Apparently the SEALs want to train in MORE state parks. Apparently this is already ongoing. The idea is to sneak ashore in urban areas without being seen.

This should make your tinfoil flutter.

Government using resources they already have instead of building giant new training facilities? Yes, I'm very suspicious.

Maybe Hotel del Coronado stopped letting them train on their beach due to customer complaints.
They run across the beach just about every morning and the close the beach to civilians when they train with weapons and boats.

Yeah, I get the feeling this isn't giant formations but rather small squads emerging from the water trying to not be seen/practicing stealth.

Frogmen(/women?) emerging from the water, weapons drawn, faces painted. That ought to scare the bejeebus out of the campers.

They've been doing this for decades. They set up a meet and greet last year in Poulsbo to explain it to anyone who was interested.

I used to make that run most mornings back when I was in the Boat unit. Their training pool was right next to my unit's compound.

Also, its SEAL, not seal. I don't know if there are any frogmen on the board, but they kinda prickly about how you spell that.

Feds co-opting state resources would be my only quibble. Do they have Discover passes?

Maybe a park Ranger should walk down and hand them tickets. That would make a funny video.

I thought SEALs just wrote books and made movies.

Watch someone get their panties in a wad over that joke.

Bless your heart.



I'm down for it. Hell, keep the parks open, warn the campers, make it that much more realistic. Turn it into a game. You get a flashlight on you, you're 'dead'.... Bragging rights for 'killing' a SEAL.
