Special Missions Unit Operator Bob Keller has a career that is  nothing short of legendary. In before 9/11, he got out before the Global War On Terror kicked off and knew he had to get back in and get after it.

He has continued to serve his fellow special operators, law enforcement and civilians that want to train in combat tactics at his new passion, Gamut Resolutions. Gamut Resolutions is one of the top names in shooting and tactics training, conducting nationwide year-round training classes. 

Bob is one of the legends in the special operations community and we can't say thank you enough for sitting down and sharing his considerable knowledge and experience with all our listeners.

MSgt (ret) Phil "PIMP" Freeman had a historic career in Combat Control, and he was gracious enough to sit down with Chief Peaches and Trent and walk us through it. Phil was instrumental in the hunting of war criminals in Europe and his contributions to the Weapons School have been immeasurable. 

From his experiences in the pipeline to his experience with the Fulton recovery system, to Desert Storm, his time overseas in Bosnia- just an unbelievably exciting story of his life in Air Force Special Tactics and how diverse it can be, no matter what the career field. 

Thanks to PIMP for coming on and sharing his amazing history and showing us just how rich and varied our culture is- we can't wait to have him on again!

Your journey into Air Force Special Warfare can't begin until you talk to a Special Warfare recruiter- so we brought on one of the best, TSgt Richard Walkowiak, aka TSgt Waka. 

He has successfully guided hundreds of folks into the USAF, and lots into AFSPECWAR. We talk all things development and what the process looks like step by step- this episode should be required material for everyone wanting to be an Air Force Special Operations Airman!!!

In April 2003 in Iraq, Kim "Killer Chick" Campbell flew a mission that defied logic and common sense. Responding to a call for help from a ground force about to be overrun, KC risked her own life to save them. The enemy always gets a vote, and then Captain Campbell's A-10 was almost shot down. 

With no hydraulics, in a plane that shouldn't have been able to fly, KC did what only 2 or 3 other pilots have lived through- she flew her A-10 back to friendly control in manual reversion. For her actions that day, she was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. 

Colonel Campbell was kind enough to talk about her amazing career- from becoming the first father/daughter Cadet Wing Commander pair at the United States Air Force Academy, to pilot training, to becoming an A-10 pilot, to her current passion project, the Special Operations Transition Foundation. 

Her dedication to service continues to this day- and we can now add "Best Selling Author" to her list of remarkable accolades. Pre-order her first book, "Flying In The Face Of Fear- A Fighter Pilot's Lessons on Leading With Courage" on Amazon- https://www.amazon.com/Flying-Face-Fear-Fighter-Lessons/dp/1394152353 .

If you are a Special Operator getting ready to transition out of the service, check out SOTF.org for all the help you need for the next step in your journey. 


We are truly honored to tell the story of Col Kim "Killer Chick" Campbell, and we appreciate her coming on. Hope you all enjoy!

As always, THANK YOU for your support, we truly appreciate it.

Special Tactics Training Squadron, or STTS, is one of the premier training squadrons in the entire Air Force. Every single Combat Controller and Special Reconnaissance Airman passes through the doors of STTS, and for a good reason- it's where ST performs it's final evaluations on all candidates before they hit their unit.

Maj Chris Walsh, a Special Tactics Officer, took over STTS after his stint trying out for the Olympic Bobsled team as part of the World Class Athlete Program and has worked hard to make the organization the crown jewel of the ST pipeline. He was kind enough to talk about all things STTS- where it's going, its challenges, and what he has in store for you at the end of your pipeline.

Huge thanks to Maj Walsh for coming on, and make sure to follow his IG @walsh.usa .

Hope you all enjoy this one and train hard!

MSgt Brian Davis has had a crazy career- from hydraulics to recruiting to his current gig as an MQ-9 maintainer (otherwise known as an RPA, or Remotely Piloted Aircraft), he has seen it all. MSgt Davis and Trent sat down to talk all things MQ-9, Air Force, and his many different jobs. 

This one is great for all of you that aren't sure what you want to do and it's a great example of just how many different things you can do during your career. 

Thanks to MSgt Davis for sharing his time, knowledge, and experience!!!

The Rescue and ST communities need hitters of all types- and that's exactly what Special Mission Aviators, or SMA's, are. They are responsible for keeping the aircraft in the air, maintenance, and being an active crew member- and they have been known to save your ass on the ground with a .50 cal or a minigun. 

TSgt Derrick "Snooki" Schwenk came on to talk all things aviation and being a special mission aviator- and we can't say thanks enough!!!
