Navy SEALs

Marines are not on par with the Seals.

Marines are a regular force, seals are special operations.

A more likely match would be Marine Recon Vs Seal

The Navy SEALs go through very rigorous training, and everybody knows it. However, they ARE limited (which people don't know) as they are trained in small unit tactics, etc. Example, you would not send the SEALs to take out an army. Individual people, yes, but not large forces. The aren't Superman! I think it is because they have a lot of publicity and since Bin Laden and True Valor and Call of Duty, etc., Special Forces and the SEALs get so much attention so people think they can do everything.

U.S. Navy RTC or basic training is 9 weeks long. But your first week is for processing mainly.

The Green Berets practice "unconventional warfare" in its many forms. The Green Berets are organized into elite commando units, each consisting of 12 members, which conduct stealth raids and ambushes. In addition to direct combat, Green Berets are trained for guerrilla war, sabotage, and subversion. An aspiring Green Beret must serve about three years in the Army before applying. From there, he enters a two-year long "pipeline" before being assigned to an operational group. Every Green Beret must learn to speak a foreign language.

The Army Rangers are light infantrymen that perform many of the same duties as the Green Berets raids, ambushes, and airfield seizures "by land, by sea, or by air." Any 18-year-old male may apply to the Rangers when enlisting. The specialized training takes one and a half to two years.

Huge ammounts of PT. During BUDS as an example, the average distance that a trainee runs each and every day is 12 to 15 miles. Pushups etc. zillions. Long distance swims, up to 10 miles. Standing on your head or other tortures, constant.

Clean racks (bed), the best food in the military, the most powerful single military force on the planet, good training and pay. But, long deployments and time away from loved ones while you get to literally see the world.

Yes

US has better navy for it has 12 aircraft carriers unlike Britain who only has ships that can launch harriers.

The minimum enlistment age then, as it is today, was 17, and parental permission is required. Quite a few noted sailors and Marines lied about their age and actually enlisted at 16, since records were harder to come by then.

Medal Of Honor most people who get it are dead because they saved there Team by jumping on a grenade or holding the enemy back while he stays and fights.

The orignal UDTs, from which the SEAL teams were formed, were created in 1943 under Roosevelt. The first SEAL teams, 1 & 2, were created in 1961 while JFK was in office.

Bruce Campbell (the actor from the Evil Dead and other movies) never served in the US military. He became friends with director Sam Raimi when they were teens, and got into moviemaking together.

It depends on what you're taking it for, but if it's been for any length of time and a medical diagnosis has been made concerning the usual things that it's prescribed for, and you're actively being treated for it, then it's likely a medical disqualifier.

The military generally looks at your past history; what the diagnosis is, how long you were treated, and if you're currently taking any meds for a diagnosis now. Typically they want recruits to be off meds for those kinds of problems for at least a year, with no ongoing treatment.

The replacement battery for the Luminox Navy Seals watch is an SR57. Equivalent battery models are the LR57, SR927, LR927, SR927W, GR927, AG7, SG7, and generic Enercell numbers 195/395/399. It measures 9.4 mm diameter x 2.6 mm thick, and generates 1.5 V.

I have replaced my own Luminox Navy Seals watch battery with no problems. Luminox says that the warranty is voided if you don't have the work done by a certified dealer, but my watch is so old that I don't care about that.

Procedure for replacing the Luminox Navy Seals watch battery:

Work in good light. Using a flip-down magnifier with a headband is helpful but not essential unless you don't have sharp close-up vision.

Use a jeweler's Philips-style screwdriver to remove the four back-plate screws. Put them aside where they can't be lost. As you lift the back plate, be careful not to damage or lose the delicate rubber-gasket O-ring that rests beneath it; leave it in its groove if possible.

When removing the battery itself, be careful of the thin, round perforated metal ring that rests on the upper, outer edge of the battery. Note the orientation of the battery; the side that is completely flat, with markings on it, must face upward (--toward-- you) when it rests inside the watch.

After putting the new battery into place, and when replacing the back plate, be sure that the O-ring gasket lies flat and undistorted in its recessed groove as you delicately press the plate down. The battery itself, with its overlying metal ring, should seat down smoothly, without resistance, as you press the back-plate into position.

It is advisable to just slightly tighten the screws one-by-one as all four are put in place. When all four are in place, tighten them down completely. Snug them firmly but don't over-tighten them.

Again, it's not hard to replace the battery in this watch. Just be careful and methodical as you proceed.

It depends on where it is; if it's visible while wearing a uniform, it'll require a waiver before you can join.

Sea, Air, Land

no it does not as far as i know at this time. they only compansate you by the means of a hotel and food.

They get paid by the month and it depend on what rank they are as to how much they get paid.

You do not require a college degree to join the SEALs, even though about 1/3 of all SEALs have a college degree. I would suggest getting your basic bachelors degree. Anything more (unless you plan to have a job that requires a high education level when you get out of the Navy) is just a waste of time. If you want, you can go through NROTC (Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps), and enter the Navy as an Ensign (Naval equivalent to a Second Lieutenant).

Remember, the SEALs have a 75-80% DOR (drop on request) rate, and you have to be VERY physically fit in order to make it through or excel at BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolitions/SEAL training). The SEALs also have to train a ridiculously long time before they're ever even deployed (I think a couple years).

One other thing you may want to look into is the SEAL Challenge. Not too many people seem to know what this is, and I'm not even sure I do. Talk to your recruiter about it. I think it's a quick way to get into BUD/S immediately after basic Naval boot camp, instead of completing your 4 required years in the Navy.

Good luck! HOOYAH!

There were 2: Seal 1 at Coronado and Seal 2 at Little Creek. At the time Seal Teams and Army Special Forces Teams shared a lot of specialized training back and forth. Austrailian SAS also worked and served with US Seal and SF teams, and US teams adopted a lot from the SAS model.

Royal Thai Navy SEALs was created in 1956.

Considering a member of the U.S. Navy SEAL team can attack from land, air and the sea, one could, and probably should, consider them amongst the best qualified to carrry out almost any mission.

The helicopter employed to kill bin Laden was the Navy variant of the Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk, though officially the Navy has designated it the MH-60 Sea Hawk
