Don't know but the guy in the second row second from the right wearing the hoodie looks a hell of a lot like Matt Bracken.  I'll have to ask him.

Just Cause = Panama = Late 1980s


IIRC 4 SEALS drown when their drop got fucked up.  Hence opening question.

I thought the drowning was 83 in Grenada?  Connors and the other three listed died during Patilla IIRC.


 



Edit.  Yep.  Saw it above.

A guy that worked for a friend of mine said he was a seal in the late 80's

I was shooting a few pistols at my friends house (I think it was my XD40 when it first came out).

So, this "seal" asks if he can shoot it and proceeded to take the shooters stance of any woman on youtube… you know, shoulder behind ass leaning so far back it looked like he was going to fall over.

During Desert Storm ('91) we (Combat Engineers) were placing a bunch of explosives inside an Iraqi military base/outpost getting ready to blow shit up.  This Blazer comes flying down the road and stops at our M113.  Out come 4 dudes.  3 of them are small guys.  the 4th one was as big as the swede in Heart Break Ridge.  All of them wearing t-shirts and  shorts like the ones pictured above.  Blazer says U.S. Navy on it.  Credentials are produced.  They ask us about the outpost.  We answer.  They ask us if they can go in before we blow it.  We oblige them.  

They were the most professional and polite force we met in that whole engagement.  We got shit from EOD.  We got shit from the MP's  We got shit from Arty.  Tankers treated us OK because we breached minefields form them.  

Before that I had some of those hard mother fuckers in my Jump School rotation.  They would constantly fuck with the Black hats who were some hard mother fuckers them selves. They would pick morning PT to have a dick waving contest and all that would happen is PT would last 30 minutes longer than it would have otherwise.  

Black Hat: 1,2,3,4, One.  1,2,3,4 Two 1,2,3,4 Three ....
Navy Seal: ZERO!!!
Young markl32 (to himself): Fuck....

There.  Those are my Navy Seal 80's shorts stories.
