Before joining the Navy, John Brown was selling surf gear in Florida. Soon after, he was jumping from helicopters as a Rescue Swimmer on multiple deployments, later advancing through SWTI — the “Top Gun” for rotary aviation — and finishing his career shaping the next generation as an instructor.
In this episode, John shares the grind of fleet life, the intensity of advanced training, and the responsibility of teaching others to carry on the mission. His journey is proof that resilience and grit can change the trajectory of a life.
