Ep. 018 - SSgt Quentin Brown
This week I interview SSgt Quentin Brown who is a former Marine Fire Support Man and Joint Terminal Attack Controller. Quentin served with 5th ANGLICO, 11th Marines, 3rd LAR and Raider Battalion during his 8-year stint in the Marine Corps.We discuss his time living in Okinawa and his multiple deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere. The realities of working with different personalities are brought to light and a surprising revelation is made in the last portion of the interview.Quentin now lives in Ohio and works for three different fire departments and I look forward to our next interview.Website: www.jcramergraphics.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/jcramergraphicsInstagram: www.instagram.com/formeractionguysTwitter: https://twitter.com/4meractionguysFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jcramergraphics/Email: formeractionguyspodcast@gmail.comGlossary:7-Ton – Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement ANGLICO – Air Naval Gunfire Liaison CompanyBLT – Battalion Landing TeamEOD – Explosive Ordnance DisposalFCT – Firepower Control TeamGBU – Guided Bomb Unit GLT – Georgian Liaison Team (Georgian military advisors)Hesco Barrier – Earthen filled barriersHMMWV – High mobility multi-wheeled vehicleIED – Improvised Explosive DeviceJDAM – Joint Direct Attack Munition (GPS guided bomb)JTAC – Joint Terminal Attack ControllerM-ATV – MRAP All-terrain vehicleMRAP – Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (armored vehicle)RO – Radio OperatorSALT – Supporting Arms Liaison TeamS Shops – S-1 (Administration), S-2 (Intel), S-3 (Operations), S-4 (Logistics), S-6 (Communication)SVBIED – Suicide vehicle-borne improvised explosive deviceVBIED – Vehicle-borne improvised explosive device
