29:20Now PlayingFormer Navy SEAL Jake Zweig sits down with Mike, a former trainer within the top-secret U.S. Naval Marine Mammal Program.
Mike pulls back the curtain on what it was really like working with military dolphins and sea lions in San Diego. They separate myth from reality, addressing wild stories from BUD/S training, including the infamous "Clint Bruce dolphin incident."
In this episode, we dive into:
How smart military dolphins actually are (the answers might surprise you).
The incredible, almost telepathic connection Mike experienced while diving with a dolphin.
The truth about "weaponized" dolphins, anti-swimmer deterrents, and mine-hunting missions during the Vietnam and Vietnam eras.
Sea lion "attacks" and the dangers of working with wild marine mammals.
The future of the program: Are dolphins being replaced by underwater drones (ROVs/UUVs)?
How to get hired by the Marine Mammal Program today.
Whether you're interested in naval history, marine biology, or crazy military stories, this interview is a must-watch.
