About the Guest
Billy Allmon is “a retired Navy
SEAL and honorably served his country from 1969 to 1993. He retired as a chief
petty officer, and is a combat veteran of three wars. While in the SEALs, Mr.
Allmon participated in numerous covert and overt missions around the world in
support of US and foreign governments, militaries, and other official
agencies.” Billy Allmon is the author of When the Bullet Hits Your Funny Bone: The
Essence of a U.S. Navy SEAL.
According to the book description
of When
the Bullet Hits Your Funny Bone: The Essence of A U.S. Navy Seal, it
“is a collection of true events about the author's time in U.S. Navy SEAL Teams
and how SEALs use their humor to cope with all sorts of tragic events that they
experience in their professional careers. This book offers the reader a
personal glimpse into the minds of America's most elite warriors. The stories
explain how SEALs bond with each other to become brothers-in-arms through their
difficult training and tactical missions. This book also explains why SEALs use
extreme humor, on themselves and others, in order to cope with a job that
places these professional warriors face to face with death on almost a daily
basis. There are are those who say that
it is not logical to run into the face of danger, perhaps that explains why
most people think that SEALs are crazy. We prefer to look danger in the eye and
not run from it, perhaps this also explains why there are not so many of
us. When The Bullet Hits Your Funny Bone
takes the reader on an emotional roller-coaster ride of tragedy and laughter,
giving the reader a complete inner circle view into the professional and
personal lives of America's most elite warriors.
