#75 After Dark - The Story of Afghan-Born Green Beret Kawa Mawlayee: CRW, Fleeing Afghanistan, Joining The Army, Special Operations, Firearms & Hollywood

Welcome back to After Dark! During my time in SoCal with the amazing shooting community out there, I met with Kawa Mawlayee who is one of the instructors for the upcoming California Range Weekend out of 2Alpha Training Group. We dive into Kawa's background and the life changing journey from Afghanistan to America. He sets the record straight on his return to the middle east as a Green Beret after joining the US military where he takes his skill and transforms them into a professional firearms training career. His remarkable journey of resilience, growth, and achievements in the firearms space even inspired a role for him in Hollywood in a Guy Ritchie film! You'll love this episode.
