Operation Praying Mantis

[RC44Mag]

Came across this vid on utube. Never saw this guy before but he weaves a good tale about the Naval hi-jinx in the Persian Gulf in the late 80's and think it good enough to post up. Interesting story told by a guy who cuts to the chase, slight warning, the language is a little salty at times.

He is definitely worth watching. He is a former medic and a licensed electrician. He calls it like he sees it. Makes history interesting.

The quack bang rubber ducky, came from one of his early videos. Seems he met a special forces guy who found it more effective to throw a rubber duck into a room than a flash bang grenade.

The element of surprise, no body expects a rubber ducky.

That was great.
The company I worked for was awarded the contract to rebuild the platforms that were salvageable. I was the lead designer who had to figure out how to do it. Our Navy did an outstanding job.

That fellow does a great job.
And, a good story, well presented.

Informative, and entertaining. I can believe he's an electrician...
