Sumario: | "We Were Sure You Were Dead One of the combat areas of proficiency required of a Navy SEAL platoon is Military Operations in an Urban moving through a city and fighting, usually from house to house. This was typically the type of combat you saw on the news during the War on Terror in Iraq. One night as my platoon was training, we set up on a house for entry, and I was to be the second man through the door. I would simply go the opposite way the "number one man" went. The number one man's nickname was "Booger." (No secret meaning here. He always seemed to have a hanger disgustingly in view.) In other words, if Booger went through the door and turned right, I would go left. My job was to simply read off of him, go the opposite way, and continue on with the standard house-clearing protocols."--
