Seals, An Enemies Worst Nightmare!
The
United States Navy Sea, Air and Land (SEAL) forces are the Special
Operations Forces of the U.S. Navy, employed in unconventional warfare,
foreign internal defense, direct action, Counter-Terrorism, and special
reconnaissance operations.
Those qualified to become Navy SEALs are authorized, after completing
Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL school (BUD/S) and a specialized
program known as SQT (SEAL Qualification Training), to wear and display
the Special Warfare Badge, also known as the SEAL Trident. This badge
serves as the insignia for the SEALs as a whole and is one of the most
recognizable warfare insignia among U.S. Special Operations Forces. It
is usually worn along with the U.S. Navy paratrooper wings, which are
awarded after 10 jumps. In order to blend in with units they are
supporting, Navy SEALS wear modified versions of all service Battle
Dress Uniforms (BDUs). However, during the Vietnam War, SEAL members
wore 'tiger stripe' camouflage uniforms, often with civilian blue jeans
and 'coral' sneakers, for patrol missions.
Priceless!

The SEAL Code
"Loyalty to Country, Team and Teammate Serve with Honor and Integrity On
and Off the Battlefield, Ready to Lead, Ready to Follow, Never Quit,
Take responsibility for your actions and the actions of your teammates,
Excel as Warriors through Discipline and Innovation, Train for War,
Fight to Win, Defeat our Nation’s Enemies, Earn your Trident everyday."
SEAL Creed
"In times of war or uncertainty there is a special breed of warrior
ready to answer our Nation’s call. A common man with uncommon desire to
succeed. Forged by adversity, he stands alongside America’s finest
special operations forces to serve his country, the American people, and
protect their way of life. I am that man.
My Trident is a symbol of honor and heritage. Bestowed upon me by the
heroes that have gone before, it embodies the trust of those I have
sworn to protect. By wearing the Trident I accept the responsibility of
my chosen profession and way of life. It is a privilege that I must earn
every day.
My loyalty to Country and Team is beyond reproach. I humbly serve as a
guardian to my fellow Americans always ready to defend those who are
unable to defend themselves. I do not advertise the nature of my work,
nor seek recognition for my actions. I voluntarily accept the inherent
hazards of my profession, placing the welfare and security of others
before my own.
I serve with honor on and off the battlefield. The ability to control my
emotions and my actions, regardless of circumstance, sets me apart from
other men. Uncompromising integrity is my standard. My character and
honor are steadfast. My word is my bond.
We expect to lead and be led. In the absence of orders I will take
charge, lead my teammates and accomplish the mission. I lead by example
in all situations.
I will never quit. I persevere and thrive on adversity. My Nation
expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my
enemies. If knocked down, I will get back up, every time. I will draw on
every remaining ounce of strength to protect my teammates and to
accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight.
We demand discipline. We expect innovation. The lives of my teammates
and the success of our mission depend on me - my technical skill,
tactical proficiency, and attention to detail. My training is never
complete.
We train for war and fight to win. I stand ready to bring the full
spectrum of combat power to bear in order to achieve my mission and the
goals established by my country. The execution of my duties will be
swift and violent when required yet guided by the very principles that I
serve to defend.
Brave men have fought and died building the proud tradition and feared
reputation that I am bound to uphold. In the worst of conditions, the
legacy of my teammates steadies my resolve and silently guides my every
deed. I will not fail."
