I’m retired EOD ....SEAL’s need heros to....:o)
You made it to retirement! You, sir, are a hero.
I was a 2nd class diver as well as a 2nd class shipfitter/pipefitter back in the 60’s.
I ran into a SEAL at the grocery store last year. I was wearing my ship’s hat with a 2nd class crow and a diving helmet pins. I saw his SEAL hat and offered a word of Thanks to him. He saw my pin and commented that they (SEALS) had a great deal of respect for salvage divers. Blew me away. It was a just a job we did. We worked hard and we also had a lot of fun.
