“Wait, he’s not a SEAL?” shrieks a female just within earshot. “You mean I [expletive deleted] him for no reason?”

Shakely swears to have fired live grenades from the pyrotechnic pistol featured above.
Ahhhhhh ..... the 40 mm flare pistol. Loved it at Ft. Irwin. I was a Green Team platoon-level Observer-Controller and would use the pistol when OPFOR calls-for-fire were accurate (most of the time). I have placed air bursts above (and ...under :D) tanks using this pistol; and -- as I recall, it also handled smoke and CS ... but I won't swear to the CS. We were told it would handle the M-203 (M-79) 40mm rounds, but we never got the opportunity to try.
I saw Maj. "What's That Got To Do With Killing Communists" Dickinson kill a jack rabbit with one round using the flare pistol -- he actually hit the rabbit with the projectile; it was not the burst that killed the rabbit (he'd feed them to his pythons, which he kept in his bathtub during feeding time).

:confused: The site of someone doing burpees and kipping pullups = SEAL? I can do both of those just fine and am far from any SEAL. Is there no one in the regular Navy that does those?
Also:
What does that mean? So the chief thinks he's a practically a SEAL from having worked with the SEALs, or am I reading that wrong?
Satire. Novel concept usually lost on uncritical readers. Try Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" for an introduction to the concept. Or just read a lot more Duffleblog (it's far more entertaining!)
Satire I have a hard time picking up on in person let alone when it is in written form :o:)
Oh. Well, you may be surprised to know that that wasn't really Bruce Lee in Kentucky Fried Movie.
