I had grand illusions of trying for the UDT or divers when I enlisted. There is no way I could have done this. However, the last ship I was on, the USS Kauffman, was named after 2 admirals that basically instituted and formed the SEALS/UDT teams during WW2.
Enjoyed watching the Dive School video. My husband (a retired Master Diver) and I were in Panama City last spring for a Master Diver Reunion which is held there every two years. We had an opportunity to tour the Dive School and meet some of the instructors there and it is quite impressive. Those guys work hard to become Navy divers and their hard work shows. They are in great physical shape! There are many changes since he taught at the Dive School in Washington, D.C. back in the 70's....many good changes. The divers are a close-knit group (both active and retired). Really enjoyed watching the video.
Without a doubt, I would fail! lol,it sucks to get old.
