The World's Longest Sniper Kill with former JTF 2 specialist and Country Music Artist, Dallas Alexander
Dallas Alexander grew up in a very small, Canadian town, where he spent most of his days outdoors and dreaming of hockey. When his junior hockey days came to an end, a co-worker out in the oil fields, introduced him to the JTF 2 Special Operations Force. With very little knowledge of this elite group, he became very intrigued and began his pursuit within the Canadian military, with the goal of joining this elite class. Within a short period of time, he made it through selections and found himself a part of the JTF 2 unit. Throughout the process, he gravitated to the sniper unit and excelled to become a tier 1 sniper within JTF 2.
Dallas and his team, made headlines when they claimed the World's furthest sniper kill shot while in Afghanistan. We take a deep dive into the events the led up to that shot, the mindset of a sniper, and all that goes into the teams objective.
Dallas decided to part ways from the military (we discuss why) and found a new passion in music. There was just something about live music that drew him in instantly. He has taken the same focus and determination, he did while pursuing the JTF 2 unit, and is now implementing that towards song writing and performing. This fall, we can expect his first album and he has recently released his debut single, "Adios Amigo," along with a music video, highlighting that notorious kill shot.
