Show on the History Channel

[Sdiver]

I'm watching a show on the History Channel right now called Warriors. It's hosted by a guy named, Terry Schappert.

In the intro he said, "I was a former 'Green Beret' ". In fact the promo for the show on THC's web site, even lists him as a "Green Beret", instead of an SF soldier.

Host Terry Schappert travels to Scotland to examine the epic Battle of Stirling Bridge where William "Braveheart" Wallace and his rag-tag band of soldiers took on the full power of the English army. Terry uses his expertise as a Green Beret to breakdown this battle through the eyes of the soldiers. He'll explain how the techniques, weaponry, and strategy of these warriors influenced the surprising outcome of the battle.

Anyone know him and have comm with him in some way? I know how the QP's don't like being referred to as a piece of "Head Gear". ;)

I went to selection and the SFQC with Terry...he is real...actually one of the better guys...I lost track of him until I bumped into him in Stuttgart (1996).

Terry was an SSG in C 1-10 (93-97ish), left active duty shortly thereafter and was pursuing an acting career in NY when 9/11 occured. I had heard that he was SF Guard (19th?), and had put his acting gig on hold to go downrange with the brothers and do some mandatory headspace and timing corrections on the towelheads.

Thanks for the posting.. I'll try to catch the next episode on the history channel..

I don't have any contact with him, but will query some other folks when they get back from Sturgis.

And the search function here works.
Caught his name for the first time last night associated with the words "green beret" in a promo for this seasons series.

I met Terry when his guard unit went with us to Iraq in '05. Good guy.
