Major James Capers ran 50 missions in Vietnam as a Force Recon Marine — combat swims in shark-infested waters, a POW rescue that earned him his first Purple Heart and Bronze Star, and a four-day battle that left him wounded with his legs broken and his dog dead. He was one of the few African Americans in Force Recon, and fought his way into Combat Swimmer school when the commanding officer tried to send him home before he even started. He spent three months at Khe Sanh facing a Chinese division, and when the helicopter finally came in on his bloodiest mission, he put every man on board and stayed on the ground alone. President Trump called him personally to invite him to the White House to receive the Medal of Honor. In this episode, Major Capers walks through the missions and what it cost him to bring everybody home.

Do it right, or don't do it at all. In episode 179, Nick Koumalatsos returns to Veteran Made to talk about his work as a consulting producer on The Punisher: One Last Kill and his collaboration with Jon Bernthal to bring Frank Castle back to the screen with honesty, weight, and realism. Nick shares how his own background as a Force Recon Marine and special operations veteran helped shape the character, from the tactical details to the deeper emotional truth of a man who has lost his identity, his purpose, and the people who mattered most to him. We talk about how Nick's book, Excommunicated Warrior, influenced parts of Frank's arc, why the story needed to show rock bottom instead of explain it, and what it means to portray veterans and special operations service members as human beings rather than untouchable icons. We also get into the craft behind the film itself — working with Jon Bernthal and the stunt team to build realistic action sequences, refining weapons manipulation and close quarter combat, and understanding the difference between what is real in life and what reads as real on camera. This is a conversation about transition, accountability, purpose, brotherhood, pain, and the responsibility of telling these stories the right way in the most grounded depiction of a modern veteran in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Marine Recon veteran Rob Blanton sits down with Urban Valor to share one of the wildest, funniest, and most honest Marine Corps stories we've ever had on the channel. From growing up in Santa Rosa, California, to joining the United States Marine Corps almost by accident, to becoming a Force Recon Marine.Rob served in the Marine Corps from 1993 to 2014, retiring as a Master Sergeant. In this interview, he walks us through the chaos of joining the Marines on the buddy program, getting stuck on open contract, becoming an 0311 infantryman, earning his way into Force Recon, and eventually deploying into some of the most intense moments of modern military history.
What if the very battles you’re trying to avoid the most… are the ones God wants to use to build you the most? In this powerful backstage conversation from the Ignite Men’s Impact Weekend, Drs. Zach and Tim Clinton sit down with former Force Recon Marine, best-selling author, MMA champion, and renowned leader, Chad Robichaux, to talk about resilience, courage, and the kind of strength that is forged through adversity. Chad’s story is marked by intense trials, hard seasons, and moments that could have broken him, but instead became the foundation for purpose. Together, we unpack what it means to stop running from adversity and start partnering with it: to see hardship not as something working against you, but something shaping you into the man you’re called to become. We also address one of the greatest threats facing men today: passivity.Chad shares why drifting, disengagement, and avoidance quietly destroy purpose, and how choosing courage, responsibility, and community can radically change the trajectory of your life. This conversation is a call to step up, to lean into discomfort, to embrace the process, to reject passivity, and to become the kind of man who is built through the fire, not in spite of it, but because of it. If you’ve been walking through a hard season, feeling stuck, or tempted to check out, this episode will challenge you to re-engage, reframe your adversity, and rediscover your purpose.Links: Visit Chad’s Website: https://chadrobichaux.com/ Watch/Listen to The Resilient Show: https://chadrobichaux.com/resilient-show Find Out More About The Mighty Oaks Foundation: https://www.mightyoaksprograms.org/ Purchase One of Chad’s Best-Selling Books: https://chadrobichaux.com/store Find Clinically Excellent, Distinctively Christian Help, Hope, & Healing Today: https://christiancareconnect.com/ Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Tyler Grey, former Delta Force operator, Ranger, sniper, actor, and one of Hollywood's most trusted military advisors, tells Chad Robichaux the full story behind SEAL Team, Suicide Squad, The Gray Man with Ryan Gosling, and the near-fatal Iraq raid that ended his military career 20 seconds from bleeding out.In this episode of The Resilient Show, Tyler and Chad go deep on the Delta Force selection process (the Long Walk), what "calm in chaos" really means at the Tier 1 level, why Tyler calls Hollywood "the largest psyops campaign in the history of the world," and his original theory that most combat veterans don't have PTSD, they have LTSD (Lack of Traumatic Stress Disorder). A concept Tyler coined after spending 3–4 years working out why the standard diagnosis never fit him or the guys around him.Tyler also opens up about the MAC makeup store moment that broke him after Delta Force, the four things every veteran loses when they transition out (purpose, identity, brotherhood, worth), the 45 seconds he had left to live on a back patio in Sadr City, why Ryan Gosling is "the single best shooter I've ever taught," the "trophies" every high-performer collects to cover a self-worth wound, and his new company that's about to launch a pistol sight that's will change the game.TYLER GREY'S BOOK:- Forged in Chaos (paperback + audiobook narrated by Tyler): https://a.co/d/06ddsXfN FOLLOW TYLER GREY:- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tyleragrey- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tyleragreyCHAD ROBICHAUX'S NEW BOOK — "RIPTIDE":- https://www.tyndale.com/p/riptide/9781496488756THE RESILIENT SHOW is hosted by former Force Recon Marine and Mighty Oaks Foundation founder Chad Robichaux.

Eight Deployments, One Mission: Chad Robichaux and the Call to Never Quit What an incredible guest we have on this week's Team Never Quit Podcast. Marcus engages in a compelling discussion with former Force Recon Marine, Chad Robichaux. With eight deployments to Afghanistan as part of a Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) Task Force, Chad overcame his personal battles with PTSD after nearly becoming a veteran suicide statistic. Chad is the founder of the Mighty Oaks Foundation, serving the active duty, military veteran and first responder communities around the world with highly successful faith-based combat trauma and resiliency programs. He has spoken to over 450,000 active-duty troops and led life-saving programs for over 4,600 active military and veterans at four Mighty Oaks Ranches around the U.S. He has served as an advisor to former President Trump, Congress, the VA, and the Department of Defense. Another one of Chad's personal endeavors, Save Our Allies, is focused on the evacuation and recovery of Americans, our allies and vulnerable people still trapped in Afghanistan. His original mission was to rescue his long-time friend and Afghanistan interpreter, but the mission quickly evolved because of Chad's compassion for people and his servant heart. Since its inception, Save Our Allies has safely evacuated over 17,000 people that were trapped in Afghanistan and he is now helping in Ukraine. As if that weren't enough, Chad is a lifelong martial artist. He holds a 4th degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt and is a former Professional Mixed Martial Arts Champion having competed at the highest levels of the sport. In this episode you will hear: • My family has 84 years of military service. (11:27) • I was raised in a very dysfunctional home because my father never recovered from Vietnam. (13:15) • Our operation was compromised and I ended up being abducted. (26:53) • On the surface, everything seemed fine. Then I crashed, had an affair, filed for divorce, and attempted to take my life. The some amazing people came around me and helped us to restore my family and my faith. (30:38) • I tried to build the courage to take my life and I had my Glock 40 caliber pistol, but I was interrupted, and it was enough to pump the brakes. (31:18) • My wife asked me: “How can you do all you did in the military, but when it comes to your family, you'll quit?” (32:23) • You're gonna deal with anxiety, depression, and anger, but you could respond to it in a better way that could lead you to a better place. (35:35) • God's like a centerpiece solution, because a lot of what we deal with are spiritual wounds. (36:29) • President Bush signed the Opportunity for Faith Mission in 2001, then in 2009, President Obama signed a policy to override that, and take funding away from faith-based programs. (49:47) • In Afghanistan, people couldn't go in to help, but in Ukraine you could drive a bus across the border to do mass evacs. (52:07) • I've been getting a lot of heat like: Why are you going over there to help – the governments is corrupt. None of that matters. These people didn't ask for any of this. They're being invaded by a super power. (54:48) • Glen Beck (Radio Show Host) raised 21 million dollars to support our mission. (72:41) • The White House said there were 100 Americans left [in Afghanistan] but without debate there were thousands of Americans still there. (75:27) • You don't leave Americans behind. The White even promised that they wouldn't but they did. (76:34)
Edward Ford and Alan Chiasson came to Afghanistan with long résumés in uniform and out. Ford was a Force Recon Marine with combat tours in the Gulf War, Somalia, Iraq, and Afghanistan before moving into high-end security contracting. Chiasson was a Navy Hospital Corpsman and Texas paramedic who'd spent years providing high-risk medical support on PSD and convoy details in Iraq and Afghanistan. When the private security firm SOC (Special Operations Consulting) expanded its mobile operations in Afghanistan, both men ended up on armored Ford F-550 gun trucks running some of the most dangerous roads in the country. At first, their teams hauled critical supplies—ammo, fuel, food, equipment—to isolated Special Forces sites and small outposts the regular military couldn't cover. Then SOC picked up the Department of Defense contract to move something that sounded almost ordinary: the mail. Ford, Chiasson, and their teammates suddenly became the unofficial “Pony Express” of Afghanistan, hauling letters and care packages from Kabul and Bagram along the notorious Ring Road to places like Ghazni, Sharana, Orgun-E, and tiny dirt compounds with nothing but Hesco walls and a few tents. Troops took the mail for granted; few ever thought about the chain of convoys and gun trucks that got a letter from a stateside mailbox to a cot in Kandahar. Postcards Through Hell tells that story from the inside. The “Pony Express” ran four teams in a three-on, one-off rotation so three could be on the road at any time. One team took the long hauls, another ran the shorter Kabul ring route while standing QRF, and a third trained, refit, and got ready to swap in. A “good” day might mean an 18-hour, thousand-kilometer push with no major incidents—what they jokingly called the “Thousand Kilometer Club.” Most days weren't like that. They drove flat-bottom F-550s with level-seven armor and twin turrets, strong against small arms but vulnerable to anything placed directly underneath. Once the Taliban figured out that weakness, a well-buried mine or IED under the chassis could flip a truck or tear it in half. The book is anchored in specific days and events. Ford saved incident reports, op orders, and run paperwork; Chiasson kept a journal. Together they rebuilt a timeline that lets them write, “On April 30 we were here; on May 1 this happened,” instead of “sometime that spring.” Around those convoy stories they layer the wider war: the Camp Chapman suicide bombing; Special Forces “kill teams” at outposts like Ramrod; Italian forces paying the Taliban not to attack them, which meant somebody else—often the Pony Express—became the target. They were there when other contractor convoys got hit, when friends died in F-550s blown apart by stacked anti-tank mines, and when gun trucks limped back into Kabul with wounded men inside and burned-out hulks left behind on the road. Their daily life was built around a simple idea: keep your brothers alive. When they weren't running missions, they were on QRF. When they weren't on QRF, they were working out. When they weren't working out, they were training. They ate together, lived on top of each other in cramped villas and compounds, and used the long Afghan “fighting season”—April through October—to sort out who really belonged there. The easy-sounding mail run weeded people out fast. Some new hires lasted one fighting season, some one mission, some one week. Others stayed for years, until they hit what Ford calls “the wall”—that private moment when you look at a body on a slab, or feel age and accumulated blast damage catching up with you, and decide it's time to go home. Postcards Through Hell doesn't ignore the business side of contracting. Ford and Chiasson talk frankly about companies weighing the cost of vehicle upgrades against death-benefit payouts, replacing seasoned expatriate drivers with cheaper local nationals, and relying on Afghan “expediters” whose loyalties sometimes ran in more than one direction. The story doesn't end when the convoys stop. The contract itself ran, under different companies, into 2016, and Ford and Chiasson had to cut whole chapters from the book because of classified work and units involved. At heart, Postcards Through Hell is a book about a very unglamorous, absolutely vital piece of America's longest war. We're grateful to UPMC for Life for sponsoring this event!

Out here on California's rangelands, we talk a lot about stewardship—the responsibility to care for the land so it can continue to sustain generations to come. But sometimes, the land gives something back to us in return: peace, perspective, and a place to heal.This month, as we pause to honor the men and women who have served our nation on Veterans Day, we're reminded that coming home can often be one of the toughest battles they will ever face. That's where the Mighty Oaks Foundation steps in. Founded by Chad Robichaux, a former Force Recon Marine and veteran advocate, the organization helps warriors find hope and restoration through faith, brotherhood, and connection—all grounded in the healing power of the land.In this episode of Tuned in to the Land, CEO and host Michael Delbar sits down with Chad for a powerful and deeply honest conversation about service, healing, and the restorative role that open spaces and working lands can play.Throughout the episode, Chad shares his personal journey, including the challenges he faced after military service, living with PTSD, and the role that faith played as he worked to rebuild his life. That process eventually led him to form Mighty Oaks, drawing on what he learned and what he wished had existed for others walking a similar road. His story is raw and real, and while parts of the conversation are heavy (a heads up to our listeners), it underscores the profound impact that support, community, faith, and time spent on the land can have in helping people find their way back to hope.Want to learn more?

The streets are alive, the media is spinning, and the people are speaking. With 650,000 showing up nationwide, the “No Kings” protests are impossible to ignore—but the narrative being sold to you is full of lies. From Seattle's bizarre “LICE agents” rolling on the Constitution to clueless protesters repeating talking points, we break down the chaos and show what the mainstream won't.Then, we go behind the scenes with Joseph Teti, former Force Recon Marine, Green Beret, and CIA Ground Branch operative. He'll reveal the truth about covert operations in Venezuela, Title 50 black ops, and the real risks of America's “America First” rhetoric. Plus, Teti shares why schools rejected his free safety program—a program that could've saved lives—exposing the failures of bureaucracy and inaction.Finally, we confront the real crises hitting Americans at home: frozen EBT benefits, government shutdown chaos, and the surge in human trafficking tearing families apart. From viral social media meltdowns to border failures, we call out the system letting predators walk free while the vulnerable suffer. This is a show about truth, tactics, and taking action—Joe Untamed cuts through the noise and delivers the reality the mainstream won't.
On today's episode, Andy & DJ are joined in the studio by Author, speaker, and former Force Recon Marine and DoD Contractor, Chad Robichaux. They discuss Trump telling The Post that he'll visit the Middle East after the ceasefire agreement, Candace Owens discussing Charlie Kirk's last text messages, and Trump considering invoking the Insurrection Act against lawless Governors and Mayors.
In this episode, Jason walks us through his early life in Indonesia, growing up as the child of American Missionaries. He attended boarding school after the age of 6 and eventually was fully immersed in the local culture. His family stayed for 16 years to bring Christianity to new cultures. Jason went on to join the Marine Corps and worked as a Force Recon Marine with 2nd Force Recon. We discuss living a purpose-driven life, writing, and taking the risks necessary for a fulfilling human experience.
Jeff Stanfield and Andy Shaver are joined by Aaron Moore, retired Force Recon Marine and author of the new apocalyptic novel Fractured States. The story imagines an EMP strike that collapses the U.S. power grid, forcing a former Marine to fight his way home from the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. Aaron shares what inspired his leap into writing after 22 years in the Marine Corps, how his deployments shaped the realism in his storytelling, and why America's infrastructure may be more vulnerable than most realize. The guys also dive into prepping, survival, and how fast society can unravel when the lights go out.

Green Beret Terry Wilson spent nearly two years “getting engaged every day” in Afghanistan's Helmand Province, but lives to share the battle-tested resilience secrets that carried him through daily firefights, a shoot-down rescue, three felony charges, and the heartbreaking loss of his son.In this two-hour sit-down with Force Recon Marine turned host Chad Robichaux, Terry opens up about Special Forces selection, surviving a CH-47 crash, leading an ODA under constant contact in Kajaki Sofla, wrestling with PTSD and survivor's guilt, and rebuilding life through faith, fitness, and intentional fatherhood. If you're searching for real-world lessons on purpose, mental toughness, or veteran transition, this conversation delivers.Follow Terry: https://www.instagram.com/terry.m.wilson.jrRESILIENT:Live Resilient Store: https://theresilientshow.com/live-resilient-storeJoin Our Patreon: https://patreon.com/theresilientshowFollow Us On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/resilientshowFollow Us On Twitter: https://twitter.com/resilientshowFollow Us On TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@resilientshowFollow Chad:https://www.instagram.com/chadrobo_officialhttps://www.x.com/chadroboSPONSORS:Smith & Wesson: https://www.smith-wesson.com/Vortex Optics:https://vortexoptics.comGatorz Eyewear: https://www.gatorz.com/Allied Wealth:https://alliedwealth.comBioPro+: https://www.bioproteintech.com/CHAD30BioXCellerator:https://www.bioxcellerator.comThe Holy Waters:https://theholywaters.comGet The Resilient Show x Uncharted Supply Co Bag: https://liveresilient.com/shopTRS is a proud supporter of military & first responder communities in partnership with Mighty Oaks Foundation.
President Trump brokers a historic ceasefire between Israel and Iran. Although the agreement was made, Israel still chose to drop bombs on Iran before the 12 hour window closed. This put the deal on shaky legs and President Trump rebuked both Iran and Israel for the attack after the deal had been done. Iran has upset Qatar and other neighbors, so their options are running thin. Today Dr. Seb Gorka takes us inside the White House to get a play by play of how things went down. Operation Midnight Hammer was Top Gun Maverick on steroids, as B-2 bombers dropped 12 bunker buster bombs on Iran's nuclear sites. Even as the online community went up in arms, just days later, President Trump brought a peace deal, showing that he is not a forever war president. In case you haven't been paying attention, the attack on Fordow sends a message to regimes and dictators. President Trump will deliver overwhelming precision force to protect Americans and American interests, just like he did when he took out Sulemani and the chemical weapons plant in Syria. Chad Robichaux, a former Force Recon Marine, takes us inside the mission planning, the brilliance and sophisticated execution from the joint forces. The leadership of President Trump and Pete Hegseth is inspiring young men and women around the country. As Hegseth has brought back the warrior ethos, U.S. military recruiting is at a high. Chad unpacks how sleeper cells may be activated inside the U.S. and how you and your loved ones can stay prepared.

Aziz was more than an interpreter for our guest Chad Robichaux, a Force Recon Marine, during his eight deployments to Afghanistan. He was a teammate, brother, and friend. More than once, Aziz saved his life. And then he needed someone to save him. When President Joe Biden announced in April 2021 that the United States would be making a hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan, our guest knew he had to get Aziz and his family out before Taliban forces took over the country. Join us to hear a gripping account of two heroes and a daring mission that put human hearts and names alongside the headlines of one of the most harrowing moments in our history.

As we keep charging into the New Year where many of us have big dreams, goals, and resolutions for 2025, it is important that we are also reminded that anything worth value in this life will come at a cost. Today, we’re joined by someone who understands the ultimate cost - someone who understands sacrifice, discipline, and mental toughness and who can help turn your commitments into consistency. Joining us today is Chad Robichaux. Chad is a highly decorated former Force Recon Marine and Department of Defense Contractor with eight deployments to Afghanistan as part of a Joint Special Operations Command Task Force.

Tonight's guest is Ret. Maj. Bruce “Doc” Norton served two tours to Vietnam as a member of USMC Force Recon. Much of the episode covers Doc's experiences in Vietnam, which included conducting more than 25 long-range reconnaissance patrols. After Vietnam, he received his commission, and served as a Marine Infantry Officer until retirement in 1992. After the military, Doc worked as the Director of the Marine Corps' Command Museum, has authored 13+ books, including his latest project, “Voices From Vietnam,” a book/playwright modeled after Tom Brokhaw's “Greatest Generation Speaks.” Voices From Vietnam is scheduled to release this November on Veteran's Day. History Highlights: 1). Family military lineage that dates back to the American Revolution. 2). The legend of Clover “Bucky” Coffman — He received a Battlefield Commission to 1st Lieutenant … When Doc met him, Bucky had earned the Navy Cross, 3x Silver Stars, 5x Bronze Stars, and 7x Purple Hearts… 3). Discussion about setting up Harbor Sights in the bush — which sometimes included making coffee with C-4 explosives in the mornings. 4). Jungle penetrators, ladders, and SPIE rigs used to evacuate recon troops from the jungle quickly. 5). Gurkha-style ambushes to capture a HVT on a trail and a real close-call. 6). Story of a Force Recon Marine tragically killed by a tiger. 7). Voices From Vietnam book/playwright and Doc's other history books. 8). Favorite galleries and exhibits at the US Marine Corps' Command Museum.

Our assignment is to honor the Lord and use our lives for His purposes, wherever He places us. In this message, Pastor Allen Jackson offers three powerful examples of this as he interviews Chad Robichaux, Kayleigh McEnany, and Eric Metaxas. As a former Force Recon Marine, a New York Times Bestselling author, and a former Press Secretary for President Donald Trump, they each have very different callings on their lives, but there is a unifying quality in all three. They are each willing to lay down their lives and allow God to use their talents, abilities, and life experiences to strengthen the people around them and our nation. As they share their stories, we see different types of courage the Church desperately needs.

On today's episode, Dennis speaks with former Force Recon Marine, DoD Contractor with eight deployments to Afghanistan, Author and Founder of Mighty Oaks Foundation, Chad Robichaux. Chad is a former Force Recon Marine and DoD Contractor with eight deployments to Afghanistan as part of a Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) Task Force. After overcoming his personal battles with PTSd and nearly becoming a veteran suicide statistic, Chad founded the Mighty Oaks Foundation, a leading non-profit, serving the active duty, military veteran and first responder communities around the world with highly successful faith-based combat trauma and resiliency programs. Having spoken to over 400,000 active-duty troops and led life-saving programs for over 4,500 active military and veterans at four Mighty Oaks Ranches around the Nation, Chad has become a go-to resource and is considered a subject matter expert on faith-based solutions to PTSd, having advised the former Presidential Administration, Congress, the VA, the DoD, and was appointed to serve as the Chairman of a White House Veterans Coalition. Chad is also the Co-Founder of Save Our Allies, a non-profit that's mission is focused on the evacuation and recovery of Americans, our allies and vulnerable people trapped in Afghanistan. Save Our Allies began as a personal quest for Chad, as he set out to rescue his long-time friend and Afghanistan interpreter, but the mission quickly evolved because of Chad's compassion for people and his servant heart. Since its inception, Save Our Allies has safely evacuated over 17,000 people that were trapped in Afghanistan and is now helping in Ukraine. Chad is a bestselling author and has written a number of books related to veteran care and overcoming life's challenges, donating over 250,000 copies to the troops during his resiliency speaking tours. He is regularly featured on national media outlets and his story was notably shared in a short film by I Am Second and the documentary, Never Fight Alone. Currently, a life-story motion picture movie is being produced based on Chad's #1 best-selling book, An Unfair Advantage. Today, Chad discusses his story that led him to join the Marines at 17 years old, war stories of the Afghan War, his rescue missions throughout his career and why he continues that mission today and the importance of having compassion for those in need.
