The Navy SEAL emblem or rather the more correct term 'insignia' is made up of four different symbols; Anchor, Eagle, Trident and a Pistol. In each talon the eagle is holding something, in the eagles right talon it is holding a trident which symbolizes the 'sea king Neptune'. In its right talon the eagle is holding a cocked pistol which symbolizes both that they operate on land and that they are always prepared and ready. The anchor displays that the SEALS are a part of the Navy. Here is a detailed image of the Navy SEAL insignia: http:/patrioticseal.comTrident1.jpg Most correct is breast insignia.

John Lofty Wiseman Part of SAS History - A Legend in his own lifetime
Trooper John Wiseman was born in Britain in 1941
John Wiseman was the first to train members of the Green Berets which was at the formation of the USA's Delta Force who are of the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (1st SFOD-D) - commonly known as Delta in the U.S. Army, Delta Force by civilians, and Combat Applications Group by the Department of Defense - is a Special Operations Force (SOF) and an integral element of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC).
Delta Force's primary tasks are counter-terrorism and national intervention operations, although it is an extremely versatile group capable of assuming many missions, including, but not limited to, rescuing hostages, raids, and eliminating covert enemy forces. Delta Force conducts missions similar to those attributed to the British Special Air Service (SAS), on which it was originally modelled
John Wiseman set a record being the youngest to pass SAS Selection at the very young age of 18 which is no longer possible and now cannot be beat. His service with the Special Air Service Regiment started in 1958 and served with 22 SAS for approx. 26 years. His worldwide service saw activity in every theatre of special forces operation and was
Sergeant Major, B Squadron Sabre Squadron 22 SAS
Sergeant Major 22 SAS Training Wing
Head of Operational Research 22 SAS
He set up the SP Team Counter Hi-Jack now CRW Counter Revolutionary Warfare Wing, The CRW Wing is now nominally made up of the personnel drawn from a single squadron, originally designated "Pagoda", which is relieved every 6 - 9 months. The squadron is split up into two combined troops, "Red" and "Blue", with each troop made up of an assault group and a sniper team. Though the counter-terrorist teams are based at RHQ in Hereford, a specialist eight-man team is based within the outer London region (4, south London border & 4, north London border/Hertfordshire). This team rapidly responds to any situation in London as required.
He help set up the SAS Counter-Terrorist now known as 'The Team' for such teams involved in Operation Nimrod The Iranian Embassy Siege of 1980 was a terrorist siege of the Iranian embassy in London. The siege was ended when British special forces, the Special Air Service (SAS), stormed the building in Operation Nimrod. The incident brought the SAS to the world's attention as the whole episode was played out in the media. Which was undertaken from the SAS barracks Stirling Lines in Hereford
John also ran Survival Training School for 22 SAS at Hereford Stirling Lines for survival skills on land, sea, jungle, desert, arctic, and all manor of wilderness environments. Much of the JWIC Jungle Warfare Instructors Course conducted in Borneo Malaysia is built on the solid foundations laid by John Wiseman and those that followed him. The Jungle Warfare Wing (JWW) is located on the island of Borneo, close to the border with Sarawak (Malaysia) and is supported by the British Army's Brunei Garrison. JWW exists to provide a jungle training facility to meet the requirement to train jungle warfare instructors for the British SAS and other regiments.
John also ran SAS Selection Course which is the hardest course in the world to pass and out of 100 only 5% are consider fit to join the Regiment before they start the real training 'Continuation Training'. The Commanding Officer of 22 SAS is alleged to have said that, "John Lofty Wiseman is an SAS legend" a real accolade from the best.
John Lofty Wiseman has trained survival to many specialists over the years both military and civilian and has undoubtedly saved many lives by his love of all things survival. It is his principles of survival and tools which he introduced that has had the biggest impact on the survival world whose achievements cannot be overestimated!
The Navy SEALs evolved out of BUDs, Basic Underwater Demolition teams. These were based on early volunteers that would swim into beach areas and survey them for landings. They were taught how to destroy barricades on the beaches.

What is the world's most powerful rocket propelled grenade launcher?
The Milkor M32 MGL could be considered the most powerful handheld grenade launcher.
The United States developed the most powerful grenade launcher in history in the late 1950's as part of the program that was engineering the Davy Crockett Weapon System (the M-28 or M-29 and M-388 selectable yield nuclear projectile--nominal yield of .001 to .002 kilotons). The Davy Crockett was euphemistically called the Nuclear Hand Grenade, but weighing in at over 51 pounds each, was hardly manageable by one person. A three man crew was needed for firing the M-388 in either of its configurations. The M-28 was a 102mm, tripod mounted, crew transportable, recoiless rifle with a 2 km range. The M-29 was a 155mm launcher mounted on a tripod or vehicle with a range of 4 km.
Production began in 1956 and 2,100 weapons systems were produced. The weapon was tested twice at the Nevada Nuclear Test Site. On 7 July 1962 a static test of the M-388 wast conducted with the device suspended at three feet. On 17 July (with then US Attorney General Robert Kennedy watching), the M-28 fired a round 1.7 miles for detonation. These were the last above ground nuclear tests conducted by the US. Troops also trained with M-101 Spotter Rounds (non-nuclear) at the Pohakuloa Training Area in Hawaii.
Units were deployed with Davy Crockett systems from 1961 to 1971 (only until 1967 in West Germany). The only remaining examples of this weapons system in existence are in the following museums.
Are the US Navy SEALs better than the Army?
The US Army has its own special forces units. In all cases, the units are extremely well trained for the missions that they are designed to accomplish. They are not expected to be able to do the same things, so it would not make sense to try and compare the two types of units.
How do you reduce the trigger pull on model 60?
"go to DIP and buy a target trigger for around $30"
I take it from that statement you don't own the DIP trigger. I do, it's been on my 60 for over a year, it does not reduce trigger pull. It's a great rigger, I like the straight profile over the curved Marlin trigger and the adjustment for trigger pre-travel, but it doesn't reduce trigger pull. This has been confirmed by several DIP trigger owners and my Lymann digital trigger pull gauge.
There is no simple fix for reducing trigger pull on a Marlin semi-auto. The action has to be taken apart and have parts replaced or modified to reduce pull weight.
For anyone really interested in reducing pull on the Marlin 60, 795 or other variant of the Marlin semi-auto, you should log on to Rimfire Central forums and read the information provided in the stickies of the Marlin sub-forums.

No, there is no public list of all current\former Navy SEALs. Their names are not classified as previously stated, it's just not all public.
If you want to verify somebody's claim that they are a Navy SEAL you could pull their Military Record using The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to do this you need to contact the National Personnel Records Center.
You cannot request this via email, you must submit a signed and dated letter or visit the building in person. Alternitively, you could ask Don Shipley, he is a retired SEAL who claims to be able to verify if somebody is or ever was a Navy SEAL or if they're lieing.
What side arm do navy seals carry?
Navy SEALs typically use a SIG 9mm as a secondary arm but once you make it past BUD/s it is completely up to the operator what firearm they use. SEALs train with all sorts of weapons from all over the world.
