United States Marine Forces Special Operations Command

It doesn't allow for weakness.

One of our board members at Intelligent Waves, which is a company that I'm also involved in, is the retired deputy commander of Marine Corps Special Operations, a gentleman by the name of Scott Conway, who has lived this life in leadership roles for over 30 years.

And there are still issues with treatment and not necessarily because of the availability of treatment, but because of the stigma that gets attached to it.

I recently spent some time with Dr. Richard Sonic, who's a active duty Air Force Colonel at the Air Force Research Labs, the 7th, 11th Human Performance Wing of the United States Air Force, who was involved in a study several years ago that looked at the efficacy of treatment relative to the distance from a service member's home of record.

I don't think that it is necessary for a full-scale invasion.

Now you drop a couple of Delta guys in there, some of my MARSOC brothers, some of these Navy SEALs, little surgical extractions of world leaders.

We did it in Venezuela.

pulled out Maduro.

So you go there, but there's different experiences.

I know two MARSOC snipers who work there.

I've interviewed Secret Service who are friends of mine who work there.

I know the director of security for Air Force One.

But it's, you know, you and I both were, for those in the audience, we have a mutual friend, I'll just call him Mark.

who was in our booth at Softweek talking about his experience, along with our other friend, Alex, along with the retired deputy commander of Marine Corps Special Operations, Scott Conway, who've all had exposure to the program.

So it literally, all you need is a set of headphones and a cell phone, and you can do this anywhere in the world.

You can do it anywhere.

But I think that you would do much better there than at Force Recon.

So if you're okay with it, I'm going to get your package reworked from Force Recon to MARSOC, right? Before either

one of those men had made the recommendation like, hey, you need to go to a different unit.

What had been on your mind? Were you thinking was going to be your future in the Marine Corps? Were you even thinking about either a recon or anything like that at that point?

i i've already worked out too long you know and it's like all those little you know kind of nerds in your head that go off and then all of a sudden after 30 minutes or whatever it's just quiet and like after a certain point that the focus would unlock or it was just like you know, like the, the deepest level of focus I've ever experienced.

And this same is what I get sometimes at the pool when you get really locked in underwater.

It's a, and that was the thing that I was really vibing with at that point that I was like, this is this is like a superpower this focus piece so um that was kind of where i was at with it um and then yeah the i never had anybody that supported me in the in the marines before these guys that they were like you know pushing me and then you know the my commanding officer basically because when i got my raider package i got everything done but then i still had to deploy to iraq Well, so before the Iraq deployment, my company commander said, hey, like, you know, the only way that you don't go to MARSOC is if you get paperwork.

Right.
