ow playing is a film that will leave audiences spellbound.

For the first time, a story is being told about the U.S. Navy SEALs but instead of actors, real SEALs will take the lead.

The film tells the story of kidnapped CIA agent Morales (Rosyln Sanchez) who had been looking into a terrorist plot aimed at the U.S. First the SEALs must rescue the CIA agent before going global to find Shabal (Jason Cottle), the terrorist who could wound thousands of Americans.

There is only one man who can tell the platoon where to find Shabal and that is Christo (Alex Veadov). The global reach begins as the men of Bandito Platoon balance their families with doing what is needed to keep everyone safe.

“Act of Valor” is a film that shows the technology used by the teams, along with action, adventure and intensity. The film allows audiences to see the skills that come with being a member of a SEAL team.

The script, written by Kurt Johnstad who also wrote the script for the film “300,” was done so to reflect the true training, planning and operations conducted by SEALs. These men are considered the elite who are ready for land, sea and air mission as a mobile team.

Directors Scott Waugh and Mike “Mouse” McCoy spent months getting to know this community of elite here in San Diego which is the site of the U.S. Naval Special Warfare Command.

Director Waugh admits to having preconceived notions about these men

but those notions were quickly turned around. Through their contact with the men and their families, the codirectors learned of the sacrifice and deep emotion that runs through these family men.

Because of this connection, these co-directors were able to put together a diverse and complete team that truly reflects the SEALs. Having the SEALs be the advisors came to be an invaluable source for making “Act of Valor.” Director Mike “Mouse” McCoy says they men were often given free reign to keep the film real and authentic. Given dialogue, the men were able to tell the writer and directors what would work and what would not. To keep the film as realistic as possible, the directors used twelve cameras at a time working in-

the nuclear threat

dependently to get the shot from every angle.

“Act of Valor” was also the first time a U.S. SSGN submarine was made available for a film shooting. To catch the shot, the filmmakers were told when and where a submarine would be and if the camera was not there, the would lose a very valuable piece of the film.

The best draw on how the film came together and the commitment from both director and actors, I had the opportunity to sit with the directing team of Scott Waugh and Mike “Mouse” McCoy to ask them about their vision, their work with the SEAL team members and from the team members themselves: Lt. Commander Rourke, Captain Duncan Smith, SOl Ajay, and SO1 Ray.

was truly compelling. They were the most confident, intellectual, obviously physically fit but also emotionally these guys range across being great warriors to being great dedicated family men.

For us it just became a mission right away once we connected to the brotherhood to tell the story authentically.

Scott: They broke every stereotype the mass media has portrayed them as.

That was why we said there was no way to accurately tell the story than to use the real guys.

Directors “Muse” McCoy and Scott Waugh watch video feed in Relativity´s Media´s upcoming release, “Act of Valor.”

Q: What owas your first interest in making this film?

it as an evolution. Once we connected with the guys and connected with the stories and understand the sacrifices that have been laid down over the last ten years. The stories of these actors of valor that had been told to us were really inspirational. We figured out a way that we could do this that wouldn’t impact deployment cycles and wasn’t going to impact their training cycles. It would be something we could integrate over all and do in a sustainable way without it impacting the community and they felt comfortable with the project. They felt we were going to do it authentically and in their voice.

McCoy: These guys have been too radically misrepresented in popular culture and by Hollywood that it was Scott: There is a big level of trust almost criminal. They are so different, on their part with us. Obviously it was they weren’t this screwed up Rambo- earned, we spent a lot of time with the Terminator concoction. community and they under Mouse and Captain Duncan Smith, Active Duty, US my background as stuntman and we Navy SEAL: ACT OF VALOR is a film had that common language with our that is truly unique in every way. There cultures. With that they said to us ‘we is live fire, its real operators and goes want you to have creative control’. far beyond anything people have seen McCoy: We want somebody to objecin any other movie. I don’t think Holly- tively look at our community and tell it wood has ever gotten the SEAL ethos or from that perspective.

SEAL persona right. Everyone said ‘no’ SOl Ajay, US Navy SEAL: At first I when first asked to be a part of ACT OF didn’t want to be involved in the projVALOR. The goal is to allow somebody ect. I’m not interested in fame or glamto see who we are understanding the our but I would like to shine on the difmen themselves and the sacrifices they ferent facets of the U.S. Navy SEALs. and their families contribute everyday. There has been a lot of mystic and mys-

McCoy: Overall we were connected with the community and they asked us to really take a look at it – an exploration of what it really looks like to tell the story of the SEALs. We were allowed access into the community. Once we were inside we met these men and Q: How did the NAVY react when they were just some of the most amaz- you proposed this idea to them? ing men we’ve ever met in our lives; it McCoy: We really kept working on

McCoy: But they had a TTP scrub, so they had control of technical, tactics and procedure, a full scrub on that.

They gave us story control but they made sure the TTP was clean and no classified information was given.

Q: How did you manage to put the film together with the team going on deployment and coming back?

Scott: It took four years; normally it would take four months!

McCoy: Four years of principle photography and almost everyone in the film went on a full combat deployment while making the movie.

Scott: When they are home, they are back in training cycles and work ups.

Its not like they come home and they are on leave – we had to work within their training cycles.

McCoy: We worked around existing training evolutions that were already on the books. So no assets or resources were dedicated to the making of the movie. We augmented existing operatery about the SEAL Teams and about tions and again that’s why it took so who we are and what we do. This is the long.

From the beginning did you know most accurate depiction of how SEAL that there was no way you could get a operate.

tax reform, now!

E

veryone in our country knows that we need tax reform but no one has come up with a solution.

We need to address tax reforms in a number of different ways. Tax reform is a political hot potato and will not be touched by any politician running for office. The tax attorneys, accountants, accounting firms and the IRS will stop and defeat any political party or politician that tries to change our tax laws.

The system is so unjust to individuals and small businesses; we pay over 80% of all taxes. The cost of benefits that taxpayers, such as small businessmen, pay will eventually put them out of business! Why can’t we have a flat

stronger economy than we have. We can’t continue to let large corporations and companies borrow (Give) monies from Social Security and other monetary funds given to them by politicians in office, today or tomorrow, or next year! The shame of these corporations is that after they are given our monies they then outsource the jobs that rightfully should stay here in the United States. Companies that outsource jobs should be taxed so heavily that they no longer can make more moneys to fill their coffers at the expense of the United States. We are a Republic not a democracy and no matter what your politics are if you remain complacent

T

he shame of these corporations is that after they are given our monies they then outsource the jobs that rightfully should stay here in the United States.

tax for all small businesses and the individual? We pay more than our fair share but we do not receive the same advantages as large corporations. We know that in order to keep the United States the strongest country financially, morally and free, we must begin changing the policies set forth by the present and previous administrations.

The country musician Ernie Ford had a hit song years ago that went something like this. We loaded 16 ton and what did we get, another day older and deeper in debt! If you do not recognize or are too young to remember this song just think of changing the words to (we borrowed 16 trillion ) and what did we get another day older and deeper in debt, that says it all. We can’t continue competing with countries that have a

about our crumbling society we will no longer be a free country! Some people will think that I might be an alarmist or even a bit crazy but when you look at our debt and unemployment rate that are continuing to rise and we are willing victims of oil-rich countries that continue to raise prices on crude oil which will increase inflation on all food products, services and necessities!! We have plenty of oil and should be building nuclear plants but the government is afraid of environmentalists who feel it’s all right to starve and kill Americans but we must protect bugs, gnat catchers and frogs.

Robert Rosenkrans was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in 1956 and began collecting World War II military items in 1967 shortly after moving to southern Arizona with his parents. Growing up next to an Army post and having his father as a World War II veteran gave Robert a passion for military history. Dogs were always part of the house when he was growing up, so joining the U.S. Air Force and becoming a Law Enforcement K-9 handler seemed the thing to do for Robert. He was in the Air Force form 1979 through 1983.

cided to open an Army-Navy surplus store with his father’s help. Robert and his father successfully ran the store for 18 years before selling it. Robert then started an online business with his wife, Maria, and has been running it for four years, dealing mainly with collectable military items. Robert has collected U.S. military war dog items from World War II since enlisting in the Air Force, and he hopes this book will inspire other historians to get the collecting fever.

Military News Shipping Pets During PCS Could Cost Nearly $4,000 Under New Rule

By Travis J. Tretten Many servicemembers flying internationally on official orders could face steep fare increases for pets beginning this month, when a top military-contracted air carrier changes its baggage policies.

As part of its merger with Continental Airlines, United Airlines has announced that on March 3 it will drop its current flat rate for pets that are checked as excess baggage and instead require all animals to be shipped as cargo.

For those changing duty stations in the Pacific, the change could mean paying about $1,440 to $3,869 to fly with an animal back to the U.S., depending on its size. Currently, United charges $283 for most pets, according to estimates provided Tuesday

by Continental customer service.

United and Continental are Amanda Powell, a military spouse from Yokosuboth federal contract carriers, ka Naval Base, and her dog Tank await a flight so servicemembers traveling on out of Yokota Air Base during the evacuation official duty are often booked to following the March 2011 earthquake in Japan. fly on the airlines at a reduced Grant Okubo/Stars and Stripes cost to the military, but the cost to transport pets must be paid by the servicemember.

“This is just going to be devastating and pets are going to be left behind,” predicted Mary Seward-Yamada, owner of Camp Canine Okinawa, a company that specializes in assisting military families with transporting pets between Japan and the U.S. Glen Downes, the deputy distribution management officer for Okinawa Marine Corps bases, said the military on the island has been told it cannot book pets on any United passenger flights beginning March 1 and instead it appears the animals must be booked through cargo carriers.

Stories from the web

why i carry a gun?

People ask why? Why carry a gun? My old grandpa said to me, “Son, there comes a time in every man’s life when he stops bustin’ knuckles and starts bustin’ caps and usually it’s when he becomes too old to take an whoopin.’”

I don’t carry a gun to kill people.

I carry a gun to keep from being killed.

I don’t carry a gun to scare people.

I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m paranoid.

I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m evil.

I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world.

I don’t carry a gun because I hate the government.

I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m angry.

I carry a gun so that I don’t have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.

I don’t carry a gun because I want to shoot someone.

I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m a cowboy.

I carry a gunbecause, when I die

and go to heaven, I want to be a cowboy.

I don’t carry a gun to make me feel like a man.

I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.

I don’t carry a gun because I feel inadequate.

I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.

I don’t carry a gun because I love it.

I carry a gunbecause I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.

Police protection is an oxymoron.

Free citizens must protect themselves.

Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.

I carry a gun because God gave me the Right to do so; it is inalienable.

a little gun history In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million.

You won’t see this data on the U.S. evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the lawabiding citizens.

Take note my fellow Americans, before it’s too late!

The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson.

With guns, we are “citizens.” Without them, we are “subjects.”

During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED! The purpose of fighting is to win.

There is no possible victory in defense.

The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either.

The final weapon is the brain.

All else is supplemental.

“My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.”

Military News 2,000 Local Veterans Tony Orlando are Homeless on Receives Highest Any Given Night DoD Civilian Award

A new report released recently estimates that on any given night there are between 1,700 to 2,000 veterans in San Diego County that are either living on the streets or in temporary shelters. This estimate is consistent with past studies that show there is still significant work to be done to meet the goal of ending veteran homelessness by 2015.

The report also compiled information on spending by various federal, state and local agencies which is directed at homeless veterans. More than $54 million was spent on veterans that lack a permanent home. The majority of the expenditures (76%) were spent on reactive programs, such as health care, incarceration, mental health services, and detoxification.

"San Diego is home to one of the largest veteran populations in the country," said Erik Bruvold, President of NUSIPR, the policy institute that did the research. "Our report will hopefully increase awareness that we need to do more to find housing for these heroes and that too many are falling through the cracks."

The Department of Defense issued the Seven SEALs Award to Branson resident and legendary entertainer Tony Orlando for the work he does in the United States, as well as overseas, in supporting National Guard and Reserve members.

The Seven SEALs Award is the highest award given to civilians, and was created to publicly recognize Americans who provide outstanding patriotic support and cooperation to those that have been called to serve in the Armed Forces.

The Seven SEALs Award represents the seven military reserve components: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine and Coast Guard reserves, along with the Army and Air National Guard.

Orlando frequently visits and entertains troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and performs countless shows for mili-

tary personnel and their families in the United States. For 18 years he has hosted “Tony Orlando’s Yellow Ribbon Salute to the Veterans” in Branson on Veteran’s Day – a free show to all veterans who attend the Branson Veterans Homecoming, America’s largest Veteran’s Day celebration

DoD Expands Drug Testing Program

The Defense Department's drugtesting program is expanding to add screening for two additional prescription medications to the range of legal and illegal drugs it currently detects.

The two drugs added to the screening program — hydrocodone and benzodiazepines — are nationally among the most abused prescription drugs. The DoD announced the new screenings 90 days before they would take effect, which gives servicemembers a 90-day warning order. Servicemembers with prescriptions for the two drugs will not be subject to disciplinary action for using them within the dosage and time prescribed. Any servicemember addicted to prescription drugs should seek medical help.

the iconic New York Jets quarterback

the world was his playing field

By Bill Edelstein and Liz Smith

T

he pay cabler is making a habit of serving up football-themed documentaries just before the Super Bowl, and this one’s a worthy successor to last year’s “Lombardi,” even if the two men couldn’t be more different.

The filmmakers also have a heightened degree of difficulty this time around. While Namath’s most notable pro success was the sport’s most improbable — leading the Jets of the upstart American Football League to a dominating victory over the NFL’s heavily favored Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III, and thereby establishing the new title game’s validity — his more recent fall from grace (a pass of an entirely different sort aimed at ESPN sideline reporter Suzy Kolber in 2003) is painfully fresher in the minds of many.

The documentary traces the wellknown aspects of Namath’s life, and brightens them with clips and quotes: A three-sport athlete in high school at Beaver Falls, Pa., he turned down a $50,000 contract with baseball’s Chi-

cago Cubs because his family wanted him to go to college. He wound up with Bear Bryant at Alabama U. — where he was a moving witness to the entry of the first black students to the school — because his hard-partying ways had depressed his college board scores.

Clips reveal a swivel-hipped, blazing-fast Namath as he tears through Oklahoma in the 1963 Orange Bowl (“he was like trying to tackle the wind,” a teammate recalls), a year and a half before he rips knee ligaments in his senior year in a game against North Carolina.

Some of the pro highlights, culled from the archives of co-producer NFL Films, show that Don Maynard’s game-changing catch in the 1968 AFL championship game might not have stood up to further review from today’s replay cameras. And while the highlights from Super Bowl III aren’t as provocative, they’re likely to be manna to Jets fans, who haven’t had a Super Bowl entry since.

Still, Namath’s biggest pro contributions were off the field. He played the NFL and AFL off each other to sign a contract valued in excess of

...a lovable rascal who lived fast in a blazing spotlight, and who, while all too human, is basically a big-hearted schlub — and now sober. That’s quite a trick for a man who still admits with a wry grin that during his playing days, he liked his “women blonde and his Johnny Walker Red.” $400,000 with the Jets, owned by former MCA agent Sonny Werblin, who knew how to market a star under the glare of media lights.

And “Broadway Joe” was a more than willing star. He quickly became a ladies’ man, cashing in with endorsement deals (the most famous being his ad for Beauty Mist pantyhose) and his own TV show (with guests including Clint Eastwood and Woody Allen, who, a clip shows, he asks for dating advice). To present-day cameras, he relates with relish the locker room story of how he got the famous nickname.

The documentary doesn’t gloss over the 2003 sideline incident (“I want to kiss you,” an inebriated Namath blubbers on camera), but rather contextualizes it, with Namath expressing regret Kolber understand-

ing and forgiveness. But the reclamation project is complete only when Namath’s daughter, Jessica, paints her father as a “professional dad” who made breakfast and drove her to school every morning. When his marriage broke up and Namath again turned to the bottle shortly before the Kolber incident, Jessica says, “I was 13, and I’d never seen him drunk.”

Ultimately, the documentary serves up a portrait of a smalltown boy made good — a lovable rascal who lived fast in a blazing spotlight, and who, while all too human, is basically a big-hearted schlub — and now sober. That’s quite a trick for a man who still admits with a wry grin that during his playing days, he liked his “women blonde and his Johnny Walker Red.”

I

think serendipity was playing its game the day that author Mike Cattolico came by our office. He was in the vicinity looking for a print and reprographic store when he saw the Military Press sign above our office. He came in and introduced himself and inquired if we might like to look at his self-published book, “Take A Stand.”

It wasn’t long before he and I were having a great time as I listened as he talked about his book and why he’d written it.

At first glance I thought it was decent looking as far as self-published projects go and took it home for a closer look.

What a marvelous book. I was soon caught up within its pages. I come across a lot of books that detail personal military and war-time experiences, and yes, this one has plenty from Mike’s early days as a seaman scout to ultimately a commanding officer.

Further chapters tell the harrowing exploits experienced in Vietnam and the Philippines as Mike serves as a deep-sea diver.

What I really liked about this book is that it is such a multi-faceted delight. Mike throws in wonderful chapters detailing his childhood growing up in a time when the “American Dream” was possible, leaders truly led, and one could realize and attain dreams.

Later on in the book, Mike makes poignant observations comparing the generation of his time with the generations of today.

Interspersed throughout Mike has put in sidebars that give us interesting facts on topics such as pay scales, cost of living and other elements that help illustrate the differences between then and now.

In the back of the book there is a great collection of notable one-liners and chapter quotes that have appeared in the book.

Some of these are absolute gems.

Mike tells his story honestly, pulls no punches and throws in heaps of humor.

After meeting Mike in person, I can see this project has been a dedicated labor of love and much more than an autobiography. I am tempted to say that this book should be a “must read” for everyone. We could all learn a thing or two from Mike’s lifetime of achievement and thoughtful insights into the ways of the world.

THE SEND-OFF AND BEYOND

EFFECTS OF COMBAT

he night before I left for basic training (boot camp), the boys at Telford Diving Unit threw a party for me at the local Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) post. None of us was a VFW, but the post waived their requirement due to the specialness of the occasion and the fact that the Vietnam conflict was in full swing.

A mixture of beverage holders—glasses full of blackberry brandy and mugs full of Black Label beer—made my two-day train trip to Great Lakes, Illinois, a fuzzy but memorable experience.

My first shipmate in the making was Bob Whetstone.

After I was able to manifest some semblance of postdrinking coherence, he said he had watched me all night to see if I was going to live. He turned out to be a best friend and, later, a navy corpsman and Vietnam survivor.

Because I was a “natural leader,” I was appointed RPOC (Recruit Petty Officer Chief). My job was to keep my company in line when the company commander was absent; in other words, I was the navy equivalent of the much-publicized assistant marine drill instructor.

Military life suited me. It included all of the things I was primed for in my youth: discipline, order, and regimentation. Actually, for me military life was a piece of cake. While everyone else complained, I reveled in it.

No ditches to dig, no corn to pick, no animals to feed, no water to carry. All I had to do was look smart, do my job, and learn the navy way.

ou cannot describe combat to anyone who has not been in it. A description is simply impossible. All veterans who have been exposed to combat situations say the same thing. How can you describe the fear, anxiety, adrenalin rush, confusion, strength coming from nowhere, skin-crawling sights, deafening noise, little or no sense of direction from incoming fire, Before the 1st Firefight—full of piss and vinegar. possible death at any instant, screams and yells, splatters of human detritus and other “unspeakables” flying about, trying to make yourself invisible, trying to organize your disorganized mind and body, and the build-up of pressure with no relief valve in sight? Combat is entropy to the nth degree. It is pure pandemonium.

Then, suddenly, it’s over. You check your body for any kind of “stuff” that might have entered but not been felt during the melee. You look around at the aftermath and feel the goo stuck to you — the kind you can never wash off. But then you are suddenly ecstatic that the pieces of people you see are not part of you.

Booby Traps – Vietnam 1970

from the greatest to the x generation “When I was your age, I walked to school in year-round snow, usually six feet or more, and it was uphill in both directions.” – Unknown member of “the greatest generation” “Why, when I was your age, I was TWICE your age.” – Unknown baby boomer “What’s your point?” – Unknown Gen Xer From Chapter 3 – DARE TO BEGIN CAN-DOERS AND RAINBOW CHASERS

A

wise person once told me that she never complained about cleaning her toilet. She was just happy to have one. Unfortunately, our wonderful country has many Kennys who do not appreciate the abundant opportunities that are within their grasp. Since most of them have never really landed on hard times, they take things for granted. Everything is at their disposal … without limitation. They don’t know what it is to want or sacrifice, and they complain when something is not immediately accessible to fulfill their frivolous and selfish needs.

I have great concern for the people I refer to as “rainbow chasers.” They are narcissists of the first order and have come to the unfortunate conclusion that the world owes them a living.

Actually, that’s incorrect; they think the world owes them prosperity. I am especially concerned that there seems to be more of these rainbow chasers in Generation X than in previous generations.

Experts say there are valid reasons for that entitlement mentality and that the biggest reason is rooted in the birth rate. You see, after the baby boom, the birth rate dropped off the table. Demographically speaking, a 1 percent decline in the birth rate is significant. It is astonishing that the birth rate in 1965 was 30 percent lower than in 1955. Why? It was a confluence of many factors: a new war that kept lots of potential dads away from home, far more women entering the workplace and delaying making a family, and the advent of the birth control pill.

The generation that is now between the ages of twenty-five and forty-five has had very little competition over

the years. The number of classmates in school was manageable; seats were available in their college classrooms; and they enjoyed job opportunities that baby boomers would have killed for. In addition, they have been witness to and part of the greatest technological advances in the history of man.

My parents’ generation, what Tom Brokaw astutely named “the greatest generation,” ushered in the widespread use of the automobile, the telephone, home refrigeration, air travel, and many other revelations. And the baby boom generation witnessed the advent of the television, early computers, and many other advances.

But Generation X has seen the world transmogrified through computers and associated technology. It is easy to take the Internet and the World Wide Web for granted, but think about this: An Internet connection has brought knowledge that has been accumulating throughout the history of mankind to desktops and cellular telephones everywhere.

When I was in school, we had libraries that used the Dewey decimal system and were limited by the physical space allotted on the shelves. No such restrictions exist anymore. Can anyone doubt that by the year 2020 the ownership of a hard-copy book will be limited to collectors? Paper books will have no functional use anymore. We will have the ability to download and read any book ever published in the world for a fraction of the cost of a paperback, and the device that stores the text will be the size of a human hand or smaller.

And how did we ever conduct business or arrange meetings without a cell phone? Most of the greatest companies in existence today were founded without cell phones, but I question whether they could succeed in today’s business environment without them.

By the end of 2009, 90 DECIDE TO DE-

CIDE I learned about decision making a long time ago. I think the best way to present my thoughts on the subject is to explain my “pier-and-boat philosophy.” Imagine you have one foot on the pier and one foot on the boat, and the boat is getting underway (leaving the pier). You better make a decision quickly—whether you are staying, going, or swimming. Indecision is a decision, and it will land you in the water.

The question is, can you swim?

Human nature dictates that we do not like being wet and cold. We prefer to be dry and warm. How can you stay dry, warm, comfy, and cozy and still maintain self-respect when you are forever chasing rainbows, sponging off others, depending on the luck of the draw, and succumbing to the idea of using others as a crutch to compensate for your ineptitude, lack of initiative, and compromised self esteem? Some people may think that I am overly subjective in my analysis of Generation X. Maybe so. But if just one reader experiences a wake-up call, then this was time well spent.

I am not saying that today’s youth must do it the way we did it. Frankly, if they did they would be left behind.

Instead, I am saying that many of our young minds are not being sufficiently challenged and disciplined to think and develop in a way that is concomitant with their abilities.

Your reputation is what you are in the light, but your character is what you are in the dark.

Jack Brown “Big.”

entertainment & gossip “THE ONE charm about marriage is that it makes a life of deception absolutely necessary for both parties,” said Oscar Wilde.

By Liz Smith I DECIDED recently that sometimes people with a real story wait too long to tell it. It may lose impact and forcefulness -- principals die and escape immediate opprobrium. Pop history kind of passes it all by.

Still, I was mildly intrigued when Mimi Alford came out with her story of being a 19-year-old intern who had an affair with President John F. Kennedy in 1962. For a lot of people, this is a big “so what else is new?’ story. Others continue to be mildly titillated by the foibles of the famous, no matter how long some of them are dead.

Mimi, now an attractive older woman, tells her tale a little late in the book “Once Upon a Secret.” (Mimi’s relationship with Kennedy was actually uncovered back in 2003 in another book about JFK. No big deal was made of it at the time.)

She recited her feelings openly to TV legend Meredith Vieira. The latter conducted the interview while frowning in feigned, or perhaps actual, disapproval at the straightforward recitation of youthful infidelity. But Mimi seems to present her minor -- and not unique -- place in history as a philosopher. She offers JFK’s powerful position as a ragingly attractive man who also happened to be the most powerful chief executive in the world as the reason for the brief liaison. She refuses to apologize for her past behavior.

I WAS thinking that this story of Mimi and JFK has plenty of other associations that weren’t all that free of heartbreak and public disdain and dismay. I wrote for years about Kennedy’s love affair with Judith Exner and that seems to have been a different kettle of fish.

Judith slept with a gun under her pillow ever after. (She claimed J. Edgar Hoover’s men spied on her for years and she was afraid they might kill her.) She was desperately in love with JFK and thought he was with her. She told me of breaking with the president and not wanting to. “I was 25 and in love. Was I supposed to have more sense than the president of the United States?” (I always admired this quote.)

Judith confessed to me many years after I met her that she became pregnant by the president and had an abortion arranged by mob boss, Sam Giancana. She said she became an innocent go-between carrying payoff money between the White House and Chicago. (And Judith Exner never spoke publicly about any of this until forced to by a congressional committee. So I more or less believed most of what she confessed to me.)

16 March 1, 2012 THE MILITARY PRESS

MIMI is in a different category. She tries to come off as playful; as she says she and the president were “playful.” They took baths together with yellow rubber duckies, she asserts. He was sometimes downright “silly.”

Except for the feelings of Jacqueline Kennedy, about which Mimi remains buttoned up, her attitude attempts to strike an “Oh, it was completely harmless” vibe. But was it really? JFK pushing drugs on her, expecting her to perform sex on other men while he watched, never showing her real tenderness. They never kissed, she recalls. JFK might have been a potentially great president, but he was a flawed human being. And she was still a teenager! That she would say the sex was consensual, adding, “I wouldn’t call it rape,” is in itself disturbing. Who was calling it rape?

Maybe even at this late date she herself wonders?

There is no longer anything shocking about adultery. Nor can the myth of “Camelot” be anymore tarnished than it has been. There is no one left alive to verify the more salacious aspects of Mimi’s tale. Or the rubber duckies. Still, based on what we know from other sources, Mimi’s confessions sound like JFK’s behavior with all his women, except for Jackie, whom he alternately revered and disrespected.

With changing times, and a much less protective media, we suffered through the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal, which led to impeachment and a rather ruined life for Miss Lewinsky. Monica wrote a book to pay off her enormous legal fees and attempt to rehabilitate herself in the eyes of all. (In Europe, the entire incident was considered laughable. We would impeach a president for his infidelities?!)

I don’t know why Mimi wrote her book. If, as she says, it was all so casual, playful and consensual, why bother? It doesn’t help JFK’s reputation, and unless she wanted to paint herself as a victim of a powerful, insistent man, the parade has passed by on Kennedy mistresses.

est Actor nominee George Clooney arrived to the Academy Awards with his lovely GF Stacy Keibler by his side.

Clooney, who was up against pal Brad Pitt and “The Artist’s” Jean Dujardin, predicted correctly regarding who would take home the Best Actor award, saying, “I think it’s going to be an all French evening. But that’s okay, it’s a fun night.”

“The Descendants” star revealed he played some basketball in the morning before the award show, and said, “There’s a regular game at my house every Sunday morning. So, I shot around a bit. I got a bum elbow so I have to take it a little slow.”

When asked if he was planning to attend some of the Oscar parties, George replied, “I usually try to have diner with my friends somewhere. It’s more fun that way ‘cause we don’t really get a chance to see everyone.”

George’s stunning date, Stacy, wore a gold Marchesa number and explained how she discovered the gown. “I went to Fashion Week for the first time ever. I saw this dress on the runway and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I want to try that dress on.’ It was the only dress I tried on.”

Cover Feature movie. We augmented existing operations and again that’s why it took so long.

Q: From the beginning did you know that there was no way you could get a Hollywood actor to do this with the concept you had?

McCoy: Definitely.

Scott: In the beginning as a filmmaker you do use actors. It was our initial conception of the project, telling real stories and using the actors. But once we got to meet the guys is when we realized the complexity of the character and had the realization that we had to use the real guys. An actor is only going to portray on aspect of the character. We wanted the complexity of it; the husband side, the brother side, the father side, the warrior side and the sacrifice.

McCoy: Then you start to look at operation; these guys are the best in the world at what they do. When we are integrating in the side of real operations, they are real operations! We set out to make an authentic action film that showcased what they do. Then you had to use the real guys. We set out to make an honest action film and you start to move forward. The way the film started to string itself out you couldn’t even think of using anyone else. It naturally involved into that.

Lt. Commander Rourke, Active Duty, US Navy SEAL: Its a lot of quiet and

humble servant oriented people that want to serve and do the nation’s work.

We all said no because of the history of the quiet professional and not advertise the nature of the work. These are the things that are the fabric of our ethos as a warfare commuity and culture. Hopefully it jumps off the screen as something different. It gives a glimpse into what we experience in our daily lives and what we have been living with for a decade and beyond with sustained combat against our enemies – and it will continue.

au-1918

Scott: That was the exploration of the film. There are so many incredible Americans doing such valorous things for no recognition. All of our military and all of our first responders all do things like this and we wanted to explore that. They are such humble people.

McCoy: Its counter to our current culture. Our current culture is all about forget what you did lets talk about what soap box I’m on.

Scott: The film stars the SEALs but it’s metaphorical of all men and women like Scott said that are doing great things for our country. That’s what it is all about for us. It’s our way of saying thanks.

McCoy: That’s why it was so important to show the wives. How heroic are there women? Mothers are almost badder and tougher than their men. What Continues on page 24

By Greg Zyla Q: Greg, my friend Lou Tecco sent us the article you did on Yenko, Gibb and other Camaro greats. You missed a very important factor on an otherwise good story. That is how history gets re-written, right?

1973 — “Jungle Pam” Hardy and “Jungle Jim” Liberman with his Chevy Vega Funny Car.

Y

ou’d be hard-pressed to say who was hotter back in the ’70s– “Jungle Pam” in her gogo boots, short-shorts, and titillating tops… or “Jungle Jim” Liberman’s rubber-melting burnouts, wheelstands, and screaming up and down the length of the dragstrip backwards. Liberman was arguably one of the most flamboyant and memorable showmen on the funny car circuit. He knew better than anyone what the crowd wanted– and hiring the 18 yr old tall, dark and sexy “Jungle Pam” Hardy as his sassy staging sidekick was a calculated stroke of marketing genius. But she was no lightweight. She quickly learned to turn a wrench, know her way around cars, the crowds, and the scene. The fans loved her.

“Jungle Pam” is still a legend to this day, and a true original. Sadly, Jim Liberman left us back in ’77 when his Corvette hit a bus head-on in a tragic road accident. His spirit lives through all the drivers he’s inspired, and the countless memories of his “Jungle Jim” antics and achievements during Liberman’s legendary racing career.

Dick Harrell built the first 427 conversions for Nickey (Chicago), and he also did most of the first 25, including the very first for Don Yenko (Pennsylvania).

Dick Harrell also put Fred Gibb (Chevrolet) on the map. I am not sure of when Dana did the cars, but I could ask Dale Armstrong as he is a knowledgeable Dana guy. I do know that Bill Thomas got a Camaro in early to mid 1966, and that is how all the mounts and headers were formulated (for the 427).

Dick went to Nickey to run the performance parts center and convert the Camaros. The reason for this was to have the dealership sell 50 of the 427 Camaros to make them legal for AHRA class racing. Thanks, Dale Pulde, Los Angeles, CA. A: Nothing better than getting a letter from a nationally respected nitro funny car racer! Of note is the fact that Dale and Harrell’s daughter, Valerie, have been together for years so the info we received is without question correct.

First and foremost, Valerie Harrell receives kudos from this scribe for her unending efforts in keeping the Dick Harrell name alive after his untimely passing in a nitro funny car accident in Canada back in 1971.

Pulde helps explain that the late Dick Harrell, known as “Mr. Chevrolet,” was the major mover behind the 427 Camaro engine swaps, be it Nickey, Yenko, Gibb or whatever before or after the General Motors COPO blessing. Harrell also branched out on his own with a Kansas City based performance center (see ad). Had we not lost Harrell in that racing accident, there’s a good chance today he’d be in the John Force class or racer with countless championships under his belt.

Thanks again to Dale Pulde and Valerie Harrell for assisting in this interesting update to the 427 COPO Camaro articles. For more on Dick Harrell, see www.dickharrell.com.

Remember When . . .

The Corvette is launched!

As introduced in 1953, the Corvette was mostly a thrown together experiment. Production was limited to 300 units total, so sales of the entirely new model was not a problem.

The first Corvette reached the end of the assembly line on June 30, 1953. The first 15 cars were built, all by hand, in the back of a customer delivery garage in Flint, Michigan.

The rest came from a new facility devoted to Corvettes in St. Louis which had a capacity to build 10,000 cars a year. The first two were engineering test cars and, according to official records, were destroyed. Of the first 300 Corvettes, approximately 225 are known to exist today.

All 1953 Corvettes were Polo White with a red interior and a black canvas top. There were two options offered: a signal seeking AM radio ($145.15) and a heater ($91.40). Although listed as options, all 1953 Corvettes were equipped with both items. The base price was $3,498.00, including the federal excise tax and $248.00 for shipping and handling.

The radio had an interesting feature: since fiberglass is electrically inert, the antenna was simply incorporated in the trunk lid. This would not be possible with a conventional steel body.

When introduced in 1953, the Corvette featured the “Blue Flame” six cylinder engine. This is not as the Chevrolet engineering team wanted things, but they had no choice. Although other GM marques featured V8 motors they were not willing to share; a very different situation compared to years later when various divisions would feature the same powerplants. It was renowned for reliability but with a rating of 105 HP, performance and sportiness was not included. The engineering staff responded with the usual engine upgrade methods. A more radical camshaft rubbing on solid lifters, dual valve springs, and a higher compression ratio cylinder head (8.0:1; previous was 7.5:1) all contributed to the effort.

The largest gain was achieved via an upgrade to the induction system (right). Three Carter type YH sidedraft carburetors featuring “bullet” air cleaners with an aluminum manifold were incorporated and the output soared to 150 bhp at 4,500 RPM.

they go through raising their children then go off and do what needs to be done to protect us all.

Talk about the toys in the film, the boats, the guns and the weaponry how was working with such an arsenal?

Captain Duncan Smith: The goal is to allow somebody to see who we are understanding the men themselves and the sacrifices they and their families everyday. When I first saw the movie the scene that struck me the most was the Lt.’s wife sliding behind the door crying when he left. No other movie has captured the heart and essence of being on a SEAL Team and I don’t think a film like this will be made again. This is the one opportunity to get our story right and it worked out brilliantly.

SO1 Ray, Active Duty, US Navy SEAL: We didn’t kid ourselves into thinking we are actors. This is just who we are.

McCoy: What’s interesting in the film is that we got all the toys and its spectacular but we wanted the film to end with all of that stripped away and just the men amongst themselves with what they had in their hands to work with. That’s why at the end scene there is no air support and the men augment with whatever they have to find. That’s really representative of them having to think on their feet and respond. These are really intelligent guys and they just figure it out. So we had to end it without the toys.

Lets talk about you filming the actions – was it tricky, scary, both, all?

McCoy: Our whole lives are about action, that’s what we do day in and day out. It was just fantastic to be challenged and keep up with the boys. We were completely challenged mentally and physically. We put the cameras in the middle of the gunfights and in the middle of the ops. That was Scott and I in the middle of the cameras.

Scott: That was all the dangerous stuff and the light fire stuff. I retired as a stuntman around 35 so it had been five years since doing anything so I was a kid in a candy store getting back in the middle of the action.

McCoy: We wanted to bring a new level of action to the big screen, real action.

This movie is in camera, for real action. There is no CGI in this, there’s no trickery. There is no CGI. Everyone is used to faking it.No, this is for real!

Scott: We are bringing back the action genre because it died. In the ‘90s is when it died and went into this CGI actor on a green screen world. It sucks!

What happened to the great action films! We are determined to bring it all back.

The boat scene is pretty intense.

McCoy: And that was all live fire!

Scott: The audiences are so use to seeing CGI so when they see it for real it’s kind of shocking.

How much input did the SEALs have?

Scott: A lot. We wanted that, we wanted to make sure it was authentic. The operational plans came from them. A target vessel in the South Pacific has something you need, how would you get it – that’s what we’d ask them.

So we’d get our camera crew around them.

What do you want your viewers to get from seeing this film?

McCoy: We want the American public to connect with the concept of an act of valor. Doing heroic things for the sake of your brothers and sisters. There are people all throughout the military and first responders that risk their lives on a daily basis for the person next to them or people they don’t know. We really think that that’s an important idea to grab a hold of in America right now.

Scott: I always use this analogy; you never know who’s in line behind you because he might save your life sometime. I think that so important.
