Brandon Webb chats with Rob Maylor, who served in the British Royal Marines before going back for more with the Australian Special Air Service.  They get into Special Operations soldiers who get into publishing, what motivates soldiers to write, the transition back to the civilian world, and the future of SOFREP.  Brandon and Rob also talk about the new Steyr rifle and the disadvantages of the 5.56.  Maylor also recounts how he survived a helictoper crash in the Pacific Ocean. Rob served in Afghanistan, Iraq, East Timor, and Northern Ireland.
