Mike Doyle is an active Special Weapons and Tactics team member, known as S.W.A.T.  He also hosts a podcast called Tactical Tangents that delves into decision making, critical thinking, problem solving, leadership, and teamwork.  

The mission of the S.W.A.T. team is to provide the police department with the capability to resolve high-risk situations.  Examples of their missions include hostage situations, barricaded suspects, high-risk search warrants and raids, VIP protection details, and counter-sniper.  

S.W.A.T specialties include snipers, explosive breaching, chemical and less-lethal munitions, armored personal carrier operations, tactical medics, tactical robot operations, and entry specialists.

Mike also works as a K9 handler, tactical medic and as a police firearms instructor.  In this podcast he goes into the S.W.A.T mentality, who thrives during the training, and what is like entering a barricaded building.  He also gives shooting tips for beginner and intermediate shooters.

Also, I’m giving away the F-35 patch I’ve been flying with.

Lt Col. Matt ‘Freq’ Casey is a legend in the Fighter Pilot community.  He’s shot the most high-speed anti-radiation missiles (HARM) in combat, he’s a graduate of the prestigious Air Force Weapons School, and recently retired after a 23 year career in the Air Force.  

He’s flown combat missions in Operations Northern Watch, Southern Watch, and Allied Force while shooting 11 HARM missiles at enemy surface-to-air missile (SAM) sites.

Freq is best described as a warrior monk.  Aside from his military accomplishments, it’s his mindset that sets him apart.  He likens flying to art and through creativity and discipline he is able to bring out the best pilot possible.  

In this wide ranging conversation, he goes into what it’s like to be shot at, the time he put an F-16 out of control, and what makes a great pilot.  He also discusses his mediation routine, why he gave up drinking, and what it means to be a man. 

Lt Col Matt 'Freq' Casey retired in July 2018 having been known as the best damn fighter pilot to ever touch an F-16.  He proudly accepts any challenges to this claim.
