[NAME REDACTED] GOES ON PLANEBOAT, IMPROVES IT

by Orson on Jun 3, 2008 2:46 PM EDT

[NAME REDACTED] caught the USO troop touring bug, visiting sailors on the USS John C. Stennis and even participating in a number of the activities on the ship. They let him drive the ship, work around some planes, and even let him land a plane!

Sadly, there were no "Chimp versus Navy SEALs" games during [NAME REDACTED]'s visit.

Again, good on any coach who spends his free time doing something like this, even if he's on our permanent angercrack list.

ps. Spurrier and Willingham set to dual visit the S.S. Byron Nelson, strictly for patriotic purposes only.

Please let Spurrier push Ty off the ship… just for being a loser.

Odds the OBC would take a piss off the side if he visits an aircraft carrier: 2/1.

The Navy SEAL in that chimp video was one of the Blackwater guys involved in the Fallujah ambush, I think.

Did Spurrier lose another bet to Willingham regarding the orgins of ANOTHER DiGiorno’s pizza?

That man never learns…

That is a ship I could have served.

I’m referring to the SS Byron Nelson, of course.

It’s good to see [NAME REDACTED] doing his patriotic duty and challenging that Navy seal on the obstacle course.

I’d lay money he had ahold of a fake wheel, like the Boat Party episode of The Office.

You mean he didn’t barefoot water ski behind it?

The Navy SEAL featured in this clip is Scott Helvenston, the youngest person to ever complete SEAL training (he was 17). He worked as a military advisor in Hollywood and also participated in a few military related shows before going to Iraq with Blackwater in 2004. He was one of the four contractors killed by insurgents in the Fallujah ambush in March of 2004.

RIP Scott.

There are no recruits on that carrier! Aren’t there some vacant lots in Illinois with football games he can “accidently” drop in on? If he can’t talk to the high school recruits there are plenty of junior high kids out there. You can’t start the process too soon.
