Any SWCC dads? I added a discussion for SWCC class 75-1. Check it out. It is in the Special Operations Group. http://www.navydads.com/group/usnavyspecialoperations/forum/topics/...

Stephen - I totally agree with your mixed feelings on all these SEAL books coming out,  I have the same issues every time I see a new one.  All we can hope is that they do not divulge information that is harmful to the current SEALS.  We have to rely on the government approval of the books before they come out.  I would especially think that Rorke Denver would know how much to limit information.  I refuse to buy a book that is not cleared, I certainly would not want to help line the pockets of someone who is willing to compromise their comrades.  That said, does anyone know that status of these two new ones?

The second one actually sounds more interesting to me - the author's personal conflicts with seeming conflicting goals.

Double edged sword.  While it seems appropriate that our elite troops get some recognition, does all the publicity reduce their effectiveness and safety??

being written by SEALs I don't think they would reveal anything that may compromise those serving or in training....think what sets "us" apart from everyone else is the mind-set....that is not something learned by reading a book

Here are two new Navy SEAL titles that are coming out very soon:

Damn Few: Making the Modern SEAL Warrior

This book will take you inside the personal journey of Lieutenant Commander Rorke Denver and the fascinating, demanding SEAL training program he now oversees. Denver and Newsday columnist Ellis Henican write about what it takes to become one of the nation’s most elite warriors and how the Navy SEALs evolved into America’s best protectors in the post-9/11 world.

Denver, who has fourteen years of experience as SEAL officer, shares his story as a recruit, a platoon leader and a training officer for the U.S. Navy SEALs. He details how the SEALs’ creative operations became front and center in America’s War on Terror—and how they are altering warfare everywhere.

Damn Few: Making the Modern SEAL Warrior is set to hit Amazon and Barnes & Noble on Feb. 19.

Battle Ready: Memoir of a SEAL Warrior Medic

Navy Cross, Silver Star, Bronze Star, and Purple Heart recipient SEAL Lieutenant Mark L. Donald  shares in this 352-page memoir his journey from the rigors of BUD/S training to the horrors of the battlefield. The book immerses the reader in the unique life of the elite warrior-medic who advances into combat with life-saving equipment in one hand and life-taking weapons in the other. It also touches on how he struggled and survived the demons caused by Post Traumatic Stress Disorder that threatened to destroy him and his family.

According to his service record, Donald began his military career as a Reconnaissance Marine in 1985. In 1987, following his transfer to the U.S. Navy as a Hospital corpsman, he began service as a SEAL Corpsman. He served the nation for 24 years as a Navy SEAL, Corpsman and Medical Service Corps officer.

I am not sure how much info was reported on the News but there were 3 Guard riders in a accident on the way to Austin. Navy SEALs in the procession went to there aid and worked on them till first responders arrived.

HooYah SEALs.
