Part 2: Robert O'Neill: Everything Changed After 9/11, I Joined SEAL Team 6 to Fight Terrorists

--------

Robert O'Neill recounted his journey into Navy SEAL training and his experiences in military service. Raised in Butte, Montana, O'Neill described a relatively ordinary upbringing until a heartbreak propelled him to seek change. Initially planning to join the Marine Corps, a twist of fate and a nudge from a Navy recruiter redirected him to the Navy SEALs, despite being unable to swim—a fundamental requirement. He humorously noted how a friend helped him overcome this hurdle, enabling his entry into the SEALs. Fast-paced and full of anecdotes, O'Neill’s story illustrates his path from a non-military family to becoming an elite warrior. Notably, his career highlights include not just historical missions but also playing a crucial role in safeguarding the President of Albania.
