I haven't been logging on here much lately and am not not sure who we currently have on the board that's part of NSW or at least has connections. I'll be in San Diego at the end of March for my sister's wedding and would love a special access tour of the SEAL base if that could be arranged. Either PM me or respond in the thread if you have any info or would be able to help facilitate this. Thanks.
Tour of BUD/S?

By SEAL base, do you mean NAB Coronado? If you're AD military, you can just show your ID and drive right on.
I'm absolutely not trying to be a dick here, but why would you think someone would take time out of their busy day to play tour guide for some random guy?
On a side note, there is one sure fire way to get a tour of the SEAL compound....
Sign on the dotted line?
I've heard of it being done before and had talked to SEALs years ago who had said if I was ever in town and wanted to check it out to let them know---not in contact with them anymore. I think there had even been guys on here before that had said that. I know there are link ups with people on the site and I just wanted to throw it out there and see if it was possible as I've always wanted to check it out.
Nobody is trying to argue bro, but you only come around once every few years....

What precisely makes you think you've done anything to earn that kind of help from someone here ?
No one is arguing with you. It's a valid query. You've been on here for years making all kinds of posts about this unit and that unit, and you have nothing to show for all your research. So maybe you can understand why people aren't bending over backwards to continue answering questions and trying to hook you up with tours. Or maybe not.
Go talk to a Navy Recruiter and see if he/she can hook you up.
It's amazing how a person can come on here, asking "favors" and then acting like a dick when told the truth...
F.M.

I see that logging on this site again was a mistake. There are people here I've corresponded with over the years and some people know more of my story and background but I don't need to share anything with anyone right now. I'm not a random lurker and have been on this site off and on for 7 years and was told by a long time member here that I was a member in good standing and thought of highly a few years ago so didn't think me asking this was that unrealistic.
And just how was I a dick? That's a ridiculous assertion to make.
Alright, let's end this here before it gets out of hand. @lockNload you are in fact a member in good standing, although I hope you understand the hesitation for favors in light of your lack of participation on the forum. Regardless of that, it is unlikely that you would get a tour of the NSW facility. It does happen, but usually for friends and family of the guys that work there. I brought my younger brother on to the Ranger compound years ago and showed him around the arms room and all that stuff, but there is no way I would have done that for anyone outside of immediate family or a very close friend. Most bases allow you on with nothing more than valid photo identification and current insurance/registration for your vehicle, so you would more than likely be able to show yourself around the base on a driving tour, although I'm sure they have the NSW compound gated off (never been there personally). With all that being said, I'm going to lock this thread so as to prevent things taking a turn for the nasty.
Mod hat off, senior member hat and pissed off former NCO hat on.... this is a personal response to your posts, not a moderation of the thread:
Why should anyone here bend over backwards to make things work your way, on your time frame, with nothing but a "Hey, I'm back gimme a tour of SEAL training, because I want to go - Oh yeah, I don't know who has the access to get me access so do my work for me... strike one
Why, because you're special?
Yes, we do have link ups, no secret - but it is with people we trust and have made plans with and scheduled and actually made the time to know - not a random sometime member demanding special access to NSW training because he'll be in town.
Apparently you did... because you asked for favors and weren't even polite nor politic nor humble about it.
Actually, yes you do need to share if you want a favor. On and Off ... random, you average 1.56 posts per month, and when clustered by activity, you come on, make 10 posts and poof! you're gone for months or more at a time. One comment made a few years ago is your complete justification? Are you friggin psychotic? You have not been an active posting member for over 6 months... and you have unmitigated gall to demand a favor and then get butt hurt when you are questioned by an active member who, if you had been humble and up front, might have made a call to a friend of a friend who may have done something to help? No, instead you justify your selfish, petty attitude with past possible praise and an attitude that, "I should get what I want, because I'm special, Marauder told me that once in passing and I am going to try to use it." Dude, here is a clue.... the people we meet up with we foster every day, go out of 0ur way for, and call and talk to... we don't log on occasionally, post less, get a single positive for a single post and then expect the board members in general to hand us the keys to their domains... it does not fucking work that way.
Um, see all of the above, and try and figure it out there Sherlock.
