This is a Military themed podcast by a retired Marine Corps Officer dealing with everyone from former Military, actors, U-2, SR-71 pilots, a ton of F-14 Top Gun stories, grunts and their time in the service. You name it, you might find it here. Each Tuesday, I interview old friends or others who I just find interesting. There is a YouTube channel by the same name and all of these shows are on there. They also include photos and other visual aides that you won’t get from the audio so please join me there and subscribe if you enjoy the content. Semper Fi, Taco

    As Marine Corps reservists, we are sort of free agents sometimes when it comes to filling holes on the active-duty forces side over in the war.  Hundreds of thousands over the years have volunteered for numerous tours in Iraq and Afghanistan taking the pressure off of some guy who maybe just finished his 3rd tour.  It's actually pretty cool to pick the job you want vice being told what job you will be doing! Tuesday night at 7pm CST, we will be talking with Tim “Sluggo” Bleidistel, a former Marine AV-8tor and current Airline pilot about his interesting tour in Iraq and the ultimate question we inevitability ask ourselves “What the hell am I doing? I don't even have to be here…” Standby for a great conversation with an outstanding Marine!Semper Fi Taco

    Swede, Swede, Swede, Swede!!!! For my 50th Podcast Tuesday the 14th at 7pm CST (1900), it's a real honor to have Pete Koch join me on Tall Tales with Taco!  He is going to talk about his time on a little movie that Marines love to quote, Heartbreak Ridge with Clint Eastwood.  At the time, Pete was a defensive end for the Kansas City Chiefs when he made his first venture into Hollywood.  He'll tell us about his time on set and his short stint as a “Recon Marine” and how this morphed into the classic character that we all love, Swede Johanson!!Please share this with your fellow Marine as I'll take some questions at the end of this live show for Pete.  If you don't catch it live, it's recorded on Facebook and YouTube, just google Tall Tales with Taco, hit subscribe for updates on future shows and hit the bell on Youtube as well.  Look forward to having you join on Tuesday!Semper Fi Taco
