The first African American to acheive the Navy rank of Master Diver and Master Chief. He was born on a farm in Kentucky, father a share cropper and they were dirt poor. He was born in 1931 and fought the system to become the first of his kind to get the highest level rank of an enlisted man. The Navy Diver's were the salvage diver's that did many challenging missions handling demonlitions to clearing the underwater fighting areas for the fleet to anchor. A Navy Diver is not a fightling man, he clears salvage and clears the underwater. God rest Carl's soul as he lived to be 75 and is a departed Navy Diver WHY would anyone want to be a NAVY DIVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am the child of a Navy Diver.............................................................................
The dress uniform is the same as the rest of the navy. scuba diver qualification badges are not worn.

Yes, a girl can become a Navy diver. The United States Navy does not have any gender restrictions for positions, including diving. As long as the individual meets the necessary requirements and qualifications, they can pursue a career as a Navy diver.
Yes But they Supply you with the Frames :)
There is a Master Chief in the picture of Carl's graduation class from Salvage Diving School at Bayonne, NJ. Write to the Navy and get the name of that diver. Chances are it was a WW II Navy Diver as they were few and far between. The diver schools were kept secret as the enemy would kill the divers first as they did lots during war time. So it would have to be a WW II veteran a lifer in the Navy. Check that picture that is your Navy MDV ( Master Diver) that trained Carl Brashear. My father was a retired MDV and Ship fitter in the US Navy.
He was the first African American US Navy Master Diver.

No he was just a Navy diver. The Seals were not around until 1962 a few years before his accident that took his leg.
I'm new to yahoo questions so I'm not sure how to work it well. Anyways I sign enlistment papers tomorrow and I'm picking navy diver at Meps. I know it's not a guarantee due to what he navy really needs but if that rate is open I'm picking it. I'm very headstrong about it and my recruiter knows. Nothing can change my mind if that rate is available. I'm just curious in what I can expect to sign exactly tomorrow morning
about 1/300 is the drop rate of hilts
