Ventura's real name.
What is UDT?
Underwater Demolition Team. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_Demolition_Team
There is a disagreement as to whether or not UDT were equivalent to SEALs at the time Ventura was a member. Some say yes, some say no. Either way, he was never officially part of a SEAL team. The wiki post states that in 1983, after additional SEAL training, the UDTs were rolled into SEAL teams.
Travis McGee (Matt Bracken) maintains that Ventura was not a SEAL by the definition/classification of the time.
That’s good enough for me.
Thanks, I did not know that was Ventura’s real name and thanks for the clarification of UDT
