That Esquire article is so full of fail it's not even funny. I got about a 1/3 of the way through it before I quit reading.
I still can't get around the 'canaries' thingy....oh well, thats public schools for you.

The classic example is the "canary in the coal mine". Well into the 20th century, coal miners brought canaries into coal mines as an early-warning signal for toxic gases, primarily carbon monoxide.[2] The birds, being more sensitive, would become sick before the miners, who would then have a chance to escape or put on protective respirators.
I met some fat/old MSG types in Delta that were no longer doing the deed, but weren't getting kicked out of the unit anytime soon. Plenty of things a guy can do in those units trying to ride out to retirement.I think he said because he doesn't get a rush from two way ranges any more.. Surely he could have taken a desk job somewhere?
Google is your friend... :-"
In my very humble opinion, I truly feel for the unnamed operator in the article if he really is struggling.
...but with that said, for the unnamed operator to make it into that command he had to have been a great Frogman (its probably the toughest path out there) and for him to make team leader within that command is pretty astounding. He may not necessarily want to commit to Government contracting, or potentially "move on up to the next level", but with his experience - the pay would definitely remedy his situation.
I'm sorry If I came off as a douche...I did. I'm going to shut up and leave you guys alone. Sorry.I have a strong feeling that you saw an opportunity to spew "OPERATOR" and "FROGMAN" and just couldn't resist. I looked at your profile and wouldn't you know it.... "OPERATOR" was there. You're 18...wtf do you know about what is "the toughest path out there"?
Go do PT...

Owens real name leaked in a matter of days. If he's legit (and if I. is right), will it be the same with this guy?
DOH! Everyone knows Obama got Osama!If this is legit, I wouldn't be surprised to see a name in 48 hours or so.
