b'Ryan Hendrickson is a Special Forces Engineer in the U.S. Army. Ryan transferred over to the Army in 2008 after completing enlistments in both the Navy and Air Force. He has many military deployments including Iraq, Afghanistan, and several South and Central American countries. In 2010, while serving as an 18C on his first deployment as a Green Beret, he survived an IED blast. He recalls, \\u201cmy tib and my fib were poking out and I looked over, and my boot was probably about six inches away from me.\\u201d He was able to have a new procedure performed on his leg which allowed him to return to active duty, deploying in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 and earning him a Silver Star for his heroics on one particular mission. He wrote Tip of the Spear as a way to help him through some of the struggles he was experiencing.\\n\\nhttps://ryanmhendrickson.com/books/tip-of-the-spear/\\n_______________\\nThis episode is brought to you by UnCanna.
