MASTER CHIEF GRIFFIN

MASTER CHIEF MADISON

Our Instructors, younger and older, are among the finest in Naval Special Warfare and their backgrounds are diverse.  We pool from dozens of SEALs for our courses and have personally worked with each man, often suffering together in some unique way that we look back at today and can only shake our heads in amazement and laugh. Many of those hardships, unfortunately, we brought on ourselves.

Our younger SEALs are combat tested in Afghanistan and Iraq and are fierce warriors.

Our older guys have “been there and done that” and are the hardest men on the planet.  No one retires as a SEAL... they survive it.  These select few we are fortunate to have simply inspire anyone they come in contact with.  

Younger or older, all combat proven, these guys will ensure that trainees get their money’s worth at Extreme SEAL Experience.

I do not list my Active Duty Instructors for security reasons...

Master Chief SEAL Aaron Griffin (ret). Aaron retired after 30 years in 2007. His background in SEAL Team is legendary as a Combat Swimmer and Winter Warfare Instructor. Decorated for Valor twice during the first Gulf War while temporarily assigned to the British Special Boat Service.

Master Chief SEAL Jim Maddog Madison (ret) . Maddog retired in 2007 after 30 years of service. His background in Special Warfare is diverse and ranges from Winter Warfare to Jungle Warfare and everything in between. Maddog also served with the British Special Boat Service. Jim was decorated for Valor as a SEAL Platoon Chief in Somalia.

Chief Petty Officer SEAL John Sullivan (ret). Sully retired in 2006 after 20 years as a SEAL. His accomplishments in SEAL Team are numerous but Sully is best known for coolness under pressure. Having spent much time with him over the years and in many situations, I have never seen him as anything but level-headed and unflappable when things start going bad. Sully served in numerous campaigns as well as Bosnia.
