In my experiences there is no such thing as a "retired" SEAL, just ones who are not active duty There is nothing tougher in this world than a US Navy SEAL. May God bless them all!!

You are CORRECT.

They are also "nice" to have around in a "Kilted" situation.

Example =
A while back, when I was still getting use to wearing a Kilt daily, Jack & I ( we were both Kilted) were @ a resterent, wainting to be seated. A couple of Drunk, would be "toughs came out of the Bar & "started in" about the 'mahood of Kilt wearers.

It STOPPED REAL QUICK, when Jack turned around & looked @ them..

They SHUT UP & EXITED poste haste.

Think I ought to "rent Him Out" ???

Re: Rule #3, Do not call him "Sir".

The proper response to being called "Sir" is "**** you. I work for a living."

My grandfather taught me that men with strong work ethics are the only men worth calling "sir". He didn't mean the honorific to flatter or slight when he used it, nor do I when I use it. It is just a polite nod to the fact that your ethic is understood and appreciated. That said, I also respect the wishes of men who don't like the honorific and try to remember not to call them "sir".

Either way: "Good on you!"

In the modern EO centered Army I've been told not to say that. After all, it hurts the feelings of the officers by implying that they don't work. On the other hand, the last two newly assessed Captains we've had report to the unit call me Sir.

YMOS,
