My dad was a 1/75 Ranger in the 80s and my grandfathers were Airborne in Korea and SF in Vietnam. That's all I ever wanted to do but I couldn't pass the airborne physical (popping ears) at Fort Meade MEPS. Dad's Ranger buddy left the Rangers, went Delta, then AWG, which is also at Meade. My recruiter took me to AWG once dad's buddy called and heard they were only offering basic infantry to me since I couldn't be airborne. Because of a long tabbed Major at AWG, who I think was a doctor, I got the paperwork saying I could pop my ears. The Major gave me another physical and was somehow able to override MEPS. I got an option 40 and was eventually assigned to 1/75 myself. I owe AWG and my father's friend for making my dream come true.
Off topic, but Jack, your book, each chapter, is worth the price of the book. I'm only half way through. Love the generals' views chapter, love to hear their hindsights. You think like one of the best informed overseers of US special forces history, your book is a major insider overview. Typos here and there in the Kindle edition, your proofreader/editor(s) ought to have caught, but they don't detract from the incredible views of those your interview. I'm an ex Army brat, and always wondered what the special people did, your book plus a few others, Sean Naylor's one, and your incredible guest's books, add up to all an excellent overview briefing. Praise to all in and formerly in and over the special units.
Great interview! AWG was GEN Cody’s baby at the outset. COL Bob Shaw (there is an interview worth having) was chosen to be the first commander because he was also a visionary that understood Cody’s vision. AWG started as a FOA so we had direct access to the CoS, Deputy, and Vice CoS and could bring battlefield observation directly to the top for rapid solution development; both immediately back to the battlefield through the Operational Advisor’s dual role of observer / advisor but also through the institution. Solution development was the hallmark of the organization and the unit was task organized for that purpose. Bob Shaw and CSM Greg Birch were the perfect pair to set the tone for what the unit became.
Ill never forget when you challenged any youngsters from the company to fight and if we won you would promote us. PFC Harper tapped you out quick, but he was never promoted😂
There are few times when we get the input to training to the FEBE like happened with the AWG. Absolutely Fantastico. Each one of the operators that I worked with was nothing less than The Best.
Love the podcast! I’m not sure if there’s someone mixing the vocals, but it would be great if yall could compress the vocals more aggressively. Although when you compress audio it will bring forth all of the unpleasant frequencies. An easy fix would be to roll off the low end at 200-250 hz with a high pass filter. If there is a lot of high end brought forth by the compression you will need a de-esser to get rid of the harsh -ess sound. If you dont have an audio guy and dont understand anything i just said i would love to show you for free. I dont care about the money i just love the podcast and dont want to have to constantly turn my volume up and down when someone coughs or gets excited and gets loud. Keep doing gods work boys!
The US Army's Green to Gold Program was Enlisted Personnel going to OCS to become an Army Officer. My 1st Roommate had his Bachelor's Degree and Enlisted...I told him of the Program and he became an Officer. He would eventually Retire as an O-4/Major in Environmental Science.
The IOBC transition to COIN was short lived. I attended IOBC now IBOLC and although we were told COIN was no more. We still had curriculum based on it and practiced mock KLE. We also spent a week or two digging fox holes
Glad you guys are sharing some light on the struggles of the conventional infantry … during GWOT, arguably most of the generals should’ve been relieved due to stupid calls … cop kieting was an example…. the Army needs to invest in the conventional Infantry NCO
When the TRADOC CSM is a former AWG unit member (also a tanker) and the organization still dies there is a fundamental failure to truly value the unit.
It's absolutely nuts you speak about the incident at Bragg at 38 minutes. Soldiers in my company were involved in that, obviously not going to disclose that information but it has been years since I have heard about that brought up. Definitely a black eye incident but crazy to hear none the less.
2:24:01 self-service productivity without replicating multiple niche depth of expertise. The various siloed depths of expertise shard over time. Those are not required for productivity, just to iterate and run the platforms.
I broke my Meds in my Rt Foot too ... i fought through it , im 51 ive probably broke it 10 times over 20 years and its pancaked flat and healed wrong causes it to break very easily, its F ed ! Im getting it looked at finally
Appreciate the detailed breakdown! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
COIN was a shit show. Those in the fight knew it. Patreus’ great plan was just Vietnam 2.0. Turned out the same way. Also, great to hear some love coming for the unsung conventional guys. Those guys stories need to be told too. It’s just a totally different world between SOF and conventional.
I would be happy to support you but I'm in Pucallpa Perú in the Amazon Jungle, I have no support myself and my health situation and living situation is not good. Thank you for all that you do. Any information on Mike Edwards bible study group? Do you know John Lovell, Army Ranger now Pastor

Awesome episode as always guys! Jason is very well spoken and has a super interesting background/career that was great to listen to.

Never trust an n.c.o when an offer sounds too good 😂😂😂
@@RossNaylor-j1qdude's a commissioned officer, sooooo.....
Lol
Pepper ridge farm remembers.
Really sucks going through an entire enlistment as a PFC.
Very interesting. Some of the best training I've ever received (inside & Outside of the military) was with the AWG. I just started reading; "We Defy".
Best interview I've seen so far out of many great guests on this show. Really interesting insights from Jason.
Jason Davis my old CO from CCO 2-508th PIR, whats up Brother.

Outstanding episode 👏👏👏
Intriguingly, the ASG actually had a Facebook page that was updated most weeks.
Very interesting discussion.

AWG are reverse green berets….bringing our conventional forces the ability to bend the learning curve
Thanks.
Another great episode. I sincerely hope you'll address the audio. Thank you, gentlemen.

AWG, so cool they sent it to TRADOCto die, like they sent JIEDDO to DTRA to die 😂
