SEAL Frogman | Cmdr. Frank 'Wet Sox' Baroud

First on deck and last to leave, Cmdr. Frank Baroud is a third-generation SEAL and the second combat diver ever awarded the Navy Cross—‘Goggles’ was the first. Baroud is known for resolving the most complex underwater and ground-based conflicts, like the time he defused multiple IEDs hidden in flooded caves beneath a US embassy. He credits his success to an impeccable attention to detail; after all, when your life depends on your gear, even a small mistake can be your last. This unwavering precision earned him the nickname ‘Wet Sox’.
