SEAL Team Six, yes, it was on one of the school summer reading lists last summer. But did you stop to read it? Or did you pass over it for something that sounded more interesting? It took me awhile, but I finally sat down and read it last week, and let me tell you, I could not put it down. This is the story of one man’s life, from his abusive step father in his childhood, to his intensive Navy SEAL training, to the combat missions he went through on the other side of the globe. This is a DO NOT MISS book. Lots of hilarious stories, lots of action, lots of cool information on what it means to be a SEAL sniper in a SEAL “family”. Did you know you need a lot of math skills to be a sniper? This book will intrigue and surprise you.

If you’re interested in anything military, especially Special Ops, this is the book for you! It might be nonfiction, but it reads like a novel in first person point of view, making it an easy and accessible read.

An excellent book. One of those reads where you can't stop reading. Highly recommended.

Great read. Gives you a taste of what it really takes to do the job they do. No BS'ing or "Hollywood" images.

One of the best books I've read about Special forces and the Navy Seals. An excellent mix of all the tough training involved these brave warriors go through and several real world combat operations.
It seems Seal Team Six has healed from the black eye it was given from the damage that "Dick" Marchinko gave this
awesome group of warriors
HIghly recommended! .

This is a very good book. It reads like a novel. I would easily get sucked into the book and forget about time. This is the kind of book Spec Ops junkies love, because it teaches things about ST6 (a covert unit, just like Delta), but at the same time it is fun to read.

Some of the stuff that Wasdin talks about BUD/S training and what it takes to go through it (it is more about mental toughness than physical toughness) and mission SNAFU's, has been corroborated by other authors who have written about the SEAL's and the Delta Force.

This book will make you feel like a wuss. But it's a great read.
