BORTAC Spec Ops Marine Erin 'Jammer' Switzer - Part Two | Mike Ritland Podcast Episode 146

BORTAC: Border Patrol Tactical Unit. An elite arm of the United States Border Patrol, BORTAC works in conjunction with other law enforcement departments to stop criminals, catch smugglers, and protect the U.S. from dangers at home and away. Just take it from Erin 'Jammer' Switzer - he's been a part of BORTAC for years. And the border isn't the only place he's smashing heads - he's also appeared in Call of Duty and Amazon's 'The Terminal List' too. But what exactly does BORTAC do? How do they operate? And what are the boundaries of their jurisdiction, if they have any at all? Fortunately, Jammer's got the answers. ----------Chapters:00:00 - Intro01:42 - BORTAC Loadouts & Tactical Gear09:46 - Outsmarting the Smugglers14:30 - Responding to Uvalde17:51 - BORSTAR: Border Patrol Search, Trauma, & Rescue22:50 - Avenging Brian Terry38:04 - Human Atrocities41:17 - People Processing46:56 - Politics in a Border Crisis56:20 - Notable Encounters01:01:45 - Recruiting At Any Age01:07:48 - Going Hollywood01:16:16 - What's Next?----------Support Erin Switzer - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jammer_actual----------Sponsors: MUD/WTRGo to https://www.mudwtr.com/mikedrop to support the show and use code MIKEDROP for 15% off!----------BioProteinUse code: mikedrop to save $30 on your first order at https://www.biorproteintech.com----------BUBS NaturalsThe BUBS namesake derives from Glen ‘BUB’ Doherty, who was heroically killed in Benghazi, Libya in 2012.
