 US Navy SEALS are the best of the best, the highest-trained soldiers America has to offer. It didn't look like Brandon Webb was on his way to qualify for the SEAL's until he was working on a diving boat that some SEAL's showed up to dive on. Up until that point, he had an abusive father and physical maladies that had him wearing leg braces. However, speaking to the SEAL's showed him there was a goal worth fighting for. Years later, Webb was a SEAL, and even more, he was good enough to be asked to create the curriculum and train soldiers at Sniper School. If you want to know what it takes to be the best, Webb is in a great place to tell you about it. He's been there and done that, and probably shot some people there too!
