Our guest for this episode of Straight Outta Combat Radio (Radio-Medicine by GreenZone Hero) is former Navy Seal Team SIX Commando, World-Class Adventure Competitor, and New York Times Best Selling Author, Mr. Don Mann.

Don’s military biography is impressive-he’s a decorated combat veteran; Corpsman; SEAL Special Operations Technician; jungle, desert, and arctic-survival instructor; small arms weapons instructor; foreign arms weapons instructor, armed and unarmed defense tactics, advanced hand-to-hand combat instructor; and Survival, Evade, Resistance, and Escape Instructor; in addition to other credentials.

He is the author of 20 books including the New York Times Best Selling autobiography “Inside SEAL Team SIX: My Life and Missions with America’s Elite Warriors.”  The members of SEAL Team Six are synonymous with heroism, duty, and justice. These are the same elite warriors who assassinated Osama bin Laden. As a member of this elite team of warriors, Don worked in countless dangerous operations around the world to include Somalia, Panama, El Salvador, Colombia, Afghanistan, and Iraq. He was even captured by the enemy once and lived to tell the tale.

To become a SEAL, Don had to overcome his own troubled childhood and push his body to its breaking point and beyond. Don’s narrative is all about physical and mental toughness. He has over 40 years (1,000+ races) worth of competitive racing experience; and was once ranked 38th in the world as a triathlete.

Mann received a Master’s in Management from Troy State University, in Troy, AL, a B.S. in International Relations & Criminal Justice, from Florida State University, in Tallahassee, FL, and a B.S. in Liberal Science, from State University of New York. He lives in Cape Charles, VA.
