Encounters with military divers

[H2Andy]

they grabbed his light, turned it off, and had some fun with him…tugging of the fins…turning on and off air…etc.

that's not fair. how can they see when you keep shooting them the bird?

Just hang out at your lds for a while. By my calculations, since the SEALS were formed there have been approximately 19,988,344 members. Everytime someone comes in either their brother, father, son, husband and/or boyfriend, neighbor, cousin or granddaddy was a SEAL.

In reality, probably most of us have met special forces people, not just SEALS, at some point and time. Maybe even dived with them. If they really were, they don't have to tell you. I did work with a couple of SEALS when I was in the Navy and most of the time they were just regular guys. It was when they got that special "glint" in their eyes that you had to wonder what was about to happen.

As far as I'm concerned. All of the military falls into the catagory of Special Forces.

If you really want this idiot alive, use a cast net.

I have heard before of naval ships using a fishing trawl net to get unidentified unauthorized divers out of the water. I know what a fishing trawl is; but please in detail what is a "cast net"? There are many shapes and designs of fishing nets.

Him in the attached image looks like a (handy?) sort of chap in underwater action:-
"Yes, Serge, I'm the relief man that base sent while Patrolman Eddington's off at court ... I thought the courts had stopped that silly trick, taking men off patrol as witnesses instead of accepting their reports as true, and then the culprit pleads guilty and he wasn't needed after all ... I got fed up of defence lawyers interrogating me like a criminal ... yes, I'm a "special model", Nature got things a bit wrong ... in bushes in the grounds of a Hindu temple, what did my parents expect might happen!? ... I won all the breast-stroke swimming races at school ... yes, the sub brought me, I've got orders from the sub's skipper to pass to you for you to help us to help find and sink that "floating gin palace" La Parisienne that's been living off everybody's nets and keep-boxes and now it's around here ... said that laparos is Greek for "abdomen", it fits, that `big belly' loose around here ... I'm ready ... if they try anything, they'll soon find what my ultrasound gun is for, and my APS.".
The object behind him on the deck is a Protei-5

This thread seems to be turning rapidly into a teenaged blog site.

Do you all not realize just how much you are being F--k with here. The guy ( I think ) is playing you all like a not so well balanced Violin and it sounds horrible.

And I do agree with the posts now when I said " can you say paranoid" If you are a combatant come diving with me I know of some awesome places they train at in the BC coast like Hole in the wall, Dent rapids, Skookumchuk Rapids I'll help you get in and you see if you can find them. Trust me the dives are safe. Bone head.

Are you related to Anthony? Oh my God my side hurts so bad from laughing so hard!

Where do you people come up with this crap?

Sorry. I made the last image in Dec 2002. I had a bout of being too imaginative. I am sorry if I have annoyed anybody.

Anthony,
While we all like to enjoy a bit of levity from time to time, most of us take the posts on this board with a certain amount of seriousness.

While your initial post may have been a valid question, the direction you've taken with your subsequent posts is, at the least, a bit strange.

Throw in a chuckle from time to time, but please try to keep your posts in realms which most of us can understand.

I imagine you may be getting a private visit from a moderator before long.

And I get my post pulled. Nice. Let's tippy toe around this kid some more. Maybe a trip to the doc isn't such a bad idea. But oh ya, can't say that on SB.
