**CM (SEAL) Boesch's rating

Does anyone know what rate he was? --ProdigySportsman 02:53, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just did some Googling, and no luck.

OK. Think I might have found something. This PDF doc (on page 14) lists him as BMCM (SEAL).

BMCM (SEAL) Boesch, USN (ret.)

Tat rate makes sense, especially for someone serving that long ago. Boatswain's Mate is probably the most common rate amongst SEAL operators. Also, I thought of this, we are assuming he was a Master Chief i know the Wik-bio says this but you can never be too sure. Thank you Jake for your work. --ProdigySportsman 17:15, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No prob. Glad I was able to track it down. -JakeApple 18:05, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

UDT? Scouts and Raiders?

At the time Survivor was on, I recall reading he enlisted in WW2 and was in something called "Scouts and Raiders" where they were going to or did work with Chinese guerrillas against the Japanese. He stayed in the Navy, and joined UDT 1950 (start of Korean War)? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Purpleslog (talk • contribs) 18:39, 6 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Here's a snippet from his Survivor 8 bio:

Rudy joined the Navy in April of 1945 and immediately volunteered for "secret and hazardous duty" with the Amphibious Scouts and Raiders, highly classified naval commando units. In 1951, six years after Scout and Raider training in Fort Pierce, Florida, Rudy completed UDT (Underwater Demolition Teams) training in Little Creek, Virginia, and was assigned to UDT-2 (redesigned as UDT-21 in 1953). He remained in UDT-21 for the next 11 years.

Hope that helps to clarify things.

$65,000 question

I read the lastest 3rd place winner Yau-man was paid 65 grand for third, can I assume Rudy was too?

"Stint" in Vietnam

I don't think it's appropriate to refer to his service in Vietnam as his "stint" in Vietnam. It's insulting to soldiers who served there, let alone a soldier who did what he did. I would change stint to "service."--Lindsay (talk) 17:14, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
