we bitch a lot about co workers. for once I have a co worker who truly puts me in awe. He is a retired team leader of the navy seals.

now he's an office worker and paper pushr like the rest of us. but we do our best to just get him talking. He's the master of the unclassified classified. He will happily tell stories but omitting all the classified details.
Today we were discussing broken bones, I mentioned I broke my borther's finger when I was five. ha ha. And troy goes, I once accidentally scalped a guy.
we were all like, hang on. what?
So, turns out he spent years as an instructor teaching hand to hand combat to seals and rangers. He's not the biggest guy by any means. He's like 5'10" and skinny. He explained to us that one of the best ways to get someone under control is to grab their hair and then manipulate their head a certain way, then the body follows and they go down. He pointed to my young buddy Austin and said you have GREAT hair!
So it was not at all uncommon apparently for badass wounded warriors to want to take his class to see if they could go back in the field. Specifically to test themselves. So this one guy volunteered, and tray was like great, hit me. Troy grabed his hair, slammed his head to the ground, and pulled the guy's scalp off. it was flapping off. he said the guy was like "dammit". Apparently he got hair plugs and did the challenge to see if the hair plugs stood up.
