Admiral McRaven was given the title "Bullfrog" as the Navy SEAL who had served the longest on active duty. He received this honor in 2011 when he took charge of the United States Special Operations Command, after which he retired in 2014 with 37 years of service under his belt.

Over the course of his career, he led men and women at every level of the special operations community and dealt with numerous leadership challenges, including commanding combat operations such as the capture of Saddam Hussein, the rescue of Captain Phillips, and the raid for Osama bin Laden.
