I had a chance to visit with my old CO (Commanding Officer) during a recent event in DC this Tuesday. The usual media suspects were there, clamoring for a quote that is surely going to end up written out of context. When I went up to shake his hand after his talk, I let him […]
Continued from Part One…. A final Press check—a movement that pulls the bolt of his weapon back slightly to ensure a bullet is seated and ready to go—ensures that his primary and secondary weapons are both up and that he is ready for work. The exercise in touch makes him feel more connected to […]
In the darkness the SEAL they call “Disco” (a nick name earned long ago in a foreign port of call) notices the helicopter crew chief signal to the other crewman that it is time to open the side doors of the helicopter in preparation. They are less than 10 minutes from the compound. As the […]
Here’s a double tap to the head on my two favorite Act of Valor trailers. David did a good write up over at Kit Up on the movie the other day – check it out. %EMBED1% %EMBED3% Brandon Out.

As a former Helo Aircrew SAR swimmer (before I went to BUD/S) I recognize the importance of the Navy’s helo support mission with regards to over water flights. TF 160 is bad ass, but Navy pilots are used to flying in adverse maritime conditions and that’s an important skill, especially when supporting the SEAL mission. […]

January 1962: Two Navy Sea Air Land (SEAL) operating teams are established to conduct unconventional warfare and counter-guerrilla operations. SEAL Team One is formed in Coronado, and SEAL Team Two is established at Little Creek, Va. The first SEALs are selected from existing Underwater Demolition Teams (UDT), the “frogmen” responsible for clearing the way for […]
On Friday morning, June 14, 1997, two days after my twenty-third birthday, I arrived in my dress whites on the main quarterdeck of the pre-training office in Coronado to check in for Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training. It had taken me more than four years to get this far, and I was aware that the odds […]
This picture is very symbolic. Within days after the twin towers came crashing down and the men of NYPD and NYFD put their lives at risk (some gave all), my SEAL platoon found ourselves in the eye of a different storm. I hope to one day shake the hands of the NYFD crew who own […]
