Perhaps the most astonishing detail to emerge from the raid on Osama bin Laden was the presence a most unusual soldier: a dog named Cairo, a Belgian Malinois who’d gone through the canine equivalent of SEAL training.

On that mission, he was responsible for helping to secure the perimeter of the bin Laden house, sniffing out bombs and, if necessary, attacking enemy combatants. He...

Carl Higbie served twice in Iraq, once in 2007 under Bush, and then again in 2009 under Obama.
Recently he wrote a book, “Battle on the Homefront: A Navy SEAL’s Mission to Save the American Dream,” and then got on WND News Radio to publicize its release.
Oh, and also to lambast everyone in sight.
Apparently, to Higbie, we...

Navy EOD Officer?

are0planes — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 01:39:58 +0000

I am currently a Midshipman at a school in Virginia, we will agree I am within 5 miles of NAS Norfolk. Currently, I have found in myself that I want to pursue a career as a EOD Officer above anything else. My question is, what exactly do EOD Officer's do after completing all of there schooling following commissioning. I have done a fair bit of research and found that you may lead a 8 man group up to 20 on your first tour but I have found counter statements and I do not know which to believe....

Hello all I am currently a 24 y/o male who is working as a part-time firefighter/emt for two combination departments. I have been wanting to join the U.S. Navy as a SEAL for many years now.

So I just wanted to hear from some operators what it was like for them kind of get an idea maybe some motivation. I...

Officer or Enlisted route - NSW

Deadpool — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 00:43:57 +0000

Hey guys,
Basically I'm 17 at the moment - as you can see on my profile- I'm in my final year of High School, and I'm choosing as to whether I should enlist or go the Officer route. I've spoken to several former SEALs, and the Officers have said that going the Officer route is more beneficial to yourself in the long run whereas Enlisted Men have suggested the idea of going the enlisted route and then eventually putting your papers in for OCS.
My concern is not the title but rather...

Naval SPECWAR medical waivers - Active Duty

sprinter922 — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 05:02:45 +0000

Hello everyone,

As posted in my intro, I've gone through a lot trying to get into the military. A quick summary; I spent years preparing for the Army Rangers; mentors and all. I signed up and left high school early with a diploma. I was "generally" discharged at the end of infantry school for mild scoliosis under medical conditions. After that, there was a brutal 2+ year reenlistment process to attain a special operations contract for ANY branch. After taking the PST for months, passing the...
