Listen along as I had the honor welcoming ICSA Ryan Darrah onto the LONGSHOT platform. I have been wanting to talk to a sailor that is newer in the Navy, and get their viewpoint about their time in service, as well as what their experience has been like. We discuss how Navy Bootcamp has changed, the training pipeline for the IC rating, and how he gets the most out of life! Enjoy!

Listen along as we welcome Retired Chief Navy Diver and the author of Fouled Anchor to LONGSHOT. We discussed what inspired him to pursue Navy Diver, the impact off the USS Cole attack on his 5th Fleet deployment, his time with Seal Team 4, his inspiration to write Fouled Anchor, and much more. Enjoy.
