![]() "Eric Scheie" Depending on what stories you want to believe, there were at one time, some SEALS who had taken flight training, ostensibly to provide them with enough knowledge to fly certain civilian aircraft. To be fair, however, I did know a fellow who had been a crew chief on UH-1s with the Army in Vietnam. His story was that he was given just enough training to enable him to fly the aircraft in the event of the pilots being killed or wounded. I have no reason to question the veracity of his story, and he never claimed to be an Army aviator, though I've never heard or read of an instance where this happened. V/R Eric Scheie OK folks. I'm done. I don't know why it's so hard to accept. A call to DEVRON would clear your mind on this as well. This was not braggart idle boast that led to a sea story. It is ....what it is. The Admiral would not have talked about it at his retirement if this was a scheme cooked up to boast. Sorry folks. I emailed the retirement program to Jack Donovan so he could satisfy himself. Not trying to make waves just presented a little known fact/program and got flamed for it. |

OK folks. I'm done.
Great, no more sea stories. I don't know why it's so hard to accept. Because we are not as gulliable as you are. A call to DEVRON would clear your mind on this as well. Nope, your the one with the ludicrus claims, you need to call and get your story straight. This was not braggart idle boast that led to a sea story. It is ....what it is. It sure is, "a sea story" Not trying to make waves just presented a little known fact/program and got flamed for it. May have been a "program" but not fact |
