This was a few years ago, I was working on a photographic project in and around the border. At the time, the Border Patrol and Customs agents were being "assisted" by members of the active military in their duties.

The SEAL guy, who's name and rank I have unfortunately now forgotten, was there helping at the foot crossing from Tijuana to San Ysidro.

Great guy, about 5'9" slightly built but absolutely no doubt of what he was capable of doing if needed. I think he was mainly there for shock value as the sailors who came stumbling thru literally straightened up and attempted to at least look sober when they passed thru the checkpoint. He also served as a liasion between the BP and Naval personnel.

Nice guy, nice gig.
