Buckle up, because Ones Ready is dropping a banger with Anthony “Donny” Donahue, a guy who’s lived more lives than a cat with a death wish. From dodging jail time to crushing Navy SEAL BUD/S, serving as one of the only Arabic-speaking SEALs in Iraq, and then—because why not?—ditching his officer gig to become an Air Force Pararescueman, Donny’s story is a middle finger to the ordinary. Now, he’s gunning to be the U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines, repping his fourth-generation Filipino roots and a military legacy that screams badassery. Aaron unpacks his journey with zero chill, from battlefield interrogations with Jocko to raw-dogging life without a phone in 2025 (yes, really). This episode is a Molotov cocktail of grit, sarcasm, and a call to rally the SOF community to get Donny’s name in front of the right eyes.
Key Takeaways:
- Donny went from juvenile trouble to VMI to SEAL Team glory—proof the system can’t tame a savage with a purpose.
- Two years in Iraq as an Arabic-speaking SEAL? Yeah, he was the unicorn Jocko’s platoon didn’t know they needed.
- Resigning his commission to go enlisted PJ was peak “screw your desk job” energy—respect the hustle.
- No phone, just an iPad mini and Wi-Fi vibes—Donny’s living like it’s 1995, and we’re low-key jealous.
- Ambassador to the Philippines? His Filipino DNA and SOF street cred make him the guy to bridge nations, no cap.
