In January, 2010, the Today Show aired a series called Silent Warriors. This series gives a look at the training U.S. Navy SEAL candidates have to go through to become a fully qualified Navy SEAL and deemed ready for operational duty. This part is a look at how it is to be married to a […]
You just don’t know for sure in MOST cases unless you’ve been to BUD/S and served in the Teams… HOW DO YOU KNOW FOR SURE? The ONLY 100% way to ever know for sure if someone was a SEAL or not is to verify them through a SPECWAR Insider, a SEAL Verifier like myself or […]
I’ve been in a lot of Helos as a SEAL and Search & Rescue Crewchief (AW) in H60F & H’s, and this is a prime example of not having situational awareness to realize the effects of density altitude (thin air) and even worse– putting peoples lives at risk. I’m a 500 hour instrument rated pilot […]

Not only is Brandon a great resource on real world military information, he’s […]
I thought I’d just briefly highlight the US Navy SEAL course requirements (in brief), as not too many people are aware that we have our own Navy SEAL sniper program.
This is a great video regarding the 50th Anniversary of the Teams. I served in ECHO platoon with SEAL Astronaut (2nd in history of NASA) Chris Cassidy. What a great guy. Enjoy. -Brandon ‘%EMBED1%’
When you’re cold and deep in the mountains there is nothing quite like starting a fire to warm the bones, and it provides a little entertainment. There’s something primal and good about starting a warm fire, not that you can do this operationally, most of the time it’s sleeping boots on and gun at the […]
I had a cool day on Friday. A bit of range time and then caught Act of Valor with a DevGru buddy of mine, and about 20 other guys that shot with us (he owns a training company, so it was a little company event). I wanted to give you guys a Marine’s perspective on […]
How do a bunch of Navy SEALs shoot, move and communicate? With the help of some bad ass software defined communications accessories developed by Silynx Communications. I had a chance to catch up with the CEO of Silynx, Gil Limonchik this week and learn about the quality and detail that go into their communication systems. […]
The Story Behind RESCO and the only Navy SEAL watch maker in the world. I recently had dinner with my fellow SEAL brother Rob Smith and his wonderful wife Nicole, founders of RESCO Instruments .
