There are a lot of inaccuracies out there when it comes to the SEAL training process. You will see guys carrying logs around on television.

Becoming an inspiration for kids is great. I want to inspire them to do whatever they want to.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
