Seal: That's nothing wimp! I once free swam 100 nautical miles from anchored ship to shore off the coast of Beirut, layed 400 line of sight sub-surface mines, called for spies extraction as 40 chase cigarette boats approached, I then detonated all of the mines while I was swaying in the breeze no more than 100ft above the surface and destroyed every boat.
USMC FR: You're a *****. I was initially the only coalition soldier working north of the Southern No-Fly zone in and around Baghdad, and while I was providing mission critical information to the MEF commander, I killed an average of 11 insurgents a day over 180 days with my THUMB in order to protect my hide status.
After a short period of silence, all of the warriors' eyes turned to the Airborne Ranger who said nothing as he stirred to coals of the fire with his ****.

Hey, I just got a job application from GSG-9. Think I oughta fill it out?
Actually, I just heard of them for the first time this morning on the Military channel. I thought Germany only had Spetznaz. I am complete ignorant about anything SF/anti-terrorist/super-duper elite, unless it's US forces, and still I'm a little vague on them.
The Army needs legs too.
Salty and 1Regu, are either of you interested in checking out the open source newsletter that the TF over at OIF publishes? Let me know.
Also, 1Regu, were you still planning on sending me that book? Honestly, I'll pay you for it as well as shipping.
Thanks,
Pat

Oh man I totally forgot about that. I have been ultra busy with training + the move but I'll mail it this week I promise. And for the record Spetznaz is Russian and GSG-9 is German.
