Active Duty Navy Seal
Hi BajaNomads,
I know this is not a Baja topic but I'm venturing out here seeking someone that could and be willing to help us:
My son who is 15 years old is a member (Petty Officer II) of the USNSCC (United States Navy Sea Cadet Corps) at the Coronado Base. This summer he has
the opportunity to attend the "AVIATION RESCUE SWIMMER TRAINING" two week Course at Camp Pendleton.
He's an accomplished swimmer member of the SBA (South Bay Aquatics) Silver Team and also a Junior Lifeguard Aid with the San Diego Junior Lifeguards
in Coronado -he's been swimming since he was three years old-
Now, this is why we're asking for your help and what we're looking for:
An Active Duty Navy Seal to administer the Seal PRT Test. There's a form (NSWOC SEAL/SWCC/EOD PHYSICAL FITNESS TEST) provided by the USNSCC that must
be filled out by the person doing the test.
He's already been Certified as a Class I Swimmer at the Coronado Base.
If anyone of you can help please U2U me.
We deeply appreciate your time in reading this post.
Sincerely,
Carlos and family.

Who knows, anything is possible, and you might find an active duty SEAL on this board.
You might contact Mark Divine who founded SEALFIT. He has the local connections, so perhaps he will advise you.

Call Mc P's Irish Pub in Coronado. That is where the Seals hang out.

Bingo
Make some flyers with the info and a photo of your son in his Sea Cadet uniform and take them to Mc P's.....

Also add Ye Olde Plank Inn in Imperial Beach, it's also a popular Seal hangout. I'd bet the bartender would pass on your info to a Seal.

We already submitted most of the paperwork including his medical exams so having said this, it's as soon as possible, he starts camp on July.
We'll contact Mark, McP's and the Ye Olde Plank Inn as well.
Thanks for your quick replies... any other suggestions most appreciated.
Thanks BajaNomads.

!!!...WOW...!!! Thanks Blanca we really appreciate your help. We amost met you a couple of years ago when we stopped in
Bahia Asuncion on our way to Mulegé, we stayed at the bed and breakfast in Asuncion and we're directed to your place on our way out but never stopped
because it was so windy we just wanted to get to the Gulf side... we need to make a loop thru there once again.
Muchas gracias.
