Officers from Naval Special Warfare ranks would infuse the seagoing navy with the warrior ethos that has always characterized the SEAL and SWCC communities. usni.org/magazines/p...

can we send some angry NSW folks to Newport to help make the USNR’s 36-hour OCS weekend a little scarier?

jimmyperezshetland.bsky.social•45 days ago

5 weeks

plunkettprime.bsky.social•45 days ago

but 4 of those weeks are “bunkmate massage” and “self-abuse” time.

jimmyperezshetland.bsky.social•45 days ago

You know it

Man, they really said, "we'll get rid of SOCOM J10... but now everyone else has to suffer the SOF mindset, not just the CWMD nerds."

This will be devastating, they can’t write books about being supply officers.

The best Navy SEAL wouldn't last one day as an LHD XO.

nf1nk.bsky.social•45 days ago

I would love to watch a SEAL try to get the toilets fixed as a Public Works Officer.

navmecheng.bsky.social•45 days ago

To be fair to Public Works, that's Civil Engineer Corps, one of the Staff Corps of the Navy.

optesterchris.bsky.social•45 days ago

I have so many comments, but I’m on an airplane and I want to enjoy the movie I’m watching.

nf1nk.bsky.social•45 days ago

The CEC Officers really try to work miracles on budgets that are less than half of what's needed.

I am amazed we can keep them for very long.

navmecheng.bsky.social•45 days ago

Hell, most of NAVFAC is Reservists or retired CEC or enlisted Seabee

... "The greatest talent contribution NSW provides to the Navy is via sailors who attrite from SEAL and SWCC pipelines."

Not to knock on the rest of the hammered dogshit that is this article, but that line, holy shit.
I've known enough BUD/S washouts in the fleet to know that's a full diaper load.

spaghettibeaver.bsky.social•44 days ago

"talent contribution"? no, probably not.
"contribution to my captains mast workload? yes, absolutely.

Sea Sparrow CQB sessions weekly.

This is worse than "the National Guard can fix teacher shortages"

gruntyginman.bsky.social•45 days ago

Some E4 at a rural school in New Mexico:"you kids want to learn how to make a bomb out of an MRE?"

combatcavscout.bsky.social•45 days ago

It’s so funny to me how the civilian world huffs SEAL farts as hard as SEALs do (if not harder), but if you ask 99.9% of other service members about SEALs all you’ll get is eye rolls and heavy sighs.

combatcavscout.bsky.social•45 days ago

Like, I didn’t even need to click the article to know that these guys were nAvY sPeCiAl WaRfArE guys.

combatcavscout.bsky.social•45 days ago

Honestly (and anecdotally), if you were to rank each branch’s special operations forces in terms of how much respect they have within the force, I think it would go something like:

1) USAF
2) Army
3) USMC
4) USCG
.
.
.
.
.
USN.

Maybe some contention about Army/USMC rankings.

amfisher.bsky.social•45 days ago

You left out Space Force and their famed Jedi Knights.

You joke, but... https://bsky.app/profile/aevansaun.gobirds.online/post/3lo5ablmol223

From my very limited understanding and exposure to our Tier 1 SF: They view Seals like that kid when you were growing up who had the latest PlayStation and a pool and his parents had good snacks and soda.

puckthepilot.bsky.social•44 days ago

You can't throw a dart in a bar without hitting a former SEAL.

aevansaun.gobirds.online•45 days ago

"Rangers with flippers" 😅

pisseartiste.bsky.social•45 days ago

Isn't the USMC just the USN's army?

blackcloudsix.bsky.social•44 days ago

I said elsewhere that as soon as I saw the crossed arrows on former NSA Waltz’s lapel, I knew there’d be drama.

notchbackfiero.bsky.social•44 days ago

I....have to wait till my current ADOS is over before I speak lol

markaallerton.bsky.social•45 days ago

The replies to that warm my heart.

popeolga.meangirls.online•45 days ago

So what they're gonna enforce doing HGH, beating your spouse, and writing dog-shit books across the whole Navy?

Is that the plan?

higwayman429.bsky.social•45 days ago

Nothing but creatine and diet supplements in mess 24/7.

popeolga.meangirls.online•45 days ago

Part of making the military a hyper mobile strike force means upgrading from constant MRE constipation to explosive, high pressure ballistic creatine shits

higwayman429.bsky.social•45 days ago

These shits will henceforth be known as Freedom Feculence.

l0stsole.bsky.social•44 days ago

Well played... or sprayed, I mean whatever.

bigsteven.bsky.social•45 days ago

JFC, no.

I’m so sick of the fetishization that people have for SOF in general, but SEALs particularly.
