Fuck all that noise. Only thing I'm really truly terrified of. Swimming in the ocean at night. Watch the Open Water movie of the scenes of them floating out there at night.

I did a real touristy snorkel/scuba dive thing in Australia, was a real fair way out around the great barrier reef, never felt so small and insignificant when I left the boat and got into the ocean.


sometime later I was at my parent's house and my old man was watchin' the deadliest catch, wasn't one of the usual crews, however this boat was going down in the middle of the night, coastguard arrived in helicopters, pulled a few out, but that meant the copter was over its passenger limit, so one rescuer told them to head back to base, just leave him in the water, and comeback later and get him, fuckin dude has balls the size of cannonballs.

Well that's not exactly true. A lot of the course material is classified Confidential and Secret from what I understand, especially courses like SERE. Most the schools themselves aren't classified.

Not at the entry level and selection. You can look it up yourself on Wikipedia. Delta Force training and SERE training. People think that BUD/S training is classified. It is not. Open source unclassified on the internet. I have also come across classified information on the internet in the past. It is amazing the amount of nuclear bomb making information that is open source.
 
I've surfed in south Africa where sharks have been sighted and swum in water over a mile deep, I might do it. Depends how I felt on the day.
 
*New Challenge*

$100,000 to get in the water with a pod of killer whales for 10 minutes, would you do it?

Someone on the forum once mentioned there are no instances of these animals attacking humans in the wild only in captivity. I don't know if that is actually true or not but i wouldn't chance getting anywhere near them.
 
If its 250k after taxes I'll dip my big toe in the water for 30 seconds

The only significant injury caused by a killer whale in the wild was in 1972. A surfer needed about 100 stiches after getting 'bumped' (coulld have been an accidental collision if the killer whale was hunting in the same area, or it indicating to the surfer to move away from the area).
Yes I would do that, would be still be scary though. There is actually one researcher, Dr Ingrid Visser who swims with killer Whales in NZ as part of her research.

And the shark challenge would be easier if you got a hand (fin) for the 75m swim.

This. Scariest moment of my life was sea survial course as part of aircrew training. Floating in the ocean for hours in a drysuit with a thousand feet of dark pacific ocean underneath you. It was lose lose for me as I got seasick in the life raft, and trying my best not to freak out when I had to leave it. Not knowing what was swimming below me really got my imagination in overdrive, and not the right way.
 
I had a family reunion in Galveston last summer, and during the day my 3 brothers and I would fish in the surf, we caught a couple small sharks, Atlantic Sharpnose I believe they were called. Anyways, basically we would wade out until we were chest deep, about 50-60 yards, and cast our lines out, then we would wade back to the beach and wait for whatever would bite to take the bait. For bait we would use any bait fish we could catch in a throw net, sometimes the bait would be too big for the hook, so I would cut it into chunks and use the bloody chucks for bait.

Well one night we got to drinking whiskey, and all decided that our best chance of catching more sharks would be to fish at night, so we went down to the beach to try our luck. We drove a golf cart down there, and used the headlights to shine out into the surf so we could wade out there and cast our lines. We were all pretty drunk, so it seemed like a good idea to wade out in chest deep water at midnight with bloody chunks of bait....

I think the moment it dawned on my drunk ass that this was a bad idea, was when I watched my brother wade out beyond the headlights, and I thought to myself, “Well God, I hope he comes back...”

The next morning, through the hangovers, we all pretty much agreed we were lucky to be alive. So no, not for 250,000 dollars would I swim in the open Ocean at night.

Sharks are not mammals. Now, a rhinoceros is a mammal and weighing in at 5,000 pounds. I would not want to be close to a female rhino and her cubs.

*calf.

I only corrected you because you corrected the other guy and wanted to get a trrend going.
 
It's pretty unlikely a shark would be within 2 km of you to start, which means at minimum you'd have a good 2 minutes before it's even be able to get in range to attack you. So, if you're a fantastic speed swimmer and the waves/current isnt awful, I think the chance would be worth it.

You can look up basic information about the courses, but the actual course material is classified as Confidential. It's not classified that someone attended SERE, it's the actual information that they learn.

How about some dares?

Most of us would of seen footage of those great white sharks down in South Africa breaching out of the water when hunting seals. On some documentaries fake seals are towed behind a boat to try and get a shark to attack and breach and it always seems to work.
Now, for a quarter of a million dollars would you go to that area, jump out of a boat, swim 75 metres over to another boat, then jump on board?
Oh yeah, in the middle of the night?

Do I have to sex you before or after this?

Resistance is most likely the classified part. Nothing too secret really. It would have to do with torture methods, like water-boarding. Stuff the military does not want the general public to know. Stuff the military was/is doing in Guantanamo. Basically human rights violations, but this at the trainee level. The U.S. Air Force even had instances where female students where being raped. Male students may be getting raped too. I'm sure that has now stopped. Here is some insight:
. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2009/01/cancel_waterboarding_101.html
. https://www.military1.com/training/...rvival-evasion-resistance-escape-sere-school/
. http://static.e-publishing.af.mil/production/1/af_a3/publication/afh10-644/afh10-644.pdf

Now, here is classified stuff that should not be on the internet:
. Assembly - Nagasaki type bomb (primary trigger for a Hydrogen bomb): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_Man
