When the call came to step into the world’s most dangerous environments, it wasn’t about prestige—it was about purpose. This chapter takes you inside David Burnell’s transformation from a warrior and rescuer into a protector on the global stage, becoming a certified PSD operator through Crisis Response International’s grueling counter-terrorism and bodyguard program. From live-fire drills to SERE training and TCCC under fire, every test refined the mindset needed to protect others when the world is burning. This wasn’t just about carrying a gun; it was about carrying the weight of leadership, stepping into chaos, and becoming the shield between violence and the innocent. From Afghanistan deployments to earthquake zones, this chapter is a testament to a mission that never ends—and to the warriors who keep moving forward so others can live.
