As a supporter of Evan and BRC from the beginning THIS is the discussion Ive been looking for. The high level of intelligence combined with humbleness is a rare and beautiful thing to witness and such an important character trait practiced by true leaders. I believe that this clear, honest and logical thought process is the key to success in any field and Evan breaks it down so eloquently here. Bravo sir and thank you for sharing this as an example for all men and women to strive for in the way they make decisions and apply themselves. The experiences and mindset shared here are extremely unique and rarely broken down in such detailed conversation. We can only hope in this most important time in our history that people across the world can merely take a single lesson from this treasure trove of brilliance. Thanks again to Evan and Co. for showing what true leadership and values look like. We will continue sending support your way!
Falaka island was an Iraqi stronghold during gulf war 1. We dropped daisy cutters on them. The British thought we dropped nukes. Call sign Mamba-1 dropped. Marines and sailors went on the island after the drop for BDA. Their words, “those dudes were bags of broken bones and water.”
1:25:45 / 1:26:30 (to put a small context but even beyond) i was not in the military but this is precisely why i folloy your content. This thought process translates and relates to everyday life, bussiness,etc in a major way. I love it. Thanks
People in the world with the intelligence and courage to understand and solve complex problems is not that rare. When you find a person that understands complex topics on a high level and can also explain said subjects in a clear and concise way is when you have something special. In this case you have a dude that has a legendary military career then retires and birthes a billion dollar company selling coffee. Evan Hafer is proof positive of what we are capable of if we devote ourselves to something and completely focus on it. Listening to this conversation makes me so hopeful for our future and our capabilities as a human race if more people just had this humble, logical way of viewing the world. Such a badass modern man this dude is. Much respect
Aside from the 3 vets that live in my block I’m the only one who flies the American flag above me door and I wish more people did bc I love this country like all you listening to this probably. I wish I stayed sober so I can enlist but life had other plans. May God Bless America!!
I'm jealous of what you guys have with your company... I got out in 09 and got my bachelors of science in economics to get a corporate job some time later as an analyst... Corporate has no team values and will sacrifice you and anyone else at the drop of a dime to get a promotion etc. Everyone suits up to wear a mask in an office to manipulate and wait for the right time to pull the rug out from under you! 15 years out and I'm constantly talking about how much I miss serving. Even considered going back in as an officer with the raised age limits but it wouldn't be the same because I'd be going into something that I didn't evolve in/with.
20:30 I was in the 9th Inf Div at Ft Lewi in 1986 when the Army was testing those Chenoweth dune buggies. We were also testing the Hummer and other "High Tech Light" equipment.
I can relate when Evan talked about Tilrit in 06 I spent a year between there and Samara, had the honor of working with several ODA’s while I was there.
I was in Kirkuk 04/05. Lived in the patrol base by the communist party building in the north part of the city. We had 3 different ODAs rotate out of the safe house in the middle of our patrol base. Did more than a few raids with them. When Evan said Kirkuk in the time frame made my ears perk up. Funny story about them. We were doing a raid and we had to secure SFs GMVs while the ODA went into this house with the Iraqi Cops. This weapons sergeant is trying to explain the smaw d to me because I was going to be in the turret. Me: that is way too complicated to give me a 30 sec training on. I’ll just grab one of our AT4s. He looked at me like me like I was the stupidest person alive.
I have adhd and as an electrician sometimes it can hinder me. But 9 times out of 10 I will get a call and the peco guy is scratching his head how the line could’ve blew and I just see the wires, the burn marks going in the pipe, aerial etc and say ohhh maybe this happened and they look at me like I have 6 heads. And sure enough I figure it out for their reports and how we can prevent situations like that in the future. That’s interesting about the cqb thing. This was a fascinating podcast to listen to
Would you recommend joining the military right now? I'm a 33 year old male and recently split up with my daughters mother. I do sheet metal and am just bored with life. Feel like I lost my purpose. I'm a journeyman sheet metal worker but regret not joining when I was younger. I feel like I need to serve my country but an worried about serving under our current administration. Any thoughts?
If your sole concern is the current administration, governments change all the time, the work doesn't really change. The job is one of those that's kinda one foot in/one foot out of the political arena. Yeah, higher ups will always have their agenda's and political aspirations that'll inevitably trickle down to the guys at the bottom of the totem pole, but for the most part it doesn't impact the day to day work all that much. The biggest thing I think you'll face is that you will be the "old man." You'll be the only one (at least very likely) above the age of twenty during your basic training, and you'll be going to a unit where you'll be taking orders from dudes much younger than you. By the time you'll be at the point where you'll have enough experience, and the rank to go with it that you won't be everyone else's bitch, you'll be at the age that most dudes who make a career out of it wanna be when they retire. If you can make peace with that, then by all means, full send it!
At this house we fly “de oppresso liber” We (all roommates) agree that with the current situation the red white and blue could only be flown upside down. Or along side “no step on snek” Even then…… I personally feel “de oppresso liber” is far more applicable to out current state of existence
I want to be a marine growing up I share my birthday with the devil dogs. I ended up tearing my ACL, MCL, PCL basically ripped my shit in half in high school so I never got my chance but still got my fair share of PTSD from it.😂😂😂
Y’all remember when one of those SEAL dune buggies got stolen in Grand Junction Colorado? I wonder if some former team guy out there thought it would be put to better use on his ranch.
30:55 - "I love it when a plan comes together". In all seriousness the previous 5min were right out of pages from that corny show and I'm legit wondering who actually had a hand in writing it...
@@BlackRifleCoffeePodcast I can't even imagine the conversation that would happen if there were by standers. "Bro wtf... did you see that? A fucking cow just fell out of the sky and crushed dude."😂😂😂
This ongoing ten year conversation fascinates me. Everyone can learn from these principles.
I could listen to this shit all day. Love this podcast man. Gives me a lot
Best BRCC video so far……the end portion holds truth.

Nothing humble about Evan, guys douche. You're just a fan boy

Evan, awesome words of wisdom. Thank you !!
I love listen to this guy tell his stories. Just seems like a good solid dude.
Thank you for setting the example! 🇺🇸

Went to Falaka Island as well with 1/325th prior to invasion. Great training.

This nerding out has beet a legit awesome listen to while working today

I have been listening to you alot lately and honestly makes me want that military experience.

@@SplashingMANGO thanks for the input. Appreciate you taking the time to respond.
@@mulishareppinfull send, now or never.
Go ,if you don't you'll always regret it.
Who did the burn out at the FF at Garrett's track.That Camaro is bad ass
Beef bombs?!
That had to be absolutely terrifying to watch from the ground 😂🤣💀
What watches are you guys wearing sorry a little of topic but I noticed them when you hit the mic
"Climbing was a totally different endeavor." 39:50 ish. Mountains don't climb back.
Love the hat Evan
Is that a GBRS hat?
It is indeed
At this house we fly “de oppresso liber”
We (all roommates) agree that with the current situation the red white and blue could only be flown upside down. Or along side “no step on snek”
Even then……
I personally feel “de oppresso liber” is far more applicable to out current state of existence
Anyone who hasn’t watched Logan’s documentary “for the 25”… watch it.
1:19 Amen !
What type of watch is that
I want to be a marine growing up I share my birthday with the devil dogs. I ended up tearing my ACL, MCL, PCL basically ripped my shit in half in high school so I never got my chance but still got my fair share of PTSD from it.😂😂😂
I want Evan on my team
No shit right. The guys a machine.
I fully expect a shirt for Beef Bomb
Or at least a coffee bag with that art 🤣
Y’all remember when one of those SEAL dune buggies got stolen in Grand Junction Colorado?
I wonder if some former team guy out there thought it would be put to better use on his ranch.
Grand Junction has one of the highest populations of former SEALS and Group guys in the nation. I wouldn’t put it past them lol
Evan Hafer has eaten horse, what a MONSTER!!! (Kidding)
Dunebuggy should have had paddle tires,then,it wouldn't have gotten stuck half as often
30:55 - "I love it when a plan comes together". In all seriousness the previous 5min were right out of pages from that corny show and I'm legit wondering who actually had a hand in writing it...
RAD!
Dropping cows out of planes because they ran out of bombs🤣🤣🤣
Problem solving at it's finest
@@BlackRifleCoffeePodcast I can't even imagine the conversation that would happen if there were by standers. "Bro wtf... did you see that? A fucking cow just fell out of the sky and crushed dude."😂😂😂
Lt. James Agnew, can't find much info...at all actually.
The amount of ads in this short video is desperate and aggravating.
He, on the other hand is cool to listen to as I work in my garage at night
