    I feel good about it. I heard the same thing, but us ME's had an all EPME test so it seemed pretty easy. We will see in Nov. when we have to take a test that tests our rating knowledge...already planning on taking it.

    im waiting to sew on my new rating insignia on my bravo's...hoping that cuts will be good for me!

    Missing My Last Tacoma --- Had 11 Toyota trucks in the past and many other Toyota cars too.
    .

    I had some buddies that were SEALs and that life was tough. Before I went to RVN, I practiced some aerial inserts with Recon & SEAL units in the northern part of the Okinawa Island.

    Actually got to fly off (and land) on the island & ship (LPH) and both were named "Okinawa". USMC BLT 1/3 was on the Duluth (LPD) & Okinawa (LPH) and USMC 1/9 was land based at that time and I got a little taste of both of those units.

    Your SEAL life in RVN was tough ... congratulations on surviving RVN as a SEAL my friend. ... :D
