full of piss and vinegar, this thread is.
Meek and mild compared to Team Room antics. A few Thai hookers would definately help though.
Oh, btw, the reason I asked if you were actually in 1/1 was because my dad did a tour as a forward air controller with them back in the 80s. He loved it, but driving 53s was more his style.
I can only imagine the thrill of driving such a beast as a 53. I’ve spent a fair amount of time casting, SPIEing, parachuting and just riding them but piloting one is an experience I’ll never know.

If you teach there, you’d think you could at least spell “Pendleton” as in Camp Pendleton. lol
I learned at least that much while I was stationed there.[/quote]
being able to properly spell the name of a place doesn’t mean anything does it? i wasn’t stationed there. i was hired to work there for a week. Ive been to alot of places that i cant spell
“Kathmandu” Nepal is one i struggled with for a while.

Honestly recon is very appealing to me, and the idea of getting injured at BUDS and getting stuck in a lame job for 4 years is pretty terrifying. But after talking to some SEALS it just sounds like that is the life that i want. I haven’t talked to any Recon guys yet.
Any Force Recon on here?
Thank you
settle down? haha. no man, thats not me at all. I broke my back when i was 19. Thats one of the reasons why i didn’t join when my friend did. he went into BUDS at age 31, got a waiver.
I really wouldn’t go for SEALs at your age. Catch a cold right before BUDS and you’ll be sitting in a chair for 4 years, like you said.
Also, to kind of be a dick, what has made you want to join now? We started fighting right when you were the perfect age to be a grunt. Ever going to settle down?

To be a SEAL, from my prospective as a 30yr NAVSPECWARCOM Officer, BUDS 117.
It is not about training or physical conditioning. It is about your oath and your duty to the Constitution of the United States of America. It is to solemly hold your values and principals as sacred and sovereign, It is to go into the darkness and meet that greatest of enemies, Yourself.
In this place where few will go, there will you find your metal, the Iron of your soul.

“being able to properly spell the name of a place doesn’t mean anything does it?”
Well…maybe you could go SF and be an 18B. Most SOF occupations do require higher ASVAB scores.
Just joking with you. There are a lot of posers on the net, some things are kinda obvious like a Marine that can’t spell Reconnaissance, or Sergeant for example.
Just to clarify, Craig Weller writes articles on here, not me.
amphibian, go fuck yourself
We might not go to BUD/S(did you?), but we do all the same physical evolutions. Where they get into diving and land warfare, we are learning to navigate and fix the tools of our trade. I never claimed to be anything other than what I am, a fucking boat driver. I merely made suggestions on some good prep material.
“but we do all the same physical evolutions.”
Any SEALs want to comment on that? I’ll get my popcorn, I’ve already seen this one play out many times.
