Underwater Demolition Team

stands for Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL. The “BUDS” course is the basic schooling before SEALS. He passed this course and later went on to join SEAL team 3. After he was in the SEALS Kyle went to a bar in San Diego and this is where he met the love of his life Taya, who later became his wife and mother of his two children. “Ironically they were playing 'Down Under' by Men at Work a great Aussie band. Maybe the Aussie influence made her go into that bar with her friend or maybe it was the fact that her friend paid for them to go in there”(ChrisKyleAmericanSniper.info). Whatever the reason was that she went in there she too met the love of her life. Taya was a pharmaceutical drug rep from Oregon. She was in the bar talking to one of Kyle’s friends when she noticed him. they started talking and she asked him what he did for work, so he said he was an ice cream truck driver. She did not believe him and went on to figure out he was in the military. After the night at the bar, she would not call him back for a little bit and his friends all teased him about this, but, one day she did and this started their lives together. Taya and Chris eventually got married and had two children together, one boy and one girl. They stayed with each other through good and bad times until Chris was killed in February 2013. Now that you know about Kyle and how he was a SEAL, what is a SEAL’S job and what do they do? SEAL actually stands for Sea, Air, and Land. “Today's SEAL teams trace their…

He was a true shit-disturber and a great role model for all aspiring shit-disturbers. I had the pleasure of hanging out with Lemmy a few times at his favorite LA haunts, the Rainbow Bar and Crazy Legs. Lemmy lived what he wrote about in songs. He was a true rock & roll icon, on and off the stage. That is why I asked him to play the U.S. President in Return to Nuke ‘Em High…
