This is were he learned how to be a true patriot and how important family was. his values were set in stone. 1. family 2. his country. he never knew what he wanted to do when he grew up but at the time his passion was bull riding. He was so good at it he would travel the country to compete in bull riding competition tell one day he would break his back from a bull thus ending his career. In the book it said,¨ Looking back it was not a surprising thing that I got involved in rodeo competitions while still in school.¨ pg 14]]> 2020-01-17 21:08:42 UTC https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433154498 veremnic000 https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433159565 After the career ending incident with the rodeo Kyle looked for work and he was in luck because a near by ranch was looking for workers so he started working their, he had experience working in a ranch so this job was second nature too him and the ranch owner saw that and continued to keep Kyle for almost two years. Then would come a point in Kyle life were he was lost and did not know what to do. He thought for days what he wanted to do with his life and what it would turn out to be, then he thought of his brothers they almost all went to the army and this is were you could say the story starts. He set his sights on the army but not any army he wanted to be in the action he wanted to be a seal. In the book it said, " I didn't want to fly plans or be a coast guard I want too get down and dirty and be in the enemy territory.¨ pg 23]]> 2020-01-17 21:25:07 UTC https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433159565 veremnic000 https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433166061 When Kyle enlisted for the Navy to get into seal training you first had to get past buds training this was  crucial to his career because he was so close to not being accepted because of his previous injruys that on paper made it sound like he was immobile so this motivated him even more to work harder to get past his injuries. During buds training he would be broken down physically and mentally but Kyle stayed calm and kept his focus to get to seal training. He almost liked the pain of being beat down and saw it as a way to be stronger. During the 6 weeks at buds he unfortunately suffered another injury which had him sit out for the rest of buds and asked to come back later. He soon did and made friends along the way that would also pass buds and move on with him to train to become seals. In the book it said,¨I felt beat down but their was something about the pain that was motivating and what kept me going.¨pg 28]]> 2020-01-17 21:49:23 UTC https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433166061 veremnic000 https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433208281 Kyle graduated buds with his friend Marcus Luttrell. he later on was given the option to chose were he would want to deploy as and he chose seal team 3 which was located on the coast of California. During his stay their he met a girl that he was deeply in love with and later on would get married to her she was the perfect match because of her hard spirit and work ethic she knew lots about seals and what they do because her sister was married to a seal. Kyle grew close with his platoon of seals and on his weeding day they spray painted him too show that he was new and the entirety of the weeding guest got to see what he looked like. In the book it said, ¨I had never laid eyes on a more beautiful girl she just captivated me from the moment she walked in.¨ pg 36]]> 2020-01-18 02:41:05 UTC https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433208281 veremnic000 https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433209687 In the middle of the night Kyle was awoken to his girlfriend and the news was on it was of the twin towers being rammed into by plans in Kyle's mind it was an act of terror and quickly got up and drove to his base to be given orders on the next plan of action. It came to surprise everyone of what happened but the Iraqis were blamed for the actions and in turn starting a war that would eventually never end. In the book it said, ¨I was sleeping when suddenly Taya started yelling for me to wake up and watch the news. I starts watching as smoke poured out of the World Trade Center.¨pg 32]]> 2020-01-18 02:51:54 UTC https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433209687 veremnic000 https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433455536 As the news of a war breaking out Kyle and his team were put under extensive training and during the training Kyle as a sniper was managing traffic to see if their was any suspicious activity and he shot what he believed was a actor but was a actually a drug dealer the cops were after this would show that he was a intelligent sniper and a good shot too proving that he could be part of the seal team. In the book it said, ¨During a Real Urban Training (RUT) exercise, the SEALs tried to take down an actual building, I was managing traffic when I took down what was believed too be an actor, but it was actually a drug dealer the cops have been after for awhile.¨ pg 40]]> 2020-01-19 21:29:11 UTC https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433455536 veremnic000 https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433456069 This was a day that Kyle knew was coming and that came fast he was going on  his first risky mission were he and his team were tasked to take down a North Korean freighter that was supposedly shipping cement, but it was actually shipping Scud missiles this was one of the many things that made the united states to increase observance and monitoring almost everything we do in our lives today. In the book it says,¨ The 3,500 ton freighter had an interesting history of transporting items to and from north Korea according to one rumor she had transported chemicals that could be used to create nerve weapons in this case though the ships papers declared that she was carrying cement what she was really carrying were scud missiles.¨ pg 51]]> 2020-01-19 21:33:25 UTC https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433456069 veremnic000 https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433457249 It was December and the first time that Kyle was away from family it gave him a feeling of depression and sadness the days came and went without any memorable celebrations and he just slept and ate the days away awaiting for his next orders but one thing that did give him a laugh were these remote controlled helicopters that he would fly around and scare the Iraqis that were working at the base this would come as a surprise to the workers because they have never seen anything like it before or they though it was a bomb. In the book it said," I drove a vehicle toward them and they would scream and bolt away. I dont know if they thought it was some sort of guided missile or what. their high-pitched screams coupled with spirits hand me doubled over.¨ pg 76]]> 2020-01-19 21:42:10 UTC https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433457249 veremnic000 https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433459853 Being the new guy Kyle was given the job to look over a 60-gunner, a 60 gunner is a light machine gun that shoots 7.62 mm rounds that get so hot when shot out the barrel of the machine gun that you need a special glove to hold it because of the temperatures that it could reach. This machine gun was so popular that it has been used sense the Vietnam war obviously with upgrades and tool fixes but its almost considered a staple to any army in the united states because of its versatility and reliability the main reason that Kyle was given the job was because no one wants the job and to get out of the job you would need to prove your self and thats exactly what Kyle did he was not afraid to be put on the spot he almost liked the pressure and intensity it brought. In the book it said, ¨Being the new guy I was the 60 gunner as I´m sure many of you know 60 refers to the M-60 general purpose machine gun a belt fed weapon that has served the U.S military in number of versions for several decades.¨pg 77]]> 2020-01-19 22:02:10 UTC https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433459853 veremnic000 https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433461285 DPV´s were vehicles that the army had issued for use that they would patrol the border across Kuwait making sure that the Iraqis weren't´t going to try and sneak across in a
preemptroy strike these vehicles were fixed with all the bells and whistles from a .50 caliber machine gun and a Mk-19 grenade launcher on the front and a M-60 on the back their was also a LAW rocket launcher a one-shot anti tank weapon that were spiritual descendants of world war II but the down side to these cars were the unreliable engine. In the car was a small Volkswagen engine that was a peace of junk and would require matince but lucky Kyle platoon had a mechanic that would do the repairs consistently. In the book it said,¨The DPVs used a small Volkswagen engine that was in my experience a piece of junk. It was probably fine in a car or maybe a dune buggy that didnt see combat. But if we took the vehicle out for two or three days we´d almost always end up working on it for the sane amount of time when we got back.¨pg 80]]> 2020-01-19 22:13:40 UTC https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433461285 veremnic000 https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433462613 Taya was a worried sum wife that wanted Kyle to be safe she would make me call all the time to make sure he was safe because some times she would watch the news and see that a helicopter went down or something along the lines and think to her self what if that was Kyle but the worst came when she was watching the news and a helicopter went down and said all the men in the helicopter died and they refereed to the men as special forces not seals and sense Kyle had not called her back she jumped to conclusion thinking he was dead trying too hold back the tears she got a call from him that he was safe and fine.]]> 2020-01-19 22:24:35 UTC https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433462613 veremnic000 https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433463225 On March 20, 2003, shortly after nightfall, Kyle´s team had a mission that they had been practicing for awhile called: Iraqi Freedom and it was finally being executed. Kyle and his 16 man platoon started taking fire from Iraqi insurgents and realized they were being surrounded. Kyle´s platoon fought for hours and once the Iraqis got close they estimated they would be killed within five minutes. Luckily, there was a transmission saying, "We're coming up on your six."

They hadn't had anything to do besides poke fun at people and gather Iraqi weapons and blow them up. Rumors spread that their platoon would be sent back home and replaced by seal team 5 but just as the orders were to be issued they finally got orders to start moving this was exhilarating it was the start of the war and a start too their platoon in the war their orders were as fallows, to push in the area of Nasiriya.]]> 2020-01-19 22:43:35 UTC https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433465224 veremnic000 https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433466498 Nasiriya is a city on the Euphrates river in southern Iraq about 125 miles northwest of Kuwait . The city its self was taken by the marines on March 31 but action in the area continued for quite some time as a small group of Iraqi soldiers and fedayeen continued to resist and attack Americans. It was near Nasiriya that Jessica Lynch was captured and held during the first few days of the war.

One day they were driving and got to close to a city and they knew they got to close because they started engaging Kyle and his team he fired back at they as they turned around and hauled ass to safety their CO or commander was angry with them because he did not want them to fight at all because of the risk it posed.]]> 2020-01-19 23:02:06 UTC https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433467356 veremnic000 https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433469084 After coming back home from deployment Kyle had a lot of time almost too much time so he enlisted for sniper school apparently it is the next hardest thing to buds only 50% of marines pass it and it too was pure hell for people. But this was nothing Kyle hadnt gone through in fact this is what he trained for the late night s and early mornings was what he was prepared too do but one thing that was different was that seal sniper training was a bit different they both fallowed the same concept but Seal training added a few of their own things sense they could not shoot at you to simulate actually combat they would mess with your head get you or try to get you too be angry and mad. But the first thing you learn at sniper school that is unexpected is how to use cameras and computers know you would think that they need to know how to use a sniper but a snipers primary target is to scan and observe the area and tell information about wear about if people places and things.]]> 2020-01-19 23:17:16 UTC https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433469084 veremnic000 https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433470244 As sniper school came to a end the final test came through the first time Kyle failed and the firing instructor went through all the things that may have went wrong with the gun the scope everything was fine and the instructor just looked at Kyle and said, ¨Dip¨ for some reason this was the key to success he laid down on the range and passed the test with flying colors and from that time forward he would snipe with dip to keep it as almost as a tradition this would later become a superstition for Kyle were his gun had to be a certain way and he had to wear a certain thing in order for him to snipe this was just how it was just like a baseball player up for bat has their batting routine he had his sniping routine.]]> 2020-01-19 23:27:56 UTC https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433470244 veremnic000 https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433471084 After sniper school Kyle reported back to his base were they would train because they would not be deployed for another year or so during this time they would do a lot of water exercise Kyle was not fond of the water as some of his platoon were their were many dangers in the water and one time during a exercise their were dolphins that the Navy was training to almost attack you if they saw you and these suckers packed a punch they could break bones because they were trained to target sides so imagine the pain you could be in but Kyle believed he found a way around them and would swim under a pier but unknown to him their were sea lions that were trained to protect the pier too so he swam right of it too because he rather get hit then bit.]]> 2020-01-19 23:37:04 UTC https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433471084 veremnic000 https://padlet.com/veremnic000/siqz6hmymqla/wish/433471909 Besides being a Seal Kyle was a Husband and after coming home Taya decided that she was ready to start a family things went well for them she got pregnant the first time they kissed without protection and the pregnancy was near perfect it was the childbirth process that got complicated.
