Another great Insight in one of THE Top Tier Units!

Well first of all, i've read alot of military memoirs and they are usally good. This one is no exception. Robert O'Neill starts with his way to the Seals and BUD/S, as nearly every Seal Book does, but in comparison to most of the other books he always tells us his personal thoughts in these special situations and speaks about the life as a seal, not only the job. He also looks very critically at some things! Especially at the end ;) Don't want to spoiler!
After all, it's often quite hilarious and storys from a Seal are never bad. Go and listen to it!

PS: Excuse my bad english, i am from Germany :)

Great inspirational read about a man fully dedicated to his profession

The book describes the professional life of a navy seal from his decision to start navy seal training all the way to his retirement. The Storytelling is very detailed, authentic and truly inspirational. Although many reviews criticized the jokes and the missing introspection, I found that this only added to the authenticity of the story. The man was fully dedicated to what he did and there was no room for doubt. As soon as doubt and an egalitarian attitude started to creep in, he needed to get out in order to not risk being killed.

I needed some time to get used to the somewhat colloquial language and pronunciation but it was fine after a couple of chapters.

Truly inspirational book about how full dedication is required to tackle difficult tasks! Immediately after finishing, I am starting the audiobook again.

Thank you

For those who served, with and without combat experience, you will understand. Those without, like me, understand in a more technical therm, those with, well, you know all that, I guess.
For the rest, well it is a huge story of many told by one. It's a story about selflessness and the pride of being a part something bigger then yourself. Enjoy.

And always remember, you can enjoy a wine, a nice car, a good book and your freedom to go, believe, eat, live and love what, where and how ever you choose because of those serving.

So take care about your veterans!
