scooberoo Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Navy SEAL Delivery Vehicle Team. Shane Patton. RIP. Not sure about these guys. But, since I'm low on pics...enjoy it. Joint Special Operations Task Force (SOTF) personnel fast-rope down to the ground from a US Navy (USN) MH-60S Knighthawk helicopter while simulating taking down a moving target. Joint Special Operations Task Force (SOTF) team members stop and seize a moving vehicle target during training. US Forces!!! Get down you mutha...!!! Link to post Share on other sites
scooberoo Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Vietnam. I'm not too familiar with Vietnam stuff, but these might show the birth of the SEALs. Link to post Share on other sites
Jimisin73 Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 I think you are correct. IIRC those pictures look alot like the ones from Darryl Young's book THE ELEMENT OF SUPRISE. Nice early SEAL pics Link to post Share on other sites

t_wad Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Am I the only one who finds it funny that they take the time to paint their face and then wear jeans? Link to post Share on other sites
Tommygunn Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Yep, they are Seals as you will notice the presence of the Stoner 63 weapon system in virtually all the pics. Link to post Share on other sites
Jimisin73 Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Am I the only one who finds it funny that they take the time to paint their face and then wear jeans? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Having read a ton about the Teams in Vietnam, you have to take a few things into account: 1st: Almost all of their operations took place at Night, so dark pants worked well for camoflage. 2nd: The issued equipment at the time was old style OD jungle fatigues which wouldn't hold up to the wear and tear of the kind of 12 hour Ambush or Parakeet (Prisoner Snatch) Ops in and out of the water in the Delta. 3rd: The Teams are renound for their use of "expedient" equipment because the conventional Navy Supply system has always had problems getting them the gear they need in theater. 4th: In Vietnam SEAL teams almost never worked in conjunction with other US forces, so IFF wasn't an issue. Basically they worked in Free Fire Zones where they were the only Americans operating... everyone else was VC Basically, if you see Stoner M63s, Fu Manshu Mustaches, Blue Jeans, Swedish K Sub Machine Guns, Coral Boots or Silenced Pistols, more often than not they're SEALs Link to post Share on other sites
KAHUNA_32 Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Yeah, but you don't just 'join the SEAL's' do you? They would have been in the Marines or Army or whatnot before that, so they would already know how to use an M9 very well. Anyways... anyone got any more pics? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> well actually no.

Nodbugger Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 well actually no. NO EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED to join the SEALs. SEALs Recruitment Requirements Page <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep SEALs and Special Forces are both opened to civilians now, enlisted, not officers. Link to post Share on other sites

darkchild130 Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 anyone got any Delta force pics? I didn't want to start a new thread so i thought i'd ask here. Personally i find the D-boys more interesting than seals. Darkchild Link to post Share on other sites

Aren't they the apparent SAS/SBS pictured here? http://media.militaryphotos.net/photos/All.../SEAL_watching2 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Read somewhere that stated that they were the KSK, I was a little unsure but when I saw that "sbs" picture the camo matches up, and the weapon the guy at the front is carrying looks very similar to the painted G36's they carry. Edit: If you look realy closely, you can see an Eotech, so yea, I think they are ksk. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
darkchild130 Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 looking through that delta thread i can safely say it's load of ######. So my original question still stands, does anyone have any Delta pics? Darkchild Link to post Share on other sites
trfo2o Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 it's basically impossible to find any that you haven't seen before, your going to have to go to a book store or shop online for any books on DELTA force or SPECIAL FORCES that contain pictures. Here is a link to some pictures that I found a while back. http://media.militaryphotos.net/photos/Delta Link to post Share on other sites
darkchild130 Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 i've seen all those before. I was afraid that was the case but i thought it couldn't help asking as the array of SEAL pictures was mightily impressive! I suppose the stealthy d-boys really are too stealthy for their own good, much like our own SAS buggers. Darkchild Link to post Share on other sites
ianhaz Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Haha i find it kind of ammusing that whenever you see pictures of special forces in the field they always seem to have the scrottyest kit they could possible have(okay, mell maybe its just the apparent SAS pictures). If you turned up to an airsoft skirmish in a black t shirt and trackys with webbing over it and a shemagh all the geardos would probably critisise you for not being "milsim" Link to post Share on other sites
darkchild130 Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 you've made a very good point there, which is exactly the reason i don't go for any particular look. Any special forces unit can look just like any other in the right circumstances. (and it would be a bit silly for a soldier to imitate another soldier anyway, no matter how good the other soldier is) Darkchild Link to post Share on other sites
guillom Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 sorry, EOD, not seal :/ Link to post Share on other sites
Jimisin73 Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Pardon my ignorance, but how can you tell that guy is EOD and not from the Teams? The only time I ever saw the EOD guys, they were wearing protecs, and od flight suits, or the old fashioned "Working Greens" (in offices or working in their compound on base).
