SE5-EP231 Tango Alpha Lima: "The Littlest" Navy SEAL David Brown
Joe marks his “hurt-a-versary” by looking back to the day 20 years ago when he was injured while running to assist a vehicle that had been hit by an IED. THE INTERVIEW Standing at 5'3" and weighing 110 pounds, young Navy recruit David Brown was laughed at and told he'd never make it through BUDS and become a SEAL. But Brown was determined. "If there was someone telling me I couldn’t do it, then this is the job for me. I was going to be Jacques Cousteau with a shotgun.” Brown shares how he proved the doubters wrong, the story of his military and federal law enforcement careers, and his book "And Goliath" in this week's episode. SCUTTLEBUTT No matter what happens in November...there will be a military veteran serving as vice-president. Rocky, a formerly-stray rescue dog who is now a Service Dog in training, is throwing his paws into the 2024 race to the White House. The Legion "Get Out the Vote" program encourages all Americans to register and vote in all elections. SHOW NOTES https://tangoalphalima.fireside.fm/231
