Episode 0039 - Tyler Pollard, Part 2

“There’s a reason why I am here today.”

In this episode, we are joined in the studio by Army National Guard veteran, Mr. Tyler Pollard. He tells us about how his mom prepared him for joining the military, being made the platoon leader because he was in ROTC, scuffles with the 82nd in Kuwait, and the joy of being in Officer Candidate School (OCS) during COVID. We also discuss his trauma from his time in Syria and how being sent to the Soldier Recovery Unit (SRU) set him up to become a Warrior Games gold medalist and the people that helped him heal along the way.

Rock and Roll is blaring in the Free Fire Area as Roger and Dan reflect on the greatest songs of the late Ozzy Osbourne, Dan's disdain for the late Chris Cornell, and Roger's distrust of the greatest living rock guitarist (and commie), Tom Morello.
