Summary of David Philipps's Alpha

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Craig Miller was the second-in-charge of Alpha platoon, and he was in charge of Eddie Gallagher. Miller was a tall Texan who liked to wear cowboy boots and didn't fuck around when it came to laying down the law. #2 In 2016, Eddie became the platoon chief for Alpha platoon. The two platoons were at a remote Navy installation called La Posta in the dry, rocky Laguna Mountains fifty miles east of San Diego.
They were there for close-quarters combat training. #3 The game consisted of Alpha and Bravo teams having to assemble their pistols as fast as possible. The first team to finish could take the magazine holding the single round in the center of the table, slam it into their gun, and shoot the other new guy in the chest. It was a test of weapon knowledge and performance under pressure. #4 Alpha had been known as one of the worst platoons in SEAL Team 7 for a number of years.
But it had quickly become the best. A big reason for that was Chief Eddie Gallagher.
