Index. Decorative front cover, which has slight wear. Brandon Webb is a combat-decorated Navy SEAL sniper and, with the changing tides, turned innovative entrepreneur. During his last tour as a U.S. Navy chief, he was head instructor at the SEAL sniper school, which produced some of America's most legendary snipers. Brandon is an instrument rated private pilot, multiple New York Times bestselling author, entrepreneur, and Harvard Business School alumni. Brandon was born in small town, Rocky Mountain, Canada to a Canadian father and American mother. One summer he was invited to work aboard the SCUBA diving boat, PEACE, out of Ventura harbor on the California coast. Brandon would learn how to SCUBA that summer and, over the years working as a deck hand, became a competent free diver, and underwater hunter. Brandon would go on to enlist in the US Navy in March of 1993, with the goal to become a Navy SEAL. In 1997 his SEAL training package was approved; he joined over 200 students in BUD/S class 215 and went on to graduate as one of 23 originals that started SEAL selection. He served with SEAL Team 3, Naval Special Warfare Group One Training Detachment sniper cell, and the Naval Special Warfare Center west coast sniper course manager. Over his navy career he completed four deployments to the Middle East including one to Afghanistan. Before he could forge a band of elite warriors.he had to become one himself. . Brandon Webb's experiences in the world's most elite sniper corps are the stuff of legend. From his grueling years of training in Naval Special Operations to his combat tours in the Persian Gulf and Afghanistan, The Making of a Navy SEAL provides a rare and riveting look at the inner workings of the U.S. military through the eyes of a covert operations specialist. Yet it is Webb's distinguished second career as a lead instructor for the shadowy "sniper cell" and Course Manager of the Navy SEAL Sniper Program that trained some of America's finest and deadliest warriors-including Marcus Luttrell and Chris Kyle-that makes his story so compelling. Luttrell credits Webb's training with his own survival during the ill-fated 2005 Operation Redwing in Afghanistan. Kyle went on to become the U.S. military's top marksman, with more than 150 confirmed kills. From a candid chronicle of his student days, going through the sniper course himself, to his hair-raising close calls with Taliban and al Qaeda forces in the northern Afghanistan wilderness, to his vivid account of designing new sniper standards and training some of the most accomplished snipers of the twenty-first century, Webb provides a rare look at the making of the Special Operations warriors who are at the forefront of today's military. Explosive, revealing, and intelligent, The Making of a Navy SEAL provides a uniquely personal glimpse into one of the most challenging and secretive military training courses in the world.
