Probably, but you wouldn't want to, often guys go from Force Recon to SEALs. SEALs are the top, if someone wanted to stop operating, they would transition to a job still involved with the Navy Special Warfare community, not to another branch or to a different community, you don't go through the things you have to in order to be a SEAL just to go back, SEALs start off in things like Force Recon amd Army SF. Being a SEAL is the ultimate goal

The Marine Corps has always been under the Department of the Navy, from its beginning until today. The Navy and Marine Corps are 2 separate entities within the Department of the Navy, and each have their own senior Commander who oversees each branch. For the Navy, it's the Chief of Naval Operations, the Marines it's the Commandant of the Marine Corps. Both officers report directly to the Secretary of the Navy, who in turn reports to the Secretary of Defense, and then the President.

The Naval Warfare Designator for Submariners is a pair of Gold (Officer) or Silver (Enlisted) dolphins, each one abreast of the bow of a submarine.

There are many variants on the design, though most of us have always preferred the older, traditional design (see my Supervisor page). Some Officer's dolphins also include their specialty within the design, where the bow of a submarine is replaced by the specialty insignia, with the dolphins abreast of it. For example, the Engineer will have an encircled propeller with dolphins on either side, Supply Officer (Chop) a Supply Corps insignia, and a Submarine Doctor an oak leaf with a blue jewel thingie.

Newer variants also show a modern teardrop/cigar shaped hull to signify more modern boats, but I always preferred the old style with the Fleet Boat bow design.

The dolphins are used in the insignia because dolphins historically are considered friends of sailors, and submarines especially. Dolphins are constant companions riding a submarine's bow wave on the surface, and are usually around a boat at periscope depth as well.
