	Description:		Blow things up today. We are super lucky to have an outstanding operator join us who served with the US Air Force Special Operations. From the middle of a firefight, CCTs get to call in aircraft – helicopters, fighter jets etc – and select what sort of bombs and missiles to unleash on the enemy. Airman Ed Priest in fact was so good at the job he was hand-selected to control all air assets for the protection and movement of the President of the United States on his visit to Afghanistan. That is quite the coveted accolade being chosen to protect the US commander in chief in a war zone. CCTs get to go to the best cool schools and master some serious James Bond kind of stuff from firefights on skis to knife fights deep underwater. So Allison gets Ed to take you deep inside this unseen world of badasses. Ed is also an awesome storyteller so Allison asks him to share some mission tales that will truly knock your socks off. Find out why it was a bad day to be a donkey in Iraq. Uncover the unexpected, dangerous threat targeting the wieners of SEAL team 6 guys. Don’t miss the best radio station in the whole wide world discovered by an NCO while on patrol. Think you’ve had a bad day? Hear about an epic bad day that will blow your mind and inspire you to fearlessly take on anything that comes your way in the future. And don’t miss the top tip on a South American special, unique beer that Ed stumbled upon by sheer chance.
