CMSgt (retired) Michael Lamonica and MSG (retired) Kyle Stanbro, both retired Air Force combat controllers join us to break down what CCT’s do and their roles in the war on terror, Afghanistan withdrawal, and humanitarian missions throughout the world. And, why CCTs are arguably the deadliest force to ever walk the planet.

With each of them having over 30 yrs of active service, they’ve experienced a wide range of deployments, both combat related and due to natural disasters. In addition, they’ve trained CCT’s in the pipeline.

We also discuss their fundraising efforts for the Combat Control Association. Mike is the President and Kyle is a member of the board and they have worked tirelessly to raise money thru the Combat Control Foundation so they can support CCT’s and their families in times of need.

rich brown

In addition to being a Marine, Rich Brown is my first law enforcement officer on the show. He’s proven to live a life of service–to his country, to his community and to immigrants looking for work and better ways of life in the US.

Speaking of immigrants, we have a great discussion about President Trump’s recent remarks concerning people coming here from shithole countries. Rich has not only been to many of the countries spoken of, but he helps hire immigrants from these countries. He provides some insight into the outrage by so many based on his experiences in these corrupt countries and working with their people.

Brown is a founding member of the American Warrior Society, which is an online university where anyone can learn how to keep their families safe. He is a veteran of Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm. And at one time he received orders to teach small arms, patrolling, military operations in urban terrain and unarmed close combat at the Marine Corps School of Infantry (East).

We close our conversation by talking a little every-day carry (EDC). And he shares some tips on how to carry with a tucked in shirt.
