He may only be a toddler, but in his future the potential boyfriend of former Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell’s daughter has an experience waiting for him on par with the infamous SEAL entry test, BUD/S.
After watching 22 Jump Street, the 196cms tall and 114kg Luttrell took to Facebook to detail the specifics for gaining his blessing to date his two-year-old daughter, Addie.
Luttrell told Fox News the rant was inspired by Ice Cube’s portrayal of a raging protective father.

Luttrell said that his daughter’s decision to write all over her body with markers prompted him to think about the “tattoo conversation” he would have to have with her, which somehow led to thoughts of future boyfriends.
The post was shared more than 4,000 times in just a matter of hours.
But he said that, when the time comes, he will be rational and that his post was somewhat tongue-in-cheek.
“I’m a realist ... I remember being 16 and 17 years old and what that felt like,” he told Fox and Friends Weekend.

“And I have a 16-year-old stepson who has his homecoming tonight and he told me he’s got a date. I said ‘hey that’s great’ but in the same breath: ‘you better treat her right.’
“The most important thing to me is that I hope she [his daughter] finds someone unconditionally and treats her well and loves her as much as I love her mother.”

Still, even if Luttrell does loosen the ability to rope a tornado as a requirement, there’s still that underlying doubt for potential boyfriend’s about measuring up to the father of their squeeze, a decorated Special Forces operator.
We’re glad it’s not us.
