Midrats Sunday, Best of Kirk Lippold & Steve Phillips


This Easter at 5pm EST, let's go back to October of 2010 for a great duo of guests. 

First, since the end of US involvement The Vietnam War almost 40 years ago, there are just a few USN Commanding Officers who know what it is like for a warship under attack; one of the handful will be our first guest, CDR Kirk Lippold, USN (Ret.). He was the Commanding Officer of the USS Cole (DDG-67) when it was attacked while in port Aden, Yemen 12 October 2000 - the 10th anniversary will be this Tuesday. We will discuss his experiences then as well as the work he has done since his retirement with senior military fellow with Military Families United, and any other topics that fold their way in to our conversation. (since his first guest on Midrats, he published his book, Front Burner

Our second guest will be from the shadows of the Navy EOD world, Steve Phillips. After graduating from Annapolis in '92, Steve found honest work as a SWO, but then transferred into EOD where he served as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician at EOD Mobile Units Six, Eight, and Ten. He is the author of Proximity: A Novel of the Navy's Elite Bomb Squad which received a Gold Medal from the Military Writers Society of America in 2008. Some of the proceeds from the book support the EOD Memorial Foundation which provides scholarship to the children of EOD Technicians who made the ultimate sacrifice. 

If you like his work, Steve is currently working on a non-fiction account of EOD Technicians in our current conflict with a working title of Improvised: EOD Techs in the War on Terrorism.

    obviously like your web-site but you need to test the spelling
    on quite a few of your posts. A number of them are rife with
    spelling problems and I find it very troublesome to inform the
    truth nevertheless I'll surely come back again.

    After I originally left a comment I appear to have clicked
    on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on
    whenever a comment is added I receive four emails with the same comment.
    Is there an easy method you are able to remove me from that service?
    Thank you!
