Chris VanSant is a former Delta Force Operator & Army Ranger with 11 combat deployments and 20 years experience. VanSant took part in over 600 combat missions, including the capture of Saddam Hussein. In this episode, we'll cover his upbringing and his time in the Army Rangers & 82nd Airborne and how a DUI as a young recruit changed the course of his career.

We get an in-depth look at the grueling OTC / Delta Force training pipeline and find out what its like to go straight from training into an ongoing deployment in Afghanistan, where Chris would meet his team for the first time. We wrap up with the early days of the Invasion of Iraq - history in the making.
