Manage episode 402258459 series 3318965
We've re-released this episode, as an homage to Chuck Mawhinney, who we learned passed away last week. Chuck was our guest in Season Two (September 2023.) We were honored to have had a chance to speak with him and hear his story...Here it is again in case you missed it....
***
Chuck Mawhinney grew up hunting in the Oregon woods on his grandfather's farm, and was selected for sniper training his first day of shooting practice in the Marines. Serving in Vietnam for 16 months, he went on to post the Corps' highest number of confirmed kills (103), and the highest number of probable kills (216). Hear his journey of skill, survival and helping his fellow soldiers.
When he returned to the U.S. he was released from the Corps as part of the Reduction in Force policy. He returned to his native woods and made a stateside career in the U.S. Forestry Service.
Chuck is a legend in the Marines and an inspiration to many in the armed services. His own authentic account of his experience is a uniquely American one. Read more about his experience in Vietnam and afterward in his biography "The Sniper" by Jim Lindsay.
