출판사 설명
The memoir of a man who spent most of his career facing death.
For UDT/SEAL team member Gary R. Smith, just being part of an elite military organization wasn’t enough—he had to be in the thick of the action. Because in bloody, violent Vietnam he learned there’s no stronger bond than the one forged in the gut-wrenching chaos of combat. During ambushes, PRU combat patrols, and extractions from hot LZs, Smith depended on the courage and sacrifice of his fellow SEALs, who time and again placed their own lives on the line so that he might survive.
In Master Chief, Gary Smith covers his fifth tour in Vietnam and his rise to the highest enlisted rank, master chief petty officer. Characteristically, Smith holds nothing back when describing life during wartime in one of the world’s toughest fighting units.
Based on the author's own experience, as well as his own and others’ diaries, letters, and documents, and on extensive interviews, Master Chief is an outstanding memoir of a warrior who answered the call to arms when
his country needed him.

Master Chief by Gary smith
Great book in joy all his books on experience in Nam as a seal I was in the military in 1974-1980 so I did love his story.
Informative sharing
It was interesting to read of an earlier navspecwar perspective as this era was still UDT frogmen. As an active service member of the period I can empathize with the transition from the shooting war of Vietnam to the peace time Navy. The book is not a detailed description of bloody combat but more so it is just as titled. A diary, a perhaps a somewhat typical life of team guy during the period.
