Today we hear the Combat Story of 29 year Army Special Operations (USASOC) veteran and Operator Rick Hogg, who spent time with the 82nd, 7th Special Forces Group and US Army Special Operations Command. His time ranged from Desert Storm deep into the post-9/11 era.
Rick spent years as a K-9 handler in the Special Ops community, forging a very strong bond with his dog “Duco” in particular. Rick managed through years of deployments and overcame the effects of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) with a very concerted focus on his own health and transition from the military that many can learn from.
After leaving the service, Rick now owns War Hogg Tactical offers mobile firearms, tactical and K9 training to civilians, military and law enforcement agencies that was borne out of his experience training Special Forces. He’s written the book “The Firearms Training Notebook: 1% Better Everyday”, co-hosts the On The Range Podcast, and founded the “In Honor of Duco” charity.
I hope you enjoy this wide ranging and emotional discussion with a USASOC operator as much as I did.

Dear sir. Mr. Hogg is correct. Many of us who retired are tied to our career and unable to move to something else. For some it is the highest rank they held and they identify as that. Probably not too healthy. It is great to listen to someone who has figured some things out and is honest and courageous enough to articulate it. Wonderful session. Thank you.
Thank you for all your support and have a great evening
#1. I’m thankful for the story of the Dogg and Hogg. Now I gotta go get this dust out of my eyes. Thanks for sharing guys
You’re very welcome and enjoy your evening!
Great interview. Thank you for sharing Duco's story and highlighting the service of other K9 warriors.
Thank you for all your support and have a great evening!
Not military, but have had that dogg connection myself. Your best by far interview ever! Not just the dogg story but the personal Hogg story. This man and his dogg Ducko are above and beyond amazing.
Thanks Ryan having me on the show!
Congrats on the 100k Milestone! Your podcast and guests (and other similar podcasts) are so motivating! Keep it up brother!!

God Bless you Rick. Thanks for sharing your story
I'm a former 68T vet tech with the army. It was an honor knowing these dogs. Also a former civilian vet tech. Veterinary treatment is really expensive these days
Thank you for your service and helping our 4 legged service members, and you are 100% about vet cost. Have a great week!
Thank you for sharing
🤗🙏🇺🇲.
I received a sticker yesterday that’s so true! “Defend Freedom Not Feelings”
Baam :) fascinating work you have here
Great episode
I have listened to all of them . IMHO I think this is the best one yet…
Thanks Terry for all your support and enjoy your evening!
Wonderful to see the emotion from a SO.

Good show!
Great video
🆘 effortlessly wonderful!! ❤️
Great guest! Thanks for telling Ricks and Duko’s story.
Thank you Jon for all your support and enjoy your evening!
@@WarHOGGTactical Of course, heard you on SOB's podcast too. Thank you for your service!
Nice love watch combat verterans stories
I’m usually a silent spectator who enjoys these without leaving a comment but his talk about mourning and emotions and living for the dead keeping their legacy alive really resonated with me as someone who’s lost people and would absolutely just shove all the emotions in a box. It took me a long time to start my healing process as well and hearing this stuff be said and talked about is necessary, too many people still bottle everything up. I wholeheartedly support the message of even men need to feel their emotions, and it makes you no less of a man to do so. More people need to hear that.
Thanks for all your support and have a great week!
Great episode like always. Just wished we could of heard some stories of some hits
Absolutely stunning ❤️❤️
great stuff
I have a very good friend in Rome named Biggus Dickus...JK. very deep about Duco. Dogs are so special...
So peaceful.
Hogg sounds like Rex from Toy Story. Great interview!
Epic video
waiting on next one📍
And another one. Looking forward to this (after 49ers vs Seahawks). I love this podcast. One of the best out.
🈶 a amazing personality!🐶❤️💙❤️💙❤️
Power of now on the way. Hogg resonated a lot and such a great interview. One of my favs. So many of the dudes I know that have actually found happiness not bought happiness have been through the path of Buddhism. This was the catalyst I needed to hear this story and take the first step towards seeing if this book is as powerful. Ryan and Ryan Jr. Keep it up the podcasts are simply awesome. Love the setting love the flow amigos.
Thanks for all your support and enjoy your week!
@@WarHOGGTactical ever on the Idaho BDR route amigo, live to sit at campfire!
Our spot to settle things as high schoolers growing up was the gas station across the street after school.
supper good
amazing💝💝
Nice video product
i knew of a few Hogg families in mid Michigan.
I like this music!
nice i like it💕💕💕
keep it up
Rick, I have been saying the same thing!!! The current generation is everyone gets a trophy and letting a small subset of our society control everything.
Great episode Gentlemen , also Hogg great name , I go to Hoggs of Fife in Scotland for high performance footwear and clothing for the country professional.
One of my coworkers was a dog handler in Vietnam.
Maybe I missed it, but which ODA was he in?
Humbling how down to earth you guys are even after all the bad ass shit you qll have
Cool vid, I was impressed🤎💜🖤
❤️❤️❤️
I wish delta had a dog for each guy… can you imagine sending in a pack of ferocious dogs into a target
😂😂
M A Y H E M
I agree 1000% brother. Our nation and it's government amd social status is Sick! Like the original sick, meaning not well, misguided and in need of Gods healing hand. I just hope the filthy ways in many things doesn't keep God from saving us from ourselves. Thank you for your service amd your story. 👊💯
woow so nicee❣️💘💝
Dream your dream !!
Rick you and I were in basic training together
O the names when i was in a good friend of mine his last name was pits. When he had a kid he named him Harry. So harry pits
Wait, when he’s talking about physical therapy.. As a retired service member with any time over 20 years, doesn’t he get to use the same facilities and doctors cuz he maintains his tri-care for life? I’m only 14:25 into it and I’ll continue to watch the rest of but that’s one thing that I had to ask about
Ryan, how could you let him get out of this interview without calling him on his BS. Does he think “Trigger” was any less of a badass because she was a women? Does he consider the 152 female service members killed in the GWOT lesser because they were women? Does he believe that combat is only reserved for the combat arms? Does he believe that her teammates were worried about her being a woman before Shannon Kent was killed in Syria with SOF? Is he intentionally disparaging fellow war fighters who made the ultimate sacrifice, or was it an accident? I’m still waiting for someone to explain how these “woke” programs have made the military less lethal. Love the show, keep doing what you do.
I was always taught NEVER tie a leash around your waist. You cannot control a big dog if he decides to bolt unexpectedly. He can drag you into traffic or into a room quick and easy. Without even getting into no traction on shale or wet floors or snow.
Belgians are fairly small. They are high energy and explosive but not heavy and powerful. One's not dragging you into traffic. I'd hate to hitch myself like that to a big, powerful dog though!
Can an assault dog be cross trained to locate explosives ??
Some, maybe most. Not all, as far as i know...
All of our dogs could detect explosive as well, thanks for the question and enjoy your evening
👍
Anyone else experiencing no sound?
He talked about emotions. When a man gets emotional, he becomes the most dangerous version of himself.
Lol this guy is entertaining, would be a rough patient tho. He also really eats up the gen z hate, "no it's different now". Yeah yeah. Also, the army has to do weird shit to increase recruiting
Yeah well why is it so many other countries have women in the military without a ton of discord ?
I respect you immensely as a soldier, and I can’t begin to match what you’ve contributed to my and everyone else’s freedoms, but bro, we wouldn’t need social engineering in the military or anyplace else for that matter, if we didn’t live in a society that has some inexcusable and profound dysfunction. The 50s are gone for good reason, and not many black, brown, female, queer people want to step back into that shit way of life, and most of all if America doesn’t join the rest of the world in not being needlessly dickish we will absolutely be left behind…
Wait...where is the 1st combat story ? Thats what we skip too!
Kids still do things the same way. This guy lives in a conservative echochamber fantasy land.
Absolutely loved this, and he’s right about the wokeness in out military, worried about what pronouns and shit. Your rank is your pronoun, or shitbag, dumbass, pri’et, etc.
I like this video but when he went off on women in the military it pissed me off.
Didn’t catch that bit. What’s the issue?
1:21:45
@@Jump-n-smashot wanting women in combat arms because of the drama associated with them, such as when addressing a group of women and men as “guys”, the women voice their displeasure in being called guys. (“Hey, guys, what’s up?”) That’s one example he gave.
Having experienced exactly what he’s talking about, he’s not wrong.
Rick is a 30+ veteran of the Army so I'll defer to his experience. I know it's a tough issue but his expertise matters.
❤️💙❤️💙❤️
