Navy Seals

The Navy Seals

A Navy seal is a specialized unit of the United States

Navy that deploys on special missions to help defend and

protect Americans all over the world. In the future the navy

will be better equipped to defend America with an

advancement in weapons and training. We will be better off

when the government opens more schools and training

facilities across the country.

What is the purpose of the seals

The purpose of the Navy seals is to serve and

to protect. The American Navy sends seals on

missions that require a high amount of skill. The seals

have protected the army since before World War II.

The seals training

Here’s a fact about training . Only about 25% of trainees

(students) make it through boot camp to become a seal. The

training takes over 30 months. There are three phases that

include running, swimming and obstacle courses.”Training

becomes more difficult with each phase said Tom Frien”.

Navy seal weapon system.

A seal has never been taken prisoner, because of

their advanced weapon system. Their main assault

rifle is the standard issue M16. Their side arm is the

glock nine millimeter. The seal sniper uses the

m40a1 carbine. This takes an M40a1 lapua cartridge.

The types of missions

“The missions they go on are mostly the higher risk

missions said Robert Rounds’’. The seals go on the

missions that normal soldiers can’t go on because they

aren’t properly trained. These missions are the hardest

missions that you can go on in the armed forces.
