This is the ultimate super trucker story. If the link works.

 

In a nutshell, sir. Excellent summary!

 

how’d the wreckers get thru? In my crazy situation- In which the cop did NOT tell me to drive over a car- but DID tell me I was on my own and to figure it out quick because I was blocking his city at rush hour, there was no way a wrecker could fit. I couldn’t move a foot in either direction. Professors and students at temple university literally gave up and started walking to their classes.

I can smile about it now, but at the time, it was insanity. I still can’t believe how it played out. To this day. Just shows, you really have to breathe and just show some patience- a solution usually presents itself if you let it

 

I would haul out a $ 20.00 dollar bill and tell them to come up with some ideas or we'all be here for a week.

 

You’d be surprised how many hsld guys like to brag friendo. The running joke is every seal is an author who just isn’t published yet.
That said I will agree 10% of the guys claiming to be seals actually are.

Don't get me wrong. If I were to say I was close personal friends with any Seals I would be guilty of being the subject of this thread. My point was not that we don't know Seals. Seals have written books. In fact, look at this list! LINK

I would say most all people that are in public or who write books are real seals as their bona fides will be challenged very quickly. I understand your point and actually agree with you. However, this was not what I was trying to say. I'm saying if you are sitting in some truck stop lunch counter and some person also sitting in that counter says they are/were a Seal OR any Special Ops type the likelihood of this being true is almost nonexistent.

I live in Hampton Virginia, actually, I live in the Phoebus section of Hampton. ALL of this area is Military based. There are three 4 star Officers that hold commands in Hampton Roads military bases. The only other area with more that I know of is Hawaii and DC. There are shipyards all over this area. Every day I run into Veterans. Many Seals active and retired live here. There is a lady that lives about 200 feet from my apartment who was married to a Seal. I confirmed this with Don Shipley. I stand by what I stated before. Unless they have decided to go public Seals are a closed-off group that sticks together and you won't see them mouthing off in Bars and Truck Stop lunch counters. By going public I am referring to doing interviews on TV or writing a book. Also sometimes you will see them doing this ---------
