Look, I'm not trying to defend the guy, just give him the benefit of the
doubt. If you look at the following:


*    1985 - 1990 US Navy active duty and reserve - stationed at RTC San
Diego, CA, Fleet Anti-Submarine Warfare Training Center Pacific, Naval
Special Warfare Center/Basic

-He spent a 3 year stint in the US Military and went to reserves for 2
years. Did his duty to his country.

*    Underwater Demolition/Seal Training, Seal Team 5 TAD

-He was TAD = temporary additional duty (non-unit-related personnel)
training (presumably SCUBA) to team 5 members. This could have involved
humping tanks or being a safety diver for all we know. SEALs get plenty of
training from non-SEALs and even SEALs need to learn SCUBA somewhere, they
are not born with gills.

*    1988 Marine mammal handler and trainer for ZooVet Busch Gardens, Tampa,
FL 

-You can do the same thing here at the Marine Science Museum but it don't
pay squat. But you do get free scuba gear.

*    1988 - 1991 Special projects coordinator, diving safety officer and
marine mammal trainer for the Dolphin Research Center, Grassy Key, FL

-The Dolphin Research Center in Grassy Key is no doubt the best place on
Planet Earth to nail tanned, big-titted "eco-babes." Sounds like a good gig
to me.

You guys have your panties in a wad because his brain dead deep air diving
buddies who can't read a military resume have ass-umed that Tysall was a
SEAL. Tysall should put the kybosh on this SEAL crap or I will agree with
you that he is a BS artist, and I hope that is not the case.
