Richard Marcinko

I believe the Seals Team Six has Commander Richard Marcinko to thank for their success. He was the first commanding officer of a new unit that he proudly named SEAL,Team Six. This was early in 1979 when the Navy had only two Seal teams. Marcinko handpicked the men he wanted for his SEAL,Team Six, from the Navy's Special Operations community.


He was very meticulous in his selection, and from the Navy's best, he made into a superior team that the United States of America will long remember, and is proud to claim them as their own.


Americans, who knew about this great man's endeavor and his execution of his great training skills that saved many Seals from death, will forever be thankful. It has been said that the Seals training under Richard Marcinko was harder than any mission they were ever on. He prepared them for any possible scenario in their training for the Counter-Terrorist Team. He wanted them to stay alive and complete their missions, and come back home to their families.


Richard "Dick" Marcinko was in command of SEAL,Team Six for three years; from 1980-1983. This man experienced many missions of which he commanded. He was born in Lansford, Pennsylvania on November 21, 1940. And in 1958 he enlisted in the United States Navy.


And from the Naval Postgraduate School he earned his B.A. Degree in international relations, and a Master of Arts degree in political science at Auburn University. Whatever, came after this great man's career, and any issues that fell upon him--will never diminish what he has accomplished for the United States of America.

I for one am proud of him and men like him--where would our country be without the Richard Marcinkos of our world.

Naval Special Warfare Development Group

                                                                      
Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU) are based in Virginia, and is responsible for U.S. counterterrorist operations in the maritime environment, however, they were previously know as MOB 6, Team Six, and MareSFAC.

The Navy Seals began in the Vietnam War, on January 1, 1962. They are a very important part of the Navy, they are Maritime Special Operations Force, in the Air, Sea, and Land.

They are:

• Special reconnaissance
• Direct actions
• Foreign Internal defense
• Counter-terrorism
• Unconventional warfare
• Counter-drug operations
• Personal recovery
• Hydrographic Reconnaissance

The Navy Seals are a branch to be proud of, and we are very proud of them as Americans--- mothers, sisters, wives, aunts, and grandmothers.

Their Motto: "The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday"

                      "It Pays To Be A winner" We as Americans have so much to be proud of, and especially the men and women who protect us 24/7, without our knowledge. I hope they know how gratified we are for their stealthy actions; they take for the American people, as they put their lives in jeopardy; to protect ours. From these experts are selected the Naval Special Warfare Development Group. You can not join the unit it is a Counter Terrorism unit within US Naval Special Warfare Command; members are recruited from other Seal teams, making this group the cream of the crop. The zenith of all trained Seals Group is what protects America. Training takes six to seven months of required skills so they could perform under fire. Many times they have to blend in with civilians throughout a covert operation, so it is vital they can speak different languages. Working together the unit worldwide can communicate with the people of different countries. Each Seal was selected because of his diverse skills, to become a member of the unit. Selected candidates will usually be in their 30's. And this is just the beginning, because they have to prove they are the best of the best by performing to the highest level in the training courses. Training comprised of:

• Free-climbing
• Advanced Unarmed Combat Techniques
• Defense and Offensive Driving
• Diving
•  Survival
• Evasion
• Resistance
• Escape
• Parachuting
• Basic Underwater Demolitions

This training is rigorous and is the highest risk level known, and at least half will fail the course, and be sent back to their previous unit. There have been a few serious injuries or death among the trainees; however, this training is necessary to make it as realistic as possible. The Seals who past the course will be in the Naval Special Warfare Development Group(DEVGRU) and will be ready to meet any challenge they encounter.
I say God Bless Them All!
