I've been surprised by who jumps in to help me in a sudden emergency,
and who stands by with a blank stare. One such was a former Navy diver
who had told everyone what a hero he was.

Some women including my ex respond very well in a crisis despite
having no training. In general I'd pick former submarine crew who are
fairly plentiful in high tech, unlike SpecOps vets.
