Encounters with military divers

[dbg40]

Or..... Most times, when you have had your fill, you just leave. and put that part of your life behind you, and never speak of it again, or tell anyone of it. a-n-y-o-n-e. Some things are too personal to convey to others, 3% of the population are labeled as sociopathic, of that 3%, 1% can be conditioned to be a controlled sociopath. Thats nothing to be running around bragging about, and bears a high cost later in life. A controlled sociopath, still, unfortunately, has a concience. A bragger is usually a liar, or washout. Believe little of what you hear, and don't ask questions, even if you suspect. If anthony appleyard wants to know that badly, go to the nearest recruting office and have a ball, Then somone can badger you later in life. You'll love it.

But the public hears the explosion and the newspapers raise a fuss.

I doubt many would hear a concussion grenade at a depth of ten feet.

Better use powerful ultrasound.

Ultrasound would be too inefficient. A better plan would be to dig up an old AN/SQS-23. That can send someone's lungs out his ears at a pretty low cost. The concussion grenade, on the other hand, does not require installation.

Or, if the intruders are captured, they can be interrogated to find what else they have seen in other places

Someone that stupid does not need to be interrogated and I see no point in risking one of my people to fetch him so someone can do it.

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

:: a real right time, if a naval-type interrogator acts as if he refuses to believe that there could ever be such a thing as diving for pleasure :: some naval types are like that.

I have no idea what you are getting at with the rest of your message.

Have a nice life.

Speaking of badass SEALS, Mr Rodgers was a decorated SEAL

What an interesting discussion. I've met a couple of seals and other special forces guys. None of them seemed to be of the "If I tell you I'll have to shoot you" mentality. Having said that when I did work in Naval Research the ones who said that most were the ones without clearance!

I've also spoken with a couple of military divers (not combat divers), they constantly complained about how they were treated, how crap their equipment was etc., They had more injuries than any man who ever saw combat!

The other thing many people don't realise is that often those special forces guys are only trained in firearm usage and a very brief training in knife work. My martial arts instructor at one time ran a special class for special forces and said they were tough, would do anything, but could they fight hand to hand or defend against a knife? If they could it wasn't because of military training!

Um, no. See here, and a related story here.

Has anyone called the Department of Homeland security yet? I think this is how it starts. . .

OK. I'm unsubscribing from this thread now. Oh brother.....

Seems like a weird kind of troll to me.

WHich of you have been in contact with military divers? I mean assault frogmen, not armed forces' work divers. What are assault frogmen trained and equipped to do in a real war (not in training) if while on a mission they come across sport divers who might raise the alarm and thus endanger the mission?

My best friend has been in the US Navy since 1988 and his first 8 years was station at Norfolk. He would occasionally go out with the SEALS for some practice dives during off hours. He was telling me on the first night dive with the SEALS they grabbed his light, turned it off, and had some fun with him…tugging of the fins…turning on and off air…etc. They told him they did this to see if he would panic; and he didn’t, so from then on he had some diving buddies at the base while they were in town. My friend is still in the Navy but now in the reserves until retirement.
