even the a candidate for Special Forces selection assessment so when I first came in I went to the long-range reconnaissance element which was an Phidias team which I went to the marina did his reconnaissance school Rangers and and Lursa leaders course when I when I made the rank of e5 that's when you start getting qualified - to even apply for the Special Forces and it's a lot of academics they want this smarter more intelligent more mature soldier I was very young though but they my commander believed in me where he wrote a waiver for me to apply for business special forces and I applied for it and eventually made my way through selection got selected and and went through the Special Forces qualification course which was around a year long and that's not including advanced infiltration training and and language and skills look down so that was one long year that was a very long year-and-a-half process to get to the teams and eventually I made my way to Okinawa Japan which I was assigned to 18 which is operational guys that would go throughout Asia this was first Special Forces Group we will go throughout Asia we would help anybody who's in need will fight terrorism hostage rescue missions which is called upon the doing so from Japan after that which country you went right after Japan after they assign you which so when Japan was our headquarters that's where we were kind of located and then if anything was to happen throughout Asia we would rapidly deploy to that country and will affect that country so my areas that I've been through into almost every country out in Asia and I worked out there and after 9/11 after it attacked on our Twin Towers in New York we were called upon to go into the Philippines or we combat Abu Sayyaf and fought against them protected the Christians in the southern regions of the Philippines were there any one hospitalized during that mission with these immediate friends who went with you and yeah yeah unfortunately I lost a few friends along the way we lost lost friends in the Philippines and a lot of other countries we kind of go to you so now the show that you and cousin are working on together you have you get like [ __ ] said massive resume and then you don't have massive resume so how did you both sit down I come together sit down and plan out what you're going to do and what you're going to do to make this show like practical and common ordinary people like us like me can watch and learn from this like who who decide to do what and what sort of training you guys like take on to show that the fans and the viewers yeah so it's it was a combined effort between Cong it was it was actually comes vision on being a former Special Forces team member I always seek to to help and there's always a bigger purpose right there's always a bigger purpose than just serving yourself and and being in your little confined world that's what propelled me to go into all these countries and to liberate and help you know those oppressed so within the Special Forces we have a Model D oppressor library which is a salon for we we freed oppressed right so I took that oath at a very young age one was in my 20s and it kept it stayed with me throughout my whole life and living in Japan I became very spiritual in the Eastern philosophies and the higher purpose and when I got out I knew like my my direction was to go around and teach law enforcement help cévennes military and that's where I was going started my own company called Ronan tactics and when I met Kong Kong's like hey you know I want to start this show to help pass victims and instantly I felt like that's the higher purpose right so I was propelled to help you know any way I could and that's where it kind of led to some what happen if two said no to you with you would you just walk away and look for another Vietnamese Americans special forces or you would just continue to pursue to to do the show what if I said first of all when when I looked at the big picture a lot of a lot of Hollywood producer friends of mine were like Conan do you need more white people on the show right and I wasn't like like you know I was a little bit offended but at the same time I know because they've done it and this was like my first time really controlling a whole project and I basically started like I said interviewed a lot of different characters in the Special Forces and when I talked to - he was so humble and he basically broke down how he would help instead of what he would do himself so because for me I didn't understand like what he would you know his his mission was in in in life until he explained it to me but at the same time I knew that I can't teach the general public the civilians what I do so I had to bring in the expert to help me help them what I do I think there's not a lot of people that want to do what I do because they'll be very sore and it'll take a long time recover right and like I'm like I'm a professional fighter I'm not like I'm just like you if we're in a movie theater and an active shooter comes in I don't have a gun and I'm not bulletproof so I become like every civilian so I took on the role of the student and I want to ask all the questions that everyone would ask what what if you know if I was in this situation what would I do how would I escape how would I survive and the best person that came to me I believe I'm very religious and I asked for help from God and he like all our paths clock I didn't have to worry about to say nah I'm not going to do it it just happened and how things are happening and how the first show went and how are the firt the second show has gone if it shouldn't even be going right now it sped up a lot of things like there was a lot of roadblocks because I think something powerful like this of course the dark power is out there want to stop it and the good powers helped it pushed it through and now we're we got this amazing show even the walk has anointed us a plug about our show and all the guys from the raid and and it's just the start and your endo asked Afghans initial so so I fill that with two I tried not to be like I'm just going to take the white guy I'm going to pick the best guy for the show the best mentor for the show and it happened to be two and he happened to be Vietnamese which is great so what I had to do is surround us with a lot of Caucasian people and it happened to be a lot of Caucasian victims and so now the irony about this is the US troops came in and we were refugees so in a way they helped us and we're alive because a lot of them sacrificed their life and a lot of them were injured and a lot of them you know suffered from you know war and now if two Asian guys giving back and all the victims happen to be white yes and two Asian guys happen to be two Vietnamese Americans Yellin took of a single V having said we long to my language BTN Jim place that you like suffered one town
