Inside Seal Team Six

"Bin Laden killed in Pakistan." The day after SEAL Team Six captured and killed Osama Bin Laden, my phone started ringing off the hook. One call after the other came from reporters all wanting to know the same thing: "You were on ST-6, you were the ST-6 training officer. How did they train for this op?" I answered, "They trained harder than anybody else in the world. They trained for the insertion, actions on the objective, lots of shooting in the shooting house, breaching, emergency medicine, commo, contingencies, hostage handling, intel searches, and for the extraction." And as I spoke, I felt a strong sense of affirmation. Now fifty-three years old and a veteran of many ops, scrapes with death, broken bones, and ruined marriages, I knew that every minute of my time with the SEALs had been worth it. - Jacket.
