By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview: #1 I was a SEAL by 1998, but making it through the selection and training course for DEVGRU was the pinnacle of my career. The nine-month selection course was known as Green Team, and it was the only thing between me and the other candidates moving up to the elite DEVGRU.

#2 I was embarrassed and disappointed with myself after forgetting to tell my teammate to move in the first room, which was a safety violation. I was defenseless and furious with myself.

#3 The Navy’s counter-terrorism unit, DEVGRU, was born in the aftermath of the 1980 mission to rescue American hostages in Iran. The unit has grown significantly and filled out with numerous teams of operators as well as support staff.

#4 I was the only one in my platoon going to the screening process. I was in poor physical condition, and I knew the first part of the screening was a fitness test. I easily passed the push-up test, despite the instructors’ nitpicking each rep.
