There used to be a Hooters just outside of Providence in Warwick. That blows...
It may still be there...could be operator error on my part when I was mashing buttons on the Hooters locator machine.

An enlisted guy might choose to go warrant because 1) they are passionate about training/changing the community via that vehicle 2) they are tied down with a lot of family obligations and realize that warrants will rarely deploy overseas (as stated earlier they are heavily utilized in a training capacity), or 3) they hate O’s and, similarly, are not fond of senior enlisted duties in the Teams either. LDOs used to exist in the Teams but don’t anymore (could be wrong but I’m pretty confident). The Teams have a hard enough time trying to figure out what to do with warrants, we don’t use the LDO program for the very same reason.

In the Teams what you’ll realize is the best rank is E6. You’re senior enough to push the younger guys out of the way and maximize your own shooting opportunities overseas and yet you are not senior enough to have all the administrative obligations. If you ask any frogman if they could stay an E6 shooter forever, would they? The answer would be 99% yes

Hahahahaha, I just read that post.....that sounds like a great time to me!
@froggystyle...in your opinion as a very successful SEAL, what qualities to be successful regarding BUD/S and SEAL training have you experienced and witnessed?

Easy day @mad dog . Be able to put everything into perspective, nothing is really as bad as it seems. And being able to find humor in EVERYTHING. There is nothing like laughing during an evolution that would break mortals.

Is OCS letting you keep your phone/internet this entire time?
Royer, Chief...thanks for the reply...also, when we would venture to the NAB Coronado gym (as a change of pace from our NASNI gym), we’d see quite a few individuals wearing dark blue t-shirts that had the text of “The Easiest Day Was Yesterday”...or something similar to that.
You dudes are downright nutty...AND I thank the Lord that we have nutty dudes like yourself and your peers. Thank you for your service, Chief.

I wonder if the instructors at OCS tell the SEALS coming through to be officer, or just ask nicely? I mean do you really want to upset a person who is an expert at doing things without ever being heard?
