Prologue: Agent Jessica Sawyer

My father died in Mogadishu, Somalia 1993. He was part of Task Force Ranger in Operation Gothic Serpent as a Operator of 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta. He was shot multiple times and was rushed back to base but was already dead when he succumbs peacefully from his gunshot injuries. I was 12 when he died. The only person who raised me was my mother. She worked her ass off giving me clothes, food, shelter, good schools and keeping me safe. That's the kind of mom I love. I really wished that she wasn't a smoker. After High School, I was thinking of joining the military to be like my father, to follow his foots steps. Not joining the army...but joining the Navy to be a Navy SEAL. I heard that they're the best of the best. SEAL stands for SEa, Air and Land. SEALs are the U.S. Navy's primary special operations force and a component of the Naval Special Warfare Command. I was almost declined because I'm a woman and women can't be soldiers nor be in special forces. I was the first female to be in the US Navy SEALs. I survived Hell Week and was put in Alpha Platoon which is a sniper element of SEAL Team Three. I wasn't the best sniper as Chris Kyle (The Legend), who had 160 confirmed kills during four tours in Iraq between 2003 and 2009 but I'm a pretty good sniper. I was deployed to Iraq after the 9/11 Terrorist Attack. It was pretty fucked up of what happened to those innocent people and that it happened in America. Now I know what I was fighting for. This is a story about how I became a agent of the Central Intelligence Agency and what I did. My name is Jessica Sawyer...and this is my story.
