Was he smaller (at least in weight) when he served?  I take you at your word about your friend 100% but SpecFor guys usually tend to run toward “average” size and often smaller. A humongous guy in those communities is pretty rare.

He was thinner when he served. That was his weight when I met him. He had been out about 10 years when I met him. He was not in a good place and was a scary man.

I have two cousins who served in Special Forces. Both were in the Iraq War.

One of them found himself in a pretty bad place later on as well, but I don't necessarily think it had to do with his military experiences.

My friend started to drink pretty heavy and run around with a bad crowd of people. It ended up costing his marriage and his legs.

Those guys are actually taking it easy on them compared to what they actually go through in real navy seal training. Actual navy seals would call this summer camp.

Bro, this is nothing compared to SERE training. Like everyone would make it through. 100%.

That's the Seal training program, right?

Oh no! That's BUD/S. That ish is completely different. I'm confident in saying no one on that show would last a day at BUD/S. No one. Some of them might die. IF they let them do it. 

I seriously considered going Navy SEAL. I was 165 pounds as a 19 year old. Benched 365, Squat 485, ran a 4.59 40 yard, 4.12 shuttle, 37" vertical (only 5'8"), ran 1.5 miles in 9:15. Pretty athletic. 

We had an actual SEAL in my graduating class. I was nothing to him. Nothing. Easily the most mentally strong person I'd ever met.

Decided I'd just drive Navy destroyers and fire some TOMAHAWK missiles instead.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
