Don Shipley left the family farm in Pennsylvania and dropped out of school in 1978 to join the Navy at 17 years old. I spent a couple years in Yokosuka, Japan on a ship before becoming a Navy SEAL in 1984. Various SPECWAR commands during my SEAL career, most of my time was spent at SEAL Team ONE and SEAL Team TWO. Retiring in 2003 after 24 years in the Navy, I run SEAL Training courses for young guys who aspire to become NAVY SEALs and older guys who want to know if they could have been.

Great movie with a good soundtrack.
It is always interesting to see the lives of “combat arms” soldiers when they were kids that led up to them enlisting to include photos during their time in the service.
