“Spot”, “Milk Dud” Ghane was a close friend. His father died when he was in BUD/S, his mother had a stroke when he was in BUD/S and he busted his ankle while he was in BUD/S. He was rolled back 3 times and still graduated. He spent a year in BUD/S. I miss that guy.

Way back when I was a kid we used to joke when a operator died in a “training exercise” that it was really code for something else. Cause in piece time what else would they die from? Right?
So even today when they way stuff like this I have to wonder… Training exercise?
This time I guess so, but isn’t that what they always want you to think.

The SEALs were practicing at the following facility in CQC when the accident occured.
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=34.941718,-90.205232&ie=UTF8&ll=34.941709,-90.205221&spn=0.026349,0.054803&t=h&z=15&iwloc=addr&om=0
The facility is much like that used by the SAS and the famous “killhouse”.
The Navy on Friday identified the SEAL as PO2 Shapoor Alexander Ghane Jr., 22, of Las Vegas.

Its not well known outside of military circles but for the 1st year of Operation Iraqi Freedom, casualty rates were actually lower than many years during peacetime. Their was a running joke that the most dangerous places to serve in the Marine Corps was aboard carriers (never could figure that one out), at 29 Palms (that was simple…live fire capital of the world) and at the Northern Training Area in Okinawa so my heart goes out to not only the fallen here but also to his ship mates who are gonna have to still train hard and carry on. I guess my last wish is that the “zero defect” monster has finally been slayed so that these guys can keep moving.

These guys are the ultimate, what I like to call, “intelligent warriors”. Being the best of the best comes with a price. Hopefully this was one of those unfortunate accidents that rarely occur.
