IÕm writing this guide to save time for Ôthe rest of usÕ who havenÕt undergone the training it takes to be
a SEAL, Green Beret, or Marine Recon sniper. My life has been fortunate in that IÕve been surrounded with great friends whoÕve done many things within the service of our country just as I have. I will provide a perspective from the edge of those communities, from someone who had to learn and demonstrate a great deal of the same mindset, physical fitness and nutritional foundations, yet had to
carry on a separate job that was more technical than physical. Like you, dear reader, this Ôseparate jobÕ I held in the risky career of Naval Aviation meant that my core focus was not focused exclusively on honing my survivalskillsin every waking moment. It was simply a time cost of doing my regular career. I feel that this guide will have the most value for setting up your mindset because you are NOT expected to dedicate your entire waking life to survival. It's a philosophy that will transform your lifestyle.
