I was just wondering if there are any Navy Seals in our club. I am watching a biography on Navy Seal training. The stuff they have to go through and the drop rate. Are any of you Navy Seals???

I just want to offer my respect.

I was stationed at Naval Amphibious Base Coronado towards the end of my career; it is the home base of the West Coast SEALs. I never knew any SEALs personally, but I can say for sure they did not like any sort of publicity and kept a very low profile. You would always see them running on the beach and carrying around huge logs on their shoulders just for the "fun" of it (actually part of their training). I distinctly remember seeing one of their staff officers occasionally walking out to a chin-up bar outside his office (in uniform) and routinely throwing down 50 full chin-ups; I figured he was doing it to work off frustration from work! About a year or so ago the Discover channel did a three or four part series on SEAL training; I am sure you can get copies of the broadcast from them.
