BORTAC Spec Ops Marine Erin 'Jammer' Switzer - Part One | Mike Ritland Podcast Episode 145
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!
That's a well behaved dog to just chill while you two talk that long.
@54:00 dog is poking around Mike’s desk
Thanks for uploading these badass interviews on Sundays. Helps me get through work
Hey bro, you should get Vincent “Roco” Vargas on your podcast. Roco. Army ranger, used to be a BORSTAR Agent and now on the motorcycle Mayans tv show. That dude will say it as it is.
Thanks brothers. Excellent 👍💯💪
I like how low key this pod is. Good for when I can’t sleep
Yes I don’t know about everybody else but all the way through this video I was thinking this should be a two-part. There’s just so much to take in and talk about. Love the show!
You had me at doggie on the set today....thanks for your service....no. no......the dog guys....the dog🤙😎🤙
💯💜
Part of my routine for the week.
Super cool to see and hear about BORTAC. Definitely a good episode 🤙
This is the AO we be needing to talk about
I liked how the dog looked over at Mike a few times, it knew Mike could look into its soul.
“You have beard like dad so give treats n’ pets like dad? Throw stuff, too?”
Great interview. I look forward to part 2. I hope we hear about Rex's favorite childhood memory and the last book he read. 😊
Another great interview. Loved seeing the puppy!
A great listen. Thank you for your service both Bravo 6 going dark!
I’m about to go to the border patrol academy , ive been trying to find something good on KZhead about bortac for a while glad this came out
Keep your eye on the larger goal. Which is protecting the Country you love. God Speed.
Good luck and be safe 🇺🇸
Talk to your pt instructors when you go to the Academy. Try running a 6 min per mile pace 100 pu 100 su. I personally would train like I'm going to SFAS.
Thank you for your future service!

Love this episode
God Bless The Mike Drop Podcast God Bless America 🇺🇸
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.
How did you already see part 2?
Oh well
Where did you read that BORTAC took their time? Everything I've seen is that they were further than the normal cops, and the dude got budytas soon as they arrived. They are the ones who killed the shooter.
something definitely didn't seem quite right about this guy and all of his generalizations, oversimplification, and question evasion..🤔
He can’t talk about a lot of that because he’s still employed by them. You have to watch what you say or you can get in serious trouble specially with this administration.
He’s awesome and I want to hear more about Rex🥰🥰🥰
I have no problem with ads. I understand completely that it helps you
Erin is a good dude…❤
Interested in joining BORTAC. Thanks for this episode. Much appreciated.
These are unbelievable interviews, your op tempo for question asking is phenomenal. Where your Pulitzer Mike?
I love your contents.
Great video
Great podcast. But my favorite part was how much that dog loves his owner.
🔥🔥🔥🤣Great show, need to get Jevin Holland on there sometime….and Drago.
What’s your morning routine ?? “ I wake up and piss excellence”
Mike it looks like an interview with Rex might be very interesting! ❤
The overall point of law enforcement is to protect investigate etc. because others don’t want to. He’s human, nothing wrong with.
1st patriots!!!
Can't stop laughing about the "summer" ad!
0:47 Dude, that pupper barking at where dad is shooting just made my fucking day.
Good interesting podcast about something you don’t hear much about.
The wooden spoon survivor here in England broke few more dumb than hard laughter never clever 🥊 great to see 2 dog men have a natter that a lovely K9 🐾🐾🐾
One of those ads caught me off guard 😂
I’ve never seen a Malinois sit still for that long lol
I fell asleep with auto play on after work and woke up to a 4 year old podcast I like what I heard
Love to know how much grief you get from your former teammates regarding your Manscapes commercial. 😆
Smooth sack summer 2023! I hear ya! Party hardy!
Rex: I sense a dog University Dean Rrrrrrrrrritland
Who needs a weapon with that mustache 😂
Dude after tonight’s with John my god- eye opener. Radness - sorry I’m late to the podcast
BORTAC, BORSTAR, and AMO GTAC are going to be big news after PA. A big shout out to Yoda!
Lol they've been doing that. They actually shot an escaped convict in upstate several years ago and they're still relatively unknown.
Live and learn my friend.
💪🏾💪🏾
All good in the view. 😎🤘
wife possibly saved him from fallujah... incredible.
Nothing stops an EMT. The law is written as equality. To be drawn to factually become employed as law enforcement is fun.
Another great show thank you to all. I really need help finding a good Belgian Mal preferably a puppy maybe you you can’t help me or get me in contact with someone Mike that would absolutely awesome thank you for all you do and to all the guests and there amazing stories that help 👊🏻
I think I was the very first view definitely in the top 10! That’s a first
You got a cousin pal bevilacqua rings a bell. Oh that’s right he’s passed now I thought tiny and big pussy took care of that thing.

Rex is a good looking dog.
Control yourself, beastiality is still a crime.
I am thinking of applying for BP. Coming from Wildland Firefighting I'm weary of the lengthy process or no control over stuff such as a polygraph etc so I'm on the fence.
That grazing neck wound illustrates survival is an arbitrary game of inches.
Curious why it takes so long between episodes with the same guest? I keep checking for part 2, but nothing yet.
When someone tells you what they do without saying what they do lol joking great episode as always Mike Ritland is the man ☕️ 🇺🇸🦅🦮🐕🦺
mike you the realest!!!!
That’s a good dude
Mike if you wrote that manscaped add your not getting paid enough . Hahahahaha
Bode’s ear is flipped signaling hear. All good.
Better than Joe Rogan
Anybody is better than Joe Rogan. Dude still hasn't even. Ame out the closet.
@@YOURMOMCALLSMEcalm down soy boys. That man would fold your clothes with you still in them 😂
Ask how many employees get turned by the "cartel" .??
Great question . In Bortac prolly none.
@@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.
@@ELBigBossMK23So... If you know names...? I'll toss up a throw away email or phone number. Hit it up and share?
Looks like he'd be related to Pat Mac.
What up Ritland - kicked off FB until oct. 25.
Not that the two guys aren't interesting , but DOG!🐕💯
Let’s his wife tell him to get out haha love ya warrior
Make sure you get ahold of Jennifer G.
Fire fighters can arrest as well as others.
Camp Hansen !!! '03
I’ll talk to dodge end of October
Star doggie what up. From Bode and I.
Dude was it you who got ahold of locklear? If so relay to her let’s get the Aspen trip aligned. I’m totally down if she actually likes me.
those planes, were holograms, using project blue beam. It's hologram tech that's not in the public sector yet.
Dude must have future aspirations to become a politician with his non answers on the border. What the hell was that?
He's active and likely not the media correspondent for BORTAC. Your bosses probably wouldn't want you giving your personal opinions of your job on a national platform.
A dude with ZERO BALLS
A
Yayyayy
Yayyayyyyyyyy
Bode says what up
Talk about it..
Honor First ⛩
Bode - Let’s get stuff from advertising.
Should get an hrt guy
This guy sounds kinda like dj Shipley lol
Great podcast. You folks complaining, put a bag over your head and take mikes advice. If anyone wants to ask the big questions, Why doesn’t anyone talk about the 400 miles of wall completed, and the 195 miles not finished?
What did you think when 7 fell?
In the rock the devil dogs win that engagement ? ;
He aint going to say shit about how messed up the border is ,to scared to tell the truth. Thats the problem
EagleOne 💚 🦅 💚 #mptajocb #ntfsocb #ftaome #katn
No sh*t parents need to have leniency
“I gotta level with you…. I shave my sack” 😭😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
How come you didn’t ask him about his dog? Also wondered if there were any women involved in this department?
Won’t lie I hate all the adds, but I realize it unfortunately part of business 🤷♂️.
I love the "Mike Drop" aka Mike Ritland show... even wear the cap to prove it. However this two part shit is lame. This isn't a soap opera. Post the entire interview... for the love of God ❤❤😂😂❤❤😂😂
Nice party line response to Mike's border question. Disappointing.
