This is a great video that features origins of Navy Commandos everywhere. It primarily features German and Italians in WWII. %EMBED3% Enjoy this little gold nugget of Frogman history.  

I don’t know former SEAL Bickle, a Navy SEAL convicted of smuggling, and I will not opine about his reputation or service.  He may have got caught up in a series of bad decisions, who the hell knows.  I do know that no former SEAL teammates testified on his behalf and this is very telling […]

I was on the USS Cole hours after it was hit by a suicide boat in the port of Aden, Yemen. It’s a tough situation to be in. It appears that security forces got a little trigger happy aboard a U.S.N.S. supply ship, and opened up on a white pleasure craft. It’s a tough situation […]

I don’t normally read SEAL books but somehow this one grabbed me.  I emailed the author of FEARLESS, Eric Blehm, to talk about a SOFREP radio interview. He agreed but asked if I’d read the book yet. I had to come clean and say, “No I haven’t”. I’ve done radio interviews with hosts who haven’t […]

At SOFREP we make a concerted effort to get the best and most accurate information about the Special Operations community to our readers. Careful considerations are given to Operational Security as we have no interest in compromising operations or endangering soldier’s lives, so balancing these two can be tricky at times. We also engage in […]

My agent Margret McBride was wise enough to carve out the audio book rights as our own. Audio Ambush MacMillan Audio actually produced the book without our knowledge and then tried to negotiate a deal with me after-the-fact. They spent some serious money hiring an actor to read the book and had actually sold pre-orders! […]

This video link was given to us by a SOFREP reader.  I remember watching parts of this video in a movie I bought about SEALs when I was eighteen years old.  I love this shit, it’s a great short with lots of good lessons learned that a few SOCOM Commanders I know should take to […]

Here’s a great look at a unique Navy SEAL/SWCC capability, open water Military Free Fall . This video shows SEAL/SWCC conducting ocean sky diving with boat deployment from a C-5. Any ocean, any time. %EMBED1%

We are in the final stages of securing sponsorship for a new series on SOFREP TV titled “Lost Heroes”, which is also my next book. This series will feature the men of US SOCOM who gave all during their service, true heroes.  The show will take you on their journey, and show what a positive […]

You may recognize A.J. James from the movie Act of Valor. Here he breaks it down for those interested in becoming a SEAL and discusses his wrestling background and how it helped him overcome some of his challenges with swimming.

Special thanks to Don Shipley for keeping up the good fight.  This short clip is a classic display of how these losers operate. Enjoy and have a great weekend. %EMBED2%

I did a post on the best helicopter night flyers in the world a while back. SOCOM’s TF 160th pilots are the best in the world in my opinion, these guys have more night vision flying time then most career airlines pilots have total hours. %EMBED3% I’m glad to see Hutmacher’s (Commander of US Army […]
