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 - Intro 01:42 - BORTAC Loadouts & Tactical Gear 09:46 - Outsmarting the Smugglers 14:30 - Responding to Uvalde 17:51 - BORSTAR: Border Patrol Search, Trauma, & Rescue 22:50 - Avenging Brian Terry 38:04 - Human Atrocities 41:17 - People Processing 46:56 - Politics in a Border Crisis 56:20 - Notable Encounters 01:01:45 - Recruiting At Any Age 01:07:48 - Going Hollywood 01:16:16 - What's Next? ---------- Support Erin Switzer - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jammer_actual ---------- Sponsors: MUD/WTR Go to https://www.mudwtr.com/mikedrop to support the show and use code MIKEDROP for 15% off! ---------- BioProtein Use code: mikedrop to save $30 on your first order at https://www.biorproteintech.com ---------- BUBS Naturals The BUBS namesake derives from Glen ‘BUB’ Doherty, who was heroically killed in Benghazi, Libya in 2012.
