Right now we hear Half I of the Fight Story of Ray McPadden, a former Army Infantry Officer who survived 4 deployments that included main troops in one of the crucial harmful valleys of Afghanistan with the tenth Mountain Division and as a Floor Pressure Commander within the Ranger Battalion.
Listeners actually respect our interviews with Particular Operators and it’s simple to see why. Many listeners have requested to listen to a couple of extra shops from the standard aspect of the home. Right now’s episode focuses fully on the standard aspect of Ray’s profession and preventing that his Battalion Commander on the time promised can be tougher than something he would go on to do within the Rangers.
Ray’s expertise within the Pech and Korangal Valleys will probably be eye opening to many who had no concept forces have been preventing on this unforgiving terrain and in these remoted circumstances. Many have seen Restrepo and the Hornet’s Nest and may respect simply how troublesome that preventing was. Ray and his males fought to construct the positions and fortifications that might later grow to be the backdrop of these motion pictures and books.
We use Ray’s personal improbable e book – We March at Midnight – as a information to stroll by the primary half of his profession and can decide up partially two along with his time within the Particular Ops group. I hope you take pleasure in this primary of two Fight Tales and his combat in what was often called the “Valley of Demise” as a lot as I did.
