Inside an FBI SWAT Team’s Lethal Race to Save Hostage Lives | Ep. 261 | Pt. 1
Welcome to another episode of the Mike Drop podcast, where we dive deep into the stories of warriors, operators, and those who've lived on the edge. Mike Ritland, retired Navy SEAL, dog trainer, and author, sits down with Jeremy Rebmann—a true embodiment of dedication, precision, and service. Jeremy is a retired FBI Special Agent with an impressive 32-year career spanning the U.S. Air Force and the FBI. A graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, he started as a Sortie Generation Officer and later served as a Special Agent in the USAF Office of Special Investigations. Transitioning to the FBI, he spent 23 years in the Oklahoma City Field Office, where he logged 21 years as a SWAT operator and sniper, tackling some of the Bureau's most high-stakes missions—from hostage rescues to counterterrorism ops. Beyond his tactical expertise, Jeremy is a certified pilot, WMD agent, emergency medical technician, and evidence response team member. He's also an accomplished author, with his top-10 bestselling short story "Glass Mountain" and his recent book "Send Me: Chronicles of an FBI Sniper," which pulls back the curtain on the intense world of FBI SWAT operations. In this episode, we'll unpack Jeremy's journey from the Air Force Academy to the front lines of law enforcement, the evolution of SWAT tactics, the mental grit required for sniper work, and lessons from his most adrenaline-fueled deployments. Whether you're in the military, law enforcement, or just fascinated by stories of resilience, you won't want to miss this one. Let's drop in!
