When Damone Brown enlisted in the US Army, the path to the Army's Special Forces was a rare journey for a black man. Few blacks existed across all military branches of Special Operations -Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. Among the millions of brave black men who serve, less than four percent have broken into the elite Special Forces and even fewer have become Combat Divers.
Dive into the pages of this book to uncover the invaluable lessons Damone learned through the Army's most grueling school: the Special Forces Combat Diver Qualification Course, known as CDQC or simply "dive school." From heart-pounding training sessions to the intense realities of the battlefield, Damone rejected the stereotype that black people can't swim and fought through physical, and emotional barriers, and seemingly insurmountable odds.
Damone's journey to becoming a Green Beret ignited a relentless drive, propelling him beyond mere achievement to conquer greater goals and join the elite ranks of combat divers. His story is more than an autobiography; it's a source of motivation for anyone with unfulfilled dreams. It reminds us that God is faithful and will empower us to fulfill our destiny.
Damone Brown, MDIV, MBA is the founder and CEO of Olive Drab Technologies LLC, and a retired US Army Green Beret. He resides in the Washington DC area with his wife and children.
