This episode is part of a special sub-series of the podcast in conjunction with The Fighter Pilots' Guide to Living. Our guests are three Green Berets from ODA 595, Mark Nutsch, Paul Evans, and Mike Elmore, and three members of VF-213, Nate Bailey, Michael Peterson, and Chip King.

We will be diving into the missions that ODA 595 and VF-213 had prior to the attacks of 9/11, and how those missions changed after the terror attacks that shocked the world.

Our conversation will lead us to a discussion of a single incident in November 2001 that shifted the way that F-14 Tomcats supported ground forces working to push back the Taliban in the earliest days of Operation Enduring Freedom.
