How does a simple game like airsoft transform into a life-saving hobby for veterans? Join us as Erik and Chris reconnect over shared military backgrounds and their passion for airsoft, diving into the deep-rooted camaraderie among veterans and the cultural nuances of military life. Chris opens up about his post-retirement journey dealing with PTSD-related memory issues and how these experiences have shaped his involvement in the airsoft community, fostering a strong sense of brotherhood and community among players.
From Chris' extensive military career, spanning from his early days in the Navy in the late 1990s to his varied experiences across the Marine Corps and Army, listeners get a firsthand look at intense military operations and unique traditions. The discussion covers everything from the grueling conditions on the flight deck during Operation Southern Watch to the vibrant yet challenging life at sea, including the impact of 9/11 on military operations and the specialized training for Army MPs. Chris' upbringing in the Philippines also offers a unique perspective on adapting cultural skills to his military roles.
What does it take to build a cohesive, international airsoft team with members from multiple countries? Chris shares his vision for the Special Missions Detachment, an international airsoft team that emphasizes respectful relationships and de-escalation techniques crucial for high-risk environments. We explore the revitalization of the airsoft community in Hawaii, the impact of social media on the sport, and the engaging stories of how airsoft fosters a sense of community and team-building among veterans.
