Our own Paul Gardner (RetreatHell) will be one Ballistic Radio Sunday

[tuck]

He hasn't posted much here lately eh?

I haven't seen much of him here, or on his YouTube channel in quite awhile.

Does anyone know when the podcast airs?

I was way off...actually told a friend to tune in to that on the wrong day. Paul is such a shy guy, I guess I failed to listen to what he said when he spoke.

There is definitely no doubting the passion he holds for the experiences that he has shared when you hear him speak about it in person. I think that is what I got caught up in when he was sharing the podcast info.

The radio show broadcast is on Sunday nights at 7 pm Eastern, on 55 KRC radio: http://www.55krc.com/main.html You can listen to it live from that website. Paul said that this episode was prerecorded. The host (John Johnson - famous tactical hobo ) does that at times when schedules clash.

You can download and listen to the podcasts (usually the next day) by clicking on the Ballistic Radio website link in the original post.

John is a good guy, and has some great guests in his archive - lots of very interesting folks, many of them members here.

Thanks for the update. Glad to hear he's doing well. I was fearing the worst for a while.

Paul is a hero. That is really great to hear.

While I am not taking anything away from Paul, I think he would agree with me that we throw that term around rather flippantly today.

Paul is living prof that the rest of us have ZERO excuses. To me, that's pretty heroic.

I mean, I think that should be the standard... Look, as a grunt and Iraq Veteran, I like Paul, get called a hero left and right and it drives me crazy. I guess it's all about perspective. All of my heroes have their names on black metal bracelets that I rotate around in my wardrobe.

Without a doubt, Paul sacrificed way more than I have for this country, and my post signature acknowledges that, and he deserves far more respect than my ass does. But I think (or I would like to believe) that he would agree with me that the bullets that hit him had his name on them since the date of manufacture, and getting shot doesn't make you a hero.

Please don't confuse this post with any disrespect to Paul. I openly admit that he is a tougher man than I, and I can't imagine the unspoken mental demons he battles with every day that make mine pale in comparison. My friend and fellow forum member TXBK met him at this armorers course they all took this past weekend and said that he was more than impressed and introduced me to ballistic radio less than 48 hours ago for the soul purpose of listening to this interview- which I will.

TXBK calls me a hero, which infuriates me when I think of men like Paul. And I am almost positive that it pisses him off when he thinks about all of those black bracelets.

Chris,

Understood and appreciated. I look forward to the day when warriors don't have their friend's names engraved in steel, or tattooed on their bodies to memorialize them.

Until then, I'll raise a glass to all our nation's warriors. Bless you all.

I just finished listening to the podcast and want to thank Mr. Gardner for his comments and willingness to share on his experiences; I have read the thread here a few times over, but truly profited from hearing his insights on the podcast as well.
