Counterfire

FOREWORD

Some of you have written to me with regrets about the loss of some of the old hands in the Third Platoon of SEAL Team Seven. It happens in combat more often than we would like, but we have to be realistic. In this line of work, men get wounded and killed. There are also replacements needed due to training accidents and the unusual and tough wear and tear on all of our Navy SEALs. That’s why there are always new SEALs coming up through BUD/S training program. If you’ve ever wished that you could be a SEAL, and are in the Navy or want to join the Navy, now might be a good time to talk to the Navy people about the program.

It isn’t an outfit that you can automatically join. You must apply, then pass a series of tests, including tough physical and psychological testing. That’s how the SEALs get the best and toughest men in the Navy. Just a thought.

So, how is it going with you? How did you like this SEAL adventure? Let me know. Hey, I can take your criticism and even weather a pat on the back. If it’s okay with you, I might use a quote from your letter in a special page in one of the books that show what you think of the series. Write to me at: Keith Douglass, SEAL Team Seven, 8431 Beaver Lake Dr., San Diego, CA 92119.

You have a good day now.

Keith Douglass
