Navy SEALs

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.

Most probation officers will start out making close to $14 to $15 per hour. The more experience they have, the more money they will likely make.

The pay of a probation officer will vary from State to State. The salary per year can be as high as $100,000

It would be hard to get an exact number. But we can make a guess. According to the official US Navy web site, there are 2450 Seals on active duty plus 325 in reserve. Most US Navy Seals are enlisted personnel, so that drops the percentage. If we look at about 15% officer, which I believe is high, that would be 416 Seal Officers. NROTC commissions about 20% of the Naval Officers. OCS is probably another 20%. DCO and other programs probably make up another 10%, so it would be reasonable to guess that 50% of the Seal Officers attended the Naval Academy for about 200, a little less than 10%.

Osama Bin Laden has been hiding for approximately ten years until he was killed.

The motto of United States Navy SEALs is 'It Pays to be a Winner'.

All Navy and Marine Corps Commissioned Officers are allowed to wear swords with a ceremonial uniform. It makes no difference of whether or not they're a Navy SEAL or not.

If you're talking about combat swords, SEAL personal weapons are the individual operator's choice, though swords are a bit clumsy for today's combat techniques. A small knife can do the job a lot better and with less noise.

You can but you must also have 15 college credits, level 100 or higher. They will not accept just a GED.

If your talking about SEAL team 6, no. Not any of them died, yet. Normal Navy SEALs got ambushed once with a helicopter, and two of them died. As far as I know, I bet that not even 60 Navy SEALs died.

No offence or anything but that was a completely stupid question its not that hard to find out anyway ask someone around you your mum or dad should know or someone else I mean you wouldn't join it if you were 2 now would you a reasonable age would be about 18

It depends on what you are talking about. If your talking about preparing for the SEALs then you can train anywhere. Just do Basic Physical workouts. For more info go to www.navyseals.com and click on workout of the day. But if you are talking about where they train and do BUD/S then that is in Coronado California. But remember SEAL training is the most intense training program in the world mentally and physically!

The US Navy SEALs were commissioned by directive of President John F Kennedy. He felt that each branch of the US Armed Forces should have Special Forces type of unit. The Army had the Special Forces (Green Berets). The Air Force had PJs and Air Commandos. The Marines had Force Recon. The Navy had Underwater Demolition Teams but their expertise in land warfare was limited. The Navy decided to form an elite unit capable of land warfare and drew from the UDTs. They were all Airborne qualified and Combat Swimmer qualified. The Navy sent the newly formed SEALs to various Army and Marine training schools. On January 1, 1962 SEAL TEAM ONE and SEAL TEAM TWO were commissioned.

The pay scale is the same no matter what MOS (military occupational skill) you have. so if you are a ssgt or E-6 you will get paid the same as every other E-6 in the army. But, you may get more money in a rank if you are in a rank longer, example an E-6 with 3 years in the army wont get paid as much as an E-6 with 15 years in the army. ( it usually takes longer to get rank that fast and reach ssgt in 3 years but, not impossible). And you get additional pay for every skill identifier you have example airborne, Halo, air assault, Pathfinder, scuba, ranger ect, ect, you will get more pay for more things you can do, then if you get hazardous duty pay, cola, BAH, ect,ect. and the army pays you more monthly for every language you speak, so green berets learn a additional language so if you are talented and can speak 3 languages fluently then three more things to get paid for(Spanish doesn't apply). So yes they can make a little more than the average soldier it can also work for a regular soldier it all depends on the individual and his capabilities.

Probably hundreds a year but few make it out and half of them either want to be a Warrior or challenge themselves through something more difficult then the ordinary stuff and buy the way its Pronounced SEAL SEa Air Land also read the capital letters and HOOYAH

First off there needs to be some serious clarification here, CIA Officers are Americans who work out of U.S. Embassies overseas, and their job is to recruit foreign assets who give our country secret information. When we think of 'spies' we are thinking of CIA Officers, aka Intelligence Officers, Case Officers or Operations Officers. CIA 'agents' on the other hand are usually foreigners who are betraying their own country to pass on this information to the U.S. govt. thru the American CIA Officer (Hollywood and the media screws up this distinction all the time, Jason Bourne would actually be a Paramilitary Operations Officer, not an agent; James Bond would actually be an MI6 Officer not an agent). In the Showtime series Homeland Clair Danes and Mandy Patinkin are Officers, while Brody would be considered an 'agent' when he agreed to go to Iran on behalf of the CIA for a mission. Another term for a CIA 'agent' is a confidential informant or asset. Now to the question of 'Do CIA officers carry badges or guns?' the answer is No. CIA Officers are not cops, they are not Federal law enforcement agents or police, they do not have any law enforcement powers like arrest, search & seizure. Only overseas in certain dangerous, high-threat environments do CIA officers carry weapons, like in Afghanistan. The only CIA employees who carry badges and guns are the Federal Security/Police officers who patrol and protect CIA headquarters in Virginia, and also within the Office of Inspector General (all federal agencies have an OIG), within that office there are criminal investigators who investigate waste, fraud, illegalities and other abuses within the agency, these OIG investigators do have limited law enforcement powers and do carry a badge, but these investigators are not spies and are no different from the OIGs in other govt. agencies like the Postal Service, the Forest Service or State Dept. Those last two examples are the only exceptions to the general rule that the 'CIA does not carry badges and/or guns.'

There both very difficult training programs but you really cant compare their training because there two totally different units

--------------------------

Navy SEALs have the highest percentage of dropouts during training of any elite units in the US military. There is also a much higher level of cross-training than Rangers. The Navys unofficial attitude toward SEAL training is to push the candidates to a level where mental breakdowns would occur before physical ones. The mind is easier to condition than what SEAL and BUDS schools will do to a trainees bodies. Only 'unique' individuals will have the physical blessings to endure training on this scale without their body breaking down. Romantic notions enforced by Hollywood movies aside, Navy SEALS have a reputation as one of the very hardest special operations forces in history.
