You're listening to software, radio, special operations, military news and straight talk with the guys in the community.

Hey, what's going on? This is rad, a host of software, radio and I have a really fun show today. We're going to be talking to two veterans who have transitioned their lives into podcasts like myself.

But first, I got to mention our merch store. I know you guys have been supporting us. We've been seeing some stickers and whatnot around being tagged on Instagram.

Please keep supporting the merch store. You know, it's what keeps the gas on the lights on the sunglasses on and also we have a book club.

If you notice, we've been interviewing a lot of authors, a lot of those books are in our book club and that's software.com forward slash book hyphen club.

You already know it. You've already been listening. Now let's just get right into it. I've got Israel and Cameron with pop culture field manual podcast.

Now Israel is former green beret or maybe active. He'll answer that and then Cameron is a former United States Army Ranger. Welcome to the show gentlemen.

Thank you for having us, man. We appreciate it rad. We are pumped to be here. My dude and it is going to be a good one. Yes, it is.

We were just sitting here chatting, pre-show and I was like, you got all sorts of cool things in the background.

You've got like this shield back here with the lightning bowl. What is that? Tell me what that is.

So I got my custom neon sign. I wish it was made by like a veteran company, but not just China, dude.

But this is actually the designated unit insignia of the 75th Ranger regiment. So I got that all done up and I got me and Israel.

We're on YouTube together for a channel called Shift Fire and then we got Mattan Beret, got my C.I.B. E.I.B.

Just all my all my accolades and cool things that make me seem legit.

Yes. I'm just trying to be as authentic as possible.

You know, what do you think about that? You can really get everything off of there, right?

I mean, like, I mean, just to come back here, LVT's on there. You got like, no, it's everything's on there.

It's ridiculous. The amount of access we have to like, I mean, I love it just because obviously I'm a big gear guy.

So it's cool that you know, anybody can get anything, but it seems like in today's day and age, like they take that concept and they run with it.

And for some reason, everyone who does stolen Valor, everybody who does stolen Valor says they're Rangers. So it's, it must be, it must be something in the water, man.

There's a lot of Rangers, right? Is that right? It's not many Green Berets. You think?

I'd had always said, my dad always said it was easy to get away as a captain or a second lieutenant than it was a major.
