As a young kid, Ron O’Ferrall grew up in a rough area of California. His step-father grew up in a gang prior to Vietnam and his two brothers were already members as well. His mother was hoping to help him find a better life and his grandfather was trying to teach him life lessons over the summer when he could work on a farm and leave the street gangs. He shares how he was able to avoid the gangs that were a part of his daily life by joining the US Army, attending selection for the 75th Ranger Regiment, and set his career and life on the right path.

Keep them coming brother. Incredible work!
Hi, I’m a 21 year old woman and I’m training to become a US Navy SEAL. How should a woman prepare for BUD/S? How are women treated in BUD/S? Do you have any advice for preparation? I’m a civilian and I want to go enlisted.
According to what some BUD/S dropouts told me, one female SEAL candidate broke her legs in Basic Orientation (BO) which is the first two weeks of BUD/S, another female SEAL candidate broke her legs in BUD/S Prep and a third female SEAL candidate got rolled back in BO for stress fractures. None of them made it.
In November 2021, a woman made it to first phase of BUD/S for the first time in history but she quit on day one after the first hour.
