Chapter Nine





SEAL Team Six




Break glass in case of war.

—SEAL team motto





When I got to SEAL Team Six, ■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​■​ was still under investigation. As a result, all of us were audited. Navy officials sat me down and went through all my hotel receipts, taxi receipts, receipts for the cold-weather gear I had purchased for winter-warfare training. Everything.

I was squeaky clean. But a few guys got in trouble and had to leave the command.

Overall, I found the commitment and professionalism of the team members to be off the charts. They were the very best of the best—serious, smart, tough, dedicated, professional, mission driven—and I was extremely proud to be among them.
