he's probably pulling between 70-80k a year at the tail end of his career before taxes (which are gonna be reduced because he probably deploys for 3 months or so a year).
I think the article mentioned he was making around 60K/yr, but not positive on that.

Flying in, we were all just sort of in our own world. My biggest concern was having to piss really bad and then having to get off in a fight needing to pee. We actually had these things made for us, like a combination collapsible dog bowl and diaper. I still have mine; I never used it. I used one of my water bottles instead. I forgot until later that when I shot bin Laden in the face, I had a bottle of piss in my pocket. I would have pissed my pants rather than trying to fight with a full bladder.
I had this bookmarked and just got around to reading the article and this quote just stood out to me. It was the best among so many great ones. Reading the whole thing made me realize that the stuff these guys do isn't much different from what the Mitch Rapp character does in novels. It is isn't that far fetched at all. More:
quote:
Above the compound, the Shooter could hear only his helo pilot in the flight noise. "Dash 1 going around" meant the other chopper was circling back around. I thought they'd taken fire and were just moving. I didn't realize they crashed right then. But our pilot did. He put our five perimeter guys out, went up, and went right back down outside the compound, so we knew something was wrong. We weren't sure what the frick it was. We opened the doors, and I looked out. The area looked different than where we trained because we're in Pakistan now. There are the lights, the city. There's a golf course. And we're, This is some serious Navy SEAL shite we're going to do. This is so badass. My foot hit the ground and I was still running [the Bush quote] in my head. I don't care if I die right now. This is so awesome. There was concern, but no fear. I was carrying a big-ass sledgehammer to blow through a wall if we had to. There was a gate on the northeast corner and we went right to that. We put a breaching charge on it, clacked it, and the door peeled like a tin can. But it was a fake gate with a wall behind it. That was good, because we knew that someone was defending themselves. There's something good here.
quote:
And then there was the time that the Shooter shite himself on a tandem jump with a huge SEAL who outweighed him by sixty pounds. "The goddamn main chute yanked so hard he slipped two disks in his neck and I filled my socks with human feces. I told him, 'Hey, dude, this is a horrible day.' He said if I went to our reserve chute, 'you're gonna fricking kill me.' He was that convinced his head was going to rip off his body. "Okay, so I'm flying this broken chute, shitting my pants with this near-dead guy connected to me. And we eat shite on the landing. We're lying there and the chute is dragging us across the ground. I hear him go, 'Yeah, that's my last jump for today.' And I said, 'That's cool. Can I borrow your boxers?' "We jumped the next day."

Why do all of these seals write books about their exploits while you almost never see one written by delta operators?

the media hyped this up and fricked it all up. the man had medical insurance from the VA. I think they did it so conservatives could bitch and then liberals can say they were stupid.

Read the whole article last night. Every review I read about the article seems to get hung up on whether or not he has health insurance. To me however, he came across as a guy who was facing uncertainty with what to do with his life now that he was out of the SEALS. He knows dozens of ways to kill a man, but he can't exactly put that on a job resume'. As far as why he left early instead of hanging around another 3 or 4 years to collect his pension, I'm just going to assume he got tired of killing people for a living and was burned out. I think he did mention that he never wanted to have to carry a gun again.
