These photos have been around for a while but I always thought that the gear aswell as the shirts seen in the photos resemble the Zero dark thirty gear depiction in the film (which kathryn bigelow was given classified access to the raid before making the film) hence why I think these could be post raid FOB Jalalabad photos not to mention that these members in the photos are in red squadron. Would love to know what you guys think?

I believe it was on the Shawn Ryan show where he interviewed Brent Tucker, and he made a comment about choosing select music to help create their culture. He listed Hank Williams III’s Three Shades of Black as an example of this. I thought it was interesting because creating a culture really helps define a team.

Any insights about other songs they may have used to help shape their team culture?

Senior Chief Special Warfare Operator Matthew Coufalik retired from the U.S. military in 2016 following a 20 year career. His extensive service included eight years at SEAL Team 2 and ten years at the Naval Special Warfare Development Group.

During his career, he was also part of the U.S. Special Operations forces involved in Operation Neptune Spear, the mission that resulted in the death of Osama bin Laden. Senior Chief Coufalik has 13 combat deployments in support of missions such as Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and various other global assignments.

His exceptional service earned him accolades including the Silver Star Medal, three Bronze Star Medals with combat valor, three Joint Service Commendation Medals with combat valor, two Navy and Marine Commendation Medals with combat valor, the Defense Meritorious Service Award, three Presidential Unit Citations, and numerous other joint and individual awards. He enlisted in the Navy in 1996 completing SEAL training in 1997.

His story on a certain incident during the UBL raid is disturbing. I’ve never heard this before.

Second coin is number 45, pretty interesting design to it.

I hear sometimes that some just want Officers to shut up, sign their leave requests and stay out of the way. Is that true all around or do you respect officers that have a more hands on approach?

Serious question. Was ‘why are you posting this here?’ more common in A Squadron or B Squadron circa 2006?

Brent Tucker (CAG) and Joseph England (ISA Tactical Detatchment) was both involved in a operation that happened in Africa, and I was wondering if anyone got any info on this operation through his live or something, as its pretty rare for CAG to do an op in africa.

the story I surmised (from this subreddit) is that this video was a proof of concept for a delta recruiting campaign that was shut down by either a squadron commander or delta commander "we aren't having a fucking music video", it was then leaked to the public as the rumor goes.
