George Mills has one of those career paths so unique that it’s almost hard to believe. He enlisted as an infantryman and soon found himself holding a Yankee White TS security clearance, which he later lost after an off-duty incident. From there, he moved on to the newly formed Anti-Terrorism Battalion for a deployment to Iraq before leaving the Corps to work as a contractor. Eventually, he missed the Marine Corps and joined 4th ANGLICO as a reservist, where he gained fire support experience across multiple deployments before becoming a JTAC with the Marine Raiders.Support the showhttps://www.jcramergraphics.comhttps://www.ANGLICOshop.comGeorge's sitehttps://divelogix-scuba.com/00:00:00 Intro | Military High School00:05:22 Joining Marine Infantry | Security Forces00:10:05 Presidential Security | Yankee White00:21:31 Security Forces vs Special Operations00:25:47 Fired From Presidential Security00:29:56 Anti-Terrorism Battalion00:33:44 Israeli Military Training00:40:33 Deployment to Iraq00:44:54 Afghan Culture Shock00:57:44 Security Contractor01:05:04 Iraq Contract Gig01:11:03 Rejoining the Marines | 4th ANGLICO01:36:43 MARSOC Fires01:43:51 Joining a Marine Special Operations Team (MSOT)01:54:28 MARSOC Fires vs ANGLICO
