The fam and I went snorkeling near Captain Cook in Hawaii today. We were on a small inflatable rib with 2 other families. One that we chatted up was a family about 10 years older than us or so from Wisconsin.

The dad had navy adjacent tattoos all over and was very comfortable in the water. We were shooting the shit about different oceans and he was talking about training with rebreathers and 2 mile pitch black night swims.

Based on where he told me he trained he was a Special Ops Marine Combat Diver.

I’m not entirely certain, but I think those guys are pretty elite soldiers.
