Temporary Archive: Suzanne Brockmann's Message Board

When talking about classified material you wrote that you had "been cleared to the ridiculous " am I assuming correctly that you lose that clearance when you retire? Did you get that clearance all at once when you became a SEAL ? or was it accorded in increments with job and rank?

I'm not a diver, but was curious about the differences( other that the obvious ,length of time) between using a rebreather or tanks? Is one more comfortable that the other? Easier on the body? Do they differ on the way you descend or ascend? Oh, and is it true facial hair makes it harder to dive?

And when you do a job like EOD or being a SEAL can you even buy nonmilitary life insurance?

Thank You for so graciously sharing your first chapter :)
