PLEASE READ AND SHARE
We at @forgedclothing would like to address the ridiculous accusations that @prattprattpratt supports white supremacy because he wears our “Don’t Tread On Me” T-Shirt.
First and foremost, we are a Navy SEAL-founded, patriotic, and military-inspired brand. Our CEO and members of our Forged team served alongside military service members of all races, cultures, and ethnicities. As we fought for our country, many of us wore the 1st Navy Jack flag on the sleeves of our uniforms, which the Gadsden military-authorized flag is based on. This incredibly powerful symbol was one of the first flags flown by our Continental Navy since 1776 and is still widely used by our military forces today.
Secondly, @prattprattpratt has been a great friend and loyal supporter of Forged since our paths crossed back in 2011. Since then, his support has helped both @forgedclothing and the @murphchallenge raise millions of dollars for military and law enforcement families and foundations. He has never ONCE asked for a dime in return and has always used his own funds and resources to help promote these campaigns in honor of others. @prattprattpratt is by far one of the most humble and selfless Americans we have ever known. We will ALWAYS have his back.
And finally, we are not @nike. The four tweets that have been posted by small-minded people with myopic views (one of which has already been deleted) DO NOT scare us. We will not back down and recall our Gadsden Flag shirts. Instead, we are going to re-release this design. So to the few ignorant critics offended by our patriotism and Chris Pratt’s patriotism...Standby. This one is for you! PLEASE SHARE THIS MESSAGE AND HELP US SUPPORT @prattprattpratt AGAINST THESE ACCUSATIONS.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” - The Man in the Arena by Theodore Roosevelt

It’s 3 am. I’m in full tactical dive gear. Wetsuit, fins, knife, compass, tac board, utility belt, hood, mask, gloves. Time for the Draeger. As I hang the rebreather around my neck, I wish that it was a simple backpack oxygen tank, not a 30 lb temperamental rig that straps onto my chest.
•
I also wish I was about to SCUBA dive in the Bahamas with my wife. But this is Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training, and I am about to spend 4 hours deep underwater, learning how to locate and destroy an enemy target.
•
The beauty of the Draeger is the scrubber unit that turns the CO2 laden air you breathe out back into oxygen. Your rig doesn’t release any CO2 bubbles that give away your underwater presence. Your air supply lasts longer than an open circuit rig.
•
Elegant, yes. But the actual experience is like breathing out of a bag. You never feel like you are getting quite enough air. Your ears ache from O2 bubbles getting trapped in your middle ear. It takes hours to prep your rig. Mistakes can be deadly.
•
I blow out as much air as I can, insert the mouthpiece, and feel the Draeger release oxygen as it starts to inflate. 2 minutes to make sure everything is working, and we slide into the black water.
•
Another week in BUD/S hell.
•
Takeaway: You don’t have to like it. You just have to do it.
•
•
•
Double tap if you like underwater diving
•
Tag someone who can’t get enough of the water

We deliberately add stress to Green Beret candidates. It is ingrained in our training.
•
I hear over and over that stress is unhealthy. However, the body’s natural fight or flight responses are meant to be protective.
•
As humans we gravitate towards the path of least resistance- because it’s EASY and less STRESSFUL.
•
Learning to deal with stressful situations WILL make future endeavors easier to navigate. This is the concept behind all our Special Forces training. We add intangibles and train for the stress.
•
Stress can help you perform better and achieve your goals. Without it you are in the slow lane.
•
The way you consider stress is the determining factor. Focus under the lens of productivity and not negativity.
•
Stress has inherent benefits you must take advantage of.

He’s standing at the top of the down escalator, I’m standing at the bottom of the up escalator. Atlanta International is humming. There’s a press of people behind each of us. Can’t see him clearly, but I know he’s a Navy SEAL.
•
Even without the Gatorz sunglasses, Solomon kicks, Patagonia jackets, and Kuhl pants favored in the Teams, there’s a physical confidence, an easy but decisive way of moving. Straight back, good hair.
•
Passing on the escalator, I recognize him. Turns out I’m face to face with @jasonredmanww, 21 years on the Teams. Injured in Iraq. Started the clothing line Wounded Wear. Damn, I wish I could talk to this guy.
•
At the top of the escalator, I look down. Both of us are in civilian clothes. His career had ended just as my 7 years in the Teams started. I’d been out now for 18 months. Make a point when I travel to ditch the telltale clothes and shoes. We’d both remade ourselves as entrepreneurs.
•
Didn’t matter. He’s waiting. He’d clocked me for a SEAL too.
•
“Teams?” I nod. He smiles. We shake hands. “Good to see you bro.”
•
Takeaway: Even in one of the busiest airports in the world, active or retired, SEALs can spot each other a mile away.
•

**Jason wrote & then pinned this now famous ‘orange note’ to his hospital door while he recovered from his injury.**

Double tap if you can spot your friends & family from a mile away
