Scuba Forum / General / November 2003Question for any military/former military divers
There is a group called "Friendship Airborne" comprised of military and former military airborne (Jump Qualified) people who travel around the world jumping with foreign military units. They can even pick up foriegn wings, etc. I was wondering if there was a similar group for divers? Thanks. > There is a group called "Friendship Airborne" comprised of military > and former military airborne (Jump Qualified) people who travel around > the world jumping with foreign military units.

Where the hell are you? Diving has never been better in many ways, and it has never been more full of cheesedicks, charlatans and thieves in other ways. Up here in Gods Country we have some gen-yoo-ine divers, including a bud that rated subs and then upped for another hitch to be the corpsman for a Recon unit. You and him would be old homies week. I work for an old SF ODA E7 that builds the damn finest 'breathers out there. Oh, and O'Neil is OK, despite being a Squid. Jammer is an old leg, but we let him be a God anyway.

Colorado. I'm on a river but, as we like to say, "that was snow about fifteen minutes ago" so I figure I'll need a dry suit. I have a friend in San Fancisco that dives all over the world and we always make plans but I keep backing out on him (money, wife, kids, work, etc.) >Diving has never been better in many ways, and it has never been more full >of cheesedicks, charlatans and thieves in other ways. While I'm told I had some of the best training there was, it's been so damn long and I've forgotten so much that I know I will have to take some courses to catch up. >Up here in Gods Country we have some gen-yoo-ine divers, including a bud >that rated subs and then upped for another hitch to be the corpsman [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > >Scott Semper Fi. > Colorado.

Diving around 'Frisco sucks anyway.

Combat swimmer training prepares you for that envelope, but what we do is for fun, and is completely different, yet there are many skills that remain usefull. You need to do a refresher, but not with any of the typical agencies, because 99% of them have no idea how to relate to you or your experience. Colorado aint that far away, and we have some of the best diving on Earth here in Puget Sound and the Inside Passage. All you gotta do is get here. > >By the way, Happy Birthday early, Jarhead. > Semper Fi. Semper Fi. Band of Brothers, like no others, mean as snake sh.t and twiced as nasty. Scott Charlie Cloud <skunkrain@earthlink.net> pounded away at his keyboard resulting in: :Colorado. I'm on a river but, as we like to say, "that was snow about :fifteen minutes ago" so I figure I'll need a dry suit. Or, better yet, an airport.

It's hard to insult me if it's all true! :-) I used to mix it up with those boys in a little bar down an ally behind the Mariposa on Magsiayia back in the day. Oh, to be young again! > I used to mix it up with those boys in a little bar down an ally > behind the Mariposa on Magsiayia back in the day. Oh, to be young > again!

Hey, come to think of it, I'm an ex-Navy diver... Well, I was in the Navy and I dove recreationally back then, so that makes me an ex-Navy diver, right? <grin> Yeah, not quite the same thing was it? Well, to somewhat imitate those obnoxious Holidy Inn Express commercials, how about "I got drunk at the same bar as some SEALs in San Diego"... <burp> |
