Three months of bagging-and-tagging bodies during Vietnam's Tet Offensive took the luster off being a Marine - but not off McPartlin's desire to serve his country. After assisting in the sea recovery of Apollo 11 - the first ship to bring men to the moon - the twenty-year-old McPartlin was redeployed to Vietnam as an elite Navy SEAL. Barred as a medic by the Geneva Convention from the make-or-break training considered vital to service as a Navy SEAL, McPartlin had to show he had what it took. But McPartlin had been in country before. In a war where soldiers partied with their buddies in Saigon one day and crawled through an enemy-infested jungle hell the next, he proved that he was not only an outstanding medic but a real Navy SEAL - the toughest of the tough.".
