BM3 Jésus Angelo proved ill-adapted to the role of a special warfare combat crewman. The chaplain’s corps did take an interest in his special capabilities, however.

Targets of Opportunityblog advertising is good for you Credo"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Amazon AssociateFor the Effort!Winnar!

I will never forget the taste of that bay. Any day you spent in the water left your tongue ruined for 3 days after.
I kept trying to find the link to the story, how could you make such a noob blogger mistake . . .
Then the 2×4 hit me.
Must be Fishday.
Don’t feel bad. I’ve been staring at this thing for 45 seconds or more. Finally put it together.
Is that helo-casting? Sure seems like they’re dumping them in the water a little too close to each other for safety.
@Jeff– not helo-casting, there is no way they would do THAT in Glorietta Bay. Pretty sure they are jumping off a pier at NAB Coronado. Helo casting takes place further south of the bridge (and on one very memorable occasion, I saw parachutists jumping out the back of a C-130 ~500 above the water).
And all I could think was “I wonder if they had their hepatitis (tetanus, typhoid) shot(s)?”
Is that man walking on water? Or am I missing the point, as usual?

Looks like a preview shot of the new stealth beach assault Segway.
I do believe the inference is that he’s able to walk on water. ;p
Lex, you’ll be happy to know that – unlike these other unsophisticated brutes – I got the joke immediately.
I just assumed everyone got it (the joke).
Some photographer got lucky – or if the name is correct, it coulda been on purpose. Either way, it’s an excellent shot.
Looks like the sacreligious “Jesus Shoes” they used to tell us about in DC/FF school. They never had any demo films, however, for some strange reason.
Sheesh,
Another boat crewman who doesn’t know how to swim! Where will it end?
Hey MajHarvey: We chaplains gotta stick together. Of COURSE we got it right away. We need more chaplains like this guy.
I thought you you had to pin on CPO (or Gunny) to get your waterwalking chit.
