Was Jesse Ventura a SEAL or a UDT guy?
I was 17 years old attending Columban College in "Po Town" (Subic Bay proper, Ulo ng Apo/Olongapo, 1982.) Did not know that it was referred to as Po Town, but it is nice to know. In any case, as young girl as we exit the school--nicely located right by the very polluted river (most Americans called it *shi t river* due to its still dark colored and smell resulting from sewer and debris) I remembered watching groups of military personnel walking along the sidewalks of Magsaysay Drive wearing khaki shorts and blue shirts with the phrase "PETER FOUR" on the front. My high school friends and I used to giggle and followed them until we had to turn to take the tri-cycles home. We were not allowed to talk to them for two reasons: a. per school regulations we can't be seen in our school uniforms publicly cavorting with military men for we may be mistaken for working girls; b. we were underage and our parents will kill us. Yes, they did not wear undergarments and they were proud of that fact. Thanks, CDR Bill Salisbury, USN-Ret, for that little bit of information, now I have something to Facebook to my old friends. I am now 51 and have been in country 31 years working as a CEO in Washington D.C. I also recall the whole Jesse Ventura's dabbling in politics. Sadly, I was one of the fans of him until later on when he was eventually proven to be all talk and no substance. Also glad, I got the historical background of UDT vs Seal. I was a military wife for 24 years and we are military family from my grandfather during WWII, to my son post 911. Thank you for your service say. Finally, I can say sir without being yelled at "don't call me sir I am not an officer --I work for a living."— January 8, 2017 3:13 a.m.
