Publisher's summary

When the Navy sends their elite, they send the SEALs. When the SEALs send their elite, they send SEAL Team Six—a secret unit tasked with counterterrorism, hostage rescue, and counterinsurgency.

In this dramatic, behind-the-scenes chronicle, Howard Wasdin takes listeners deep inside the world of Navy SEALs and Special Forces snipers, beginning with the grueling selection process of Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL - the toughest and longest military training in the world.

After graduating, Wasdin faced new challenges. First, there was combat in Operation Desert Storm as a member of SEAL Team Two. Then, the Green Course: the selection process to join the legendary SEAL Team Six (ST6), with a curriculum that included practiced land warfare to unarmed combat. More than learning how to pick a lock, they learned how to blow the door off its hinges.

Finally, as member of ST6, he graduated from the most storied and challenging sniper program in the country: the Marine Corps Scout Sniper School. Eventually, of the 18 snipers in ST6, Wasdin became the best—which meant one of the best snipers on the planet.

Less than half a year after sniper school, he was fighting for his life. The mission: capture or kill Somalian warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid. From rooftops, helicopters, and alleys, Wasdin hunted Aidid and killed his men whenever possible. But everything went quickly to hell when his small band of soldiers found themselves fighting for their lives, cut off from help and desperately trying to rescue downed comrades during a routine mission. The Battle of Mogadishu, as it became known, left 18 American soldiers dead and 73 wounded. Howard Wasdin had both of his legs nearly blown off while engaging the enemy. His explosive combat tales and inside details of becoming one of the world’s deadliest snipers combine to make this the most thrilling and important memoir by a navy SEAL since Lone Survivor.

Damn good book.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Howard did an excellent job of taking the reader/listener to the fight.
The story of his childhood and how it affected his ability to ignore pain was fascinating.

Great story, great narration

I listen to lots of books and this is one of my favorite. I listened to it while mountain biking and boy did it put me in the right mindset to push myself. All of a sudden, going over a root or a log didn???t seem like such a hard task. If you like military stories, you will love this one. The narration was great and really added to the story. Thanks to all who served this country.

Eye Opening!!

This was an enlightening book! I never realized the kind of training it takes to be counted amongst the Elite Soldiers. This book tells of the mental and physical strength that is required. It also displays in a healthy way; and sometimes not so healthy way, how relationships are built and severed. Seal Team Six Memoirs is a real story told from the first hand perspective of a real Elite Soldier about the intricate details of war. The reader Ray Porter made it more enriching in a matter of fact kind of way! Totally a joy to listen to. I laughed, cried and prayed. This was a great book!
