Everybody you fight is not your enemy, and everybody that helps you is not your friend.

That’s me in the white suit. In Air Troop they called me ‘Kamikaze’ after surviving 3 parachute malfunctions. Near-death became routine, so when we were snowbound in Iraq behind enemy lines, it felt like just another survival test. #whodareswins

If you know me, you understand why Father’s Day hits on a few different levels. Whether it was in training or in combat, from the inception of this country up through today, people have sworn an oath, stepped up, and sacrificed their lives in defense of freedom. On Father’s Day in particular, I remember those friends who didn’t make it back and whose kids are growing up wondering what life would have been like with a dad to throw the football with them, take them fishing, tuck them into bed at night, or walk them down the aisle. There are children across this nation having a different kind of day today, one of remembrance and reflection. Take a moment to think about them and hug your kids a little tighter knowing all of us are here today because of those who gave up their futures for ours.

Thank you to @NavySEALfnd for all you do for the families of those who didn’t make it home.

Strength and Honor

Happy Father’s Day to those who serve, have served, and the fathers who support them. Your strength, discipline, and quiet sacrifices—both at home and abroad—don’t go unnoticed. Today is for all of you. Stoic in duty. Strong in love. Steady in presence. Thank you. #FathersDay

On this day 42 years ago, the Falklands War ended. The 10-week conflict between Argentina and the UK over the Falklands and nearby territories claimed 907 lives. It ended with Argentina’s surrender on 14 June 1982. RIP to all who lost their lives. 🕊️ #Falklands

During CT training, fully kitted in black. The pistol often outperformed the rifle in close-quarter work. When B Sqn got scrambled for Iraq in late ’91, we’d been months on CT duty—ready for hostages, not heat. Urban sharp, desert soft. A hard lesson in adaptation. #whodareswins

82 years ago today—June 6th, 1944—thousands stormed the beaches of Normandy. Many knew they wouldn’t return. D-Day wasn’t glory, but grit, sacrifice, and silence in the face of impossible odds. Not for recognition, but for duty. We remember. #Lestweforget

"Most don't make it through. Some break. Some disappear. I refused to be either." SAS selection: no glamour, just pain, pressure, and purpose. This is the truth behind the toughest test I ever faced. “It doesn’t break you. It makes you.” Now on Audible & Kindle. 🔗 Link in bio.
