Released within hours.

Iran is about to get a lot of sanctions taken off and they really don't want to fuck right now.

Anyone else find it funny they weren't wearing the typical blue digi's and were using those specific boats?

I don't see the big deal. They went into the wrong area and were treated humanely and then released.

I figured it would be a feasible tactic to ask you people who already know what's up. Didn't really join any discussion with that. :)
Is this your tactic..... "well I don't know, I was justtttt asking a question."

I watched the video (without sound coz can't here), and had that question in my mind, so I asked it here, what's wrong with that?
That's alllllllllllllll you ever do, just something I noticed.

I'm just asking a question man, I didn't know.

So if you don't know something and you don't want to research yourself / click on potentially biased sources, is asking people who you trust to have a good answer something bad now?

Thanks anyway. :confused:

Hopefully they destroyed all the crypto gear before the Iranians seized them. If not the "O" is gonna be in a lot of trouble.

We wore green as well. When I was part of the fleet i did VBSS boardings in the gulf.
Those are MK5 SWCC boats. Ive been on them. We do not want the Iranians to have them. All the crypto and everything else. This whole thing is strange. I just cant imagine under any circumstance letting them board my boat. Those boats are used for SEAL operations. All 10 would be highly trained and should have gone to SERE school.

I wasn't aware ya'll wore our green digi's. The only ones I saw do that were not your average navy cats or green side Corpsmen. What did you do if you don't mind my asking?

It comes down to who your command is atached to. Idk how to explain it. Like when I was at ACU-5 we attached to the MEU so we wore cammies. I got out just has the digi's were coming out. I was a Gas Turbine Tech like Chief @Chief but I did many things. I spent a few years on a destroyer. I was on the VBSS team and got to do many maritime boardings (I was fucking pirate!!). That was cool shit. After that I spent about 6 years at ACU5 as a LCAC crew member.

Wow so on a navy ship, with a MEU attached, you got attached to the green side. That's weird but I honestly didn't pay much attention to the Navy when we were on ship. So I'm assuming when you were part of the vbss team is when you were attached to the MEU? Or were you attached to the marine air wing?
If you don't want to get into it in public like this that's cool. But I'm super curious and would atleast like to talk via pm if you wanted.

No I was stationed on a Destroyer @ 32nd street and deployed twice to the gulf for operation southern watch, that is when I was on the VBSS team. We chased down iraqi smugglers and boarded their ships. After I left that boat I got orders to ACU5, who is attached to the MEU. Did 3 floats with them. First was OEF and the other 2 OIF. We were the first ones there, the first surge.

When were you at 32nd ST? I was in Point Loma from 02-03

Being a marine (specifically a grunt) on a ship is like being the kid who gets adopted into a family living in a trailer park. We got the shit end of everything. They actually emptied the shitters when we were doing stern gate operations. Muthafuckas!

Oh shit! My buddies were probably in that group. They were on a MEU for Afghanistan and Iraq for the invasion
