In this episode of UF PRO Beer:30, we sit down with Kawa Mawlayee from 2Alpha Training Group to discuss his journey from arriving in the United States as an Afghan immigrant to serving more than two decades as a U.S. Marine infantryman and U.S. Army Special Forces Green Beret.

The conversation covers combat experience, situational awareness, civilian training, lessons from Kawa’s time in Special Forces, and his work consulting on military films such as Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant.
