Call of Duty. The Terminal List. In the entertainment world, Erin 'Jammer' Switzer is already a stud - and that's without mentioning his service record. Throughout his career, Erin spent 23 years in the special operations community after serving as a Reconnaissance Marine, where he worked alongside several K9 teams and developed a passion for working dogs. Eventually, he adopted Rex, who would eventually land roles Call of Duty, The Terminal List, and more, along with joining him in his work at BORTAC, one of the United States' elite Border Patrol special operations divisions.
Safe to say, there's an awful lot to talk about when it comes to Erin Switzer. And that's not all - he brought Rex to the studio, too.

  • One of my strongest wishes for people is to experience a soul-level bond with a dog with a high level of cognition (working breeds, in my experience) like we see in this video. Thanks Erin, for sharing your story, and Mike for having him on!

  • Disappointing no conversation on what BORTAC did, and did not do, at Ulvade. It has been shown that they took their time entering the school as well as everyone else. Also, disappointing is the non answer on what is happening on the border.

    • ​​@@xprettylightsx3781that haven't been caught. I live on the Tex/Mex border and BORTAC does have operators on the cartels payroll. I've hung out with a couple of them at private skeet shooting events hosted by local corrupt politicians and Ive heard them talk "business." They love coke more than your average drug user. Not just BORTAC, BORSTAR also. Believe me overall border protection is a tough job to do because of the trust issues between coworkers.

    • ​@@ELBigBossMK23that's fvcking crazy, are you serious or just talking? I find it hard to believe that happens tbh... Reason is because I've looked into how to join border patrol and it's tough af just to join, crazy background checks and weird interviews etc... I find it hard to believe people in border patrol in general do that kind of sht. If it's true, that's fvcked.
