About this listen

Combat Special Missions Aviator Anthony Dyer joins me to talk about his new book MOON CHILD: THE ROOTS AND WINGS OF A USAF COMBAT SPECIAL MISSIONS AVIATOR, his time in combat high in the skies above the Middle-East, his transition from active duty to civilian life, and what he is doing to help fellow veterans like himself to make the move and find their identity post-service.Anthony spent times in several of the Air Force's and SOCOMs most elite units, including the 16th SOS as a previously titled "door gunner" until the Air Force converted the career field over to a "Combat Special Missions Aviator" where he took on tons more responsibility. He's got flight hours in the AC-130, HH-60, and the UH-1, and was apart of the team awarded the "Jolly Green Mission of the Year" in 2018.
