"Conditioning is built up to be effective out there; to go out and do your job." This icebreaker is the lead into the full conversation with Chris Burtenshaw. Chris provides a profound look into his experiences as a new para during Afghanistan, beginning with his deployment in 2010 just before Herrick 13. The discussion navigates through the challenges faced, including near-death experiences, dealing with the loss of comrades, and the mental conditioning required to confront the enemy. He further narrates the difficulties in transitioning from military to civilian life, adjusting to the private security industry, and shares heartfelt advice for aspiring soldiers. The conversation culminates with reflections on personal inspirations, the contemporary political landscape, and historical military figures he admires. An intriguing icebreaker with Chris before the full podcast.
