But I couldn't tell you guys about it until it was over.
I worked the mid-shift Friday night into Saturday morning and a Globemaster III left NAS Oceana in the middle of the night bound for sub-Saharan Africa. Being an ex-SpecOps guy myself (USAF CCT), I knew it had to be a SEAL Team out of Little Creek with all their toys heading over to put an end to this nonsense. Low and Behold... I always loved working with those guys. Mark http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combat_Control_Team |

A great friend of mine when I was in college was a SEAL, and we used to make jokes about the differences between the different branch's special forces teams. SEALs are my favorite by far though based on what I knew.

They show a class at the Mass Maritime academy that was at a gun range.
They have the right to defend themselves. |

I'm sure there is more work for them to do. Great surgical extraction.
