Episode notes
A round came through the wall inches from his entire team. That's the first two minutes.
Episode 1 of the Eagle Ops Rally Point podcast: Jeremiah "Sixkiller" Cheatwood tells the story he's never told on camera — small-town kid turned 82nd Airborne paratrooper, watching 9/11 unfold during training, then jumping into the 2003 invasion of Iraq through Ramadi, Fallujah, and Baghdad, where he turned 21 at war. Unfiltered, honest, and at times darkly funny.
Jeremiah is now an Outreach Manager at Eagle Ops, helping veterans navigate life after service. Support the mission:
