Although retirement pay will be granted to any SEALs once they decide to stop participating in active duty, most SEALs are still of a young age and can still accomplish much more in their lives. Many of them will go on to have long and fulfilling careers in other fields, using the skills which they learned in the SEALs to push them further along a career achievement path. They are typically very successful, as SEAL training has prepared each of these men toward pulling together a team and never settling for less than their best. Those skills contribute to a strong work ethic that can be valued in any situation.
