Because the Marine Corps, along with the US Navy, are the two uniformed services which comprise the Department of the Navy. This department is a component of the Department of Defense.
This may come as a shock to you, but the US Navy SEALs are under the Navy and not the Marine Corps
Considering that the marines are always the first to respond, they may be considered better in recon then the navy in general. However, the navy SEAL's may be considered better than the marines in genreal since the SEAL's are special ops.
No you cannot do that. The Navy SEALs is just that, the NAVY. You would have to finish your enlistment in the Marine Corps and then join the Navy.
Marines are not on par with the Seals. Marines are a regular force, seals are special operations. A more likely match would be Marine Recon Vs Seal
If you stuck a squad of Marines and A squad of army soldiers, The marines would definatley win! Marine are trained to be right in the action, Army soldiers are more for support and backup. Marines are trained more harsh and cruel than a Army soldier.
The SEALs, like the US Marines and the rest of the Navy get their legal services through the US Navy Judge Advocate General's Corps (JAG).
Any U.S. Serviceman can become a SEAL, as long as the educational, physical, and madical requirements are met. In the case of a Marine first said marine would have to serve his obligated contract with USMC, or get a waiver and sign new contract of enlistment with the navy. Just talk to your career counsellor and get guidance on proper course of action. But the answer to the question is, YES a Marine can become a Navy SEAL, there are just a few more steps to climb. In any case if being a SEAL is the goal then that person will find a way. I know several former Marines that are in the teams now.
Every Branch in the US Military has its own Special Operations unit. Air Force - AFSOC Marines - MARSOC Army - USSOC Navy - SOCOM
If you originally enlisted in the Navy, passed the screen test, made it to BUD/s and passed. then you passed the SQT and got your SEAL trident, then re-enlisted in the marines...I'm sure you could still wear your trident since the Marines are a department of the Navy. But some Marines might think of it as disrespectful since Marines don't look for recognition of their hard work, and if you have a SEAL trident on, your basically broadcasting you're a badass. not too humble there. Was in the teams from 1969 to 1980. We did have a guy that had been in the Marine corp, served in Vietnam and then got out, joined the navy and became one of us. Later he got his college degree and became an officer in the teams. If he sees this, I hope that he knows that Beaver Grant was always proud of him, even though I kicked him that one time. This is the only case of this kind that I could imagine.
Some people think that a Navy Seal Sniper is safer than Navy Seal Infantry. Some people think that Navy Seal Infantry is safer than a Navy Seal Sniper.
No , "Mr. Green Jeans" (Hugh Brannum January 5, 1910 - April 19, 1987) was in the US Marines .
To answer a number of questions at once, too become a Navy SEAL you must be in the US Navy. No one but Navy sailors can be or train to be a SEAL. No women either. The above is true for all 3 branches. To become an Army Ranger, you most be in the Army. Marine Recon - Only Marines can be Marine Recon. Also, no females are allowed in the school or service in the unit
