That is too funny Snatchel.
I have mentioned before that I was an Aviation Electronics Tech. in an F14 squadron when I was in. I volunteered to be a search and rescue swimmer, but never got orders for it. I guess they were full up at the time. It's probably just as well. Much like the comedian Ron White when it comes to being silent, when it came to the swimming part I had the desire, but not the ability. I can swim, but probably not good enough for that program even then.

Re: An American Sniper
Ah, SWCC I know. I friend of mine's kid was going into that program, but had some trouble with the swimming, ended up a gunner on a Frigate or Destroyer, and is now getting training for boarding parties.snatchel wrote:LoL. I watched him on Conan O'Brien too... It was entertaining. And yes, the fact that the money goes to support our guys made me not regret spending a dime of it.The Annoyed Man wrote:I finished the Kindle edition a couple of weeks ago. I really appreciated that he included his wife's thoughts in some sections. I saw him as a guest on Conan O'Brien's show a couple of nights ago. Conan was extremely nervous around him.....like he was afraid that one of his jokes might make Chris go ballistic and kill everyone in the room. But Kyle is a typical professional, very respectful to the civilians around him. What I really appreciate is that every dollar of profit on this book is going to support America's wounded warriors.
C-Dub, SBU stands for Special Boat Unit. We are also known as SWCC, or Special Warfare Combatant Craft Crewmen....
