But Eli Crane is real tight with the Charles Keating family.
It was the call almost anyone in the armed forces knows and dreads.
Eli Crane picked up the phone Tuesday to learn he was one of three Navy SEALs who had been listed to notify family in case of the death of Charlie Keating, a 31-year-old SEAL who was stationed in Iraq.
When Keating joined SEAL Team 3 in 2008, Crane had been one of the older teammates who showed him the ropes. They served together in Fallujah, Iraq, and became like brothers before Crane left the SEALs in 2014, he said.
