Jimmy Watson - A Journey to Hell and Back

Jimmy Watson served 17 years on active duty, splitting time between the Marine Corps, Blackwater, and finally as a Navy SEAL.

Jimmy Watson served 17 years on active duty, splitting time between the Marine Corps, Blackwater, and finally as a Navy SEAL.  He completed 2 deployments as a Marine before transitioning to Blackwater and working his way to the role of Team Leader.  While in this role the Nisour Square Massacre occurred, an event that would draw FBI attention later, but by that time he was already serving at an SDV command in Hawaii as a SEAL.

I don't know the best word to describe Jimm'ys life, it has taken twists and turns that most can likely not fathom.  From leaving school at 13 to a suicide attempt in a mental hospital while fighting to stay in the military, to working from John McAfee to being on the run from the FBI, to finding redemption in faith.  Strap in for a journey, we talked about it all.
