In this episode of Honesty Box, former US Navy SEAL DJ Shipley sits down to answer your questions. DJ enlisted in the Navy at just 17, completed the gruelling BUD/S selection process, and went on to join SEAL Team 6, one of the most elite and secretive special operations units in the world.

He opens up about operating in some of the most hostile environments on Earth, the brutal training and extreme physical standards required to become a SEAL, and the devastating realities of combat. DJ shares what it’s really like to take a life, the harrowing things he witnessed on the battlefield, and the long-term impact of PTSD that many veterans face after war.
