So You Want to Be a Frogman is not your garden-variety combat-themed account written by a former Navy SEAL turned author. It is not a guide for how to get in shape, nor does it address guidelines for training or principles of leadership utilized within the Special Forces community.

Instead, Thomas Mixon offers a light-hearted, self-deprecating, satirical examination of his life in the form of a series of stories that describe various events starting from an early age and continuing through adulthood. Have you ever imagined what it would be like to party with a full-fledged, exceedingly handsome, slightly corrupt Navy SEAL and a group of his buddies?

Do the next best thing: Read about it.
