Episode Description from the Publisher

Bruno Fallon spent 40 years in the special operations community: Army Ranger Battalion at 17, then Special Forces, then flight school to become an MH 47 Chinook flight lead with the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, the Night Stalkers. Between 30 years of active duty and ten more with the Department of Defense, he logged over six years of hostile fire combat time across Afghanistan, Iraq, the Horn of Africa, and the Philippines. Today he's Chief Marketing Officer and Director of Special Events at the Sawmill Training Complex.   Bruno doesn't hold back on out of shape police officers and firefighters. His position: there's no excuse for any first responder to not be fit, because "it's not about you, you're there for somebody else." He lays out what he sees as a systemic problem in law enforcement, departments that skimp on firearms training and hands on control tactics, and makes the case for why every officer should be training Brazilian jiu jitsu to avoid unnecessary escalations of force.   We also get into what it was like flying the MH 47 in combat, why the 160th is suddenly in the spotlight after the Venezuela operation, his take on the Bin Laden raid, why he still trains every day, sometimes twice, at 61, and what he learned running a national SWAT competition at the Sawmill.   Follow Bruno https://www.instagram.com/vikingtilvahalla/?hl=en   Follow Truth Serum Podcast Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/tylermintonnutrition/?hl=en Podcast IG:  https://www.instagram.com/truthserumpodcast_/?hl=en TikTok:  @TruthSerumPod Website:  https://ethosnutritioncoaching.com/ Newsletter:  https://ethosnutritioncoaching.com/truth-serum-weekly-newsletter/
