On with me for this week\u2019s podcast is recently retired Chief Warrant Officer 4 Mike Rutledge. Rutledge has had a unique career path having served for 30 years in the United States military. He entered the Navy as a Search and Rescue crewmen deploying around the world in that capacity. He later became a Navy SEAL where he served for 8 years. \n\nHe\u2019s always had a passion for flying. After serving in the SEAL Teams Mike went on to serve as an Aviator in the Army\u2019s 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR). The \u201cNight Stalkers\u201d are the best helicopter pilots in the world. They were born out of the failure of Operation Eagle Claw in which Army Special Missions operators attempted to rescue American hostages in Iran. Mike is an extremely humble warrior who deployed into combat 15 times. We discussed history, the warrior mindset, women in combat arms and many other topics. This is a gem.\n\nThis episode is sponsored by War Dragons\nWar Dragons is a 3D, Real Time, Strategy video game \u2013 right on your phone.
