One thing I thought was funny but maybe I misread...

He spoke of some of the survival training he recieved in the Navy and then went on to say that he only learned to swim last year? I understand that not everyone enlists in the Navy to be a SEAL but shouldn't the Navy have included swimming lessons in their survival training? (Or is he still "in" the Navy and only enlisted last year where he learned to swim?)

I read the complete article when it appeared in the U/T. To the best of my recollection, he had recently got an older kayak which had a plexiglass viewing window in the bottom, which he suspects is what leaked. He launched from around Marine Street and went out a couple of miles for a nature trip.
