Episode 48 - This Is Nowhere

This week on The Panjwai Podcast, we are joined by SFC Kyle Chattin. Kyle was a team leader and squad leader in Bayonet Company 1-38 Infantry, stationed at COP Sperwan Ghar and Masum Ghar in 2012-2013. 1-38 relieved B/1-64 (also Bayonets) going into Winter 2012, during a fighting season that never ended. Kyle talks about his history in Afghanistan, the lead up to the deployment, the handover between 1-64 and 1-38 and how B/1-38 had to quickly learn and adapt in the face of a violent threat. Kyle also talks about his project “This is Nowhere”, a video documentary he had toyed with creating to document 1-38’s time in Panjwai, and why he ultimately decided against completing the project. --------------------------------- The views expressed by the guests and hosts of this podcast do not represent the views of the Department of Defense or United States Government. ——————————————— Also Available on: Apple: https://buff.ly/3gTXet9 Spotify: https://buff.ly/2Kx6cjR Google: https://buff.ly/3b29R4z Podbean: https://buff.ly/2WoN0aF iHeartRadio: https://buff.ly/3nc5Wo1 Check out the video version of the podcast at : https://www.youtube.com/thepanjwaipodcast For maps, photos and more information about Panjwai go to : https://www.thepanjwaipodcast.com/about-panjwai You can donate and support the podcast on Patreon for as little as $3.00 a month. visit www.patreon.com/thepanjwaipodcast to learn more.
