ROK SEAL at American BUD/S: Hell Week, Hostage Rescue & Ukraine Front Lines | Ep. 265 | Pt. 2

from Mike Drop · host Mike Ritland

In Part 2 of Episode 265 of the Mike Drop Podcast, host Mike Ritland continues his in-depth conversation with Ken Rhee — a Korean-American UDT/SEAL (ROK SEAL) who grew up in the U.S., served in South Korea’s elite naval special warfare unit, trained at American BUD/S, fought pirates off Somalia, volunteered in Ukraine, and now runs a private military consulting firm while navigating strict Korean gun laws and a suspended prison sentence. Expect raw insights into cross-national SEAL training, hostage-rescue ops, post-military contracting, the realities of foreign volunteer combat, and a unique cultural take on firearms, self-defense, and crime from someone who’s lived in both American and Korean worlds. Audio is Zoom-based but packed with unfiltered stories you won’t hear anywhere else. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
