On this episode of the Ones Ready podcast we sit down with the man, the myth, the legend retired Combat Controller and renowned author Dan Schilling. Dan spent 30 years as a USAF Combat Controller with time in combat operations all over the world like Operation Gothic Serpent in Somalia. After retirement he continued to do bad ass things, one of which is write a little book you may have heard of called Alone At Dawn about the operation in Afghanistan where MSgt John Chapman was killed in action. Funny enough we don't talk much about either of these topics, but rather we picked his brain about a whole bunch of things. So sit back and enjoy the ride!
