Local man claims he could be US Navy SEAL after Fortnite victories

BOSTON — A 32-year-old Boston man claims his success on the popular video game “Fortnite” could lead to a successful career as a United States Navy SEAL.

Dave McTavern, who goes by gamertag “SkillzDatKillz6969,” pronounced his intentions to enlist into the SEAL training program to his nearly 250,000 followers on the popular live video streaming service Twitch last week.

McTavern’s boast came soon after posting 158 solo victories in the popular multiplayer video game, which has captured the attention of some of the most popular athletes and celebrities around the world.

The objective of Fortnite is easy: Parachute out of the sky onto a small island that is full of buildings, weapons, and 99 other players looking to kill you. Be the last one alive and victory is yours.
