Hello,
I have been interested in the Navy Seals for a few years now. I’m currently 19 and in college. I’m in fairly good shape (plan on increased exercise before training) but was never in sports or have had any kind of fighting experience. I want to serve my country but I want the best training and want what’s going to push me harder than I’ve ever been pushed. Would joining the Seals be the right choice for me? Should I consider the marines or army first before Seals? I also wanted to know how you obtain certain jobs, such as Scout Sniper? In general, what should I expect from the job? I know Seals have quite the reputation, but how does it feel to be a Seal and how much did training change you as a person? Thank you very much for your time

My God Father claims to have been a USNavy SEAL.
He does not wear any underwear and he tells me NO SELF RESPECTING frogman wears any underwear.
Is he full of baloney, or is this true? Why?
He mentioned something about a skivie (sp) check ? whatever.

I am a fiction writer, and am working on a novel which has an ed-Navy SEAL as the protagonist. Eventually, I will want a SEAL to look at what I’ve written, before I send it off to an agent.
Can someone help me with this?

Hi, i’m currently in the Navy and undecided whether or not I want to stay in or get out and the only option to stay in is if i can get orders to a seal team as a spec ops rigger and before i do it i just wanted to see if i could get any information on what kind of roll a “pr” takes in the teams. thank you

Hello,
Is there any way I can confirm someones status as a NAVY SEAL. My father in law is claiming to used to be one. Is there any military record database or any graduation class list?

I am wondering at what age do Navy Seals typically retire. Also, how difficult is it for Navy Seals to maintain marriages? Is there a high divorce rate?

Does a failed depth perception at MEPS disqualify me from a SEAL or Diver challenge contract ?

#9 elizabeth, semper fi is short for semper fidelis and is more of a marine corp thing it means always faithful in latin i.e. always faithful to our country, the corp, and our marine brothers

In the final part of Seal Cold Weather Training, how does a person dry their clothes after spending several minutes in the water without a dry suit? Do you build a fire or use chemical packs or just try to get warm through physical exertion or what?
