Legendary SEAL Team 6 Operator Chris Fettes | Mike Drop Episode 242
Chris Fettes is a former U.S. Navy SEAL who served for 13 years with SEAL Team 10 and the Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU). He deployed to combat zones in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Somalia, where he served as a sniper and earned a Bronze Star at JTAC. A notable marksman, Fettes once made a 900-yard sniper shot on an enemy in Somalia, and would often bring a high-end ice cream machine on deployments to make ice cream for his teammates and local children.

After leaving the military in 2016, Fettes didn’t take the easy road. Like many veterans, the transition to civilian life came with its own set of battles. But in true warrior fashion, he forged a new path—launching 'Be Free Craft Ice Cream' in 2022, a small-batch, veteran-owned ice cream brand based in Virginia Beach. Each flavor is a tribute to his military past, blending boldness and creativity like only a seasoned operator could.
He recently provided private security for Shawn Ryan during a controversial trip to Romania—and he’s just getting started.
