Commanding the Seas with Lt Commander Robert Adamcik

from Course of Action Hosted by Jeff Clark

Lt Commander turned thriller author Robert Adamcik joins me to talk his new book “The Waveforce Affair”, naval warfare, and his thoughts on the Pentagon today.Bob served as a Surface Warfare officer in Operation Desert Storm, Southern Watch, Stabilize, Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Today, Bob still works with the Navy as a contractor testing out some of the newest toys and weapons systems before they go live with the fleet. He is also a tour guide for the Battleship Wisconsin. Before he retired Bob was also a test director for guided missile submarines for the Navy, something he'd never done before (at least below the surface). The Martini Squad Adventures series is out now, and Adamcik just released the second book THE WAVEFORCE AFFAIR.
