The morning of September 11th became a defining moment in history—and for those of us stationed aboard the USS Curt, it was no different. As I started my day at the pier side in San Diego, a call from the incoming duty officer would change everything. What initially sounded like an accident quickly turned into a wake-up call for our nation, as we watched live coverage of the second plane hitting the World Trade Center. In the chaos that followed, I found my path colliding with fate, receiving a unique opportunity to train with SEAL Team Five. Join me as I share insights from those relentless months of preparation leading up to BUDS, where the challenges encountered would mold my determination and resilience. From grueling runs that pushed me to my limits to the camaraderie formed with fellow aspiring SEALs, this is more than a story of a naval officer—it’s about transformation, duty, and the unwavering spirit that arose in times of crisis. Embark on this journey with me as we reflect on the call to serve and what it truly means to be prepared for anything. 🌊💪
