Sam the desert SEAL, (no flippers)

So most of you know about my buddy Sam who is a Navy Seal. He funished up 'Buds' (Basic Underwater Demolions, Seal) about a year ago, got assigned to team three (no that doesn't really mean anything anymore) and went to Iraq for the end of his teams deployment. His job was to hand around a certain spot and just wait to get shot at basicly. I guess another part of his team was in another area and the the 25 killed over 200 Insurgents.

"They deserved it" he said.

Whats kind of funny is that he is still pretty liberal, he just always wanted to be the best. His Mom was 'shocked and awed' When he finished paramedic school in Colorado and joined the Navy. Jordan Sanders and I were expecting it.

He was droped from buds twice, once during hell week for getting SIPE (swimming induced pulmonary edema) and again from the next class when he fell off the his mountain bike, off duty, and smashed his wrists up.

I guess he made the mistake of telling the instructors he could draw, so they made him draw a cartoon on the board everyday before class. "And it has to be funny"



This is him on the right. I guess they have to blur out their faces, and they don't wear name tags or rank in the field, not sure why, thats just how special forces roll I guess. You can see they make the young guys use the SAW (the big machine gun he has)





I have no idea what that thing they're driving is, I think the wreckage is a russian MIG we shot down though.
