      Amazing American right here,in fact,better than the ones born here.Love this guy.I cried happy tears, proud tears,and sad,even angry tears through out this video. This is one of the most impactful podcasts from a vet that I have ever watcpeople that know me know I wanted to be in the military. It was my dream to fly military jets for the navy. My whole life since a kid wrong crowd got a felony at 17 years old. And the State of Vermont ruined my life states custody. That's all I mean to say anyway, this was amazing. This guy was absolutely amazing and I really really like this guy

      They don't give age waivers for enlisted guys for BUD/S much. In the nineties, before 911, the regular, non JSOC SEAL TEAMs were needing people and were chronically undermanned. NSW began a big expansion in the mid eighties through the early to mid nineties. Despite that, getting into BUD/S at thirty two is not easy.

But coming from Poland during the communist reign had to be bad, So coming to the United States had to be like a full pardon on a life sentence.

    So if I understand it correctly, he was 4 years over the age limit but the officers were so impressed by him that they vouched for him and signed a waver. Unlike today, completing the training wasn't enough in his day to become a Seal. You actually had to be picked by members of the Seal Teams. Perhaps most importantly, he seems like such a kind and gentle soul... Until the bullets start flying 20:09 at that moment, this man does not fool around.

Getting to learn from him and hearing his stories truly were inspiring and its awesome to see him share with the world now.
    Even though I ended up dropping out of Buds, I've taking his lessons he taught me and applied it to my life and am forever grateful to have had time with and learn from him, from training at the pool to getting lunch afterwards and picking his brain about the seal teams he did his best to prepare us for what awaited us in Buds.

Every conflict our country has been is, he ran to volunteer, even in 2001 when he was 50+ years old, he went to the recruiter, "let me fight! I owe you my life. I want to fight for America!." How less would we be without people like this coming here.
