this will probably be my last comment for you, but I just wanted to tell you that whether you are a SEAL or not, I still have no respect for you after some of the comments you have made here. All of the comments I have seen from you so far have been negtive and have mostly been towards marriage in the teams. You stated that your marriage failed due to the teams so obviously you are biased. You have no point in coming on here spewing your negativity and bitterness around. You have a right to do it, but really no point and all that you've really done is upset people. Is that the rep that you want here? The only advice I have seen you offer is marital advice....nothing to do with work that goes on in the teams. Are you a marriage counsellor?

Also wanted to point out that my brother was a SEAL for 6 years-his marriage survived quite well. his wife kept very busy with her own life while he was away and knowing my brother he remained faithful to his lovely wife while he was away. from what i gather the SEALs are far too busy working than to spend time with women. Tadpole maybe didnt work very hard in his team, lol. So I'm not a SEAL, but I did see what went on with my brother and his wife. To all the SEAL wives-keep busy while your hub is away.

That is great that your brother had a good marriage. I would love to answer other questions about the Teams. The marriage topic came up in the chatroom and I said that I would post my views as to not goop up the chatroom.
Pick a topic, yes to me marriage in the Teams is a bad deal, for me. There are plenty of great topics to focus on, pick one brotha.


Big picture the Teams is a good deal, but like anything else there are down sides. This question just happen to relate to a bad one, or good.....all depends. I am always happy to hear of marriages that are truely good to go in the Teams.


next topic?

ok last thing...yes you did answer questions about marriage, i can see you had a bad experience, that's fine, but dont you think your answers were quite insulting dont you think? there's no reason to tell a woman that her husband will cheat on her. And i'm a little suprised that the other SEAL wives and/or moderators havent popped in about this. I just think it's unacceptable.

That wasn't my intent in the beggining. I am sorry that it turned out that way. Specifically her husband might be a great faithful dude, I hope so. My point was to the family dudes thinking about a career in the Teams....there are some very common dangers. I do wish the best for all. Just a heads up.


Can't we talk about the time my XO caught me naked in the desert?




The Teams are packed with comedy.......................

So do I. But by responding any further than I already have I feel I'm banging my head against a wall.

But I will weigh in with my husband's POV after reading all these posts. My husband says that tadpole is making life hell for all his 'brothas' right now by making statements about SEAL marriages, what does or doesn't go on during deployments and in general. Whether it's the truth or not, it's not doing any favors to the 'brothas' he professes to be so loyal to.

My husband said it's bad enough for team guys and their wives to endure all the separations. It's worse when they have to come here or elsewhere and read all this crap that plants a seed of doubt in some wives' heads, even when there shouldn't be.

One more thing...for being so loyal to other SEALs tadpole is doing a lot of spouting about things that SEALs generally don't talk about with perfect strangers. So much for the brotherhood.

And to quote my husband, "Would someone shut this guy up?" ;)
