Ep. 10 • Billy Helmers - A Steady Hand Through Rough Seas. 🔱

Billy Helmers has been a steady hand helping to guide NSW for 20+ years, in this episode we dive into a lifetime of overcoming challenges, and navigating storms, both literal and figurative.

From the oil fields of West Texas to the shores of Coronado, Billy grew up riding bulls, but he never expected to become a SEAL, he just wanted a way out of the small town life he left behind.

Traveling the country and jumping into stadiums filled with thousands of people as part of the iconic Leap Frogs (Navy parachute team), Billy learned to party with the best of them, but also learned temperance and balance. Traits which served him well as he’s become a sounding board for a lot of other strong willed Frogmen as they navigate their own journeys, both in and out of the Teams.

Here are some highlights of the many stories we track through on this episode.

•  When the XO pulls a gun on Billy during mast for a DUI while still in BUD/S.

•  Accidentally setting the record for highest jump from a GOPlat (Gas & Oil Platform).

•  Funny bar fight stories in domestic & foreign lands.

•  The art of dealing with what life throws at you.

•  Experiences being on the Navy parachute team (The Leap Frogs).
