It totally depends on the member's current rank, time of service, and any additional benefits/allowances he's afforded (hazardous duty, dependents, housing, etc.). It's different for each SEAL.

United States: Girls there are so beautiful, I have bin all around the world (USA, Russia, Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, UK, Sweden, China, India) and I never saw girls better. By the way USA won most official and unofficial international contests like THE SEXIEST GIRL 1991-2010, 100 MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN 2003-2009, and so on... The winners Britney Spears, Megan Fox, Estella Warren and many others. It is easy to explain, United States consists from many most sexy nations like France, England, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Ireland... In reality the most sexy country for people is ware they come from, for Chines it is China, for Russians it is Russia and for me it is America because I am an a American :)

The Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist Designator, like all Navy Warfare emblems before it (Submarine Dolphins, SEAL Trident device, etc.) is worn on the left breast of the uniform above the ribbon devices, if any are authorized.

However, if the member is qualified in more than one Warfare Specialty, the current warfare specialty the member is working in takes precedence for uniform requirements. For example, as a Submariner, I of course had Dolphins to wear once I became Qualified in Submarines, but we did have the occasional skimmer (surface navy guy) go insane and volunteer for the Submarine Force.

If he was Qualified as an ESWS, and then subsequently became Qualified in Submarines, he would wear the Submarine Warfare badge (Dolphins) in the normal spot above the ribbon device, since he was currently serving in the Submarine Force and not the Surface Navy. The ESWS badge would then be worn underneath the ribbon device.

There are multiple bases that make up the Atlantic fleet, such as Mayport FL, Norfolk VA, Pascagoula MI. Any ship that works in the Atlantic Fleet region can be considered part of the Atlantic Fleet.

Absolutely not - the U.S. Navy currently has the largest afloat Navy in the world, and with the collapse of the Soviet Union, no other nation is even close in size or strength.

Army ships are generally logistics, landing, or electronics telemetry receiving ships and tugs. They are few in number compared to the Navy, since the Navy's mission is to keep global sea lanes open.

A link below shows the current list of Army ships, excluding the US Army Corps of Engineers.

Often, it is offered as an elective at large high schools near navy reserve centers. You can sign up with the rest of your high school classes. Sometimes it is during school, and other times it is after school. You may have to go to a different high school campus within your district by buss for NJROTC. Sometimes, the class qualifies as a P.E. or occupational elective credit.

One would typically report in the uniform of the day. Dress Blues or Dress Whites is always appropriate.

Das Boot and Master and Commander are the only ones I can think of.

There is no average - sailors who are stationed aboard active Navy ships and submarines are generally aboard every day in port, and of course 24/7 while underway. The exceptions are if the sailor is detached for training or any type of leave.

While in port, a typical day is like any other job, typically muster at 0700 and dismissal at 1630 or 1700. Usually, 4 day watch rotations are set in port, meaning every 4 days sailors assigned to the specific watch sections must remain on board past normal duty hours to stand in-port safety and security watches. Ships and submarines require constant attention. Breaking up the watches over a 4 day period ensures that everyone gets time off with family. Larger ships with bigger crews may have 6 or more days for a watch rotation. Shore commands might have 30 day watch rotations.

Navy mission requirements and the assigned specific mission of the vessel any sailor is stationed on determines how often the ship/submarine is at sea or away from home port. For example, during my first year on board my vessel (USS RAY (SSN-653), a fast-attack submarine) I noted that we were away from home port or at sea for approximately 300 days out of the year. Submarines are usually only deployed for periods of less than 90 days, whereas surface vessels can remain at sea for much longer periods. This is due to the ability of surface vessels to resupply at sea.

There's really only one primary skill required for any Navy SEAL or Special Operations member - Mental Focus. The military can teach you how to build your stamina, strength, teach you about explosives, strategy, guns, etc., but the cannot teach you the mental will to survive and go on no matter what you are exposed to. Of all of my former students who asked me a similar question, I told them that as long as they understood that the entire process is a mind / mental game and exercise, they would have no problem - and they didn't. All made it through BUD/S and became SEAL's.

Personal will under extreme stress does not come easily to most people, and it cannot be taught - you either have it or you don't. It's a personal and mental decision when you are in extreme pain, are freezing, or feel you cannot go on. This is the single most common thread for all SEAL's - they will not give up under any circumstances, and that is what is required to become a SEAL.

Average physical stamina and strength are needed, but that's part of what BUD/S training is all about anyway. As long as you can pass the required entrance physical, you shouldn't have any problem during BUD/S training if you can maintain your mental focus.

I've often compared it to Martial Arts training because the percentage of successful candidates is about the same - 1% of those who apply actually make it through. Martial Arts is the same - only 1% of those who begin in Martial Arts will ever make it to 1st Dan, or 1st Degree Black. This is because of the intense personal committment and mental focus required to achieve that goal.

after boot camp...hence the RECRUIT part of Seaman Recruit...idiot.

The Naval Academy was organized in 1845 by Secretary of the Navy George Bancroft. It was first known as the Naval School but that was changed to the current Naval Academy. In 1930 the curriculum was accredited by The Association of American Universities. In 1933, an act of Congress enabled the graduates to receive a Bachelor of Science degree. In 1937 Congress enacted legislation to award the Bachelor of Science degree to all living graduates.

From the US Navy's official website: "The mission of the Navy is to maintain, train and equip combat-ready Naval forces capable of winning wars, deterring aggression and maintaining freedom of the seas."

The United States Marine Corps is actually a component of the US Navy with 3 outlined missions:

* "The seizure or defense of advanced naval bases and other land operations to support naval campaigns; * the development of tactics, technique, and equipment used by amphibious landing forces; and * such other duties as the President may direct."

During the Vietnam War, the minimum standard was 70.

The USS Nassau design work was done by Ingalls Shipyard, Pascagoula MS in the early 1970's. She was novel in her design in that much use was made of off the shelf engineering systems usually found in merchant ships. Her automated cargo handling system, automated boiler controls, and much of her hydraulics proved to be unsatisfactory and were eventually removed.
