US Navy SEALs invade Fillmore
The United States Navy SEALs came to Fillmore last Wednesday, March 5th to run about four dozen Fillmore High School Juniors and Seniors through some rigorous military exercises. School administrators and members of the PTO attended for support. Several SEALs addressed 46 students, male and female, stressing they are interested in students from all backgrounds. Women cannot serve in the SEALs. Chief James Johnson and Recruiter Anthony Jimenez were just two of the SEALs who oversaw swimming five laps in five minutes, running a mile in seven minutes, and completing 15 pushups, 45 situps, and two pullups, all within two hours.One of the top five qualifiers, Chad Petuoglu, a FHS junior, ran a 7-minute mile, swam five laps, and completed eight pullups, 67 pushups, and 60 situps. FUSD Superintendent Alan Nishino visited the SEALs last year at the Amphibious Base Coronado, San Diego. SEAL MOTTO: ‘The only easy day was yesterday.’
