Following Success of Army’s SFAB Unit, Navy Creates Security Education and Liaison (SEaL) Units

NORFOLK, VA – Following the huge success, fanfare, and funding for the United States Army’s Security Force Assistance Brigades, the United States Navy has announced the creation of Security Education and Liaison (SEaL) Units in order to conduct security cooperation and training activities with partner nations.

“The SEaL Units can serve a dual purpose,” said the Navy’s Vice Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral William F. Moran. “They are the day-to-day experts combatant commanders need to train, advise and assist our partners overseas, but they also serve to free up our Special Operations sailors to pursue more press-worthy opportunities in order to ensure we have the requisite number of book deals and movie deals in the pipeline at all times.”

Building upon the framework created by the Army for their SFAB units, the SEaL Units have appropriated iconography, titles, and lineage from established Special Operations units in order to instantly create unit pride prior to any real accomplishments, and enhance recruiting opportunities and entice sailors to join the new units.

Following the example of SFAB units issuing all Soldiers green berets for merely volunteering for the unit, upon completion of Hell Night, an intensive 7 hour test of the sailors endurance and mental toughness, and Basic Understanding of Deployment Skills Course (a two-week Navy Non-resident Training Course correspondence course) all sailors will be issued the SEaL Trydent, or Miller (as SEaL graduates refer to it), a symbol of the extensive training and harsh conditions they’ve been through.

The Navy reveres their SOF too much to disrespect them the way the Army does. Need to keep the memes coming; seems to be getting the most attention at the top.

A very good friend of mine went to high school with a guy that joined the Navy – his buddy spent 8 months hot-bunking with a guy that was assigned as a BUPERS clerk so I know that this comes from a reliable source…

The CNO has already gotten a metric shit-ton of negative feedback from active duty and retired Navy SEAL operators and they are fucking furious that this is going down after the shit-show with the SFAB’s getting a brown colored green beret. The CNO is planning to post a rebuttal on the Navy-Times website to clarify the issue. Supposedly it is mostly bad information and poor messaging. The Security Education and Liaison (SEaL) Units are not in competition with the SEAL community. Any resemblance is purely coincidental. It was clarified by reminding everyone that the SEALS only work with the SEALS from other nations Navy SEALS and don’t work with conventional Sailors. The SeaLs will SPECIALIZE in dealing with regular Sailors.

The confusion hit a boiling point when it was leaked that within the Security Education and Liaison enterprise, there was going to be a smaller, lighter, more elite element referred to as the Deployment Execution Vakils. The DEV group will serve as lead agents that represent the commander’s future objectives. Because of the nature of this mission requirement, the Deployment Execution Vakil Group will have a much higher physical fitness and weight standard and will be limited to those that weigh less than 180 pounds. The unit insignia for the Deployment Execution Vakil Group will be smaller and platinum colored and will be referred to as a ‘Miller-Lite’

I just heard from old Navy buddy that the latest is the name of the new unit will be Security Quality Education and Liaison (SQuEaL). Their emblem will be a likeness of Ned Beatty from his role in the movie Deliverance.

The SEaLs announced their new motto today according to a close source.

“The only cheesy day was yesterday!”

And

“It pays to be a wiener!”


The source said that it has NOTHING to do with ANY SEAL mottos!

Odd, I had heard that they will be Security Quality Unit of Intelligence Department (SQUID)
