talk about my dark emotion. I never dared to tell my brothers; it made me feel uncomfortable. Besides, I was a solider in one of the most elite units in the world; to me, weakness was prey.

So, for the boys who are afraid to embrace emotion and for the boys who feel with no tears, let’s rid the fear of talking. For the men who feel silenced and for those who have already succumbed to their darkness, let’s discuss the importance of sharing emotion.

Let’s just talk. To speak of pain is to overcome struggle, and to advocate the truths of those still excludes by the screaming mask. It’s this open and honest dialogue that is helping so many. It’s helping me.

As someone who’s tried to kill himself, I’ve come to realise the importance of emotional vulnerability within such a hyper-masculine culture that prides itself on strength and invincibility. Let’s ask boys and men alike how they are feeling, behind the performance. There is strength in susceptibility, too.

No one deserves a black cloud"
