Pranks were so frequent within Bissonnette’s SEAL squadron ranks that the operators “eventually built a wire diagram connecting all the suspected culprits,” he writes. “We used this same wire diagram to track terrorists.”
Pranks included cutting shoelaces and demagnetizing credit cards with large magnets. One of the most popular pranks involved “glitter bombing.”
“I don’t know how many pouches and uniforms I had to replace,” Bissonnette laments, “because purple glitter was caked on Velcro or trapped in the folds of fabric.”
