Navy SEALs

They are all provided but you have to be in the Navy and apply and are only excepted if you are exceptional in your cutting score based on awards, physical tests, etc. i believe there are rank requirements as well.

It depends on the extent of the surgery and underlying reason, but usually not. Fusions are automatic disqualifiers, and any invasive surgery is usually to correct an injury or underlying disease. Those alone are usually enough to disqualify you.

Even if it isn't, the current recruiting climate favors the military rather than the recruit. During economic bad times, the military and civil service are the first places people turn to because they're secure jobs. Retention is high, and since there are so many recruits, the military can pick and choose the best candidates. Anyone with a problem isn't going to be on the top rung of choices.

While there are waivers for anything in the military, when dealing with medical matters the person has to have some background or knowledge skill that places him/her above all other prospects for the Navy to go against set regulations, and even then the skill has to be in an area where the medical problem won't likely be a factor. There are few jobs in the Navy where your back isn't strained. My own Navy career helped degenerate my back faster than it would've normally.

for protection, as astronauts need to wear space suits to do space walks. Humans are fragile beings. Our skeletons and bone structure can only work in a narrow range of pressure around the atmospheric pressure [~1x105 Pa at sea level] -- we have adapted to earth's atmosphere. In deep seas, the human body will encounter a pressure [Pa], in addition to atmospheric pressure, equals to rho*g*h, where rho = water density [~ 1000 kg/m3]; g = 9.8 [m/s2]; and h is the water depth [m].

Atleast more than 100,000$ a year.

You can join the navy S.E.A.Ls with scoliosis if the curve is less than 28 degrees.

Absolutely not - while you can ask for a waiver for previous addiction problems (though it likely won't be approved given the current recruiting climate), you need to be free and clear of any opiates for at least a year prior to enlistment.

Train, train, train, train, train ,operate, train, train, train, fight and drink

The average is around 1% of those who enter BUD/S training that actually graduate, though there are classes that don't graduate any candidates at all. This does not, however, mean that they'll eventually successfully complete SEAL training, which is after BUD/S graduation.

Both jobs are extremely demanding. One person who qualifies as a SEAL might consider a Marine recon unit to be tougher, yet would always consider themselves the best. The Marine recon team would also feel the same way. Such pride is expected in their teams and expected. As to fact, it depends on the situation, as their training is different (with overlaps of course).

That depends entirely upon his individual rank, paygrade, time in service, number of dependents, housing situation, training, duty station, and deployment.

For instance, base pay for an E5, 4 years time in service has a base pay of $2328.00, everything else only increases that.

There is no "better", marsoc is direct action and delta force is counter terrorism. In the end we're all fighting for the same country.

the Guinness world record for breath holding is 22 minutes held by Stig Severinsen. It is called static Apnoea which must be conducted under water. The person uses O2 to get the body saturated before the attempt

No, You just have to be 18 or older, 17 with parents signature.

Entry level into the US military. The training is such, that a man would be at least 18 or 19, or older before he could even win the "beret." The process is long.

In 1962, during the Vietnam war, fighting the NVA (north Vietnamese army) became to difficult with the average "Grunts" of the military, and John F Kennedy formed the elite force, the NAVY SEALS. (Sea Air and Land) and the most elite branch of the US Military.

The navy SEALs are their own group of specially trained soldiers underwater and on land....no air.......

SEAL stands for SEA for fight by sea, the A is for Air and L for land. The SEAL's can do insertion by Sea of course, and Land. the Air part is there for there insertion through HAHO jumps or HALO jumps. They can only do insertions by Air. They cant fight in air. They are the U.S. Military second best Special Operations unit. After Delta Force. They are Second best because of there missions. they can do search and destroy and rescue missions. Any mission is possible for a SEAL except air to air combat. The only time Marine Personal would be with Seals is if they were assisting them. They are never considered one whole team. The Marines have an elite team of there own called Force Recon. these Marine are highly trained but not as much as SEALs. they can perform HAHO jumps and HALO. they can Scuba and attack by land just like seals. the Seals have better equipment and better training, but they sometimes do work with Force Recon Marines because Force Recon Marines are usually in the same vacinity as Seals, on ships. The only reason Force Recon isn't considered Special Forces is because the Corps did not want to give up one of there Special units to Special Forces Command. this way the Corps controls what Recon Marines do. so if the Navy wanted the Marines to send force Recon with a group of there Seals, they would have to get permission from the Corps not the Special Forces Command.

No. While foreign nationals are permitted to serve in the US Armed Forces, there are limitations as to what they can and cannot do. In the 'cannot do' list is any position which requires a security clearance, which effectively rules out any special operations unit. Also note that individuals are not selected for these units - they volunteer.

To the answer above - YOU ARE WRONG -. Foreign Nationals can and do have security clearances. My boss was not a US Citizen and he had a clearance. The highest clearance, in fact, is with DOE. As for a british soldier joining delta force - No, because he is still a member of the british armed forces. If he came here legally, he may indeed be able to join depending on his contributions.

Yes

No: Montel Williams, noted talk show host and personality, enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1974 and a year later was accepted to the Naval Academy. He served as a Crypto Officer aboard the USS Sampson during the Invasion of Grenada, and after 12 years left the Navy with the rank of Lt. Commander.

SEAL team members are members of the US Navy with the same ranks and specialties.

This was true until very recently. They are all members of the US Navy. The enlisted members have ratings not ranks. Ranks are for officers. Enlisted SEALs now have the rate of Special Warfare Operator or SO. They used to have many different rates as did Divers and EOD technicians. The Navy has now made Diver, EOD Technician and SEAL a rate. Rating means what the Army calls rank. The navy has petty officers who are the enlisted men. Petty Officers are 3rd Class, 2nd Class, 1st Class, Chief Petty Officer, Senior Chief Petty Officer and Master Chief Petty Officer. There are also Warrant Officers who are Special Warfare Specialists. The Officers are either Line or Limited duty Officers and are also Special Warfare Officers.

As deep as the mission requires. However realistically they're not doing more than 70 ft for a sub lock in/lock out. Most dives are combat swims meaning they are only a few feet beneath the surface.

As a Navy SEAL, your odds of dying in bed of old age are slightly reduced when compared to the general population. Navy SEALS undergo exhausting and rigorous physical training, and often are assigned to hazardous missions. However, the majority of SEAL team members will survive their military service and return to civilian life.

Navy SEALs regardless of their specialty are paid on the same pay scale and other Military personnel. The amount is based on the rank and the time in service. There are also bumps for dependents and hazardous duty pay.

Conditions on American ships were far superior to that of British ships.
