SEALs occupy MCASD

Museum? More like mu-don't-see-um!

Director Perry: “The blackened windows are meant to call to mind the heavily redacted official reports of our activities. Black rectangles as far as the eye can see. Plus, they discourage curious passersby from simply peeking through and strolling in. The Navy SEAL Museum is not for everyone, but only for an elite class of museum goer. Trust me, son, there are things inside that the average American simply is not ready to see.”

Former Navy SEAL Tim Perry announced last week that he would serve as director of the new Navy SEAL Museum in downtown San Diego, “occupying the territory recently held by the Museum of Contemporary Art.” Perry noted that the SEALs have a proud and storied history in San Diego, “although much of it can never be mentioned, let alone put on display.” However, he did note that plans were already afoot for “exciting interactive exhibits,” including “Heck Day, a kid-friendly version of the Hell Week to which we subject our new recruits. Kids will be able to learn how long they can tread water, how much they love their country, and a whole host of other fun challenges! We see the Museum as a great way to spark interest in the SEALs at a time of considerable international unrest. Who knows? Today’s visitor may be tomorrow’s operative!” Perry noted that there would also be a space for Sad Dads to hang out during the challenges, “where they can drink beer and tell each other stories about how they almost signed up once upon a time.”
