You know Andy, that's a good point
When we were talking yesterday, I mentioned the bird/trident that his mother had stuck to the fridge.
He said, yeah, back in the "community" hardly anyone wears anything that identifies them as SEALS. They prefer to keep a low profile to stay out of trouble. You know, the local idiot that want's to take you one "because" you're a SEAL.
He said "I don't want to have to explain to my CO why (name witheld) laid some jerk on his ass when he tried him!
(believe me, and it has little to do with his SEAL training....I've seen him fight.....I don't think he'd have any difficulty doing just that
)
That said, he referred to thier teams as the "
silent professionals."
They go out, train for and do thier jobs, and come home to thier families. No hoorah, no press, just get it done and get out
He's very low key about it all.
Jack....those are awesome pictures!
It's one thing to see a tank loaded into a transport. But to see a SEMI and a BLACKHAWK (correct?) coming out the nose!
Killer shots, and thanks for your service.
Thor/Beepster/Andy and all the rest of you-

I have learned to appreciate all members no matter what branch (I was a Flight Engineer on the C-5 Galaxy most of my career).
