There will come a time in our lives when we decide to follow a more challenging path. These paths may seem close to impossible but once they are accomplished, the feeling is very rewarding. The US Navy is offering different military positions and one of them as a Navy Rescue Swimmer. Navy Rescue Swimmers are [...]

The US Navy does employ sea lions. It is not a hoax like the gigantic humanoid Bigfoot. It is not also part of a war strategy videogame like those made and distributed by EA. As proof of this fact, in 2003, the US Navy sent out navy-trained sea lions to the Persian Gulf. These sea [...]

Albeit it may sound absurd, the navy history of the United States of America involves navy dolphins. This is not a name of a special squad of specially trained soldiers like the US Navy SEALS.

When it comes to Navy SEAL fans, it’s hard to go wrong with Christmas gifts. The idea is pretty clear – a gift must be related to Navy SEALs and express someone’s loyalty towards them. However, there are so many different options to choose from, that we thought we’d gather all the ideas and organize [...]
