erm, if you weren't listening properly, she was trained by her husband, and did active service along side him for blue cross in Angola during the 70's..scantrontb wrote:true as for the semantics of the sentence, but i agree with the Sgt... trained "as a seal" implicitly implies that she is undergoing said training, given by Official Seal Trainers, therefore she would only be allowed to attend the courses by being enlisted to BECOME a Seal... ergo G.I. Jane... the Demi Moore movie about a female Seal... not sure if it was based on a true story, or if it was pure Hollywood, but... a quick Google search shows the Navy Seal and Army Ranger programs will, in theory be open to females sometime in late 2015/16... so i'm not sure how to take this, is she just a well trained Martial Artist, and doesn't want to whack somebody by accident? or have they opened up training early and she's one of them?Grantwhy wrote:sorry to butt in, but
to my mind "navy seals trained" is not the same as "is a navy seal"
i thought you were talking about the reference to the Popeye / Mammy reference from the post just prior to yours about Mammy being old and can lip-read... and nowhere did you say anything about her husband training her or going to Angola...illiad wrote:erm, if you weren't listening properly, she was trained by her husband, and did active service along side him for blue cross in Angola during the 70's..
