More On Floyd:
Floyd is a 25 year veteran of the United States Navy and a former Navy Seal – the most elite fighting group on the planet. He applied for Navy Seal BUD/S training (the world’s most demanding qualifying school) when he didn’t even know how to swim.
Floyd failed his first attempt at BUD/S and quit on his second due to internal injuries. 3.5 years after attempt #1, he entered BUD/S for the 3rd time and graduated with Class 254.
Since then, Floyd has served his country in the most Godforsaken war zones on the planet and dedicated his life in
service to our great country, defending us from enemies foreign and domestic. He is now running for U.S. Congress.
